HJT/CF/AVG logs

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 from HERE. Save it to your Desktop and extract it.

2. Download the attached avengerscript.txt and save it to your desktop

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by double clicking on its icon on your desktop.

Under "Script file to execute" choose "Load script from file".
Now click on the folder icon which will open a new window titled "open Script File"
navigate to the file you have just downloaded, click on it and press open
Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:

It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

5. Please attach the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply, as well as a fresh HJT and Combofix log.

Your HJT log is clean.

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.


If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

Threads merged.

I see you`ve managed to get your system infected again. You really need to start taking care when browsing the internet etc.

Your system is infected with a trojan called Downloader.Agent.awf. It replaces legitimate files that are common on most computers with an infected file. Then, it moves the legitimate files to a bak or backup folder.

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.

Go and read this thread HERE and follow the instructions exactly. Then, post the requested log files.

Actually, the first thread was for my brother-in-laws PC. He told his friend about it, so now this is the friends PC. I followed the thread on removal, and those are the logs. Thanks Howard
 
Ok, no problem.

You need to go and follow the instructions HERE as I asked in my previous post.

That`s because that system is infected with a trojan called Downloader.Agent.awf. It replaces legitimate files that are common on most computers with an infected file. Then, it moves the legitimate files to a bak or backup folder.

Your awf.txt is now clean.

However, your system is far from clean and we need to do quite a lot of work in order to achieve that.

Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as Attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.

Also, let me know the results of the Panda Antirootkit scan.

Please open notepad and and copy and paste next bold in it:
(don't forget to copy and paste REGEDIT4)

REGEDIT4

"Authentication Packages"="msv1_0"
Save this as "fix.reg" Choose to save as *all files and place it on your desktop.

Doubleclick on it and when it asks you if you want to merge the contents to the registry, click yes/ok.

CF/HJT logs

I'd rather have reformatted it, hindsight being 20/20. Apparently their children click on any popup they see, and when things started to go from bad to worse, my brother-in-laws friend started clicking on all of those zany antispyware popups.

When I saved the log from CF after dropping the text I had copied, the log was 1229kb or something to that effect. Too big to attach, so I ran CF again and then HJT again, here are the logs. I appreciate all the help Howard.
 
Definitely starting to look better.

I did actually stop doing HJT log etc for a while. However, it quickly became apparent that my services were required, so I came out of retirement and here I am lol.

However, I hope this is only temporary and as soon as someone comes along to replace me, I intend to go back into retirement, or at the very least, seriously cut back on the amount I do in this forum.

Well done, your HJT log is now clean.

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.


If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.
