Sirefef.A virus Auto shutdown please help

Viruses and worms
1

I’ve tried every way I can think of to keep my computer from automatically restarting to give my anti virus (MSE) time to remove the Sirefef.A virus but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2

follow this guide and attach (not copy and paste) Malwarebytes / OTL / aswMBR logs
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

3

OTL will run for about two minutes and then stops responding.

I attached the Malwarebytes log

4

So two things: I have to end the process for MSE to keep the auto shutdown message from popping up.

Also, OTL stops responding when it gets to firefox settings.

5

Here is the aswMBR log:

6

Uninstalled firefox and got the OTL logs

7

Extras

8

Should I continue to try and remove as much as I can with these tools (OTL etc) or wait for a response to the logs I submitted?

I’m hesitant to remove anything else or run other things as it would differ the logs from how I submitted them.

9

you can not remove anything with OTL untill the removal expert have created the OTL fix …and to do that you need to know what you are doing

malware removers are notified: It may take hours before one arrive so be patient

10

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL

[*]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

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
[*]Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/NSIS_extraction.png

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

FINALLY

Download AdwCleaner from here to your desktop
Run AdwCleaner and select Delete

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/AdwCleaner.GIF

Once done it will ask to reboot, allow this
On reboot a log will be produced please attach that

11

I attached the OTL log after it applied the fix. I will post the combo fix log after it’s finished.

12

Here is the comboFix log:

13

And finally the last log:

14

Well I really, really appreciate the help. You guys are awesome.

I have one question though:

I’m going to keep Malwarebytes PRO but it seems that Microsoft Security Essentials wasn’t enough. What anti-malware and virus protection do you guys reccommend?

15

Bit more to kill

  1. Close any open browsers.
  2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
File:: c:\windows\system32\services.exe.8320158123F88379 c:\windows\system32\services.exe.232F8A6919273E4C
Save this as [b]CFScript.txt[/b], in the same location as ComboFix.exe

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exeWhen finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.
16

When I dropped the file on the comboFix exe it froze up my computer. It’s just sitting there, will wait for further instructions.

17

OK stop combofix and reboot please

18

I cannot open task manager, should I just reboot? I’m typing from a laptop, not the desktop that’s infected.

19

Does control-alt-delete work ?

20

No, all I have is the spinning icon for a mouse, cannot click on anything or use ctrl alt del.
