Hi Cypher,

I ran junc.bat. The command prompt window popped up and it just stayed on the screen. I couldn't type in the box. It was just open. So, I tried running OTL again and then junc.bat. Same error from junc.bat. I attached the OTL log and junc log.

Hi rjmc,
Please delete the copy of ComboFix on your desktop if it's still there, then download a fresh copy from Here
Now disable your AV as you did previously and run ComboFix again.
Post the resulting ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Hi Cypher,

Thanks for all your help. So, I deleted the old ComboFix and downloaded the new one via the link. When I run it, it gets stuck on this file. C:\32788R22FWJFW\handle.XE. My options are to Abort, Retry or Ignore. Retry wouldn't work, so I ignored it. It continues extracting and then at the end before the window disappears, it says something about outputing 32788R22FWJFW. In the C: drive there's no ComboFix log, but there is a file named 32788R22FWJFW. I didn't click it, but when I highlight it, it says the file "shows the disk drives and hardware connected to this computer."

Hi rjmc,
Thanks for all your help.

You're welcome.
Boot into safe mode then try running ComboFix again, if successful post the log in your next reply.

Boot into Safe Mode

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.
  • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
  • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
  • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
  • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
  • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
  • Login on your usual account.

Hi Cypher,

I booted in safe mode and ran ComboFix. It said I was infected with Rootkit.ZeroAccess. After it was done, pc rebooted normally and this window popped up. It was a window with all this text. It said, "An unauthorized change was made to windows. Error OxC004D301. Security processor reported that the trusted data store was tampered. Windows has discovered a change that will result in limited windows functionality. Ust the link below to find out how to fix Windows." I closed the screen and searched for the ComboFix log file. I didn't find one in C:/, but there was a ComboFix folder.

I ran ComboFix again like it told me to when I ran it in Safe Mode. It got stuck on this file. C:\32788R22FWJFW\pev.3xe. Same options as before, but before I could do anything a command prompt window popped up. It continued to run in the background and this is what it said. It never finished scanning. It got hung up after this.

This is was it said in ComboFix Command Prompt Window:
SED: can't read profiles.folder.dat: No such file or directory
SED: can't read appdata.folder.dat: No such file or directory
SED: can't read appdata.folder.dat: No such file or directory

SED: can't read Profiles.folder.dat: No such file or directory
SED: can't read Desktop.folder.dat: No such file or directory
SED: can't read Startup.folder.dat: No such file or directory

I closed all the windows to see how the pc was running. I can't open control panels. This was the last thing that popped up on the screen. (see below)

WIndows Activation
Activate Windows now
Your activation period has expired. You must activate Windows to continue using all Windows features.

Activate Windows online now
Buy a new product key
Retype your product key
Show me other ways to activate

I don't know if that's a virus, so I just closed the window. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi rjmc,
Do you have the vista installation disk that came with your computer, or did Vista come pre-installed?

Lets try to get another Junction scan, if the previous junc.bat is still on your desktop delete it then do the following.

  • Copy all text in the quote box (below)...to Notepad, Do not include the word Quote:
    @ECHO OFF
    cd c:\
    junction -s c:\>log.txt
    start log.txt
    del %0
  • Save it to your desktop as File name: junc.bat.
  • Save as type: All Files.
    Image
    junc.bat<<------------- you should see this on your desktop.
  • Right click on junc.bat and select " Run as administrator " to execute it.
    A black CMD window will flash, then disappear...this is normal.
  • A file should appear on your Desktop. Please post the contents of this file.

Logs/Information to Post in your Next Reply

  • Do you have the vista installation disk?
  • junction log.

Hi Cypher,

I don't have the installation disk, cuz Vista came pre-installed.

junc.bat won't run either. The black window pops up and stays on the screen. Nothing happens after that. Looks like I'm screwed, huh?

You have a HP computer does it have a Recovery Partition?

When the black screen pops up it may look like nothing is happening but it is scanning you computer.
How long did you wait for? the scan can take some time to run.

Hi Cypher,

Yes, I do have a HP and yes it has a Recovery Partition.

When the black screen popped up, I let it sit for 6 hours and nothing changed. I can do it again tonight and let it sit all night to see if anything changes in the morning.

No it shouldn't take that long to run, it usually takes less than 10 minutes.
Yes, I do have a HP and yes it has a Recovery Partition.

You computer is infected with the ZeroAccess Rootkit, it has the ability to protect itself by blocking all removal attempts.
My fear is by continuing to try and remove this infection, it may render your computer unbootable, this can happen.
As you have a Recovery Partition the quickest and safest option now would be to reformat your computer.
We can keep trying to remove the infection but the decision is yours.
Please let me know what you would like to do.

Hi Cypher,

Reformatting seems like the best option. I've never reformatted from a Recovery Partition, can you give me instructions please?

Hi rjmc,

Yes no problem it's a simple procedure.
Click Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > then Recovery Manager again.
This should bring up the recovery options, click on System Recovery to restore your computer to it's original factory state.
You can also find instructions by clicking Here

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

As this issue will be resolved with a reformat, and there have been no further questions posted regarding that process, this topic is now closed.
