Re: Deep spyware infections

Hi,

Looking much better but we have some more work to do.

WARNING -THIS MACHINE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECOVERY CONSOLE INSTALLED !!

Before we continue, you don't have Window's Recovery Console installed. Though it may not be needed at this time, current infections tend to patch a lot of critical system files now, these often result in multiple problems and sometimes, they can cause unbootable machines. Having Window's Recovery Console installed on your machine will help you and I in case something goes wrong while we are in the process of cleaning your machine.

Go to Microsoft's website => http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994
Select the download that's appropriate for your Operating System




Download the file & save it as it's originally named, next to ComboFix.exe.






Now close all open windows and programs, including all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • Drag the setup package onto ComboFix.exe and drop it.
  • Follow the prompts to start ComboFix and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Recovery Console.
  • At the next prompt, click 'Yes' to run the full ComboFix scan.


  • When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.
Please post the C:\ComboFix.txt .
