Malicious URL Blocked Spam.

I’ve researched it, done what I can to try and fix this and its not getting any better. So I’m coming to you guys to see what you can do. I’ve had MBAM on my computer for over a year now and run it nearly every week but right when my subscription to Avast was about to run out is when this infection occurred. And it’s not going away.

Attached are logs of a full scan with MBAM and a scan from both aswMBR and OTL.

malware removers are notified. it may take several hours before one arrive so be patient

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top.

Step2

Download ComboFix from here and save it to your Desktop.

Attach log reports ( ComboFix.txt) back to topic.

I’ve tried running OTL a couple of times as you stated and eventually it gets an “OTL.exe error” and both times I go to re-run the program, rather than opening it gives me this message:

Files\Folders moved on Reboot…
File move failed. C:\Users\Jason\AppData\Local\Temp\FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt scheduled to be moved on reboot.
File\Folder C:\Windows\temp\flaB2DA.tmp not found!

File C:\Windows\temp\flaB2DA.tmp not found!

Registry entries deleted on Reboot…

Alright, got it to work that time. Here’s the log.

Im waiting for Combofix’s report.

Yeah sorry, I keep trying to work out Combofix. It keeps completing up to Stage 4 but then enters the blue screen of death and restarts my computer. I can’t seem to complete it.

Ok, no problem. Delete Combofix and download fresh one. Try tu run Combofix in safe mode.
If you fail to run it, just let me know. :wink:

Alright, got it for ya now. Though I can’t open up Mozilla Firefox (which is my main browser) now for some odd reason. Says “Illegal operation attempted on a registry key thats been marked for deletion.”

Nevermind that last statement. I got it to work, I use Rocketdock for a sidebar and that’s what was messing up, not Firefox.

Only what you need to do is just restart your computer once more. :smiley:

Close all browser windows and refering to the picture above.

Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
ComboFix will will re-run. When finished, it will produce a log for you.
Attach the contents of the log in your next reply. (typical location: C:[b]ComboFix.txt[/b] )

Well here’s the TDSS log, but Combofix didn’t supply me with one. Everything went fine, it rebooted and when it produced a log it was completely empty with a message saying it couldn’t find some file and asking me I would like to make a new one. Though this log I found seems to be different from the other one so I’m assuming it just misplaced something.

Hm…Combofix dont shows some errors. But it shows some malware activity.

[*]Re-run TDSSKiller.exe and click on Change parametres.
[*]Under Additional options check the boxes next to Verify Driver Digital Signature and Detect TDLFS file system, then click OK
[*]Click on Start Scan.
[*]If an infected file is detected, the default action will be Cure, click on
[*]If a suspicious file is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
[*]It may ask you to reboot the computer to complete the process. Click on Reboot Now.
[*]Click the Report button and copy/paste the contents of it into your next reply
Note:It will also create a log in the [b]C:[/b] directory.


Step2

[*]Download AdwCleaner (by Xplode) on your desktop.

[*]Launch it, click on [Search] and wait for the scan.
[*]When the scan ends, a report appears.

Note : This report is also saved to C:\AdwCleaner[R1].txt
Attach here that report.

Well the major infection of my problems is cured. No more pop-ups at all and I can actually close my laptop into sleep mode and reopen it without it coming to an error screen. But I’m gonna stick with you to get a full clean going, taking no risks.

Just litle more…
We must be sure that this malware will not back.

Re-run TDSSKiller as you did before ( with changed parametres ) and use Delete options for this one:

\Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System )


[*] Re-run AdwCleaner
[*] Click on the [Delete] Wait for the programme ends.
The program will close all active programs and out the window with the warning. Click OK to confirm.
On the next two windows that open ( Informations and Restart required ) click OK

[] The computer will restart.
[
] Will open a notepad with the report.
[*] Copy the contents of that report in the subject.

Note: The report will also be stored on C:\AdwCleaner[S1].txt


Re-run Combofix and attach here fresh Combofix.txt log.

Alright, here ya go.

No more malware. :slight_smile: Your system is clean.

It is necessary to uninstall the ComboFix :

[*] Click Start (or
