Awhile ago I got infected by first the Zero-Access root-kit and although I believe I successfully removed that infection it managed to initiate a lot of downloads before I got rid of it and I then got hit by a Win32:Sirefef root-kit. I scrubbed the computer with various anti-root-kits and anti-malware applications and I thought I was in the all clear. Recently however my computer has been ‘hanging’ as well as my mouse pointer changing to a weird yellow and pink color or hanging on the updown arrow that you get when trying to readjust a window and after running the same tools again I have found that I am still infected.
I’m not sure where to go from here so I thought I’d seek out assistance. I’m willing to attach any logs needed and download any tools necessary.
I’m running a full MBAM scan as we speak and I’ll attach the log after it’s finished, when I get back from work.
Computer seems to only hang when I’m using the mouse and the computer sometimes emits a beep that sounds like the kind of beep you hear when Windows Action Center asks if you want to do something. When it hangs though the whole computer hangs including the keyboard, not just the mouse. Upon opening some applications the screen temporarily goes black.
