Hi Wellan,

Before we go further, lets run this tool here:
part 1 of a malware routine using RemoveVideoActiveXObject. exe
Download from: http://home.hetnet.nl/~stefsmeenk/RVAXO.exe
Save the file unto your Desktop, then you may double click it.
You can unpack the programme to your Desktop.
Now open the folder RVAXO on your Desktop and double click RVAXO.cmd
A window will open, quickly some lines will roll over the screen, this is normal procedure.
Possibly an uninstaller of a rogue scanner will start, do not close and follow instructions that pop up,
and let it run.
Then your PC will restart, after restart a window will open RVAXO again.
Let it run and wait until a logfile is being opened.
This can be found up as: C:\RVAXO-results.log
Post the contents in your next posting together with a fresh HijackThis log
. ( after using the next tools)

In case your PC does not restart?
Let RVAXO run once more and then post a new logfile: C:\rvaxo-results.log

Please download DrWeb-CureIt from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=4783&file=10&evp=ef9669e4f16e6e75d95abcde8f88163d
& save it to your desktop. DO NOT perform a scan yet.

You should copy/print the following because you need to be in Safe Mode from here on.

Reboot your computer into SAFE MODE" using the F8 method.
To do this,restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly.
A menu will appear with several options.

  • Double-click on drweb-cureit.exe to start the program. An “Express Scan of your PC” notice will appear.
  • Under “Start the Express Scan Now”, Click “OK” to start. This is a short scan that will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the Yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it.
  • Once the short scan has finished, Click Options > Change settings
  • Choose the “Scan tab” and UNcheck “Heuristic analysis”
  • Back at the main window, click “Select drives” (a red dot will show which drives have been chosen)
  • Then click the “Start/Stop Scanning” button (green arrow on the right) and the scan will start.
  • When done, a message will be displayed at the bottom advising if any viruses were found.
  • Click “Yes to all” if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
  • When the scan has finished, look if you can see the icon next to the files found. If so, click it, then click the next icon right below and select “Move incurable”.
    (This will move it to the C:\Documents and Settings\userprofile\DoctorWeb\Quarantine folder if it can’t be cured)
  • Next, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list.
  • Save the DrWeb.csv report to your desktop.
  • Exit Dr.Web Cureit when done.
  • Important! Reboot your computer because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
  • After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web in your next reply. (You can use Notepad to open the DrWeb.cvs report) and attach this to your next posting. Or post it as a txt report.
