Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Very Important: Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread HERE and decide what it is you want to do.

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

Right click on this link DelO15Domains.inf and choose Save As. Save it to your desktop. Right click on that file and choose Install. It will run immediately (you won't be able to see anything happen). You may delete it afterwards. NOTE: This script will delete any sites you may have added to the Trusted Sites. So if you want them back, you have to add them back to the Trusted Sites again.


Double-click FindAWF.exe to start the tool. Then, do the following
Select "option #2 - Restore files from bak folders" by typing 2 and press Enter .
A text file will open up. Please copy/paste the following text from the quote box (all except the word QUOTE) into the text file.

"C:\Program Files\AIM\bak\aim.exe"
"C:\Program Files\iTunes\bak\iTunesHelper.exe"
"C:\Program Files\QuickTime\bak\qttask.exe"
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\bak\hkcmd.exe"
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\bak\igfxtray.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\bak\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Sony\ISB Utility\bak\ISBMgr.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Sony\sonicstage\bak\SsAAD.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Update 2\bak\VAIOUpdt.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Sony\Wireless Switch Setting Utility\bak\Switcher.exe"
"C:\WINDOWS\SONYSYS\VAIO Recovery\bak\PartSeal.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Network Associates\TalkBack\bak\tbmon.exe"

Close the .txt file and click Yes to save the changes.
When the tool has completed, a report will open up in notepad. Please post the results of the awf.txt in your next reply as an attachment.

[atown11]

here is my new results. the panda scan showed no rootkits.

I requested you post AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs. This is so I can make sure there`s nothing malicious left on your system.

sorry about that...here you go

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Your log files are now clean.

Delete this folder(if there).

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE.

Now, turn system restore back on. This will have deleted all your old restore points and any nasties that are in them. It will also have created a new, clean restore point.
