Threat sucured message ictkjkmd.top connection aborted

system · 2017-11-07T18:54:39.000Z

When I tried to upload the file to www.virustotal.com, I get an access denied message. I’ve scanned the drive and the specific folder already with both Malwarebytes and Avast and neither reports any problems. So it seems like the problem has to do with using my web browser. I’ll probably try doing a system restore from a couple of days ago and see whether that gets rid of the folder.

Follow step 2 in the instructions i gave link to
attach the two diagnostic logs from FRST and a expert will have a look

I’m in the process of running a Malwarebytes scan with the root kits option enables as suggested; however, I got another Avast message saying that wirlhpx.exe had been quarantined. It may be that the problem is solved. Is it reasonable to assume the threat is neutralized? I’ve also noticed that I am unable to run system restore, even from a newly created system repair disc. When I tried to I got a message saying that there were no restore points. Ay Yi Yi.

Read my post above again

OK, I’m running FRST64.exe. I’ll post the logs as soon as it is done.

What is system status now?

system · 2017-11-07T22:34:20.000Z

I haven’t seen the original message for awhile. System Restore will still not launch either from the Windows menu, Run command or from command prompt.

SassDrake · 2017-11-07T22:37:14.000Z

Do you get any error message?

system · 2017-11-07T22:43:06.000Z

No, nothing happens at all. I even tried creating a new restore point earlier. It said it created successfully, but still no dice.

You may want to look at the following:

I downloaded and installed and it shows the restore point I created before. I assume that there should be others. Is it possible that the malware deleted them? Can you tell whether the original problem has been removed?

It is quite possible but Sass Drake would be the expert to confirm that.

system · 2017-11-07T23:12:03.000Z

OK, I’ll assume so for now. Thanks very much for all of your help!

bob3160 · 2017-11-07T23:21:31.000Z

You’re welcome.

Malware you had should not be reason why System Restore Apllication won’t open. Follow these instructions and tell us results.
