FBI/MoneyPack Scam

Hi - I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but I just got hit by the FBI/MoneyPack scam. I just got hit by this scam for the second time. The first time I ran an Avast scan and after I moved a High Threat virus (don’t know which - don’t remember) to the chest my computer was fine. The thing is it just hit me while I am working on emails so it must still be in my system.

Can anyone help me get rid of this thing?

I would really appreciate it.

Please attach your logs. (AdwCleaner, MBAM, OTL and aswMBR…!!)
Instructions: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Sorry to take so long - had to use a back up pc to finish a project. My machine is running fine after the Avast scan and MBAM took out a few more viruses. Even so - the Avast scan corrected things for more for about a week the first time I got it and then I got hit again so I am worried the FBIscam is lurking in my machine.

Will post the aswbrw log in a bit.

Okay - scans and logs done.

OK it appears to be gone, however, there are a few bits I need to check out

[*] Download RogueKiller and save it on your desktop.

NOTE: If using IE8 or better Smartscreen Filter will need to be disabled

[*]Quit all programs
[*] Start RogueKiller.exe.
[*] Wait until Prescan has finished …
[*] Click on Scan

[*]Wait for the end of the scan.
[*] The report has been created on the desktop.
[*] Click on the Delete button.

Thanks a bunch. Hopefully I did this right.

Looks like you have zapped it, are you experiencing any problems ?

No - the pc is running fine. Thanks a lot for all the help Asyn and essexboy. I really appreciate it.

Oh yeah - I assume it is okay for me to delete all the logs and the programs like roguekiller?

Run AdwCleaner and select delete

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[
]Click OK.
