I have not heard from you in a couple of days so I am coming by to check on you to see if you are having problems or you just need some more time.

Also to remind you that it is very important that we finish the process completely so as to not get reinfected. I will let you know when we are complete and I will ask to remove our tools

Sorry for the long time to reply, I wanted to see if it would start revving up again. It hasn't. Also, the slowness and the crashing seem to have subsided. It happens in chrome and I believe it was happening in firefox, now that I think about it. I used to have firefox on here and I switched to chrome because I was having problems with it. . .but, from what I can remember it was much more severe. It had to be for me to just abandon it like that.

Sorry for not mentioning firefox before, I had honestly forgotten all about it until you mentioned browsers. I just checked with Internet Explorer and it seems like it's fine, it just takes a long time for a page to load. . .but that may just be IE, I don't know, I don't use it.

Firefox has already been removed, I removed it when it started acting up because I can't find it anywhere. I removed and reloaded chrome, and it seems to be working fine! I've tested all the programs that were running slow and they seem to be running alright now, and I haven't heard the fans go crazy lately, either. It seems like it's better! Thanks a bunch!

At this time I would like you to run this script for me and it is a good time to check out the computer to see if there is anything else that needs to be addressed.

:Run CFScript:

Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the box into the window:

ClearJavaCache::

Save it to your desktop as CFScript.txt

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe
Posted Image
This will let ComboFix run again.
Restart if you have to.
Save the produced logfile to your desktop.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Note 2: If you recieve an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registery key that has been marked for deletion." Please restart the computer

"information and logs"

  • In your next post I need the following

  • report from Combofix
  • let me know of any problems you may have had
  • How is the computer doing now after running the script?

Hello! I wanted to pop in and tell you that my home internet connection has been down. I'm on my work computer right now, and I thought I'd take the opportunity while I had it to get on here and inform you. I have a repairman coming Monday morning to give it a look, as they think my internet connection issues are actually hardware related and not just due to their constant outages. The computer with the infection has been cut off since the connection went off because I wasn't sure if we were totally finished and I didn't want to give anything any chance to replicate or anything. Hopefully everything will be taken care of Monday or Monday evening.

Sorry for all of this, and I just want to thank you again for taking your time to help me sort all of this out.

You are welcome, I'm only sorry I couldn't tell you sooner. Anyways, things *should* be fixed now as far as the internet goes. Obviously it was a little more of an ordeal than I thought it would be. Everything seems to be running fine as far as the computer goes. It hasn't started overheating or redirecting again. So it seems to be good on that front. It did start running randomly when it was supposed to be in hibernate. Not really sure why it does that (or if it's even relevant)- it's not updating or anything, but the obvious problems seem to be gone.

Anyways, here is the combofix log:

These logs are looking allot better. But we still have some work to do.

Please print out these instructions, or copy them to a Notepad file. It will make it easier for you to follow the instructions and complete all of the necessary steps..

uninstall some programs

NOTE** Because of the cleanup process some of the programs I have listed may not be in add/remove anymore this is fine just move to the next item on the list.

You can remove these programs using add/remove or you can use the free uninstaller from Revo (Revo does allot better of a job)

Update Adobe Reader

Recently there have been vulnerabilities detected in older versions of Adobe Reader. It is strongly suggested that you update to the current version.

You can download it from http://www.adobe.com.../readstep2.html
After installing the latest Adobe Reader, uninstall all previous versions.
If you already have Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition installed or do not wish to have it installed UNcheck the box which says Also Download Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition.

If you don't like Adobe Reader (53 MB), you can download Foxit PDF Reader(7 MB) from here. It's a much smaller file to download and uses a lot less resources than Adobe Reader.

Note: When installing FoxitReader, be careful not to install anything to do with AskBar.
[/list]

Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.
If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Greetings

These logs are looking very good, we are almost done!!! Just one more scan to go.

:Remove unneeded start-up entries:

This part of the fix is purely optional
These are programs that start up when you turn on your computer but don't need to be, any of these programs you can click on their icons (or start from the control panel) and start the program when you need it. By stopping these programs you will boot up faster and your computer will work faster.

If you have any problems running Hijackthis see NOTE** below (Host file not read, blank notepad ...)
