Hi, I’m Francesco from Italy. It’s my first message on the forum. I’ve got the same problem as other users. In a shop my usb pendrive took this kind of virus/malware/spyware (don’t know what it is). Folders become links, control panel and other programs can’t be open.
I need your help to fix. Following the other similar threads I downloaded OTL. Please tell me the steps I have to do and I’ll do them to get rid of this problem. Thank you for your help
hey and welcome to the avast forum.
plaese follow this guide and attach your logs
we need the logs from adwclener,mbam,otl and aswmbr.
Hi thank you!
Ok see you later
Monitoring
Hi, well… I killed the process Wscript.exe in task manager, otherwise I can work only in safe mode.
Attached 3 logs, if they’re enough to fix my problem (OTL does’t give the “Extra” log, I don’t know why)
If not, ok I go on with the other steps
Sorry for my English, if there are mistakes.
Thank you for your help again!
I forgot the aswMBR log… I’ll post it in a couple of minutes, sorry
I can’t have the whole log from aswMBR :-
It stops before finishing…

Check USB storage devices / removable drives
Download MCShield from one of the following links:
MyCity - Official download link
Softpedija - Mirror download link
[*] Double click MCShield-Setup to install the application.
[*] Wait a few seconds to MCShield finish initial scan.
Recommendation to under General and Scanner tab you click on Defaults button to choose recommended options.

When all scanning is done, you need to attach a logreport that has made MCShield.

Explanation: USB storage devices are all the USB devices that get their own partition letter at connecting to the PC,
e.g. flash drives (thumb/pen drives, USB sticks), external HDDs, MP3/MP4 players, digital cameras,
memory cards (SD cards, Sony Memory Stick, MultiMedia Cards etc.), some mobile phones, some GPS navigation devices etc.
Sorry for CF, I tried to use it cause it helped me years ago. Sorry
Sorry for OTLFix with another script. I thought it was the same for everybody, later I have read it needs one for one pc only.
Thank you very much for you help. I don’t know if my pc is ok. I attach the report file
Hi magna86, I have done the procedure again, following the steps from the guide. This time I paid attention to the steps and did not touch anything
Attached the logs of the four programs. Please, can you check if all is ok?
Thank you very much indeed for your help.
Hi,
Again, we’re going back to the same.
You didn’t attach Combofix log as I’ve asked, You didn’t attach MCShield log as I’ve asked, didn’t tell me what OTL script you have been used, you have been running AdwCleaner even 4 times by now and you never attach his true (first) log, and I did not tell you to follow the procedure again from the beginning. ;D
You know, It’s very hard to catch up everything you do on your own so on this question I have no answer.
Please, can you check if all is ok?Attached logs looks good. :)
LOL magna you’re completely right!! If it’s necessary I can run combofix and post the log (can’t find the old one, maybe I deleted it).
I still have a problem: control panel disappeared, restriction when do right-click on “computer propriety”. I know that this problem can be solved coming back on a previous restore point. What do you suggest about it?
Many thanks for your patient help!
