What problems are you experiencing ?

Start OTS. Copy/Paste the information in the quotebox below into the pane where it says “Paste fix here” and then click the Run Fix button.

The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup telling you that it is finished. Click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix. Post that information back here along with a new OTS log.

I will review the information when it comes back in.

Also let me know of any problems you encountered performing the steps above or any continuing problems you are still having with the computer.

Hi, essexboy…
The problems that I’ve been having are continuous (every 3-5 mins) Avast warnings stating this information
File Name: C:\Windows\Temp\dpyt.tmp\svchost.exe
Malware Name: Win32:Zbot-MOU [Trj]
Malware type: Trojan Horse

the .tmp file name changes every time.

I also have, while on the internet (firefox), new tabs opening which are directed to several different websites, some of which are blocked by Avasts network shield… the others I close as soon as I see them. (can’t remember the websites but one regular domain name is called omega253 or something along those lines)

The log for the fix is as follows:

Magixz - Thanks again for your time & effort.
PS. Sorry for late reply.

Did you set some proxies in firefox ?

I don’t think so, current connection settings in firefox are set to “No Proxy”.

Hi essexboy,
Just thanking you for your help as the virus has not been alerted today and I restarted a while ago just to make sure it wasnt a one off. Thanks for your time and effort, much appreciated.

Hi again essexboy, sorry to bring this thread to your attention again… Although the virus warning has gone I still have tabs opening every so often directing me to websites. If there an easy way to solve this?

Thanks again.

Time to get the bigger boy on the job

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Ok, the redirection thiing isnt happening often at all at the moment so i can deal with that but I just got another warning. Same as last time. I tried running that fix as instructed before which tells me the exact same log as last time. I’m just about to restart. I’m guessing we havent fully removed it?

Update: Back in full force, every 3-5 mins.
