Embedded infection in backup files, same issues return

Unread postby ADEPT » January 3rd, 2009, 4:02 pm

Hello and thanks for your help in advance.

I am using XP home on an older laptop with an external dvd+R burner and Ext HD. My backup files are on the Ext HD, but I can't find or identify the infection. I have reformatted my computer twice in hopes of narrowing down where the problem was but I've had no success, The malware must be reinfecting each new windows install. I would like to clean all my files and reformat, and learn more about what I need to do in order no to become infected again. Thanks again for any help you can give.
Ryan

Hi ADEPT,

Please tell me exactly why you believe your current installation is infected, also tell me what symptoms you are currently experiencing.

Download RSIT by random/random to your Desktop (right-click the link, select Save Target As..., select your Desktop and press Save)

  • Double click RSIT.exe to start the program, and click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  • When the scan is complete, two text files will open - log.txt <- this one will be maximized and info.txt <-this one will be minimized
  • Make sure Format->Word Wrap is unchecked
  • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of log.txt and info.txt in your reply

Once complete, please post both RSIT logs, you won't need to produce a new HijackThis log as RSIT produces one for you.
