Google Chrome Crashed, Now Can't Run Antivirus [Solved]

A few days ago, I left my room and when I came back, I found that Google Chrome had crashed. I then reopened it, tried to use Netflix, and it froze and crashed again. Something smelled funny so I then tried to run AVG. It would not open. I tried to uninstall, then reinstall but the new file would not even open. At this point, I've tried to run tdsskiller, Malwarebytes, Avast, and many other programs specifically for rootkits. None will open. Windows asks me for permission to open them - I say yes, and then nothing happens. I've been able to use Spybot S&D to run scans of individual files and folders, but it does not allow me to do a full scan. SUPER Antispyware Free Edition ran fine when I saved it to the desktop and ran it from there, but it has not remedied the problem. I then tried saving a bunch of other antivirus and antispyware programs on the desktop and executing them from there, but no luck. When I check msconfig for my startup programs, there's one called Microsoft Operating System that runs from some gibberish .dll file found in AppData\Roaming. It was on there 3 times - I disabled all, but one instance keeps coming back every time I restart. I deleted the gibberish file awhile ago, but it has made no difference. Google Chrome still regularly crashes or uses up way too much memory. Internet Explorer crashes less but still uses a lot of memory to run. I'm attaching the results from a FRST and adw scan. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm at my wit's end here.

 

EDIT: Oh, and AT&T apparently just sent my husband a message saying my computer is part of a botnet.

Unfortunately, I cannot run aswMBR.exe -- still having the same problem as with other programs. I did run the FRST fix tool though.

 

EDIT: And now my wifi keeps failing.

OK lets try this programme

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
NSIS_extraction.png
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
  • Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
  • Notes:
    1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
    2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.

    3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


    Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Ok, I was able to run ComboFix!! I rebooted and everything and initially, it seemed like everything was running more smoothly. I opened up IE (I'm still afraid to try opening Chrome) to reply to you, and it froze. The good thing is, I checked msconfig and that one instance of "Microsoft Windows Operating System" I couldn't get rid of before was not only disabled but completely gone from the list. It looks like that IazoBsoh directory with the gibberish .dll file still exists. Should I perhaps try deleting it now to see if it's still being run? My wifi has also stayed connected since I rebooted so I think that's a good sign. I've attached the ComboFix log to this reply.

I will remove it with combofix, a bit safer that way..  Let me know how the computer is after this including AVG

1. Close any open browsers.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
 

Folder::
c:\program files\Elantech
c:\users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Installer\{CCF298AF-9CE1-4B26-B251-486E98A34789}
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\IazoBsoh


Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe


CFScriptB-4.gif

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

I think that fixed it! The file and folder are no longer there. Everything seems to be working ok. I'll attach the log anyway just in case. You have been EXTREMELY helpful. I was about to lose it there for a while lol. Thank you so much for the help.

 

EDIT: I spoke too soon. I am still not able to open or run anything like AVG or malwarebytes. I tried to just to make sure everything was back to normal, but no luck.

 

EDIT2: Sorry, just didn't want to double post but wanted to keep you updated on what's going on: IE has now begun freezing and crashing. On top of that, at one point, using it spiked physical memory to 94%, even higher than before I ran any scans. It's like trying to get bees out of your garage but having to agitate them in the process. Every time I take a step forward, the dang thing acts out. Anyway, thanks again for the help!

Ok, ran it and attached the log. Quick question for you: My wireless capability keeps getting turned off randomly now - do you think this is due to the virus (assuming that's what it is) or due to the different scans having to remove some stuff that might have affected my wireless? Should I re-download drivers (from a trusted source, of course) for my comp after we finish this process? Thanks!

Ok, here is the file of the pre-scan results. Update on computer behavior: a few reboots ago, got a blue screen of death. Unfortunately, don't remember what it said. It hasn't happened since though. Computer seems to be running smoothly other than the issue mentioned about the wifi, which seems now to only turn off when returning to normal functionality after safe mode, but can easily be turned back on (thus not a huge problem). Should I go ahead and try to download and install AVG again as a test?

No luck. Downloading AVG to the desktop and trying to run it just leads to the computer asking me if it's okay to open, and then nothing happening again. I tried AVAST too because I heard it was better than AVG anyway and same thing. It's so odd because everything else appears fine at this point. No blue screens of death or browsers crashing since my last update.
