Lots of viruses

After the reformat and Windows reinstall, you would need to reinstall your games and enter the cd keys again. However, provided your games are legal, which I`m sure they are(if they aren`t, we won`t talk about them here), this won`t present any problems, as you`ll already have the cd keys that came with the games right.

Yeh all legal..

I gotta make sure i can find windows disk tho :(

Also, how long does a format take?
 
A lot depends on the size of your hard disk. Mine is 120gigs and it takes about 40 minutes for a full format(A quick format is not recommended) and about half an hour to reinstall Windows. Then, there`s all the drivers that need installing and firewall software. then, windows updates need to be run, followed by the reinstallation of any programmes/games etc. Altogether about 6 or 7 hours for my system.

I can see that you`re very reluctant to reformat your system and believe me I do understand.

Despite my better judgment, I am prepared to try and clean your system, as long as you understand the following.

1: After cleaning(if at all possible), your system may still not run properly and you may still need to reformat. In other words, I can`t guarantee It`ll sort your problems out.

2: If you choose to let me try to clean your system, you will need to follow 100% any instructions I give you.

The choice as they say, is yours.

Ok, we need to try and get rid of your rootkit problem first. start by doing the following.

Download and run the Blacklight programme. follow all the instructions carefully.

Let me know the exact results of the Blacklight scan and post a fresh Combofix log. That means you`ll need to do a new scan with Combofix and post the resulting log.

Yes those are nasty, but don`t try and do anything on your own, otherwise we won`t know where we are.

Next: Download the AVG Antirootkit programme. Disconnect from the net and install the programme, then restart your computer.

Run the programme and click the "Perform in-depth search." Allow AVG to complete the scan. The AVG scanner will give the "Rootkit path"
* Select the Rootkit Driver by placing a checkmark against it and click "Remove selected items." Next, agree for the terms and conditions that is displayed by AVG and click "OK" to reboot the PC.

Run the programme again and see if it finds anything the second time. Reconnect to the net.

Do a scan with Combofix.

Post a fresh Combofix log and let me know what AVG Antirootkit found(if anything)

-Lots of the time Firefox, photoshop, MS paint will just freeze and go unresponsive when i try to save..


Ill boot up safe mode now, should i do it with networking?

Hello.

Heres the updated log..

Should i do a combofix one aswell?


Thanks again for your help:approve:
 
Have HJT fix this entry from normal mode.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT and reboot your system.

Other than the above inactive entry, your HJT log is now clean.

Please post fresh AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs.

Regards Howard :)

Thanks.

Do you have any idea what could be causing the control panel + saves to stop working?

Im doing avg scan now
 
I might have a better idea, once I`ve seen your AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs.

However, I did say before I started to clean your system, that it was possible your OS had been damaged.

Once I`ve seen your log files, I`ll see what we can do.

Download and run this ISTbar removal TOOL.

Then post the log files I requested.

Hes more helpful than like 5 call centres put together :p
 
Did you run the AVG Antispyware scan before or after you ran the ISTbar removal tool?

Also, your Combofix log contains the output from several scans. I need you to delete all the Combofix logs on your system and post a fresh Combofix log.

Also, I want you to run the Ccleaner programme as per the instructions in this thread HERE.

Remember what I said about following instructions 100% ;)

Yes, all the logs are bunched up together lol.

Run another AVG Antispyware scan, after you`ve run the ISTbar removal tool and Ccleaner. Then see what it comes up with. If it doesn`t find anything, there`s no need to post the log.

After you`ve done that, post a fresh HJT and Combofix log. Let me know exactly what problems you`re having, if any.

Regards Howard :)
