Rename MBR.dat to MBR.txt and then try attaching it. Don't worry if you get a warning saying that the change of file type may make the file unreadable, I'll be able to read it OK.
MBR.dat

Nothing of any concern in either of those logs, have you run the GMER scan yet, if you have please post me the log. If not, please run the scan as instructed in my last post, then please post me the log.

That's the aswMBR log again, I need the GMER log ....

Download GMER to your Desktop. (It will have a randomly generated name, for example .... wjkl3ecz.exe)

  • Disconnect from the Internet, and close all running programmes.
  • There is a small chance this programme may crash your computer, so save any work you have open.
  • Double click on the randomly named GMER file (eg .... wjkl3ecz.exe) to launch GMER.
  • Let the gmer.sys driver load if asked.
  • If it gives you a warning at programme start about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run a scan ..... click OK.
  • If no warning:
    • Click Rootkit tab.
    • Ensure that All the boxes to the right of the program are checked except Show All.
    • Click Scan.
  • Do not use your computer while the scan is running.
  • Once scan is finished click Copy.
    • Click Start > Run then type Notepad.exe then click OK.
    • This will open a Notepad file.
    • Hit Ctrl+V to paste log into it.
    • Save the log to your Desktop.

Nothing of concern in your GMER log, however, after your PM to me, I'd like you to do the following please ....

Please download SystemLook from the link below and save it to your Desktop.

For 32 bit Systems

  • Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
  • Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:

:Reg
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services /s

  • Click the Look button to start the scan.
  • When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. It will be a large logfile, so please attach this log to your next reply.
Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt
too big to attach.
k.

OK, I can see what your problem is, but I can't see what is causing it.

Example ....

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\btnetfilter]
"Type"= 0x0000000020 (32)
"Start"= 0x0000000004 (4)
"ErrorControl"= 0x0000000000 (0)
"ImagePath"="%SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"
"DisplayName"="A88xEnc"
"ObjectName"="LocalSystem"
"Description"="New service would allow parents to control their children's online activity."



We could write a script to remove the various services, but to be honest there's so many of them, and it's just not possible to know exactly how else they all may be tied into your system. There's a good chance that we'd cause system instability if we just "yank them out".

My advice would be to back up your personal files and folders, then reformat your computer and re-install Windows.
I was afraid of that, I've managed to yank several infections from that old desktop. This one is to be to indepth... What would you suggest for backups, safest way, don't want to start fresh with this monkey on my back.
Anything that is not an executable file is generally safe to back up, so pictures, videos, music, and text files are usually pretty safe, as are bookmark/favorites lists, address books and stuff like that.

What make of computer do you have ?
I built this thing back in 2004 originally, MSI/AMD,it's an old 939 socket lol. But when clean she's still clocked pretty good. I noticed in a lot folders (including photos/music) there are "desktop.ini's" since the onset of this problem. Do I need to insure these stay out?
The desktop ini's are not likely to be targets for infection whether you need to back them up or not is up to you.

Since your machine is "home brewed", you'll have installed XP from a Windows installation disk, in which case the information on this page ... viewtopic.php?p=613842#p613842 ... may be of some help.
I have to say thanks for all your help, even if we didn't concur it. I think my next plan of action is to add two more sticks of RAM and get windows 7 64-bit (lol yes i game on 32-bit, sadly)... We can close her down :/
