Title: Possible Ave.exe infection, Please HELP!
Post by: Phixius on March 29, 2010, 08:02:47 PM

Hello,

Thank you in advance for whoever will help me! I was on theknot.com (My online wedding site) when all the sudden a window popped up trying to scan my computer for a virus which I immediately clicked out of and ended its processes. However, now I can no longer open the majority of files on my computer and anything I can open I have to bypass the simple "double-click" method. I will so very much appreciate anyone who will help me!


Ok, so I followed the steps in the "Read this before requesting malware removal help." The results are as follows:

Step A: Antivirus

For my Antivirus, I am on the Christopher Newport University computer network and they require us to use Symmantec Antivirus. But I also already had SUPERAntiSpyware downloaded and I normally scan my computer with that once a week.

Step B: Firewall

I am running Windows XP, so I tried downloading the Online Armor that was recommended, but once it was downloaded and I tried to install it, everytime I double-clicked on it a window would pop-up saying that "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." So I moved on to the next step.


Step 1: Add or Remove Programs

The only programs I found that I do not know what are are as follows:

-Browser Defender 2.0.6.11
-Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem
-MSXML 4.0 SP2 KB927978
-MSXML 4.0 SP2 KB936181
-MSXML 4.0 SP2 KB954430
-MSXML 4.0 SP2 KB973688
-Pando Media Booster
-TBS WMP Plug-in

Step 2: House Cleaning

Everything went as normal for this step.

Step 3: SUPERAntiSpyware

Performed the scan and rebooted the computer, however, when I tried to open the log to save it to the desktop, it said that there was an unexpected error and the program had to restart. Moved on to the next step.

Step 4: Malwarebytes' Anit-Malware

Performed the quick scan as normal and saved the log file:

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.40

Step 5: Update Your Java

I checked my version and it was old so when I tried to download the newer version it came up with the: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel" message again, so I moved on to the next step.

Step 6: Hijack This

This program ran normally, this is the log file:

Also, for the SUPERAntiSpyware scan, it detected 3 harmful programs, all 3 of which were trojans and 1 of them was an installer. Just thought I'd mention that.

UPDATE:

Ok, so last night, my Symmantec antivirus picked up on 2 Packed.Mistic! and 12 AntiVirus 2010 and quarantined them. Now I am able to open all my files and programs without getting the message saying that they do not have a program association so I am going to try and download the extra Firewall and update my java.
