Welcome to TechSpot! After I get information I'll help you.
=================================
My Guidelines: please read and follow:
- Be patient. Malware cleaning takes time and I am also working with other members while I am helping you.
- Read my instructions carefully. If you don't understand or have a problem, ask me.
- If you have questions, or if a program doesn't work, stop and tell me about it. Don't try to get around it yourself.
- Follow the order of the tasks I give you. Order is crucial in cleaning process.
- File sharing programs should be uninstalled or disabled during the cleaning process..
- Observe these:
[o] Don't use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you.
[o] Don't use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
[o] Don't download and install new programs- except those I give you.
- Please let me know if there is any change in the system.
If I don't get a reply from you in 5 days, the thread will be closed. If your problem persist, you can send a PM to reopen it.
=====================================
NOTE: Okay to download< but before trying to run the scans in the thread, do this:
Please download and run the tool below named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.
There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose
Run as Administrator
You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.
- Rkill.com
- Rkill.scr
- Rkill.pif
- Rkill.exe
- Double-click on the Rkill desktop icon to run the tool.
- If using Vista or Windows 7 right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator.
- A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
- If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.
- If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.
- Do not reboot until instructed.
- If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.
Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following>>>>.
Please download
exeHelper by Raktor and save it to your desktop.
- Double-click on exeHelper.com or exeHelper.scr to run the fix tool.
- A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
- A log file called exehelperlog.txt will be created and should open at the end of the scan)
- A copy of that log will also be saved in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com
- Copy and paste the contents of exehelperlog.txt in your next reply.
Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the tool again before posting a log and then post the two logs together (they both will be in the one file).
