Inactive Should I start 6 step process?

Let me just start by saying thank you for having this support.

First of all, I found this forum after I had already done a couple things so I want to make sure I'm okay to start the steps or if my only option at this point is to reinstall windows.

The problem started when I opened an unsafe file and my computer immediately crashed. When it restarted, windows could not start and it attempted startup repair which failed. I proceeded to do a restore from a system image which was over a year old but was the only one I had. Once I did this windows was able to start but I noticed it still wasn't right. Loading windows was extremely slow and I was being redirected on google. I went to open malwarebytes which had been previously installed and realized that the folder was there but the application and setup were both gone. After a while I got mbam reinstalled and did the quick scan which found 2 instances of rootkit which i deleted. Since my restore point was so old I had 98 windows updates which I tried to install but my computer crashed. I wasn't sure if this was from the virus or from using such an old restore point. The next day I did another mbam scan which found 3 trojan.jorik on my system. Here and there I will get a blue screen and a crash and I am unable to update windows. So should I begin your 6 step process (or is it 8 step? I have seen both) or do I have to go to the trouble of reinstalling windows? Thank you for you time!

Gmer

When I open GMER it appears to be doing a quick scan for just a couple of seconds and then I saved the log and the file was empty. Is this normal or is it not really scanning?
 
If it doesn't find any modifications, it won't produce any log.
Go on with others.
 
6 steps completed

Here are the logs requested. The initial gmer scan was blank. I should also note that I performed malwarebytes quick scan twice before starting this process which did produce results. I can produce those logs if needed. Thank you in advance for anyone taking the time to look at these logs.

You're running two AV programs, Lavasoft Ad-Watch Live! Anti-Virus and Avira.
One of them has to go.
I suggest Lavasoft goes.

Then....

Download aswMBR to your desktop.
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it.
If you see this question: Would you like to download latest Avast! virus definitions?" say "Yes".
Click the "Scan" button to start scan:


On completion of the scan click "Save log", save it to your desktop and post in your next reply:


NOTE. aswMBR will create MBR.dat file on your desktop. This is a copy of your MBR. Do NOT delete it.

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

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 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall
**Note 2 for AVG users: ComboFix will not run until AVG is uninstalled as a protective measure against the anti-virus. This is because AVG "falsely" detects ComboFix (or its embedded files) as a threat and may remove them resulting in the tool not working correctly which in turn can cause "unpredictable results". Since AVG cannot be effectively disabled before running ComboFix, the author recommends you to uninstall AVG first.
Use AppRemover to uninstall it: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5514-appremover.html
We can reinstall it when we're done with CF.
**Note 3: If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registery key that has been marked for deletion", restart computer to fix the issue.



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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE.
If, for some reason, Combofix refuses to run, try one of the following:

1. Run Combofix from Safe Mode.

2. Delete Combofix file, download fresh one, but rename combofix.exe to yourname.exe BEFORE saving it to your desktop.
Do NOT run it yet.

Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.

There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.

Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose Run as Administrator

You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

Rkill.com
Rkill.scr
Rkill.exe

  • Double-click on the Rkill desktop icon to run the tool.
  • If using Vista or Windows 7 right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator.
  • A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
  • If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.
  • If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.
  • Do not reboot until instructed.
  • If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.

Once you've gotten one of them to run, immediately run your_name.exe by double clicking on it.

If normal mode still doesn't work, run BOTH tools from safe mode.

In case #2, please post BOTH logs, rKill and Combofix.

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

I'm trying to post the event viewer messages from past week from the attach.txt file but it is way too long from all the failed windows updates. I will continue with the steps you suggested.
 
crash

I just got a blue screen and crash while running combofix.
Here is the aswMBR.txt:

Now i'm getting a blue screen and crash as soon as the desktop loads in normal mode. I rebooted in safe mode.
 
I ran ComboFix in safe mode. It made it through all the steps and then said it was restarting windows. Once restarted combofix said it was preparing the log when I got the blue screen and crash again with a message something like:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL
 
Please Boot to the System Recovery Options
If you have Windows 7 installation disc, just insert a DVD to the drive, restart computer and it should load automatically (option two presented in the article).
It's possible also that your computer has a pre-installed recovery partition instead - in such a case use a method one (by pressing F8 before Windows starts loading)...

On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options:

  • Startup Repair
  • System Restore
  • Windows Complete PC Restore
  • Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
  • Command Prompt

Choose Command Prompt
You should see X:\SOURCES>...

Execute the following commands in bold.
Press Enter after every one of them.

bootrec /fixmbr (<--- there is a "space" after "bootrec")

exit
 
Actually after pressing F8 and getting to the boot options I went to startup repair which has the options you mentioned above including command prompt.
 
I think the command prompt showed
C:/windows/system32
or D or X, i can't remember.

I typed the command you suggested which completed successfuly.
Upon restart it only got as far as the starting windows screen before it crashed.
I opened startup repair which is asking if I want the restore the computer to an earlier time using System Restore.
 
startup repair has failed twice now and I can't boot to safe mode anymore.

I don't know much about what is going on so I was hoping you could enlighten me. At this point is wiping my hard drives (raid 0) my only option?
 
Try the process from my reply #13 one more time.

If still same issue.....

Let's see, if we can look at your computer booting from an external source.

Please download OTLPE (filesize 120,9 MB)

  • When downloaded double click on OTLPENet.exe and make sure there is a blank CD in your CD drive. This will automatically create a bootable CD.
  • Reboot your system using the boot CD you just created.
    • Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps HERE
  • Your system should now display a REATOGO-X-PE desktop.
  • Depending on your type of internet connection, you should be able to get online as well so you can access this topic more easily.
  • Double-click on the OTLPE icon.
  • When asked Do you wish to load the remote registry, select Yes
  • When asked Do you wish to load remote user profile(s) for scanning, select Yes
  • Ensure the box Automatically Load All Remaining Users" is checked and press OK
  • OTL should now start.
  • Press Run Scan to start the scan.
  • When finished, the file will be saved in drive C:\OTL.txt
  • Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system
  • Please post the contents of the OTL.txt file in your reply.
 
okay I just clicked on the OTLPE icon and a browse for folder box came up wanting me to select a windows directory. I'm assuming I want System Reserved (C:) which contains 2 folders Boot and System Volume Information. I just want to check what folder to select. I apologize for being ignorant. Thank you so much for all your help!
