Hi. I’d appreciate it if you could help me with a malware that is creating shortcuts on my usb. The shortcuts are from System32. On the internet I only found some hints how to remove the virus from the usb but I would like to get it out of my laptop too. I am running windows 7 ultimate. Please help and thank you
attach Malwarebytes and OTL logs. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
There you go.
Note: In the otl program the option “Include 64bit scans” did not appear. I followed the rest of the instructions.

I’m looking at posted logs …be right back …

memory cards (SD cards, Sony Memory Stick, MultiMedia Cards etc.), some mobile phones, some GPS navigation devices etc.

magna86 will be back and remove the tools used when all is ok…
Ok emilica, this looks clean. As malware is removed, would you please tell me how is the computer behavior now?
The computer seems to be running faster now that’s for sure… And when I copy documents on the usb it doesn’t appear as a shortcut anymore. Thank you very much for all the help, I appreciate it (especially since I am not really good with computers I know that your work is difficult). Which of the programs I have installed I remove and how (control panel, just delete)?
Hi and Yes, we will remove the tools using anather one named as DelFix.
• 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;

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.
Just a notice before I start using the last program: when I checked the processes in Task Manager I noticed 2 rundll32.exe running each with different memory occupation. Should I be concerned with it?
i dont think that is a problem… magna will be back an tell you
MCshield program you keep, it will protect you from USB infections
