No libusb in device manager.

[Broni]

OK, couple of things.
I wasn't aware, you're running 64-bit version of Vista.
HJT is not very useful here, since it's not fully compatible with 64-bit system.
Secondly, judging from the driver name: libusb-win32, it's 32-bit driver, so it doesn't even make sense to reinstall it.
You must be looking for 64-bit driver (if it exist).

[Broni]

No libusb in device manager.

Click View>Show hidden devices.

[DustinHerron]

I found a forum that tells me how to get libusb to work on 64 bit vista, but again it involves using the installer which is still impossible. You would think there would be a way to chase down the remnants of the original installation and delete them or at some way to purge it or at least find out where they are.

The device manager turned up a lot of things when I showed hidden items. But not a one of them had anything to do with libusb.

Download avz4.zip

• Unzip it.
• Double click on AVZ.exe to run it.
  
• Run an update by clicking the Auto Update button on the Right of the Log window:
  
• Click Start to begin the update
  

Note: If you recieve an error message, chose a different source, then click Start again

• After the update, from the "File" menu, choose "Standard Scripts"
  
• Put a check next to item 2: Advanced System Investigation
  
• Click Execute selected scripts
  
• At the next prompt, click the OK button
  
• Let the scan run and click "OK" when the completion prompt pops up
• Now Close out of the Standard Scripts window, and exit AVZ
  
• Navigate to the avz4 folder and locate the folder LOG
  
• Inside the LOG folder you will find virusinfo_syscheck.htm and virusinfo_syscheck.zip
  
• Attach the compressed file, virusinfo_syscheck.zip, to your next reply.
  

[DustinHerron]

Here you go.

[Broni]

• Close all windows then double click on AVZ.exe
• Click File > Custom scripts
• Running script window will open
     
  
• Copy & paste the contents of the following codebox in the Running script window
  
  

Code: [Select]

begin
SetAVZGuardStatus(True);
SearchRootkit(true, true);
 DeleteService('libusb0');
 DeleteService('libusbd');
 BC_DeleteFile('C:\Windows\system32\libusbd-nt.exe');
 BC_DeleteFile('C:\Windows\system32\drivers\libusb0.sys');
BC_ImportDeletedList;
ExecuteSysClean;
BC_Activate;
RebootWindows(true);
end.


• Note: When you run the script, your PC will be restarted
     
  
• Click Run
• Restart your PC if it doesn't do it automatically, and post back with a new HijackThis log.

After restart, the driver, and all its services should be gone.

[DustinHerron]

My problems seem to never end.

After I click run after pasting into the box I get what looks like some cyrillic letters and a message telling me the program has stopped working.

[JJ 3000]

This started trying to install the driver that allows me to use my PS3 controller on my computer.

You can buy usb game controllers at your local department store. Some look exactly like playstation controllers. I got one at Walmart for fifteen bucks.

Have you tried doing a system restore to before you installed the driver?

[Broni]

Run it one more time.

[DustinHerron]

I tried it 9 times.
