I did run combofix. The log is in the first page of this thread.

1. Close any open browsers.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

File::

Folder::

Registry::

Driver::

Rootkit::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tdlcmd.dll

KillAll::

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

Post a fresh HijackThis log as well.

Here are the two logs.

Your logs are clean.

I would ditch all IOBit software as they have been known to use other companies databases and pass it off as their own.

go to start and then run and type ComboFix /Uninstall

Ok great. Thank you for all your help. Two final questions- What iobit software? And finally, what were the consequences of having this rootkit virus? Could they have taken any information from my computer or anything like that? Thanks again!

 

[ara002]

Oh ok, I see you are referring to Advanced SystemCare. What would you recommend in place of that? I had Ad-aware but if you look back in this thread, another member of techspot recommend I use SystemCare. What do you think? And Tmagic650, what are your thoughts on IOBit?

 

[kritius]

I recommend that you use Malwarebytes, this was the database that IOBit stole, why use an inferior software when you can use the original.

Also, this rootkit may have been able to gather information so it would be wise to monitor any charges made to credit cards etc for a while and change any passwords on a different computer.
