ok heres the log. i might add that the process is coming from C:\ProgramData\CommonMediaSrc\WlanWScan.exe if that helps anything.

7

Thank you for that … This is something new

Open Avast and go to the virus chest
Right click the blank area and select add

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/open%20chest.jpg

Navigate to C:\ProgramData\CommonMediaSrc\AtiUtility.exe

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/navigate.JPG

Select the file

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/select.JPG

Right click the file in the chest and select submit to virus labs

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/add%20submit.JPG

Then repeat for :
C:\ProgramData\CommonMediaSrc\AtiRgpu.exe

Seems to be gone thanks for all you help

9

My pleasure - you have helped update the Avast data base ;D

Once you are happy it has gone let me know and I will remove my tools and tidy up

10

your good to tidy up and what not thanks

11

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

[*]Go to control panel
[*]Select folder options (Appearance > Folder options in category view)
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

[*]Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?

Keep safe :wave:

bad news its back and it makes avast freak out 10 times more.

13

ok i did some reserch its apperntly a bitcoin mining thing hidden as a system app so from there i just removed it permently and have had no side effects

14

What was the file responsible

15

yeah apprently WlanWscan.exe isent a real application the real one is WlanScan.exe i found out i was fake by opening it to find out it was a command prompt with bitcoinning garbage everywhere so i deleted it and made sure everything was gone

16

Intriguing as I took out the entire folder

[2012/06/14 00:37:08 | 000,000,000 | —D | C] – C:\ProgramData\CommonMediaSrc

Did the folder get recreated ?

17

mhmh i dont belive so

18

Mayhap there was a backup copy I did not see… Methinks that I will have to do a search next time to make sure I get all the instances… How is it now ?

19

20

Thanks for the heads up on that ;D
