Hi all, my first time using the forums. Trying to clean off my g/f’s machine and can’t get these two items to clear or quit running. I have run Avast!, Kaspersky online, SAS, MBAm, Spybot S&D, amd DR.Web Cureit!. The only thing a that is even seeing them is Avast! and quarantining them, over and over and over again. Does anyone know of a program that will clear them or how I can get Avast! to get them taken care of.
Thanks!!
Can you schedule a boot time scanning with avast? Send infected files to Chest.

I’ve run boot-time several times wit the same result. It moves them to vault but can’t repair or delete them.
When I run Avast these are the two items that I get come up that are infected.
C:\Users\Heather\Documents\Downloads\OOo3.2.0winx86install-wJRE_en-US.excel|>$INSTDIR\oppenofficeorg1.cab|>sal3.dll Error 42127 {CAB archive is corrupted.}
C:\windows\assembly\tmp\u\00000002.@|>[Embedded_r#00290] is infected by win32:malware-gen
No problems with this one. Just a non-standard package.
Seems a temporary file (?) that could be deleted.
It is a possible zero access or conserv infection based on this but C:\windows\assembly\tmp\u\00000002 I will need to check first before I can decide the approach to take
Once you have run and attached the scans we will go from there

Thanks for the replies. I will not be able to run and get the logs till this evening. Which programs should I run and post logs from??
Thanks again for the replies!!
These ones initially
Download OTL to your Desktop
[*]Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
[*]Select All Users
[*]Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
netsvcs
%SYSTEMDRIVE%*.exe
/md5start
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
/md5stop
C:\Windows\assembly\tmp\U /s
CREATERESTOREPOINT
[*]Click the Quick 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
THEN
Download aswMBR.exe ( 1.8mb ) to your desktop.
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it Click the “Scan” button to start scan

No problem, unfortunately a game of time zone ping pong ensues. However now you have posted the logs it will give essexboy something to work with and post the fix, which you can pick up when you get on-line.
OK you have what could be the conserv.dll infection so I will need to go straight on to a stronger tool. Once combofix has completed the run could you do a further OTL scan so that I can clear any remnants
Download and Install Combofix
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
- IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
Notes:
- Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
- Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Have run combofix and at the finish it has gotten to the reboot screen and has been sitting at the “please wait” screen for an hour. Should I do a manual restart??
Yes reboot and look for a log file - it will either open on reboot or be located at C:\combofix.txt

Got it finished and seems to be running ok. No Avast popups yet as I’m online with the machine and writing this. Here’s the log file and let me know if there is anything further I need to do.
Thanks for your help Essexboy!!
Yep 'twas the conserv, could you now run OTL so that I can see if there are any remnants
