It seems that thanks to you and Chabbo I got to reinstall avast and get rid of the problem, so far it seems good…
Should I delete the virus from quarantine now?
Do you advise to upgrade to malwarebytes profesional, what’s the difference?

Hi just a few bits to kill

Run OTL

[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:OTL
IE - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings: "ProxyServer" = http=127.0.0.1:5555
[2010/05/16 09:35:36 | 000,000,000 | ---D | C] -- C:\Users\Helena Guerrero\AppData\Local\mhfpanjmg
[2010/05/16 16:19:17 | 000,000,000 | ---D | M] -- C:\Users\Helena Guerrero\AppData\Roaming\IObit

:Commands
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[resethosts]
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

THEN

Go to Control Panel and select Internet Options
Select the Connections TAB
Select LAN settings button
Ensure there is no tick in the Proxy Server box
Select OK and restart Internet explorer

And for Firefox there are instructions on this page and you want the setting to be no proxy

thanks Essexboy!
Just one question. After I run that OTL log I posted I did a full scan with avast, it found a virus in that same folder
C:\Users\Helena Guerrero\AppData\Local\mhfpanjmg\mjnagrptssd.exe
Win32:Crypt-GKR (Drp)
So that folder is now in the chest.
Do you recomend to run a boot scan after i run the OTL again, should i change something or just do as you advice regardless of the file being in the chest?
Thanks

Intriguing OTL should have removed that folder - ah just reread you did the scan before running the OTL fix ?

Lets now see what MBAM reveals, on completion can you let me now what problems remain

Hi !
yesterday morning I did the
1- Malaware scan,
2 - I did the OTL which is the log you saw.
I reinstalled Avast! finally…
3 - I did another Malaware scan with no infections found.
4 - I did an Avast full scan and found the file:C:\Users\Helena Guerrero\AppData\Local\mhfpanjmg\mjnagrptssd.exe
Win32:Crypt-GKR (Drp), (for some reason it did not appear in the Malaware scan)
So that folder is now in the chest.
I read your suggestion this morning, but that file is already on the chest.
Should i proceed with your advice (below) as it is knowing that the folder is in the chest already or should I change something before rerunning OTL? And should I schedule a boot scan when rebooting? thanks!

Run OTL

•Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

Code:
:OTL
IE - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings: “ProxyServer” = http=127.0.0.1:5555
[2010/05/16 09:35:36 | 000,000,000 | —D | C] – C:\Users\Helena Guerrero\AppData\Local\mhfpanjmg
[2010/05/16 16:19:17 | 000,000,000 | —D | M] – C:\Users\Helena Guerrero\AppData\Roaming\IObit

:Commands
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[resethosts]
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[Reboot]

Run OTL with the script and let us see what it says

ok1
i run the Custom Scan and this came up in notepad:
All processes killed
Error: Unable to interpret <[emptytemp]> in the current context!
Error: Unable to interpret <[EMPTYFLASH]> in the current context!
Error: Unable to interpret <[Reboot]> in the current context!

OTL by OldTimer - Version 3.2.4.1 log created on 05202010_142048

Files\Folders moved on Reboot…

Registry entries deleted on Reboot…

2- I did the fix scan and here are the results.

3 - i went to internet options LAN settings and everything is unchecked there ( I unchecked that 3 days ago because the proxy where checked and i could no use my browser, after I unchecked it my IE work), so I did not restart the computer again, do I need to do it anyway? Should automatically detect settings be checked?

so I did not restart the computer again, do I need to do it anyway? Should automatically detect settings be checked?
No and yes ;D just a restart of IE will set the settings

What problems do you have now ?

Thank you so much for your help and time…
I run an avast scan and everything seems fine and clean. ;D
The LAN settings window has still everything unchecked, even the “automatically detect settings” option. should that remain unchecked?
Thanks again!

Check the automatically detect option

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:

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. MBAM can be uninstalled via control panel add/remove

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.

Hi:
I did all you recomended till the Flush Flash, I tried but when I checked :-\ “everything” this warning came up:

No Flash Player folder present!
I thougth I had Flash Player…

So I don’t know, should I make a different choice :-[
UPDATE: I do have Adobe Flash Player 10, I’m just watching French Open on ESPN3…but it’s stalling once in a while…
Why does Flush Flash don’t find it?

Good question - I will ask the Author ;D
