Obviously malware writers are getting fed up with OTS. There are some Norton and AVG remnants being removed as well. Once thsi fix has run can you let me know what problems remain

Start OTS. Copy/Paste the information in the quotebox below into the panel 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

I will review the information when it comes back in.

Fix log attached.

Avast! just popped up with:

Rootkit Found
File name: MBR \ \PHYSICALDRIVE0
Rootkit name: hidden boot sector

Should I delete now?

Run a bootscan to remove it properly

Looking at the log now

Also after the bootscan re-run aswMBR and post the log please

Weird - the previous aswMBR must have been an old report

What are your current problems ?

I ran several scans/fixes after that post yesterday and it seems to have cleaned things up. I hope. I haven’t noticed any more problems today. svchost seems to be behaving and no avast! warnings. I greatly appreciate your generous help and DavidR’s as well.

Are we done? :slight_smile: I need to leave soon for an hour or two.

No if you could run for a day or so - If you experience no further problems then Post here and I will remove my tools and tidy you up

Will do. Thanks again.

Great discussion on how to to remove a TDSS rootkit variant! Should be separately posted as such.

The problem being is that they aren’t all the same, it is the analysis need to determine what you have and need to do.

bump

I haven’t noticed any more problems.

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile: I would recommend you update to SP3

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:

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

[Empty Temp Folders]
[EmptyFlash]
[ClearAllRestorePoints]
  

Run OTS 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.

Download and run Puran Disc Defragmenter
For the first run I would recommend a boot defrag and disk check
