Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

1. Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
2. Close any open browsers.
3. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
   • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
   • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
   NOTE1. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
   NOTE 2. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always do so.
   • Close any open browsers.
   • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
   • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
   • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
4. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
5. When finished, it will produce a report for you.
6. Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt"

**Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

DO NOT make any other changes to your computer (like installing programs, using other cleaning tools, etc.), until it's officially declared clean!!!

Scans attd

thanks, Broni -

Apparently realplay.exe (Real Player) is taking a good chunk of your CPU at 30.30%.
I suggest, you uninstall it altogether and install Real Alternative instead: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/real_alternative.htm
After doing this, post fresh Process Explorer log.

=========================================================================

I strongly recommend, you uninstall RegCure.
Registry tools are not recommended and here is why: http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/registry-cleaners-and-system-tweaking_13.html

=========================================================================

1. Please open Notepad

• Click Start , then Run
• Type notepad .exe in the Run Box.

2. Now copy/paste the entire content of the codebox below into the Notepad window:

File::
c:\windows\system32\7547F59303.sys

Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer]
"NoResolveTrack"=-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer]
"NoResolveTrack"=-

3. Save the above as CFScript.txt

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

5. Then drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe as depicted in the animation below. This will start ComboFix again.

6. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), please post the following reports/logs into your next reply:

• Combofix.txt

process explorer & 2nd combofix scan

I deleted real player and it was way faster, but after the combofix reboot it still starts out way slow (although it has speeded up a bit).
I had already deleted regcure some time ago (it doesn't show up on my programs) so if you can tell me how to get rid of the residue I'd appreciate it.

Process explorer and combofix attd.

thanks for your time with this

Process Explorer looks more decent.
System Idle Process is listed at 72.83%
Much better, but not perfect yet.
We're not done with cleaning yet, though.

===============================================================

Uninstall Combofix:
Go Start > Run [Vista users, go Start>"Start search"]
Type in:
Combofix /Uninstall
Note the space between the "Combofix" and the "/Uninstall"
Click OK (Vista users - press Enter).
Restart computer.

================================================================

Download MBRCheck to your desktop

Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (Vista and Windows 7 users, right click and select Run as Administrator).
It will show a black screen with some data on it.
A report called MBRcheckxxxx.txt will be on your desktop
Open this report and post its content in your next reply.

====================================================================

Download OTL to your Desktop.

* Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.

* Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

• When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows: OTL.txt and Extras.txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
• Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post them back here.

Run MBRCheck again.

When it's done you'll see the following line:
Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
Pres the Y key and then press Enter

When the program asks you to Enter your choice, enter 2 and press the Enter key.

Next the program will ask you to Enter the physical disk number to fix (0-99, -1 to cancel):
Enter 0 (zero) and press the Enter key.

Next the program will show Available MBR codes:, followed by a list of operating systems.
Please enter 1 for Windows XP, and then press Enter.

Next the program will prompt for confirmation.
Type YES and hit Enter.

When it's done there should be a text file with the results on your desktop.
Please copy and paste it back here.

Then reboot, run MBRCheck again and post new log.

Our fix didn't work....

Restart computer
When you reboot you will see an option to boot into the Recovery Console or the normal Windows installation.
You have to use the up/down arrows to choose the Recovery Console. Then press Enter but you only have 2 seconds by default.
If you find this hard to do then you can go into Control Panel, System, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, Settings. Where it says Time to Display List of Operating Systems, change it to 10 or more seconds. OK Then reboot.

You should get a black screen with a C:\> prompt. Type with an Enter after each line:

fixmbr

(If it asks you if you are sure then say "Y".)

exit

Reboot computer.

Post fresh MBRCheck log.

• Run JavaRa.exe (Vista users! Right click on JavaRa.exe, click Run As Administrator), pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
• Accept any prompts.

========================================================================

You seem to have some Kaspersky leftovers.
Please, run Removal tool for Kaspersky Lab products: http://support.kasperskyamericas.com/knowledge-base-article/1464

=======================================================================

Kaspersky ok with firefox not with chrome

kaspersky apparently had a problem with chrome
firefox seems ok and i'm running scan

 

[Broni]

OK....

Update Adobe Reader

You can download it from https://www.techspot.com/downloads/2083-adobe-reader-dc.html
After installing the latest Adobe Reader, uninstall all previous versions.
Note. If you already have Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition installed or do not wish to have it installed UNcheck the box which says Also Download Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition.

Alternatively, you can uninstall Adobe Reader (33.5 MB), download and install Foxit PDF Reader(3.5MB) from HERE.
It's a much smaller file to download and uses a lot less resources than Adobe Reader.
Note: When installing FoxitReader, make sure to UN-check any pre-checked toolbar, or other garbage.

OTL Clean-Up
Clean up with OTL:

* Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
* Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
* On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
* Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

======================================================================

Your computer is clean

2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C:")
7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
8. Click OK

2. Restart computer.

3. Turn System Restore on.

4. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.

5. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

6. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

7. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

8. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.

9. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4898-secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi.html. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.
