Running Combofix a second time is fine. In fact that is the recommendation with your bug. This is the latest version of Zero Access. (And the first time I have run across it - aren't you lucky!)

I think we will be OK after you do the stuff in post #11 http://www.geekstogo...ost__p__2323584

"Run aswMBR again (pause your anti-virus and right click on aswmbr.exe and Run As Admin) but this time change it from quickscan to C:\ before you start the scan."

I do not see where to change from quickscan to C:\ in aswmbr.

The only buttons that I see are "scan", "fixMBR", "save log", and "exit"

Look in the bottom left where it says a-v scan: Quickscan. If you click on the down arrow to the right of the box with Quickscan it should offer c:\ as an option.

In awsMBR, I do not see anything "a-v scan" in the bottom left - Only where to uncheck "Trace disc IO calls"?

OK. Just run it again the way you did last time and let's see if Zero Access is still there. In the meantime I will download it and test aswMBR again to see if they have changed the program.

Going off line for a couple of hours. Have to run into town.

Let's try ESET:

Use IE and go to http://eset.com/onlinescan and click on ESET online Scanner. Accept the terms then press Start (If you get a warning from your browser tell it you want to run it).

# Check Scan Archives
# Push the Start button.
# ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
# When the scan completes, push LIST OF THREATS FOUND
# Push EXPORT TO TEXT FILE , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
# Push the BACK button.
# Push Finish
# Once the scan is completed, you may close the window.
# Use Notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
# Copy and paste that log as a reply.

Looks like Combofix got it. Qoobox is where it puts things it removes.

aswMBR is not showing it any more.


I downloaded aswMBR and the AV Scan option is still there in the bottom left:

[attachment=66069:aswmbr.jpg]

Don't think we need it tho since ESET didn't find anything that wasn't in Qoobox or hadn't already been deleted.

How is it running now?

Did you run sfc /scannow? Did it finish without complaint?

Let's see if we can fix some of your errors:

Open Computer Management. (Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue)
- Go to Local Users and Groups -> Users
- Doubleclick UpdatusUser
- Uncheck User must change password at next logon
- Check User cannot change password
- Check Password never expires
- Click OK
- Search for Services.msc when it finds it right click and Run As Admin.
- Scroll down to "NVIDIA Update Service Daemon"
- Click Start. It should start without error.

You do not have the latest Java.
First go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Software (XP) or Programs and Features (Vista/Win 7) and remove any old versions (which may call themselves: Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, J2RE, J2SE)
I see:
Java™ 6 Update 5
Java™ 6 Update 7

Java has been very vulnerable to infection so unless you absolutely need it you should not reinstall it.

If you feel you must have Java:
Get the latest Java at:
http://www.java.com/en/

Save it to your PC then close all browsers and install it. Do not let it install the yahoo toolbar or other foistware.
Once installed, go into Control Panel, Java, Security and set the slider to the Highest then OK.

(If you also want the 64 bit version then use the 64 bit version of IE to get it.)

You have a bad install of Windows Works. It's stuck and not working right. Try Windows Repair All in One:


http://www.tweaking....all_in_one.html

You can run it (right click and Run as admin) with the boxes checked in the example.


Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue) Then click on the arrow in front of Event Viewer. Next Click on the arrow in front of Windows Logs Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear. Repeat for Application.

Reboot.


1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso
http://images.malwar...om/vino/VEW.exe
and save it to your Desktop:
2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator
3. Under 'Select log to query', select:

* System
4. Under 'Select type to list', select:
* Error
* Warning


Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:


1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
Then click the Run button.
Notepad will open with the output log.


Please post the Output log in your next reply then repeat but select Application.

"How is it running now?" It seems like it is running much better and faster.

"Did you run sfc /scannow? Did it finish without complaint?" I just ran it again and it said - Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in CBS.Log

Copy the next two lines:

findstr /c:"[SR]" \windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log > \windows\logs\cbs\junk.txt
notepad \windows\logs\cbs\junk.txt

Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue. Right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the copied line should appear.
Hit Enter. Notepad should open. Copy and paste the text from notepad.

This is Vista so hopefully it will just be the usual .ini files that it is complaining about.

Also need for you to


Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue) Then click on the arrow in front of Event Viewer. Next Click on the arrow in front of Windows Logs Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear. Repeat for Application.

Reboot.

2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator

4. Under 'Select type to list', select:

* Warning


Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:


1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
Then click the Run button.

Need to make sure Zero Access hasn't broken anything.

Here is the aswMBR run scanning C: instead of quick scan. I will continue the rest of the items in the post tomorrow after I get off work. I really appreciate all of your help. Everything is running much faster.

Sorry about that. Vista doesn't appear to have that option in the Computer Menu but you should still be able to bring it up this way:

1. Open the Start menu, and type lusrmgr.msc in the search line and wait for it to find it. Right click on it and Run As Admin.

2. If prompted by UAC, click on Continue.

Well we tried. You can look in the Control Panel under User Accounts but you probably won't find UpdatusUser

See if you can find a newer version of your NVIDIA software. Either on the PC maker's website or on NVIDIA http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-us
