Severity-High Status-Threat: Win32:Malware-gen

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WERReportQueue\Kernel_0_0_cab_028d0c3f\Report.wer

Severity- Status-Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)

I was reluctant to do anything due to what happened yesterday, so i just losed the lid and left the screen there. Please advise as to what action i should take if any. Thank you for walking me through this, so far this has gone rather well and even though i have know idea what i am doing, you have made the process very easy to follow.

hey essexbox will help you when i comes online agian.

you could try a malwarebyte scan and see what it comes up with. don’t forget to update it before you scan.

OK could you now run OTL and I will see what else there is to remove

Download OTL to your Desktop
Secondary link

[*]Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.

%SYSTEMDRIVE%*.exe

/md5stop
CREATERESTOREPOINT

[*]Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
[*]When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
[*]Post both logs

here are the logs. i will be unavailable for the next 3 hours, but will follow whatever instructions you leave when i return.

How is the computer behaving now ? Any alerts or problems ?

[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

fix and scan are done, log is attached. things are seeming more normal, only thing i noticed prior to the scan were some pop ads on the side of my web browser.

Which browser was this in ?

Download AdwCleaner from here to your desktop
Run AdwCleaner and select Delete

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/AdwCleaner.GIF

Once done it will ask to reboot, allow this
On reboot a log will be produced please attach that

The pop up adds were in is 9. They have stopped since I ran otl fix. I used computer quite a bit last night with no issues that I could see. I will run adw cleaner in 2 hrs and post log.

Ran ADW Cleaner, the log is attached

Any further problems apparent or is all running OK ?

Everything seems to be good, no problems last night or today. Is there anything else i should do?

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 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.

Clear Restore Points

Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools
Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administrator
When it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appear
Select More Options tab
Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article and this article.
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 diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif
Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit
[*]Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?Keep safe :wave:

Will do thank you so much for all of your help, we really apreciate it. Have a Happy Eater, and thank you again for all of your help.

My pleasure ;D
