Hey what's up,

Thanks for the taking the time to read this. I am helping out my girlfriend who is out of state fix her mother's computer. She is at work so we have not tried getting a log from DDS however I do have a HJT log for your review. This is her systems and the steps I have tried to take so far.

>Ran Spybot and found Fraud.Anitvirus2010 - Spybot couldn't fully remove it which to be expected
>Comodo does not launch when first starting up the computer. We launched this and attempted to scan but it just stalls at 0
> Attempted to scan in safemode but Comodo does not scan in safe mode. I sure an execute doesn't start up in safe mode for the program.
>Ran HJT and it's posted below. I couldn't see anything outstanding, but I'm no expert lol
> Ran Malwarebytes on her computer, this log is also posted for your review. Did not remove it btw, because it is prevented it to remove
> Looked at startups and couldn't see anything fishy expect this Winlogon.exe, which may be or might not be the issue after reading so much about it.

So I am having a hard time identifying this rogue malware expect that it's one of the "anti virus" ones. This malware has me stumped and I have removed some tough ones before.

Hopefully this helps a little. Thanks for your input in advance!

Hi DeaDeYe.... :welcome2:

Spybot S&D Teatimer

From your log i can see this that you are running Spybot S&D Teatimer. This might interfere with fixes we are about to do so we need to disable it.

Disable Spybot's TeaTimer. This is a two step process.
First step:
  • Right-click the Spybot Icon in the System Tray (looks like a blue/white calendar with a padlock symbol)
  • If you have the new version 1.5, Click once on Resident Protection, then Right click the Spybot icon again and make sure Resident Protection is now Unchecked. The Spybot icon in the System tray should now be now colorless.
  • If you have Version 1.4, Click on Exit Spybot S&D Resident
Second step, For Either Version :
  • Open Spybot S&D
  • Click Mode, choose Advanced Mode
  • Go To the bottom of the Vertical Panel on the Left, Click Tools
  • then, also in left panel, click Resident shows a red/white shield.
  • If your firewall raises a question, say OK
  • In the Resident protection status frame, Uncheck the box labeled Resident "Tea-Timer"(Protection of over-all system settings) active
  • OK any prompts.
  • Use File, Exit to terminate Spybot
  • Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.


Then:
Back Up registry with ERUNT

  • Please use the following link and scroll down to ERUNT and download it on to your desktop. HERE
  • Click on the erunt-setup.exe
  • Follow the prompts to install ERUNT
  • Choose language
  • A set up window will pop up. It will ask: Create ERUNT entry in to the Start up folder, answer NO

  • Backup your registry to the default location


Note: To restore your registry (if needed), go to the folder and start ERDNT.exe


Next

Download and Run ComboFix
  • Please download ComboFix from one of the following links.

    Link 1.

    Link 2.

    **IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop**

  • Please disable any Antivirus or Firewall you have active, as shown in this topic. Please close all open application windows.
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts
  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware
  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

  • Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the contents of C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply


Thanks

Fred
