Does anyone know how to find and get rid of payload virus/malware?
It seems that I have something like that on my system, and it is damaging my HD. So I need help to get rid of it. it seems to hit my MBR and cause windows to not work right.
And why do you think you have that?
follow instructions here https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
attach Malwarebytes and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs … 3 logs total
see below the box you write in … Attachments and other options
What is happening seems to be to specific to be HD failing. I have been hit by it twice and I have had to use “HDD regenerator” to fix the MBR and both times HDD found and repaired the bad sectors. Also the second time it hit me was three days later. But I will get the scans and post them. At lease the logs for malwarebytes.
But I will get the scans and post them. At lease the logs for malwarebytes.The two logs from FRST are the important ones ....
It does not look like i need help anymore. Before i could do the scans it hit me again. so I said F this and reformated and reinstalled windows 7. Of course, I lost a lot of data that i was unable to back up and it set me back 4 months worth of work. I lost 4 months worth of work because some how the backups of what i was working on got corrupted. SIGH. I hate it when crap like this happens to me. I also hate the asshats that make these viruses. and if i ever get my hands on the one that made this one. I will rip them a new one.
to bad you reinstall the os you could have run the frst tool as pondus posted above to have a expert have a look. but you took the easy way and resintalled hoppefully your up and running agian.
