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]
[emptyjava]
[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.
 
MalwareBytes is clean. Yay!

3 things.
1. Internet Explorer is not working - "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." Chrome and Opera work fine. (Note: I just deleted a bunch of BHOs, locked the hosts file, and turned on SDHelper all via Spybot.)
2. Video audio (might just be flash video) has loud, evenly spaced stuttering/crackling throughout. This is new. Should I revert to regular Flash?
3. ESET just gave me this warning. Unlike before, this time ESET was able to delete it. However, I don't know if svchost trying to access it is cause for concern.
7/9/2012 11:59:21 PM Real-time file system protection | file C:\FRST\QUARANTINE\SERVICES.EXE |
Win32/Sirefef.FC trojan | deleted - quarantined | NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM |
Event occurred during an attempt to access the file by the application: C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe.
 
IE is working again. Possibly due to eset deletion? Didn't happen immediately but maybe it was still in memory.
 
C:\FRST\QUARANTINE\SERVICES.EXE file was already quarantined by FRST so there was no real danger involved.
You're safe.

As for the issue #2...
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.

Good luck and stay safe :)
