I NEED HELP!!! the instruction at "0x7c923845" referenced memory at "0x00000000"

So I uninstall AVG from my computer the add/remove program way and then I used the uninstaller from the link that was provided. But… combo fix is still finding avg on my computer. Im not sure what to do now… sorry for being so tardy…

Did you reboot after uninstalling with the AVG uninstaller? If so, wait for Essexboy to respond to you as he may need to use a different tool.

If combofix still finds AVG then run a fresh OTL scan for me and I will manually remove whatever is left

I ran a fresh otl and I wasnt sure if you wanted me to do the custom scan or not so I did a custom scan and a non custom scan.

Here they are.

Ci=ould you open the logs and then save them as ANSI please as they are currently in unicode

This should be correct.

OK once this has run - then retry combofix, ensuring that it is saved to your desktop, if it fails then run from safe mode

Run OTL

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

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

Okay So I ran the fix and it produced a log I assume. So that will be the 1st attachment. The second attachment is the new quick scan log. I ran the custom one. Let me know if you want me to just do a regular scan and I will. But… after the fix, combo fix is still finding traces of avg on the computer… One tough cookie…

By the way, I really appreciate you guys for this.

The second upload is in unicode. I re saved it.

could you run AVG remover again

Then I will use a different tool to check for malware. But, let me know what your current problems are in the next post

Download avz4.zip from here

[*]Unzip it to your desktop to a folder named avz4
[*]Double click on AVZ.exe to run it.
[*]Run an update by clicking the Auto Update button on the Right of the Log window:
http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx326/perplexus13/malware/avz-update-button.png

[*]Click Start to begin the update

Note: If you recieve an error message, chose a different source, then click Start again

[*] Start AVZ.

[*] Choose from the menu “File” => "Standard scripts " and mark the "Advanced System Analysis with Malware removal mode enabled " check box.

http://perplexus.geekstogo.com/avz-standardscripts-asa-removal.png

[*] Click on the “Execute selected scripts”.
[*] Automatic scanning, healing and system check will be executed.
[*] A logfile (avz_sysinfo.htm) will be created and saved in the LOG folder in the AVZ directory as virusinfo_syscure.zip.
[] It is necessary to reboot your machine, because AVZ might disturb some program operations (like antiviruses and firewall) during the system scan.
[
] All applications will work properly after the system restart.

When restarted

[*] Start AVZ.

[*] Choose from the menu “File” => "Standard scripts " and mark the “Advanced System Analysis " check box.

http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx326/perplexus13/malware/avz-standardscripts.png

[*] Click on the “Execute selected scripts”.
[*] A system check will be automatically performed, and the created logfile (avz_sysinfo.htm) will be saved in the LOG folder in the AVZ directory as virusinfo_syscheck.zip.

Upload both virusinfo_syscure.zip and virusinfo_syscheck.zip to Mediafire and post the sharing link.

I click the link to download avz4 and I get a “404 not found” The requested resource was not found. So… I googled it and every link that i found for it gave me the same exact error message. Is it my computer???

OK that means we still have a major problem

I have uploaded a copy to my site for you - find it here http://cid-32d8666f4048075b.office.live.com/self.aspx/Malware%20files/avz4.zip

Okay cool. Again I really appreciate this. Im working on it now.
