Render,

 

The PC seems to be runnning fine.  I still see requests for ipconfig and arp in Security Agent.  Are these nomal?  I don't remember seeing them before.

 

I can't run sfc /scannow on this PC as I do not have admin priviledges... is there a work around?

 

Thanks once again for your help!

Hi,

Please make a screenshot of Security Agent and post it here.

 

I can't run sfc /scannow on this PC as I do not have admin priviledges... is there a work around?

 

 

That's strange as if you are logged in as wjabs you should have administrators rights. Please try to open Command Prompt by just double-click on it and than run sfc /scannow command.

Hi,

 

For some reason or other I cannot post a screen shot?    This is the message I get "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community."

 

Thanks

With jpg or png image extension you should be fine and should be less than 2MB in size. Try to save your screen-shot image in jpg or png format and not in bmp.

First, please disable your anti-virus program. Then check Enable detection of potentially unwanted applications and click on Start button. Scan will take a couple of hours so I recommend you to this before you go to sleep and leave it over night.

Render,

 

I tried running Eset.  The application ran but never saw the scrrens that you posted here?  After the downoad I saw the esetsmartinstaller.exe and ran it as you instructed.  The next window popped up for me to accept terms of use... which I did, but I never saw the window to select compute scan setting???  The application launched.  It ran for 2 hours, here is a screen shot of what I saw:

The PC seems to be running fine.  The only thing is that I'm still seeing are the arp and ipconfig requests.  Which I never saw until the PC was infected.

 

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) attempted to execute the new application 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipconfig.exe'. The operation was denied. [2564]

6/5/2014 11:07:32 AM: The current application 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' (as user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) attempted to execute the new application 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\arp.exe'. The operation was denied. [2564]

Thanks
 

p.s There was no log created after eset ran.

From provided logs I can't say that your computer is or was infected.

 

5/27/2014 3:28:10 PM: The current application 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' (as user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) attempted to execute the new application 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipconfig.exe'. The operation was denied. [2564]

5/27/2014 3:28:10 PM: The current application 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' (as user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) attempted to execute the new application 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\arp.exe'. The operation was denied. [2564]

 

These events above are Cisco related things. I don't know why they there and if they are malware related. Main problem here is that your system is configured for corporate use and as such you don't have all administrative rights. That's why our tools can't run properly as they need administrative rights.

 

Log report of ESET scan results should be located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\ESET Online Scanner\log.txt Please take look one more time and if it's there post it here.
