Solved Virus: Windows has encountered a critical problem

[Spenceley]

Whenever I log in to my user account now I get the message

"windows has encountered a critical problem and will restart automatically in one minute. Please save your work now."

It's really frustrating me and I'd appreciate help removing this as soon as possible

Cheers,
Sam

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

NOTE: If you have WINDOWS XP, please do not continue below. Just reply back and let me know, as there is a different route to take in this case.

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to a flash drive.


Depending on your type of system, you will have to select 32-bit or 64-bit accordingly. How do I tell?

Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.

Enter System Recovery Options.

To enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:

• Restart the computer.
• As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears.
• Use the arrow keys to select the Repair your computer menu item.
• Choose your language settings, and then click Next.
• Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
• Select your user account and click Next.

To enter System Recovery Options by using Windows installation disc:

• Insert the installation disc.
• Restart your computer.
• If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc. If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or DVD, check your BIOS settings.
• Click Repair your computer.
• Choose your language settings, and then click Next.
• Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
• Select your user account an click Next.

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
• Select Command Prompt
• In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.
• The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
• Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
• In the command window type e:\frst.exe and press Enter
  Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
• The tool will start to run.
• When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.
• Place a check next to List Drivers MD5 as well as the default check marks that are already there
• Press Scan button. It will do its scan and save a log on your flash drive.
• Close out of the message after that, then type in the text services.exe in to the "Search:" text box. Then, press the Search file(s) button, just as below:
  
  
  
  When done searching, FRST makes a log, Search.txt, on the C:\ drive or on your flash drive.
• Type exit in the Command Prompt window and reboot the computer normally
• FRST will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive and also the search.txt logfile, please copy and paste the logs in your reply.

Hi. I managed to get a system restore courtesy of windows start-up repair and have downloaded and run both sophos and malwarebytes, both of which found and removed some files.

Would you recommend that I go ahead with this fix anyway? And If so can it be performed from the computer that had the problem?

Sorry for messing around,

Sam

 

[Jay Pfoutz]

Sometimes System Restore cannot fully fix the problem, especially if the virus/malware affected objects not covered with System Restore's policies.

Hmm...try the following in Normal Mode, please:

ComboFix

Please download ComboFix

by sUBs
From BleepingComputer.com

Please save the file to your Desktop, but rename it first to svchost.exe

Important information about ComboFix

Before the download:

• Please copy and paste these instructions to Notepad and save to your Desktop, or print them - for easier access.
• It is important to rename ComboFix before the download.
• Please do not rename ComboFix to other names, but only the one indicated.

After the download:

• Close any open browsers.
• 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". Please visit here if you don't know how.
• 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.

Running ComboFix:

• Double click on svchost.exe & follow the prompts.
• It will attempt to install the Recovery Console:

• When ComboFix finishes, it will produce a report for you.
• Please post the "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" in your next reply.

Troubleshooting ComboFix

Safe Mode:

If you still cannot get ComboFix to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

(To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows
logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode.")

Re-downloading:

If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but try to download it again, except name
ComboFix.exe to iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, or winlogon.exe.

Malware is known for blocking all "user" processes, except for its whitelist of system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe.

NOTE: If you encounter a message "illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion" and no programs will run - please just reboot and that will resolve that error.

Cool thanks. The programme said that microsoft security essentials was still active but I couldn't find it in the control panel programmes list or any of the files on my C drive so I ran it anyway. This was the report:

Also I'm having some trouble posting to this forum. Whenever I type in the box, it freezes up and IE has to restart, I had to copy and paste this from notepad. Don't know if that was worth mentioning or not, just a further level of frustration

 

[Jay Pfoutz]

Sorry that's happening. What all problems are currently occurring?

 

[Spenceley]

As far as I can tell it only happened on this site. And it seems to have stopped now. Everything else is running fine, haven't noticed any other problems

 

[Jay Pfoutz]

Hi! Your logs appear to be clean. If there are no more issues, then we shall finish up!

Clean up System Restore

Now, to get you off to a clean start, we will be creating a new Restore Point, then clearing the old ones to make sure you do not get reinfected, in case you need to "restore back."

To manually create a new Restore Point

• Select System
• On the left select Advance System Settings and accept the warning if you get one
• Select System Protection Tab

• Type in a name I.e. Clean
• Select Create

Now we can purge the infected ones

• Go back to the System and Maintenance page
• Select Performance Information and Tools
• On the left select Open Disk Cleanup
• Select Files from all users and accept the warning if you get one
• In the drop down box select your main drive I.e. C
• For a few moments the system will make some calculations:
  
  
• Select the More Options tab
  
  
• In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
  
  
• Select Delete on the pop up
• Select OK
• Select Delete

Run OTC to remove our tools

To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created, please do the following:
Please download OTC.exe by OldTimer:

• Save it to your Desktop.
• Double click OTC.exe.
• Click the CleanUp! button.
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

Note: If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.

Purge old temporary files

Download CCleaner Slim and save it to your Desktop - Alternate download link

When the file has been saved, go to your Desktop and double-click on ccsetupxxx_slim.exe
Follow the prompts to install the program.

* Double-click the CCleaner shortcut on the desktop to start the program.
* Click on the Options block on the left, then choose Cookies.

* Click Cleaner on the left then Run Cleaner on the right to run the program.
* Important: Make sure that ALL browser windows are closed before selecting Run Cleaner

Caution: Only use the Registry feature if you are very familiar with the registry.
Always back up your registry before making any changes. Exit CCleaner after it has completed it's process.

Security Check

Please download Security Check by screen317 from SpywareInfoforum.org or Changelog.fr.
