The website uses ActiveX controls to determine which version of the software your computer is running. If you see an ActiveX warning, make sure the control is digitally signed by Microsoft before installing it or allowing it to run."

lol.....................

xan i get some real help please?

If you read the info in the link , and follow the instructions given you should be able to figure out whats going on. LOL

well if u read my post i said that i already did it and i posted the logs too and i needed some one to check my logs.

Calm down, did you try it in safe mode ? I only offered a response because noone else did, have patience. Have you checked your processes to see if anything abnormal is running in the back ground ?

jee thanks but i need like professional to help me, my pc works even that half of my **** doesn't work.sys restore is ****ed,WM player wont even open, few softwares missing .msi files,windows update is ****ed too,sfc/scan ask for cd and it keep telling im using wrong cd even that its genuine cd from the store, i even copied I368 folder to c: and changed path in regedit it still does some thing.so if u can help me that will be great but i doubt it.thanks for concern

Please note: HJT and any other logs must not be posted as .doc files. This is due to the risk of viruses etc.

you need to post the actual logs or even rename them as txt, so they can be opened with notepad

Hi, it sounds like this virus really went out on your PC... I'd just reformat everything.

reformat is not the best solution since i have lots of stuff that i don't have a cd for anymore so that will suck i also was think of running windows repair from CD but what will it do concerning my games, music softwares and how they will work after.
srry for the logs i miss understood the the mall ware instruction lol im gonna run the scans over again since it's been 3 days after i posted those logs and i cleaned a lot of registry entries and some softwares

The repair function won't cause you to lose data, only microsoft updates, but it also wont get rid of malware

Hi,

You mentioned that you have gone through the instructions and have the logs. However, because some time has lapsed, I require you to provide 3 fresh logs: AVG antispyware, HJT from normal mode and ComboFix from normal mode.

Do the scans in this order: AVG, ComboFix, HJT. I'll reply you as soon as I see your logs.

here we go finally i got some1 to help me,thanks for helping momok i've been waiting for 3 days now.I had to put combo and adware(found more virus thought u might want to take a look and i also included fist avg scan log cuz i didnt find anything on the second scan except tracking cookies) logs in zip it kept telling it was to big to post.
P.S. what happened to hopkinso? he got banned? he helped me out last time kinda sad,seemed like a great guy.

thats why im trying to clean out my pc first, i don't care about updates they can be download again but my programs and such how they gonna act? are they still gonna work properly? in my other post i listed most of the problems that im having atm that been caused by virus (http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?p=559297#post559297)

Got it sir my bad

Hi,

You may wish to copy and paste these instructions on notepad for easier reference later.

1. Boot into safe mode under your normal user name. See how HERE
   
2. Next turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE
   
   
3. Go to start > run and type msconfig. Press the enter key.
   Search for the following entries. Uncheck them to stop them from starting up. Click Ok but do not restart your system yet.
   
   License
   
   
4. After that, run HijackThis and fix the following entries, if found (do this by placing a tick in the check boxes beside these entries and clicking "Fix checked"):
   
   O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2EF2834D-9B4D-4BBC-803D-6C887A824AE4} - (no file)
   O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [License] locker.exe
   O20 - Winlogon Notify: tuvsqqo - tuvsqqo.dll (file missing)
   
   Close HJT.
   
   
5. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quote box below into it (all except the word QUOTE):
   
   
6. Save this as CFScript on the desktop.
7. Referring to the image below, drag CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe.
   
   
8. ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts. After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it shall produce a log for you. Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.
   Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to hang
   
   
9. Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Thereafter, please post a fresh HJT log and the resultant ComboFix log from the above instructions as attachments into this thread.

momok =)
