Hello,
I am a newbie to this forum, so please forgive my ignorance. It looks like I have to start a new thread because this infection is very specific to each computer. My laptop is infected with the Anythicago virus and I keep getting messages that Avast has blocked the infection, but it still appears to be on my computer. I don’t even know how I got the virus. I use Avast and Malawarebytes, but neither seems to be able to remove the infection. Any help would be appreciated.
Monitoring
Here are the results of Malawarebytes and FRST scan. Still scanning with AswMBR and will upload those asap.
Here are results from the aswMBR scan.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:
Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!
[*]Right-click on

icon and select
https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/home/hosted-images-tools/RunAsAdmin.jpg
Run as Administrator to start the tool.
(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
[*]Press the Fix button just once and wait.
[*]If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
[*]When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.
Hello,
I have run the scan twice and get the same message: “No fixlist.txt found.” The scan and the addition files both saved to the desktop, but apparently a fixlog file was not created. I sent over the scan and addition log files last night. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Is FRST on desktop as shortcut or as .exe file?
It is an exe file. I saved it to the desktop when I downloaded. Both of the other scan files saved directly to the desktop.
Then you’re doing something wrong.
Is fixlist.txt named exactly fixlist
Create a new folder.
Put FRST.exe (or FRST64.exe if you have a 64 bit system) in the folder.
Put fixlist.txt in the same folder.
Run FRST.exe and select fix.
Ok, I placed it in a separate folder and ran the scan again. These are the scan results the program provided. Still no file called “fixlist.txt” I have attached both files the program gave me. I have searched the drive and found nothing by that name. Sorry to be a bother, but I don’t see what we are looking for.
Should I try re-downloading FRST?
Did you downloaded the fixlist.txt that TwinHeadEagle created for you ?
See reply #5
And that was the step I missed. Thanks for being patient with a noob! Please see attachment.
We charge noob double prices.
So that will cost you…
Let see…
Double is 2 right ?
Ok, that wil make it 2 x $0 = $0 ;D
Haha! At least the price is right. Let me know if I need to provide anything else to you. Thanks!
How is the system behaving now ?
Is the problem gone ?
If not run Farbar again and attach the new logs to your next post please.
How is PC behaving now?
It is doing very well now. I have restarted it a couple of times and I haven’t received any warnings since I ran your fix. I’ll keep an eye on it and let you know if it changes. Thanks a lot for your help!
