I recently got a Spystorm infection and had the following (apparently typical) symptoms:
1. Desktop pic changed to the 'Warning: Spyware threat has been detected on your PC' screen
2. Frequent pop-ups from the task bar telling me vaious things are wrong, click here to download etc
3. Task manager has been disabled
4. Internet Explorer keeps opening with links to the aforementioned downloads
I went through the 15 suggested steps (which were difficult given my lack of computer savvy), but most of the processes were being blocked. I got Malwarebytes to run and then SDFix suddenly decided to work. After going through the 15 steps a second time, I think I took care of the problem. All of the symptoms appear to be alleviated, but I want to make sure I'm in the clear.
I've attached my MBAM, HJT, and ComboFix logs below as per the 15 suggestions list and can also post SDFix and SAS logs if necessary. Any help is greatly appreciated.
