Virus: Privacy Protector, Spyware & Malware Protection, Error Cleaner. Help?

[deepikaur]

Hello, everyone!
Ok, sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. I just joined and need some serious help. Logged into my PC this morning and there were three new icons on my desktop:

>Privacy Protector
>Spyware&Malware Protection
>Error Cleaner

On top of that, there were these popups that kept coming up, and all these IE windows kept opening. And my Firefox windows kept crashing. Also, I am unable to open task manager.. Tried going to 'run', but even from there, I couldn't access my task manager. Also, several things from my desktop are missing, and I cannot afford to lose any of my data, but my computer keeps crashing, so I'm unable to back it up. I do run Symantec Antivirus regularly.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me with this problem ASAP (considering I've got a major project due tomorrow)!

If anyone needs to know, I use Windows XP, but am currently accessing the internet from my friend's laptop.

unableo download ComboFix

Thanks very much for the swift reply!

Ok, I've completed the first step (the one involving Malwarebytes Anti-Malware), but I'm unable to download ComboFix for some reason.
Every time I click either of the links, I get a message saying "You cannot rename ComboFix as ComboFix[1]!" even though I'm not attempting to rename it.

Anywho, I've attached the first log. Please tell me what you'd like for me to do in place of the second step, if anything.

HJT log

And here's my log from the HJT run. =]

 

[kritius]

Can you run DSS again, I dont get why those files are saying not found when they are showing in the previous log.

Does your computer have multiple user accounts?

 

[deepikaur]

Sorry, my internet had been down yesterday..
I ran the DSS, as you asked, but this time, only the "main" document opened. I've attached it.
This PC only has the administrator and guest accounts, but nobody has been under guest for quite some time now.

 

[kritius]

The extra should be in the deckards folder.

Fix entries using HiJackThis

• Launch HiJackThis
• Click the Do a system scan only button
• Put a check next to the entries listed below

O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler.exe
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://edits.mywebsearch.com/toolbaredits/menusearch.jhtml?p=ZJxdm128MHUS

• IMPORTANT: Do NOT click fix until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now
• Click the Fix checked button and close HiJackThis
• Reboot HijackThis if necessary

I would like you to do an online scan so that we can what else may be in your system,
Run Kaspersky online scanner
With the exception of Internet Explorer, which must be used for this scan, keep ALL programs closed
Note: It is recommended to disable onboard antivirus program and antispyware programs while performing scans to speed up scan time and to make sure there are no conflicts.
Do not go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable resident antivirus protection along with whatever antispyware application you use.

Do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner in Internet Explorer. You will be prompted to install and run an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the licence accepted, reset to 100%.

• The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
• Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
  o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  o Extended (If available, otherwise use standard)
  o Scan Options:
  o Scan Archives
  o Scan Mail Bases
• Click OK
• Under select a target to scan, select My Computer
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
• Please do not use your computer while the scan is running. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
• Click the Save Report As... button (see red arrow below)
  
  
  
  
  
• In the Save as... prompt, select Desktop
• In the File name box, name the file
• In the Save as type prompt, select Text file (see below)
  
  
  
  
  
• Include the report in your next post.

Attached.
And about your previous question.. this PC doesn't have any other accounts, but a handful of people use it, not just myself.

 

[deepikaur]

Oh, it'd probably be best to tell you...
When I came home today and logged in, I saw several new icons on my desktop, but these were different. As soon as I deleted them, popups similar to the ones before started coming up. I ran RogueRemover to stop the popups and icons from showing up, but I think the new virus is still there. =(
