Antivirus 7 Removal

[artbuc]

Yesterday I installed/ran Malwarebytes to remove AV7. Now I have completed the suggested steps and am posting the logs from SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes and HijackThis. My computer seems to be working fine but I want to be sure AV7 is completely gone and confirm that everything else is ok. Thanks.

Will someone please look at the logs I posted above and tell me if I need to do anything further? Thanks.

[SuperDave]

Your log shows that you have two Anti-Virus programs running on your computer; Authentium and MicroSoft Security Essentials. One will have to go as this can cause all kinds of problems while your computer is running. I would suggest you keep MSE and uninstall Authentium.
====================================
Please go to Jotti's malware scan
(If more than one file needs scanned they must be done separately and logs posted for each one)

* Copy the file path in the below Code box:

Code: [Select]

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllhost.exe
* At the upload site, click once inside the window next to Browse.
* Press Ctrl+V on the keyboard (both at the same time) to paste the file path into the window.
* Next click Submit file
* Your file will possibly be entered into a queue which normally takes less than a minute to clear.
* This will perform a scan across multiple different virus scanning engines.
* Important: Wait for all of the scanning engines to complete.
* Once the scan is finished, Copy and then Paste the link in the address bar into your next reply.

==============================================

Download Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

====================================

Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
O23 - Service: ArcSoft Connect Daemon (ACDaemon) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcSoft\Connection Service\Bin\ACService.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: Radialpoint Unicorn Update Service (RPSUpdaterR) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Verizon\PC Security Checkup\rpsupdaterR.exe (file missing)

Important: Close all open windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

Once completed, exit HijackThis.

Thanks. I will follow your instructions but I am confused. Where the heck did Authentium come from? I only installed what was specified in the Computer Hope instructions: MS Essentials, Online Armor, SuperAntispyware and Malwarebytes.

Here is the link to the Jotti scan:
http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanresult/f9bce034f09be1b2e20512d77a427738df47ea6d/ddc60ba647
c78f98a38206f9997a3bdb16642875

I don't know if I did it right. When I clicked on Browse and tried to press Ctrl+V nothing happened so I just did a cut/paste to add the file path.

PS I think Authentium on part of the Verizon FiOS security software. I deleted it.

[artbuc]

One last question. I had to reboot to delete the Verizon Security Suite. When the PC came back I had a message from Online Armour asking me what I wanted to do about this file: 1HU1.tmp.exe Install Helper. I didn't know what to do so I allowed it. Should I delete this file? Thanks for all your help. You have been tremendous.

You're welcome. Let's see if that file shows up in this scan.

Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links.  Be sure to save it to the Desktop.

link # 1
link #2

Close any open web browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

Temporarily disable your anti-virus, and any anti-spyware real-time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

Vista users Right-click combofix.exe and select Run as Administrator and follow the prompts. (you will receive a UAC prompt, please allow it)

Double-click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
When finished, ComboFix will produce a log for you.
Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

NOTE: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Remember to re-enable your anti-virus and anti-spyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

If you have problems with ComboFix usage, see How to use ComboFix
