Except I haven’t been successful in removing the infection/rootkit or fixing Avast.
I ran Farbar Recovery Scan Tool just now so…
I’ve attached FRST.txt and Addition.txt – are there any other logs you will need to help me get fixed like Chris?
Of course, I was merely asking. I’ve ran precisely what was provided nothing more. Apologies if it seemed like I was disregarding anyone’s help, I am appreciative of it.
My system has now rebooted with Avast running so I’m using the opportunity to update it. Anything else I need to do?
Furthermore, from the Fixlog.txt attached in the previous post should I be concerned about:
C:\Users\Speirs\AppData\Local\Temp\FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
========= RD /S /Q %TEMP% =========
C:\Users\Speirs\AppData\Local\Temp\FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
========= End of CMD: =========
No, to my knowledge that’s a .cmd file I wrote to launch an ArmA 2 mod “DayZ Origins”.
Computer Hacking: Peer-to-Peer networks also have been abused by hackers. Because these systems potentially expose your computer and files to millions of other users on the network, they also expose your computer to worms and viruses. In fact, some worms have been specifically written to spread by popular Peer-to-Peer networks. Also, if Peer-to-Peer software is not properly configured, you may be unknowingly opening up the contents of your entire hard drive for others to see and download your private information
Thanks to that Fixlist both MBAM and Avast are working and I’m running quick scans as we speak… in the event that a rootkit has caused this - what would be my next course of action be as I don’t think Avast is very good at scanning for rootkits.
[*]Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
[*]When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
[*]Attach both logs
I re-ran OTL and this time a CMD window popped up something about S A:L /C so I closed it and OTL resumed per normal should I’ve left it running? Regardless I’ve attached the missing Extras.txt alongside the new OTL.txt. Also, I’ve double checked both times I had the netsvcs part of the custom scan entered into the bottom box in OTL but both times it’s mysteriously missing after the scan has completed? Not sure if that’s something to just ignore though…?
No further problems, thank you for your assistance in resolving my issue. One thing, from the original FRST.txt should anything be done about the HKU\S-1-5-21-1206204329-845824297-1454209633-1000.…\MountPoints2: {9c82ee7f-0c0d-11e1-9480-7071bc139e84} - E:\autorun.exe thing that popped up?
