Multiple viruses on boot scan

Viruses and worms
1

I scanned my computer for viruses and 1 was found, I was then recommended to do a boot scan, so I did. Multiple viruses were found including somoto-J and Agent.fxx. They have been quarantined.

I decided to go through the steps shown on these forums using MBAM, OTL and aswMBR. Although aswMBR consistently paused through the scan, I was able to get reports from MBAM and OTL.

Can someone with more knowledge have a look through and see if everything checks out?

Thanks.

Multiple viruses were found including somoto-J and Agent.fxx.
where they detected as PUP ? PUP = not virus / Possible Unwanted Programs (also shown in your Malwarebytes log) usually crap that comes bundled with freeware downloads avast PUP scan is default off...exept for in BootScan

Malware removers are notified and will check your logs …if they dont reply today, check back tomorrow

Somoto-J was defined as PUP but the agent.fxx one was not.

Good workman always cleans up after himself.
• The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
[i]
http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png
Remove disinfection tools

http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png
Create registry backup

http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png
Purge System Restore [/i]
Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:[b]DelFix.txt[/b])

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

• To help AntiVirus to protect your computer and speed it up, I recommend that you download, install and keep the following free programs:

  1. Keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it regularly or from time to time and run a Quick Scan weekly.
    Malwarebytes will detect and remove all traces of known malware. MBAM isn’t AntiVirus and it can NOT replace it.

  2. Keep MCShield Anti-Malware, the tool will be updated regularly and perform auto-checking for malware to each attached USB memory device.
    MCShield, has been designed as a lightweight scanner that’s smart enough to catch even new worms and work in fully automatic removal mode.

  3. It’s recommended to delete Temporary Files every once in a while. Run the tool and click on the Start button and TFC will begin to clean. Then restart the computer.
    Temp File Cleaner aka TFC by OldTimer
    TFC is small & usefull utility that shall clean up temp files from all userprofiles and system folders.

edit.

• How to protect yourself?

  1. Adjust avast! to target PUP software:
    Run avast! 2014 by clicking the system tray icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
    Click on Settings, in the new window that opens, click on Active Protection, then under File System Shield click on gear wheel…
    Under Sensitivity part of option check box for Scan for potentialy unwanted programs PUP.

  2. avast! Software Updater. Run avast!, click on Tools > Software Updater.
    For security reasons, make sure you do update your browser(s), Java, Flash Player, and basically every software you use often.

  3. avast! Browser Cleanup. Run avast!, click on Tools > BrowserCleanup.
    Browser Cleanup tool is an integrated tool in avast! AV that allows you the control on browsers unwanted addons.

  4. avast! Malware Scan. Run avast!, click on Scan and preform QuickScan by clicking on Start button.
    Every once in a whilere, it’s recommended to preform virus scan with avast! 2014.
