    There is a very similar thread before this.  I did download FSRT in an attempt to run locally on the laptop, but in the repair options, I only have "start-up Repair" and "Dell Backup and Recover Manager" and there is no Command Prompt option for me to run FSRT.  I cannot do anything within the time I have before the system reboots.  I have access to another PC and a flash drive, but I cannot provide you any logs at this point.  I can tell you the user of the laptop called me earlier today when the laptop was going to questionable sites.  I arrived to find the Microsoft Security Essentials was not working correctly and used my account to run Stinger.exe and SuperAntiSpyware.  Stinger found and removed different viruses - I did not write them down (the second one was ZeroDay).  I then ran SuperAnti Spyware and the only thing it found was 146 cookies it removed.  I then installed SuperAnti Spyware and rebooted.  I was able to install and reinstall MS Security Essential, I then rebooted the laptop and had my user lo gin and the virus took off again and since has been rebooting the PC after 60 seconds.  This is extremely frustrating.

      This morning I tried booting and MS Sec. Essentials was working on removing the files and the reboot occurred.  But the boot then failed, so the system repaired startup and now I have a login to the PC.  I have a committment this morning, but will work on the laptop this evening attempting to get logs.  Currently doing a quick scan with MS Sec. Essentials and will use SuperAntiSpyware.

      Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

      1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
      2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
      3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
      4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
      5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
      6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
      7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

      If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.
      *************************************************************************
      Please run this in Safe Mode with NetWorking. If it runs ok, reboot to Normal Mode and try to run it again.

      • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Full Scan", then click Scan.
      • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
      • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

      • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note)
      • Please save the log to a location you will remember.
      • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
      • Copy and paste the entire report in your next reply.
      Extra Note:

      If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

        Download Security Check by screen317 from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.

        Link 1
        Link 2

        * Double-click Security Check.bat
        * Follow the on-screen instructions inside of the black box.
        * A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt
        * Post the contents of that document in your next reply.

        Note: If a security program requests permission from dig.exe to access the Internet, allow it to do so.
        ***********************************************************
        Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your DESKTOP

        Link 1
        Link 2
        Link 3

        To prevent your anti-virus application interfering with  ComboFix we need to disable it. See here for a tutorial regarding how to do so if you are unsure.
        • Close any open windows and double click ComboFix.exe to run it.

          You will see the following image:


        Click I Agree to start the program.

        ComboFix will then extract the necessary files and you will see this:



        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. This will not occur in Windows Vista and 7

        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.

        If you did not have it installed, you will see the prompt below. Choose YES.



        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 will produce a report for you. Please post the contents of the log (C:\ComboFix.txt).

        Leave your computer alone while ComboFix is running. ComboFix will restart your computer if malware is found; allow it to do so.

        Note: Please Do NOT mouseclick combofix's window while its running because it may cause it to stall.

          Update Your Java (JRE)

          Old versions of Java have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.


          First Verify your Java Version

          If there are any other version(s) installed then update now.

          Get the new version (if needed)

          If your version is out of date install the newest version of the Sun Java Runtime Environment.

          Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.

          Be sure to close ALL open web browsers before starting the installation.

          Remove any old versions

          1. Download JavaRa and unzip the file to your Desktop.
          2. Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
          3. Once complete exit JavaRA.

          Additional Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and reboot your computer.
          *****************************************************
          Update your Adobe Reader. get.adobe.com/reader.

          Be sure to uncheck the Free McAfee Security Scan so it isn't installed.

          ******************************************************
          Please download aswMBR.exe ( 511KB ) to your desktop.

          Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it



          Click the "Scan" button to start scan

          Note: Do not take action against any **Rootkit** entries until I have reviewed the log. Often there are false positives



          On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply
          ********************************************************
          SysProt Antirootkit

          Download
          SysProt Antirootkit from the link below (you will find it at the bottom

            Thanks for your help so far - I definitely appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!

            I look forward to next steps.

            I had to deviate on the Adobe Reader step.  I will explain below:

            *****

            Java upgraded from 1.6.0.23 to version 1.6.0.33.

            *****

            Adobe Reader 10.0 removed - do not have Internet where I currently am, so I will add Adobe Reader 10.1.3 tonight when I get home and can open an Internet connection.

              No, just get your Adobe updated. Malware just love out-of-date programs.

                Ran ESET - Log below.

                The PC has been working OK.  Need to run as the user again.  Will touch base again after I run as the user.  I am a little nervous this last tool found 4 things, but I'm hopeful.

                    Just a note, ran a full MS Sec. Essentials scan as the user who got the infection last night and nothing came up.  So it seems pretty good at this point.  Look forward to your comments as to where we are.

                    That looks good. Let's do some cleanup.

                    To uninstall ComboFix

                    • Click the Start button. Click Run. For Vista: type in Run in the Start search, and click on Run in the results pane.
                    • In the field, type in ComboFix /uninstall


                    (Note: Make sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)

                    • Then, press Enter, or click OK.
                    • This will uninstall ComboFix, delete its folders and files, hides System files and folders, and resets System Restore.
                    ***************************************************
                    Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

                    Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

                    Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

                    Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

                    TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

                    * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
                    * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
                    * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

                    Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.
                    ***************************************************
                    Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

                    Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

                    Remember only install ONE firewall

                    1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
                    2) Online Armor
                    3) Agnitum Outpost
                    4) PC Tools Firewall Plus

                    If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

                        Yes, unless something else comes up. You might also keep SAS and MBAM, if you wish. Update them and run them on a regular basis.
