Hi, I may be doing this wrong but I cannot get that file/path into the white box. I tried to copy and paste c:\docume~1\Jeff\LOCALS~1\Temp\irasl2tp.sys but when I paste it into the white box it takes me straight to the browse window and it can't find that file. Please advise.

Hi.
In this case just use browse to navigate to the file using the file path as a reference.

Hi, I tried that already and can't find such a path to that file. I've searched C Drive and can't find a file with that name or even one similar. I searched for a file namedirasl2tp.sys and found nothing. Am I missing something obvious here??

Hi jefftallica.
Your logs look good now but we need to run another scan to check for leftovers.
You have an outdated version of Adobe Reader so lets update that to.

Update Adobe Reader

  • You should Download and Install the newest version of Adobe Reader for reading pdf files.
  • Older versions may have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
  • Go Here to download and install Adobe Reader X (10.0.1).
  • Note: remember to Uncheck Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus (optional)

Next.

Please download ATF Cleaner to your desktop.

  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  • Under Main choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browser
  • Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browser
  • Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

Next.

Disable Avast
  • Right click on the avast! icon in system tray (looks like this: Image) and choose (Avast shield control)
  • Chose disable permanently.

Hi.

Cracked/Keygen related software detected!!!

While going through your logs I found out that you have downloaded various keygen/cracked software and that you are actively using it.
Our forum policy Here says we will not help people who use cracked or pirated software.
You likely got infected by using cracked software or visiting crack sites.
Hence, i would like you to remove all the crack/keygen applications that are present on your system, then run CKScanner again and post the new log.

NOTE: If you give me advice that the software/Keygens have been removed & I find it has not (the tools we use can & will detect it) then I will have no choice but to have this thread closed.

Sorry. Please tell me what is cracked. I see Nero in the list as well as easy cd and apollodivx, I have paid for Nero and so don't know which programs/parts of programs need removing. I will remove all of the software you request. I need to know what has to be removed as I don't wish to accidentally leave anything that should not be there.

Thanks.

Hi.
I have paid for Nero and so don't know which programs/parts of programs need removing.

The log shows clearly that your version of nero 7 premium is cracked so i would like you to remove it.
c:\documents and settings\jeff\desktop\xhd\store&save\software\nero 7 premium reloaded 7.10.1.0_eng (+keygen)\torrent downloaded from demonoid.com.txt

I also need you to remove easy.cd.and.dvd.cover.creator and apollo divx to dvd creator.
