worm?

Hi, On my other computer…It has some kind of worm it pops up an error message, countdown Avast! disabled…
I do not know how I got infected :smiley:


Please download HijackThis from the link below, run the program but do not make any fixes, and then post the log results in this thread using the “copy & paste” method. It will probably take more than one post to be able to get the complete log posted. Someone will review your log and then offer help.

I suggest:

  1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
  2. Clean your temporary files.
  3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
  4. Use SUPERantispyware and/or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
  5. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest AVG or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.
  6. Like Charley asked, make a HijackThis log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner log to to on-line analysis.
  7. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster or Windows Advanced Care.
  8. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector.

Okay, thanks the malware already disabled my security tho shrugs whatever that thing is, it’s scary.

Well then run combofix and we’ll see what turns up. :slight_smile:

Heh heh I’m too scared to turn on that computer lol…>.>

Well. I don’t really see any way of cleaning it out then. ???

Heh heh…I’ll feel better if I do it in safe mode…Can I?

Yes you can. ;D combofix works very well in safe mode. But you will have to be in normal windows to post the log. I will also require a HJT log from normal windows.
