    pc problems
    « on: April 07, 2009, 07:53:06 PM »
    Hello everyone at Computer Hope.

    I have been having some computer problems of late, i do believe it started a month ago or so with some thing called: packed.generic.200 or something like that and also some other smaller problems that i dont quite remember one might have been vundo at some point and other trojans i thought my antivirus at the time(fsecure) had taken care of it, however my license ended the other day and now ive got all kinds of problems, ive attempted to remove fsecure and have installed one of the free antiviruses which are recommended on this site (clamwin i believe its called)

    ive been using Super anti spyware, malwarebytes and hijackthis previously and have had them installed on the computer along with spybot search and destroy, ccleaner also uniblues `speed up my pc` and `registry booster` all to try and keep my pc running well. However now its not going so well anymore.

    Im not sure what the exact problem is i have followed the instructions provided on the post:
    http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html

    The only found `threat`from the scans is:Rootkit.Mailer/Gen which i have no clue what it is but its currently quarantined by super antispyware

    Problems im currently experiencing: Websites not loading/no response at all(using firefox), system reboots for no apparent reason, program crashes also for no reason at unpredictable times, programs not starting...

    and i have attached the three logs from: super antispyware, malwarebytes and hijackthis.

    Ive also done a `dxdiag-log` if you require information about my system and can post this later if need be.

    Thanks in advance for the work you do.

    /Filip

    I'm no expert mate but have you tried using a pay for system protect like Norton? The ones you pay for tend to sort out a few problems that others wont. Some viruses can be nearly impossible to remove but it just sounds like you need to pull the wallet out and get a proper anti-virus etc software. Someone will come back with a free programme but I find Norton top dollar. Like I say no expert but put a price on your system.

    No offense but that is just not true. I use only free antivirus, firewall and other security software. User error is what gets you infected.

    Download the Norton Removal Tool (SymNRT) to your Desktop.

    Once downloaded please close ALL open browsers, also save any work because this may require a restart.
    • Go to your desktop and double click on the removal tool and then click Setup.
    • Once open Click Next
    • Accept the license agreement and click Next
    • Type in the letters/numbers that you see into the text box then click Next.
    • Then click Next and the tool will start running.
    • Once finished restart the PC.
    • Delete Nortonremoval tool from your Desktop.
    .
    ----------

    There is still some F-Secure antivirus to remove.

    To remove the rest of F-Secure go here http://support.f-secure.com/enu/corporate/downloads/removeav.shtml

    ----------

    I suggest uninstalling ClamWin and using another free antivirus. ClamWin does not offer real-time blocking so you are open to a malware attack.

    Personally I use and recommend Avast. It's free and very good.

    Remember to only install one antivirus!
     
    1) Avast! Home Free Edition
    2) AVG Free Edition
    3) Avira AntiVir Personal

    ----------

    After all of that please post the two logs from DDS.

    Download from DDS by sUBs and save it to your Desktop. Alternate DDS download link

    Vista users right click on dds and select Run as administrator (you will receive a UAC prompt, please allow it)

    * XP users Double click on dds to run it.
    * If your antivirus or forewall try to block DDS then please allow it to run.
    * When finished DDS will open two (2) logs:

    1) DDS.txt
    2) Attach.txt

    * Save both logs to your desktop.
    * Please include the entire contents of both logs in your next reply.

    Note: DDS will instruct you to post the Attach.txt log as an attachment.
    Please just post it as you would any other log by copy and pasting it into the reply.

    I stand corrected but I find Norton really good. You know more than me hence me telling him I'm no expert.

        The malware probably redirected you to the bad web site.

          You may have to reinstall your Logitec software after we are finished.

          Suspicious files to scan

          Please go to VirSCAN.org FREE on-line scan service
          (If more than one file needs scanned they must be done separately and logs posted for each one)

          1. Copy and paste the following file path into the Suspicious files to scan box on the top of the page.
          Code: [Select]
          c:\windows\system32\drivers\5218c864.sys2. At the upload site, click once inside the window next to Browse.
          3. Press Ctrl+V on the keyboard (both at the same time) to paste the file path into the window.
          4. Click on the Upload button.
          This will perform a scan across multiple different virus scanning engines.
          Your file will possibly be entered into a queue which normally takes less than a minute to clear.
          [color="Red"]Important:[/color] Wait for all of the scanning engines to complete.
          5. Once the Scan is completed scroll down and click on the Copy to Clipboard button. This will copy the link of the report into the Clipboard.
          6. Paste the contents of the Clipboard in your next reply.

            Try this.

            Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
            • Under the Hidden files and folders heading:
            • Select Show hidden files and folders.
            • Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
            • Also, make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types.
            • Click OK
            .
            Now try uploading it again.
