Thanks so much for your help on Christmas of all days! We may change the name of the day to Bronimas around here if this keeps up. Below is the OTL Fix log. Other files coming soon.

Thanks again.

Security Check Log

Hi Broni,

Update on computer performance. It runs fine once it is loaded. Haven't seen any processes out of the ordinary. It takes 15+ minutes to start up in normal mode. Not sure what the story is but it is a slow start up.

Still need to: (1) find a DVD to check the DVD drive and (2) fiddle on the internet to ensure there aren't any re-directs.

I ran scans all afternoon. The ESET scanner ran for four hours before the computer seemingly turned off on its own. I am in the process of running it again. Before it turned off it had found another Trojan Virus (note: Win32/Sirefef.DA trojan). Will post the log of that after letting it re-run overnight.

The Security Check log is below.

Feliz Bronimas!

Thanks,

OdieOss

1. Update your Java version here: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Note 1: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.

Note 2: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. If you don't want to run another extra service, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and restart your computer.

2. Now, we need to remove old Java version and its remnants...

Download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder
  • Run JavaRa.exe (Vista users! Right click on JavaRa.exe, click Run As Administrator), pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
  • Accept any prompts.

Your computer is clean

1. We need to reset system restore to prevent your computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). We'll create fresh, clean restore point, using following OTL script:

Run OTL

  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following:

Code: 
:OTL
:Commands
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]

  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • Post resulting log.

2. Now, we'll remove all tools, we used during our cleaning process

Clean up with OTL:

  • Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
  • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
  • On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
  • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

3. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.

4. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

5. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.

8. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4898-secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi.html. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.

9. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo Update Checker.
The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.

10. (Windows XP only) Run defrag at your convenience.

11. When installing\updating ANY program, make sure you always select "Custom " installation, so you can UN-check any possible "drive-by-install" (foistware), like toolbars etc., which may try to install along with the legitimate program. Do NOT click "Next" button without looking at any given page.

12. Read How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html

13. Please, let me know, how your computer is doing.

Final Steps

Hi Broni,

I hope this finds you well.

I have a couple of final questions for you:
1. My DVD driver no longer works. Placing DVD's in the drive causes the computer to respond appropriately but it is not recognized in windows. This isn't so critical, but if you had any suggestions about how to approach it, I would appreciate it. (As you recall we removed the meiudf.sys file).

2. My computer's start up time is pretty slow. I am defragging overnight, and have otherwise followed all the steps outlined. Since you are somewhat familiar with my computer's structure do you have a recommendation about what programs to remove to speed up start up? Are there utilities out there you could recommend.

I remain in your debt.

OdieOss
 
load ups, drivers

Hi Broni,

1. My DVD player is a MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S. Listed options include: UJ-835, UJ-845. What if we add the two files together and then divide by two?

2. I did a start up test:
Safe Mode: between 5 and 6 minutes
Normal Mode: between 14 and 15 minutes

Thanks,

OdieOss
 
1. Try to install both of them but one at a time and see if it works.

2. You must have some other issues (hardware?).
In this forum, we make sure, your computer is free of malware and your computer is clean :)
Because the access to malware forum is very limited, your best option is to create new topic about your current issue, at Windows section.
You'll get more attention.
