Hello Jvescov1,

 

Thanks for posting back about being stuck with aswMBR.  The machine is disconnected from the internet so if a tool tries to download anything, it will fail.  That is a good thing in this case.  :)

 

For now, I would like you to eject the USB from the infected computer, put it back into the clean computer to copy ERUNT onto it:

 

First

Make a backup of the existing registry using ERUNT:

ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.

Click here to download the ERUNT installer to your USB stick.

 

When the download is finished, eject the USB stick, and put it back into your infected computer.

 

On the infected computer, copy the ERUNT installer over from the USB stick to your Desktop, and run it. Follow the prompts to create your first registry backup.

 

Second

Please try to run aswMBR.exe in Safe Mode:

 

Boot into Safe Mode in Windows Vista

Note: Please print these instructions or copy/paste them into a notepad file in case you are unable to access this site.

  • Turn your computer off through Shut Down.
  • Wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
  • Once your computer's manufacturer logo (eg. 'Dell') starts to show, start pressing the F8 key repeatedly.
  • Keep pressing it until the Windows Advanced Options Menu loads up.
  • Make sure 'Safe Mode' is selected, navigate to it by using the arrow keys.
  • Press enter, and your computer will start booting into Safe Mode.

 

Once in Safe Mode, try to run aswMBR.exe from your Desktop again. 

 

If you can't get aswMBR.exe to run in Safe Mode, just copy/paste the log files you already have from your infected computer to your USB stick, and from the clean computer, copy/paste the log file contents back here so we can look at what you have.

 

 

Did you have any problems running TDSSKiller?

 

Looking forward to seeing the Security Check, TDSSKiller and aswMBR logs... :cool:

Hello Jvescov1,

 

It's been a couple days since my last post here, but I haven't heard back from you.  Have you run my last instructions above?  Do you still need help with your system?

 

Please let me know where things stand.  :)

Hi Jvescov1,

 

No problem, I'm happy to see that you have returned.  :)

 

Thanks for the logs so far.  Could you please try aswMBR.exe in Safe Mode again, but this time, deny the definitions prompt.  Then click the Scan button and see if you can get it to run successfully.

 

If you do get it to run, when it finishes, only click on the Save log button, save the log to the Desktop or your USB stick, then click the Exit button.

 

Let me know the results please.

 

Also: I have to travel for work today (@5:30AM EST), so my availability may be limited for most of the day.  I'll try to check in here while traveling to see if you've responded back and provide what I can for answers and/or steps to continue on our path of getting that machine clean... ;)

Hello Jvescov1,

 

Thanks for the log.  I'd like you to take these steps now:

 

First

Get the files you will need

 

Download the following files to your USB stick from your clean computer:

Plug your USB drive into the infected computer and copy the fixlist.txt and FSS.exe files to the Desktop.

 

Second

Run a FRST Fix
 

  •  Make sure the fixlist.txt file is on your the Desktop (where FRST.exe is located).

    (Note: It's important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.)

    Notice: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system.
  • Run FRST/FRST64 from your Desktop and press the Fix button just once and wait.
    FRST_Fix_zps8lrdygec.png
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.  After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop named Fixlog.txt. Please copy and paste the log to your USB stick.

Third

 

Run a scan with Farbar Service Scanner

Please run FSS.exe from the infected computer's the Desktop, and run it on the computer with the issue.

  • Make sure the following options are checked:
    • Internet Services
    • Windows Firewall
    • System Restore
    • Security Center
    • Windows Update
  • Press "Scan".
  • It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run (the Desktop).
  • Please copy and paste the log to your USB stick.

 

 

Then

Plug your USB stick into the clean computer, and copy/paste the contents of the following logs in your reply:

  • FRST fixlog
  • FSS log
