Hello

The logs look good, only a music toolbar that needs to be removed. We'll remove it, and take care of the out of date Java program.

Please disable your antivirus for the duration of my instructions. Don't forget to re-enable it after you have completed the steps.


Step 1: Fix with FRST

• Open notepad (Start =>All Programs => Accessories => Notepad). Please copy the entire contents of the code box below. (To do this highlight the contents of the box, right click on it and select copy.
• Right-click in the open notepad and select Paste).
• Save it on the desktop as fixlist.txt
  
  NOTE: It's important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Start
CreateRestorePoint:
C:\Users\SJB\AppData\LocalLow\Vafmusic
End

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system.


Run FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait. The tool will make a log on the desktop (Fixlog.txt) please post it in your next reply.


Step 2: Java Warning and JavaRa

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java

Please read this article about Java.

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to disable Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version.

I tried twice to uninstall music toolbar, but I guess it won't uninstall.

Hello

Well, I guess the board decided to eat my last response. Let's remove my tools, and create a new clean restore point on the machine.


Step 1: Tool Removal with Delfix and Creation of a clean restore point

• Download Delfix from here
• Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked
  Also tick:
  • Create registry backup
  • Purge system restore
  • Reset System Settings
  
• Click Run

The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. Please paste the log in your next reply.

• You can uninstall ESET Online Scanner at this time.
• I recommend keeping Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installed. Make sure to update it and run it at least once a week. If it finds things such as PUP's (Potentially Unwanted Programs) you can delete those with no worries. However, if it finds something like a trojan, come see us.

Step 2: Tips, Information, and Optional Installation of Unchecky

• Watch what you open in your emails. If you get an email from an unknown source with any attached files, do not open it.
• Install and keep only one anti-virus on your machine. Update it and scan your machine with it at least once a week.
• Be careful of the websites you visit.
• When installing new programs, don't be "click happy" and click through the screens. Many programs come with adware in them and are set to install them by default. Several programs require that you uncheck or select no to prevent the installation. Take your time and read each screen as you go.

To help protect yourself while on the web, I recommend you read How did I get infected in the first place?

I also recommend reading Miekiemoes Protection Tips


Installation of Unchecky

This is a very good little program that will automatically uncheck any boxes during a software installation. This helps prevent the software from installing any malware that is by default checked while the program is being installed.

• Click here to be taken to Unchecky.com
• Click the very large Download button.
• Click Save
• Once downloaded, double click the program (Vista, Win 7, and 8, right click and Run as Administrator)
• Once open, click the Install button.

Then click Finish




Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked.


Step 3: Protection Against CryptoLocker


CryptoLocker is a ransomware program that was released around the beginning of September 2013 that targets all versions of Windows including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. This ransomware will encrypt certain files using a mixture of RSA & AES encryption. When it has finished encrypting your files, it will display a CryptoLocker payment program that prompts you to send a ransom of either $100 or $300 in order to decrypt the files. This screen will also display a timer stating that you have 72 hours, or 4 days, to pay the ransom or it will delete your encryption key and you will not have any way to decrypt your files. This ransom must be paid using MoneyPak vouchers or Bitcoins. Once you send the payment and it is verified, the program will decrypt the files that it encrypted.

Please download and install CryptoPrevent to lock your machine down from this infection.
