Yet another getusaaall

Since I let one of my nephews use my computer I get constant Avast! Web Shield alerts

Object: htxp://getusaaall.info?/e=pchocht=2dcu…
Infection:Mal
Process: C:Windows\System32\svchostexe

Malwarebytes finds and quarantines a few PUPs but can’t find the problem. Logs attached, all assistance appreciated before nephewcide is committed.

Let me know if this stops the alerts please

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Download the attached Fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

I’m afraid the message reappeared the moment I finished the restart.
log attached - hope it’s the right one.

OK next step bigger hammer :slight_smile:

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.
[*]Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Phew! That seems to have worked.

I attach the log for your information.

Thanks very very much, you have saved my bacon and my nephew’s hide

Regards and thanks

Catherine

Sometimes it just needs a good kicking :slight_smile:
If all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up :slight_smile:

Good kicking very effective - all clean, all day

Many thanks and this one is fixed.

Catherine - with crossed fingers

The only problem is that we are unable to determine the launch point, with earlier versions of windows we can use combofix, but for windows 8.1 we are stuck. And looking at the combofix deletions I still cannot see what it is doing. This is a tad frustrating

Anyway, that is my problem

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :slight_smile:

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:

Download and run Delfix

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG

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

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

Spoke too soon - now I’m being hijacked by something called wxw.lpmxp2022.com which wants me to download something.

First - no
Second - what do I do now? Should I open a new thread?

Catherine

Nope continue here, did you download any programmes yesterday ?

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

[*]Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Select additions at the bottom
[*]Press Scan button.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/frst.JPG

[*]It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
[*]Please attach both logs generated.

No, I didn’t download anything although I did watch a few youtube vids

Scans attached - nephew back in doghouse

Posting the log - so far all quiet but I haven’t been on-line for more than 5 mins yet

Catherine

Could you monitor it for a while please as this is becoming quite a pain to kill

Don’t worry, I will, and may I say, how much I appreciate your assistance

Almost as much as my nephew who might not now be written out of my will

Catherine

Well, it’s a couple of days later and it all seems quiet on the Western Front

Many thanks,

Catherine
