Some CD Emulators use a hidden driver which can be seen as a rootkit, and can also interfere with a correct read of the state of the machine by our tools. Please remove these programs from your computer if present, inclucding the SPTD driver as especified here:

http://thespykiller....pic,8973.0.html

Once done, restart the computer and run GMER as follows.

You had previously downloaded a renamed copy of GMER to your C:\ folder.

• Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
• Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security program drivers will not conflict with this file.
• Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled.
• Double-click on the downloaded file to start the program. (If running Vista, right click on it and select "Run as an Administrator")
• Allow the driver to load if asked.
• You may be prompted to scan immediately if it detects rootkit activity.
• If you are prompted to scan your system click "No", save the log and post back the results.
• If not prompted, click the "Rootkit/Malware" tab.
• On the right-side, all items to be scanned should be checked by default except for "Show All". Leave that box unchecked.
• Select all drives that are connected to your system to be scanned.
• Click the Scan button to begin. (Please be patient as it can take some time to complete)
• When the scan is finished, click Save to save the scan results to your Desktop.
• Save the file as Results.log and copy/paste the contents in your next reply.
• Exit the program and re-enable all active protection when done.

I don't have any cd burn programs on my computer except ISOburn and media player. Should I uninstall both of these?

No. those are not CD emulation programs. Follow the steps to remove the SPTD driver as specified in the link provided, then after a restart, attempt to run GMER.

I ran gmer before and after uninstalling the SPTD drivers. I managed to save the log from before. After uninstalling, the pc froze every time I attempted to save the file. Would the log from before uninstall be useful?

Rather than saving the file. Keep it opened, then copy and paste its contents in a reply.

Please upload the following files to the Spykiller forum and let me know when done:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\cdfs.sys
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\cdfs.sys

No report is opening up after the scan. This is why I keep clicking save to try to save the file.

And there is nothing in GMER's window?

Upload those files.

* Copy the entire contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad.
* Name the file as query.bat
* Change the Save as Type to All Files
* and Save it on the desktop
* Once saved, double click on the query.bat file. Post the resulting report.

There's nothing in gmer's window beyond what pops up there within ten seconds of the scan starting. I can rerun it then do a screenie and upload it to photobucket for you -since I can't seem to upload image files here on this forum- if you like.

The files you requested me to upload were uploaded to the spykiller forum.

This is so weird. I am as perplex as you are. RootRepeal report is inconclusive. And, although there seems to be a hook in the MBR, seems undetectable.

Go to Start -> Run, type CMD and click OK. At the prompt type the following and press Enter after each command:

cd C:\
MBR.EXE -f

The program will attempt to fix the Master Boot Record and will produce a report. Post the contents of that report in your next reply.

Type Exit at the Command prompt and press Enter to return back to Windows.

I'm getting really frustrated to be honest. I've never had this much trouble with a virus before. Usually process explorer, mbam, clean. But this is insane.

I know. This has been a hard egg to crack.

Lets perform the test once again:


Go to Start -> Run, type CMD and click OK. At the prompt type the following and press Enter after each command:

cd C:\
MBR.EXE -t

The program will check the Master Boot Record and will produce a report. Post the contents of that report i your next reply.

Type Exit at the Command prompt and press Enter to return back to Windows.

I believe you used the wrong switch. -f is to fix, -t is to test.

One slip of the finger can make a big difference. Oi.
