This is a continuation from this link:https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic122016.html when I was suspected of having an infecction/virus that doesn't let me open my downloaded applications when unziping from IZarc archive utility.
this is what pops up "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" I already tried my admin account session.
I uninstalled all these before the scans and the only things I left were avira and mcafee antivirus programs.
Uninstalled:
Spybot-S&D
PC Tools Firewall Plus
Comodo BOClean
Comodo Memory Firewall
ZoneAlarm

Not good to have both Avira and McAfee.
Then you may have residual damage from having both Comodo and Zone Alarm and PCTools Firewall.
And of course there is not much real good in Spybot.
Your system is working properly now, I assume. Just to be sure, you might want to run the full, long time scan, rather than the quick scans... and run them again in Safemode.

Then do a defragmentation.
 
Is your system in fact working normally now?

Lets clean the Malware but you have a system permissions issue which we will handle when clean.

You did not remove the Malware found by MBAM ("No action taken") so UPDATE and run it again this time remove the found items.

Do this..

Update then run SAS
Click Preferences-Repairs
Then counting down from top do the following entries

Numbers 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15,18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26 and 27!

Reboot!

Then continue here do the below..

Download SDFix to Desktop.

http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.exe

On Desktop run SDdFix It will run (install) then close.

Then reboot into Safe Mode

As the computer starts up, tap the F8 key several times.

On the Boot menu Choose Safe Mode.

Click thu all the prompts to get to desktop.

At Desktop
My Computer C: drive. Double-click to open.

Look for a folder called SD Fix. Double-click to enter SD Fix.

Double-click to RunThis.bat. Type Y to begin.

SD Fix does its job.

When prompted hit the enter key to restart the computer

Your computer will reboot.

On normal restart the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then say Finished,
Hit the Enter key to end the script and load your desktop icons.

Once the desktop is up, the SDFix report will open on screen and also be saved to the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
Attach the Report.txt file to your next post.
=========================================
Download ComboFix

NOTE: If you have had ComboFix more than a few days old delete and re-download.

Get it here: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5587-combofix.html
Or here: http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe

Double click combofix.exe follow the prompts.

Install Recovery Console if connected to the Internet!

When finished, it will open a log.
Attach the log and a new HJT log in your next reply.

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

my system is not working normal. is there hope?all the steps were followed. i need to install my motherboard's driver or the video card is practically useless

and i was able to download a recovery console but i have no clue were to save it
 
The Recovery console should now be seen if installed on the next reboot.

We do not need it at this time.

You are clear of Malware what is left is system configuration etc!

Now what I want to know is what does not work so I can address it.

Give me a status report now that you are clean of what is left!

Remember I am not there so details.

Mike
 
ok. what im trying to do is open a driver i downloaded from ecs.com wich is for my motherboard.but i double click on it and the sandclock shows for a second and nothing happens after. the application im using to download is IZar equivalent to WINrar archiver.i have the driver's setup icon on my desktop but when i double click it a sandclock shows for a second and nothing else happens.
i guess this driver is supposed to reconfigure my onboard video card, which was disconfigured when i opened google earth while watching a youtube video.
 
You are using IZarc! It is the best. I have used it for years.

But first before we address that problem are you saying this is it, this is the only problem with the computer.

Mike
 
OK first uninstall IZArc to be sure it is not damaged or corupted!

Then download the new one from here:http://www.izarc.org/download.html

When the install asks about File associations (what zip rar etc) to handle select all!

Now open the Driver file and in top bar of IZarc chose Extract. Notice the Extract location.

Exit IZarc and go to that extracted location and attempt to run the program.

If this does not work get me the name/Model of your motherboard and the name of the download you have.

Mike
 
You have PC Tools Internet Security and Comodo Firewall installed at the same time
I would suggest un-install both

Then re-install Comodo, downloaded fresh again from Internet (or you could wait until you get all your drivers right first)
 
i uninstalled them before the instruction above so now i only have avira ands super anti spyware.ill install comodo again once im done with this issue. so for now ill continue with this part:

now IZarc extracted everything to desktop and made a file called sis660, i double click it and these are the archives it contains:
data1.cab
engine32.cab
setup.boot
setup.inx
data1.hdr
layout.bin
setup.exe
setup.iss
data2.cab
readme.txt
setup.ini
the first thing i did was double click on setup.exe and it shows a rectangular message window that says: VGA Package (header) and inside it says:UseDLL failed. Couldn't load C:\Documents\administrator\desktop\sis660\WinXP_2K\SisBase.dll : i clicked Accept.Then...
Another smaller message box appears, also says VGA Package on the header and inside it says: UseDLL failed. Couldn't load SisParse.dll :i clicked Accept : and another rectangular message appears that says Sis VGA Utiliies on it's header and inside it says:"Check that has been completed any previous installation and close all other applications'' i click Accept and everything closes but the sis660 file.
 
Go back to you Mother board Mfg site and confirm you have the correct and latest driver for that motheboard.

Also look in Add/Remove programs and uninstall anything related to this driver. Then browse thu Program files and look for any folder and delete it.

Mike
 
SIS660 is a driver problem. You need to search for and install the latest, or perhaps a previous version of the drivers.
 
i know its a driver problem but now i would like to know wich driver is the one i have to download for my motherboard from the ECS page above. can anyone help me with this?im a pc noob
 
I see no Sound card drivers on that site. Is your sound card in a slot or built onto the motherboard.

Look in the manual and get info on Audio/Sound etc and do you have CD that came with computer?

Mike
 
its an onboard video card and i never got any installation cd's for anything. it was put together by a pc technician according to the price we agreed. but i never thought i would need cd's for anything.
this is what i have:

https://www.techspot.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=43132&d=1234368621
this started because i was watching youtube video and opened google earth and i think the acceleration went down and now google earth restarts my pc. so microsoft recommended to download the latest driver or decrease acceleration and i don't want to lower it even more.
 
ok, it works! thx alot Mike & TS crew. i can now work with google earth again.you guys saved me alot of money! :)
you guys are great! :)
