Computer Hope
Software => Computer viruses and spyware => Topic started by: Jdog66 on January 27, 2010, 05:01:35 PM

Wife said the computer locked up and when she restarted it we are getting numerous alert windows that we are being attacked and do we want to block the attack. One window says "Application cannot be executed. The file avgui.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?". Previously this window indicated CSC.exe was infected. Different message at each attempt to launch a program.
Any help is much appreciated as I don't know how to proceed.

Hello, Jdog66.
Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that.
-
Installed and ran Combofix. When it finished computer restarted but the screen is now blank.
Afraid to proceed without advice.
-
Please save the following instructions into Notepad and print it out as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the process.
1.Please reboot into Recovery Console.
2.You must enter which Windows installation to log onto. Type 1 and press Enter.
3.At the C:\Windows prompt, type the following bolded command, and press Enter:
set allowallpaths = true
4.At the next prompt type without the quotes "cd erdnt\subs" and hit Enter.
5.At the next prompt, please type in the following without the quotes: "batch erdnt.con" and hit Enter.
The erunt backups should begin copying backup files. At the next prompt after it is complete, Type exit.
kindly reboot your pc and tell me if Windows is loading now

I returned from work to find that it had completed and the log was displayed. I guess I wasn't expecting it to take that long. Here is the Combofix log...

- Spybot - Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/tutorial/index.html).
Spybot - Search & Destroy is a spyware and adware removal program. It also has realtime protection, TeaTimer to help safeguard your computer against spyware. (The link for Spybot - Search & Destroy contains a tutorial that will help you download, install, and begin using Spybot).
NOTE: Please keep ALL of these programs up-to-date and run them whenever you suspect a problem to prevent malware problems.
Resident Protection help
A number of programs have resident protection and it is a good idea to run the resident protection of one of each type of program to maintain protection. However, it is important to run only one resident program of each type since they can conflict and become less effective. That means only one antivirus, firewall, and scanning anti-spyware program at a time. Passive protectors such as SpywareBlaster can be run with any of them.
Rogue programs help
There are a lot of rogue programs out there that want to scare you into giving them your money and some malware actually claims to be security programs. If you get a popup for a security program that you did not install yourself, do NOT click on it and ask for help immediately. It is very important to run an antivirus and firewall, but you can't always rely on reviews and ads for information. Ask in a security forum that you trust if you are not sure. If you are unsure and looking for anti-spyware programs, you can find out if it is a rogue here:

Securing your computer- Windows Updates (http://update.microsoft.com) - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
- hpHosts file (http://hosts-file.net) replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. This prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1, which is your local computer's loopback address, meaning it will be difficult to infect your computer in the future.
Please consider using an alternate browser
Mozilla's Firefox browser is a very good alternative. In addition to being generally more secure than Internet Explorer, it has a very good built-in popup blocker and add-ons, like NoScript, can make it even more secure. Opera is another good option.

- Opera is available here: http://www.opera.com/download/ (http://www.opera.com/download/)

Great thanks so much. I really appreciate all your help.
I updated the Java as you instructed and I will review the information and install a firewall and antispyware. I have AVG currently installed but I am now on comcast and was wondering if there was any benefit to switch to McAfee that they provide free to customers?

I do not like McAfee, but if you stay with AVG, you will have a more secure computer.
