Hello, I think this is a nasty infection and probably has been compounded… I’m attaching the results of MBAM scan, but I was unable to run OTL or aswMBR - i keep getting a message that says “A device attached to the system is not functioning.”

I’m attaching results of MalwareBytes. I appreciate any help you have to offer.

Hmm that is not cricket stopping my tools like that

Could you rename OTL.exe to OTL.scr and run with no scan script please

Hi again, I renamed file, but still get the same message when I double click. “A device attached to the system is not functioning.”

Sorry, I was not able to get ComboFix to run either… very frustrating. I’m considering restoring to “factory settings” or reformatting the drive (if I can locate the backup disks! What so you think about either of these ideas? In any event, thanks for trying. If you have any more suggestions, however drastic, feel free to reply.

I think I know what it may be now and there is one tool that may still run and prove or deny that.
If this fails are you able to burn a CD ?
Also what is the operating system Windows XP, Vista or 7 (32 or 64Bit)
