Apparently, I’m not the only one affected by this malware; paspartux.com/x/, crossmatchx.com/x/,85.195.92.11. I downloaded and ran the programs that were suggested in the help forum but to no avail. I have results from programs not sure about attaching now or wait for instructions. Still have pop-ups, at a lost!
you hav to attach the logs…if not the malware remover can not create a fix
Running the programs as advised in this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 is only the first stage as they are primarily for analysis gathering; the logs you are asked to attach so that malware removal specialists can analyse them and compile a fix and any other actions required.
Having run the tools suggested in that topic, now attach the logs of the scans you have run.
When you use the Reply button, just below the text input window you will see ‘Attachments and other Options,’ clicking that allows you to attach up to 4 files (max total of 194KB or a single file not exceeding 200KB).
here’s what I have, thank you in advanced
A malware removal specialist has been informed of your topic.
if you got it…also attach aswMBR log
it seems you have avast and McAfee installed?
never install multiple AV as this will slow down your comp, give mysterious errors and false positive detections
uninstall one…then run the vendors removal tool to clear any leftover files that may conflict
you find it here. http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/
I see that you have combofix on your system, have you run it yet ?
Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems
Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

- If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.
Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now
As I am writing those pop-ups are revealing themselves. Enclosed attachments from yesterday and today. You mentioned to delete one or other anti-virus, confused McAfee is just firewall and avast anti-virus? Will run ComboFix after this reply because it wipes out reports from OTL.
I did run ComboFix yesterday, I saw a statement saying that “RootKit with zero access was embeded in TCP-IP”. I did a seach on rootkit; there was 96 RootKit Revealer, 46 were Compiled HTML Help dated 12/7/2005 3:19pm, the other 46 were Application dated 11/1/2006 2:07pm; all were located in folder FireFox 3.5.5/SysinternalsSuite.Zip and that was what the folder was a downloaded zip file. I deleted file but to no avail. I’m hoping this could be a lead for you.
Yes if you could re-run Combofix it will then show me any additional files to replace or remove
Hi! Their back, as soon as I closed combofix. Enclosed is report. Just now recieved from avast: Suspicious files found, please allow the files to be submitted to our virus lab for analysis, then it gives further info ??\C:\DOCUME~\Ron\LOCALS~1\Temp\catchme.sys, then Actions to take Ignore or Delete, then OKIt says it’s using a heuristic method. Is hitting the OK going to submit the files because there’s nothing else and the actions to take is that pertaining to me, ignore or delete? Well I hit delete and ok. Now where was I
Catchme is a false positive so that can be ignored. Could you screenshot the Avast popups please

Appreciate your help and patience; looks like those bad boys found a new home with no chance for parole.
Again, thank you essexboy!
OK lets remove them from jail to the nether reaches of hell ;D
Subject to no further problems 
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 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Remove ComboFix
[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall
(Notice the space between the “x” and “/”)
then click OK
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee362/Essexboy3/Misc%20screen%20shots/CF_Uninstall-1.jpg
[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled
Run OTL 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.
