Potential Virus/Trojan Issues

9 min read

This thread's last reply is from April 10, 2010, 6:02 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

I had some issues today -- I somehow got infected with a rouge program that tried to get me to buy their software. It also redefined what happened when I run an EXE. That was removed and seems to be fixed, but I then started getting hit with something that would open up some advertising in IE whenever I opened up Firefox. I used Malbytes to remove it. Then, I noticed that it seems like my graphics card and certain programs are running slow. I appreciate any help you can give me very much.

Download and Run ComboFix
IMPORTANT NOTE: ComboFix is a VERY POWERFUL tool. DO NOT use it without guidance.
ComboFix uses very forceful tactics to remove malware from your system. Your antivirus software may warn you about the file.
You will need to disable all your antivirus software BEFORE running ComboFix!!
DISABLE MCAFEE SECURITY CENTER
Please navigate to the system tray and double-click the taskbar icon to open Security Center.
  • Click Advanced Menu (bottom mid-left).
  • Click Configure (left).
  • Click Computer & Files (top left).
  • VirusScan can be disabled in the right-hand module and set when it should resume or you can do that manually later on.
  • Do the same via Internet & Network for Firewall Plus.
  • Download ComboFix from here
  • Rename it while saving the download to zzz.exe and save it to your Desktop. Do not try to rename it after it has been saved to your desktop, or the infection may prevent you from using it.
    **Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop and run from the desktop, not from any other folder on your computer**
  • Now start ComboFix (zzz.exe)
  • The tool will check whether the Recovery Console is present on your system. If it is not, ComboFix will prompt you whether you would like to install it.
  • If it is not, make sure you are connected to the internet as ComboFix needs to download a file. When you are connected to the internet, click Yes and follow the prompts. When asked whether to continue scanning or to exit, click Yes to continue scanning (no need to disconnect from the internet as ComboFix breaks your internet connection for you).
  • Do not touch the computer AT ALL while ComboFix is running!
  • When finished, the report will open. Reenable your protection software and post the log in your next reply

A copy of the log will be located here -> C:\ComboFix.txt
If you cannot connect to the internet after running ComboFix, unplug the cable you use to connect to the internet and plug it back in.
