System 32 Virus. Please help, i'm in despair

system · 2015-06-11T09:57:54.000Z

Hi there.
New user here as well.
My problem is that every usv device that I insert on my PC, is presented as a shortcut, on which the path stated is “system32”. I have used the steps as noted on another post and i would like some help. I have attached the .txt files after the use of the following programs:

ADWCleaner
Gmer
FRST.txt (2 .txt files)

Hi I am not sure if this is malware or a system error

Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/mcshield%20unhide.JPG

Plug in the drive and McShield will start a scan

Then get the log which will be located under the logs tab on the main page

And post that

THEN

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

CreateRestorePoint: Startup: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Start Menu\Προγράμματα\Εκκίνηση\i.lnk [2015-06-09] ShortcutTarget: i.lnk -> C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\obhfdbzxud.exe (No File) Reg: reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\IPSec\Policy\Local /f Reg: reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\IPSec\Policy\Local /f RemoveProxy: EmptyTemp: CMD: bitsadmin /reset /allusers

Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

On completion a log will be generated please post that

First of all, thanks for the fast reply.

So, here are the .txt files you said to post.

What’s next?

Could you try a USB now and see if the shortcut is correct

Malware was found. I deleted the file suggested by MCShield. No stortcut this time, which is good enough by itself, but the pdf file i had in my usb device was a folder?!? with no name at all. When i opened that folder the .pdf appeared as usual. But due to the appearance of the folder thing, i suspect that not everything is quite good yet. Any suggestions? What should i do when I insert usb devices (My job is about printing documents etc. so everyday I insert all kind of devices on my PC)

Don’t mind my last post. Everything runs smoothly. I just inserted an already infected device.

I can’t really describe, how gratefull I am.
Thank you so much. You really saved me today!!!

Keep MCShield as you use USB’s a lot, this will save you some grief

Any further problems ?

system · 2015-06-11T11:41:04.000Z

Nope, that was all my friend.

“Thank you” is such a poor expression to say how grateful I am, but THANK YOU nevertheless.
