WIN32:Dropper-gen [Drp]

I made a mistake in opening an old favorite in Windows IE when trying to clean it up. It was a porn site which I do not go to any anymore and don’t really use IE either. So after doing this I did a AVAST Bootscan and got this little bugger. AVAST would not let me Delete, Move to Chest or Repair, so I choose Ignore and continued the scan.

I looked at the Scan Logs and it showed it and said:
Severity: High
Action: Delete.
Result: Action successful.

I re-scaned and it was still there.
Dam I was doing so well. I don’t have any money because I am very ill so any help will be greatly appreciated. I really depend on my computer to keep me pre-occupied and some entertainment.

run AdwCleaner / Malwarebytes / OTL and attach logs

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

What does OTL mean?

Also do I turn off avast while doing scans?

  1. OldTimer ListIt
  2. Nope.

O crap, what does OldTimer ListIt mean?

Just follow the instructions. :wink:

OTL will produce a list of running files/drivers/services … Start registry keys and other known malware launch points

Here are some logs:

OK attach the OTL log as it will be big

for your info. :wink: http://www.geekstogo.com/1888/

Thanks guys, also can I go to my content somehow so I don’t have to search for my thread, I have not figured it out yet.
Also I am going home for a while so I will get back with ya later.

when you log in… on top of the page… Profile > summary > show posts …on left side under your avatar

What is the file that Avast is reporting ?

C:.…>FILE0005.DOFFFB8D_996E_4

And thanks for the info. to find my content, figured it out when I logged in.

Also guys, can’t I just try to use a Restore Point? I forgot to try this as my brain is not working well lol. I am sure that a lot of these viruses can’t be fixed like this but this is a tool a friend of mine uses all the time. Should I try this before we proceed?

Also, Malwarebytes is running on my computer, should I let it run?

restore points may disable virus that run, but does not remove … the bad guys dont make it that easy

what do you mean by Malwarebytes is running?

What is the full path i.e. the bit that is indicated by the dots as that may be a detection in system restore

Well it was running and said tha I had a ten day trial period but now it is not running so no worries.

Okay, I got one thing wrong, or maybe two. The second backslash should have been a straight line. The DO should be a D0 as in zero I am guessing, I did not know it made a difference. This is what I am seeing in the avast scan logs.

C:.…|>FILE0005.D0FFFB8D_996E_

This is the correct file, sorry for the confusion. And I really appreciate this, I have not worked in a long time but if I do get back to work or come into some money I will surely send you some. I have your names written down.

Try this and let me know it stops the alert

Run OTL

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

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/OTL_Fix.GIF



:Commands
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS] 
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[Reboot]

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

Okay I’ll do that, but to be clear it was not an alert it was detected after doing a avast bootscan. Or maybe it was an alert if that’s what an alert means. I don’t know the terminology as you can see.
