Hi,
The infections reported by Kaspersky are mostly in "E:\downloads\Finished Torrents\porn\othermovies" directory which indicates that you have been infected by the downloaded porn and other movies via torrents; most probably, the source of your problems.
I recommend that you remove
BitGrabber via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. It's usually bundled with the malware.
You can go ahead and delete Deckard's System Scanner and Combofix from your desktop now, if you haven't already.
Using Windows Explorer (right click on Start, click on Explore), navigate to locate and
delete the following
folders:
E:\downloads\Finished Torrents\porn\othermovies\
Programs ( If you have nothing you would like to keep, you can actually delete the whole
downloads folder.
C:\Program Files\
BitGrabber\ <== if you removed it.
C:\
Deckard
C:\
Qoobox
C:\
Combofix
E:\Windows Reboot\
SmitfraudFix.zip
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\
Quarantine<=== empty the contents of this folder, but not the folder itself.
D:\
RECYCLER <===== empty the contents of this folder, but not the folder itself.
====================================
Since
AVG Anti Spyware is a trial version, the realtime guard and automatic update will stop functioning after the trial period. That is why we are not installing the guard so it will not interfere with the cleanup or the malware removal process. You can use AVG-AS as an on-demand scanner (recommended) but you will have to manually update the definition file each time you scan.
Ccleaner is also a useful tool to keep for cleaning your cookies and temp files on a regular basis.
Create a new System Restore point to prevent reinfection from old restore points.
Go to
Start>Run and type
sysdm.cpl. Press Enter
- Select the System Restore Tab
- Place a check in "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
- Click Apply
- next, uncheck the same checkbox.
- Click Apply
- Click OK
You can also find instructions on how to disable and re enable system restore here:
Windows XP System Restore Guide
Enable Windows Auto Update- Go to Start>Run - type wuaucpl.cpl
- tick on the checkbox - "Automatically download the updates, and install them on the schedule that I specify".
- Click on "OK".
