Tools

Hey, recently I found out that one of my friends computers is currently heavily infected w/ Adware, spyware, Trjans etc. The chances of me being able to have MBAM successful run are slim to none. I’ve got the Chameleon version ready same with MBAR (Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit). Is their a portable version of OTL that I can run without something stopping it? Same with Adwcleaner. I’ll run through the computer tomorrow (Hopefully) to see what minor stuff I can remove. It also sounds like a very Alpha version of Ransomware may be on the computer as well. (Locked but no demand for payment, same as it’s killable via Task Manager).

So a recap

Portable versions of Adwcleaner and OTL. Maybe DDS if someone requires it.

Thanks!

You could use a bootable rescue disk like Kaspersky Rescue Disk if possible. :wink:

hmmm. I’l check that option out

Then you can also copy the Files from the PC to another USB Stick so they are safe i think.

alan … i would wait for Essecboys advice before i did anything

Hi Alan, you could run FRST from safe mode, I will then kill the bad stuff enabling normal mode cleaning

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

[*]Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Press Scan button.
[*]It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
[*]Please copy and paste log back here.
[*]The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.

I’ll run it when I get the computer.

No computer. Her Backpack was full of textbooks. Hopefully tomorrow. The scans might take a while even so. Just pray it’s turned on when I get it lol

;D no problem
