Oh hey all, got a question, I was on not-so-safe websites and Ive got a trojan warning from avast, but the thing is, it crashed AVAST. So I’m pretty sure I am infected. I restarted the computer half a second after windows told me AVAST crashed. What should I do to remove the threat?
Hi it is always prudent to reset passwords from a clean computer
Could you right click aswMBR
Select rename
Call it explorer and retry it
THEN
Do the following:
[*]Click on the Start button and then choose Control Panel.
[*]Click on the System and Security link.
Note: If you’re viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won’t see this link so just click on the Administrative Tools icon and skip to Step 4.
[*]In the System and Security window, click on the Administrative Tools heading located near the bottom of the window.
[*]In the Administrative Tools window, double-click on the Computer Management icon.
[*]When Computer Management opens, click on Disk Management on the left side of the window, located under Storage.
After a brief loading period, Disk Management should now appear on the right side of the Computer Management window.
Note: If you don’t see Disk Management listed, you may need to click on the |> icon to the left of the Storage icon.
Take a screen Shot of the Disk Management Window and attach the screen shot to your reply.
OK it is just that the latest TDL causes aswMBR to crash and it has a small partition all to itself. But you look clean
I saw no apparent malware markers on the OTL log
The MBAM removals are not really infections they are just a possible hijack point… I have my reg files set to open in notepad and MBAM kills that every time I run it
The PMB.exe process is Pando Media Booster, which is a downloader utility used by games online to download updates directly, rather than from the game company's server. It also enables your computer to get high downloading speed or streaming speed of very large files such as high-quality HDTV video, or giant games. Although the process has CPU issues sometimes, it is safe to users without malicious files. It can be removed through ‘add/remove programs’ in the Control Panel.
