That's better.

1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C

Code: [Select]
KillAll::

FCopy::
C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$\atapi.sys | C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\atapi.sys

Driver::
prozuaq
SASKUTIL
SASENUM

Registry::
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MSMSGS"=-

Folder::
c:\program\Messenger


3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
4. Then click File > Save
5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!



ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.

Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze

    Well when Combofix was processing the logs my PC decided it needed another reboot. So I'm not sure the log is complete or usefull.

    No it didn't finish again.

    Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from and save it to your Desktop.

    * Double click on RSIT.exe to run.
    * Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
    * Once it has finished, two logs will open.
    * log.txt <will be maximized and info.txt <will be minimized
    * Please post the contents of both logs in the next reply.

      This is odd. I'm not finding anything.


      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\regedit.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.

        "C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.exe
        Can't find the file.
        Control the search way and the filename."

          Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only

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

          - O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Regedit32] C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.exe

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

          Once completed, exit HijackThis.

          ----------

          Panda USB and AutoRun Vaccine

          Insert your flash drive before we begin. Hold down the Shift key when inserting the flash drive until Windows detects it to bypass the autorun feature. This will keep the autorun.inf from executing automatically.

          Download Panda USB and AutoRun Vaccine and save it to your desktop.

          * Extract (unzip) the file to your desktop and a folder named USBVaccine will be created.
          * Open that folder and double-click on USBVaccine.exe to start the program.
          * Click Run
          * Click the button to Vaccinate computer.
          * Insert your USB flash drive.
          * When the name of the drive appears in the dialog box, click the button to Vaccinate USB drive(s).
          * Exit Panda USB and AutoRun Vaccine when done.

          Note: Computer AutoRun Vaccination will prevent any AutoRun file from running, regardless of whether the removable device is infected or not. USB Vaccination disables the autorun file so it cannot be read, modified or replaced by malicious code. The Panda Resarch Blog advises that once USB drives have been vaccinated, they cannot be reversed except with a format. If you do this, be sure to back up your data files first or they will be lost during the formatting process.

          ----------

          How is the computer running now?

            I'm not sure I understood that last step. What flashdrive are we talking about?

            Sorry if I'm making it hard for you.

            If you have any flash drives or portable drives. If not then just run the Panda tool anyway.

              Well I tried to reboot after the panda step and when the PC started again I got the system message that it needed to reboot. Once it did, it hit a couple of blue screens. Once it started, AVG warned me about; File name: C:\\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys     Threat name:Viruus indentified Packed.Protector.C    Process name: C\\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe.

              So i geuss not so good as it could?

                Scaned and found nothing. I suppose that's also why I didn't get a log?
