You didn't answer my question, are you still having this issue with your computer as described below?

You will not have Internet access when you execute ComboFix. All open windows will need to be closed!

    This will cause ComboFix to run again.

  5. When finished ComboFix will create a log file... you can save this file to a convenient place.
Please copy/paste the ComboFix log file in your next reply.

Poker sites
Online Poker sites are well known for placing all manner of Internet parasites on their visitors' computers and continue to do so. In a lot of cases, these Poker plugins are also getting installed without your asking for it. You can read Poker gamers targeted by a rootkit backdoor regarding the risk involved with visiting the Poker games web sites. Some Poker sites are related to criminal offense, you can read them Sites charged with gambling offenses A safe alternatives is Pogo.com.

Optional Fix
This is a optional fix, please read the information carefully. If you are happy to uninstall Wild Tangent, please follow the instructions below.
I see you are using Wild Tangent. It is not malware, but is sometimes thought to bring malware along. Wild Tangent is a video game software company specializing in online games. It has even made a partnership with AOL to include itself as part of the AOL Instant Messenger for their AIM games section. The WildTangent Web Driver is their technology that allows you to play 3D games over the Internet. Although it is not technically considered spyware, it does have built in components to update itself and gather information about the computer system including:
  • Operating System Version
  • CPU Type and Speed
  • Memory Amount Video Card type and Driver Version
  • Sound Card type and Driver Version
  • DirectX Version Location that the Web Driver was installed from
  • It is also a MAJOR resource hog.
For more information,see WildTangent Removal Instructions and Help AND Inside Wild Tangent-Delivering High-End 3-D Content To A Web SiteNear You.

Unless you are an extremely avid games player, I recommend you uninstall Wild Tangent:

Uninstall Programs:
  • Click on start
  • Then Run
  • In the open text entry box please copy/paste appwiz.cpl Then click enter.
  • Press the "Remove" or "Change/Remove"...button to uninstall the following if present.
Poker Superstars III
Update Installer for WildTangent Games App (optional)
WildTangent Games (optional)
WildTangent Games App (Dell Games)(optional)

NOTE: Take care when answering any questions posed by an uninstaller. Some questions may be worded to deceive you into keeping the program.

Hi Alander,

I answered your question in the next post where I stated,

"I rebooted the computer and appear to have regained access to the internet. Here is my combo logfile:"....


To comment further, the computer does appear to be working properly and I'm not receiving virus alerts from Norton.

I see you have instructed me to use combo fix again. I'm reluctant to use this program again as it has not run properly on my system each time that I've used it. I noted a statement in my logfile regarding some aspect being incompatible with Windows 7. Also, I'm still receiving the warning about Mcafee scanner still running and potential conflict with the combo fix not running properly. We tried to remove mcafee completely but apparently have not done so. As I have stated, I do not have any backup/recovery disks so I do not think it would be prudent to run combo again until I can remove the conflict that's interfering with the combo fix program.

Can we address this issue again?
Is there a macafee registry item that needs to be removed?
Also, it looks like eset scanner is showing by computer to be virus free, is that correct?

thanks,
C

Hi Chr, your ESET logs and DDS logs appears to be clean

What Norton is detecting is the things we cleared up with combofix that were in C:\QooBox like what Norton detected the 1st time we ran combofix with the .vir extensions.

Combofix isn't malware, it is a highly specialised tool which can be recognized by anti virus programs by heuristic due to its nature. Please do not be alarmed and also do not use combofix without a trained helper's instructions as it may render your computer unbootable.

Congratulations... your computer now appears to be malware free! :)

If your computer does not automatically restart, please restart it manually.

    (This indicates System restore is turned ON for the Windows drive).

Hi Alander,

great news and thanks for all your help! I had one question regarding Windows Firewall and windows Defender--

I noticed in one of my logs that these were removed or disabled---Should the firewall be turned on? It's my understanding that running the windows firewall in combination with other anti-virus programs is not recommended. Am I okay just using Norton and Malwarebytes? If not, can you help me restore the windows firewall?

thanks,

C

Hi Chr,

your configuration of just Norton and Malwarebytes is fine. Your Norton suite contains a firewall, and you should only have 1 firewall running at any one time.
