malware alerts...FRUSTRATED!

[boosieve]

Howard,

I am having the same problems as Chaser3161 with the malware and virus alerts and popups. I have attached the HJT log. Can you help a brother out please? I have run my AVG and spybot search and destroy and spyware blaster to no avail. I have removed Party poker and Video Access ActiveX Control as in chasers instruction....realizing now that maybe that was specific to Chaser...thanks for your help...pulling hair out!

Hello, welcome to TechSpot. :wave:

Very important: Before deciding whether to clean or reformat your system, read this thread and decide what you want to do.

If, after reading the above thread, you decide to clean your system, follow these instructions exactly.

First of all, go into C:\Program Files, and create a new folder named HJT. Now go to your desktop, cut the HijackThis.exe file from there, and paste it into C:\Program Files\HJT (your newly created folder). Now rename the HijackThis.exe file to analyzer1991.exe.

Only do the following, after moving and renaming HJT (as said above).

Go into Add or Remove Programs in your control panel and remove anything relating to the following:

Video Access ActiveX Object

Video ActiveX Object

SpywareRemover

PartyPoker

PowerReg Scheduler

p2pnetworks

altpayments

Now go into Task Manager by pressing ctrl, then alt, then del, in that order, then releasing them simultaneously. Go to the processes tab and end the process for (if there):

isamntr.exe

isamini.exe

pmsnrr.exe

pmmnt.exe

spywareremover.exe

Now go into C:\Program Files, and delete the following bold files and folders (if there):

C:\Program Files\Video Access ActiveX Object <delete the entire folder

C:\Program Files\PartyGaming

C:\Program Files\SpywareRemover

C:\Program Files\AltPayments

C:\Program Files\p2pnetworks

Have HJT fix these entries:

Search your computer for the following files and delete all instances found:

PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe

PowerReg Scheduler.exe

Now read the Viruses/spyware/malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions to the letter, then post fresh HJT and AVG Antispyware logs as attachments into this thread.

Trying to follow your instructions....but when deleting the video access activeX Object directory...wont delete the file isadd.dll cuz its being used by another program...tried to killbox it...won't delete. Also the instruction to go to the other thread seems like it repeats what has gone before but with some differences ie....change to analyzer.exe, when you said analyzer1991.exe etc....so in all ur saying about 17 steps to rid myself?....wow...thanks and any help with that isadd.dll file would be helpful.

OK, time for Plan B.

It doesn't really matter what you rename HijackThis.exe to, just as long as it's not HijackThis.exe, because some malware can hide from that filename.

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 from HERE. Save it to your Desktop and extract it.
2. Download the attached avengerscript.txt and save it to your desktop

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by double clicking on its icon on your desktop.

Under "Script file to execute" choose "Load script from file".
Now click on the folder icon which will open a new window titled "open Script File"
navigate to the file you have just downloaded, click on it and press open
Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:

It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

5. Please attach the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply, as well as a fresh HJT log and the requested AVG Antispyware log.

Also, you may want to look over my previous post again. I had just edited it and added more stuff, since Howard PM'ed me and alerted me to it. You may need to refresh the page.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how HERE.

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE.

Then follow kitty500cat`s instructions.

Boot back into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files, once finished.
