I'm dealing with a PC that a user's husband manage to infect in his search for "Gundam fan stuff"

This looks like the standard "your PC is infected click here to fix it" popup. I've seen these before a usually never took more than 3h to remove. This one is really persistent and I'm almost leaning towards just reinstalling Windows.

These popups are even happening in Safemode.

So far I've trued the following

Disabled system restore and purged all restore data.

I removed the AV that was installed and installed the new AVG and manually updated it. Scanned and found objects, removed them. rescanning finds nothing

Installed MalwareBytes and updated to latest version. Scanning in safemode always locates stuff, I remove it and reboot but it always comes back after a few minutes.

Installed Windows Defender (getting desperate) scanned and located objects, removed them and restarted. still comes back.

Any suggestions?
 
Try booting off a live cd and running some a/v that way infected system files can be properly cleaned. I know UBCD4win can build boot disks with a/v built in. Just make sure you build the disk on a clean system.

I'll try that after I try what morrison wrote.

I would use:

1. Combofix http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
2. Super antispyware http://www.superantispyware.com/

and if its at all possablie, I would remove the HDD from the computer and install as a slave onto a different PC and scan it that way.

I'll try those.

I would have already scanned the HDD in another system if I had the adapter.... I asked for one but they said it "wasn't necessary".

Anyway I have a hijackthis log incase anyone sees anything glaringly obvious.

i'm gonna go through your hijack this log right now...
 
Would it be useful to see my combofix log?

You can Remove those - other than that your log is clean from hijackthis - but your Explore.exe looks suspecious, cause normaly its not written .EXE and not with a big E in explore.

If you got other scanning logs, please post em.

I don't see anything suspicious
 
You can Remove those - other than that your log is clean from hijackthis - but your Explore.exe looks suspecious, cause normaly its not written .EXE and not with a big E in explore.

If you got other scanning logs, please post em.

I've removed the entries you mentioned. I noticed the .EXE extension on Explorer also but I'm not sure what to do about it.
 
That thing is a sum-bitch man. We had the rip into our networks at my job. Nothing at first could get rid of it. However we did find something. Download the Microsoft Onecare demo. It was the only thing that fixed it. Fast too.
 
Try download Spybot - search and destroy, update it and immunize and scan.
After that, reboot, scan with it again, and when thats done, scan with avg - post a log if it makes one.

That wont work with this one.
 
Try running AutoRuns and see what is attached to Explorer, Processes Explorer is nice to have too.

Yes, you can read about it here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

Great little tool put out by SysInternals, it will tell you every dll and extension that is attached to the critical processes of Windows, and a whole lot more. You can then disable them, without deleting them, to see what is causing your problem. When you narrow it down, you can then just delete it.

I just PMed you a link. That thing is NASTY what you got. Nice job :laugh:

Definitely, I've seen it way to much on customer machines. I real pain in the ass to get rid of, especially if you get one of the varients that blocks most cleaning tools from even running...
 
FYI if you're running VIsta you will have to download the demo. The web based scanner kinda sucks for Onecare.
 
Its an XP machine.

This one hasnt blocked anything from running.. usually they do. This one lets everything run and if it gets caught it just doesnt get removed.. nothing has removed it and almost all scanners find something in the system.

Its up to you then. Personally I like the demo more than the browser scan. You can always uninstall it ya know :toast:

Yeah this thing is a work of art. No doubt.

Im about 99% sure the issue was resolved with running SuperAntiSpyware and Microsoft One Care. I didnt try Spybot so I dont know if it would have worked.

This virus was impervious to AVG, MalwareBytes, ComboFix, Vundo fix, and a host of other things I tried.


I hate Malware.. but it keeps me busy.

:toast:
 
yea, avg dosnt really help alot, other than slowing down your computer i

If i were you id use NOD32 its the best av around has been for years, it has no notisable inpact on your system preformance eather.

Use Superantispy free edition with NOD32, you wont regret it
 
If malwarebytes cant remove it, good luck.. lol

I've had only good experiences wtih AVG. If AVG had been the main AV installed before the Virus came along I'm confident it would have prevented the infection.

It's not the best as a pure removal tool, but it works for prevention.

I wouldnt trust it, After Working in the IT industry as a technician i can tell you with full
confordence that its crap, the amount of people that come in with fully infested computers that have AVG is alot more than any other av.
also when avg8 came out the amount of calls we got saying my computers broke or my computers going very slow, the first thing id do was to check to make sure they wernt using AVG 8, if they were id uninstall it and at least 90% of the time it would be running good again.

All in All avg is bad, it lets way to many viruses through and criples some computers, its overheads are too high,
If you want a good AV download the demo of Nod32 and give it a go, trust me, im not just writing this for fun im trying to help you. At least read the reviews on nod32

Remember you pay penuts, youll get monkeys
