Hi
Looks like that virus has destroyed the Java plugin. You can download the new Java plugin from the SUN WEBSITE.
Recreate windows messenger through add/remove programs / windows components /tick windows messenger and re install if that fails do a thorough scan with avast with archives ticked on boot time scan and move all to chest
[font=Segoe UI] Hi ladygaga345 and welcome to the forums,
Sad to say, Sality is a file infector and it would be hard t recover files it damages. All I could offer for now is to remove all those that are suspicious.
Step 1: Windows Disk Cleanup Utility ============
1 Press Windows Key + R
2 Type in: cleanmgr
3 Put a check beside: Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files. Optionally, you may check other options too
4 Click OK
Step 2: avast! Boot Time Scan ============
1 Double click avast! antivirus desktop icon and wait for memory test to complete
2 avast GUI will appear. Right click anywhere on avast!'s window and select Schedule Boot Time Scan…
3 Click Advanced options and select Move infected file to Chest on the first dropdown list and leave the other one as it was. Click Schedule
4 You will be asked for a system restart. Click Yes to do it now or No to let avast wait for you to manually restart your PC
NOTE: Optionally, you may enable scanning of archive files. If it is enabled, scanning would be more thorough but would take more time
1 Download Malwarebyes’ Antimalware here
2 Proceed to installing MBAM after downloading
3 On the last dialog box, do not forget to leave Update Malwarebytes’ Antimalware and Run Malwarebytes’ Antimalware checked
4 Malwabytes’ Antimalware GUI would appear, from there select Perform Quick Scan and click Scan
5 When scan is completed, click Show Results
6 Click Remove Selected and then, a notepad file will appear.
7 On the notepad window, click File > Save As and save it on your desktop. You may now close MBAM.
Step 4: Hijack This (HJT) ============
1 Download Trend Micro Hijack This here
2 Install HJT in C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis (the location is already displayed by default). Click Install
3 HJT Window will appear. Click Do a system scan and save a logfile. A notepad file will pop-up once the scan is completed
5 Click on the Notepad window and click File > Save As and save the file on your desktop
6 Go back here on your topic and start a reply. On the Reply window, click Additional Options
7 Attach the two .txt files that we created and saved on your desktop (click more attachments to have more slots for attaching files)
NOTE: Do not have HJT fix anything yet.
Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
Scan saved at 3:20:42 PM, on 11/7/2009
Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.6001.18702)
Boot mode: Normal
An analysis of your HJT log shows the following problems :
O9 - Extra button: Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe (file missing) O9 - Extra ‘Tools’ menuitem: Windows Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe (file missing)
The above 2 entries show that the file is missing for Windows Messenger.
may be brothers you dont know that sality dont go by the great mbam or hijack this,it needs an anti virus can detect it like avast and av can repair avast unlike avast so try dr.web cure it.
until now i repair a lot of systems that have sality and dr.web cure it success in repair them very good
may be you dont got its real f***ing things of sality i can ensure you your pc still infected and when sality enter can and will infect a lot of .exe files on your system and you say you delete them so happy new format. ;D
After you done it, I could say, you got rid of some of the nasties, yet the real ones are sure to be left intact. I suggest you to backup those you are sure to be clean in a freshly formatted USB Flash Disk and start over, in other words, reformat. Sality is a file and infector, a really persistent files infector.
So, for the Windows Messenger, consider using the bundled Messenger on XP’s installation CD after the reformat. I’m sorry but I could be of no better help.
NOTES:
[font=Segoe UI]
[] Before backing up a file, make sure that it is not infected. Consider scanning it with avast! and MBAM, and if possible, consider checking it in VirusTotal.
[] DO NOT backup any executable files (softwares) and screensavers (.scr) or any web pages (.html or *.htm). It attempts to infect any accessed .exe or .scr or .html/.htm files by appending itself to the executable. Also, try to avoid backing up compressed files (zip/cab/rar) files that have .exe or .scr files inside them. Sality can penetrate and infect .exe files inside compressed files too.
