Hello Dazzler82 Welcome to the TSF Virus/Trojan/Spyware Help forum. I will be assisting you in cleaning up your system.


I ask that you refrain from running tools other than those we suggest while we are cleaning up your computer. The reason for this is so we know what is going on with the machine at any time. Some programs can interfere with others and hamper the recovery process.




After 3 days if a topic is not replied to we assume it has been abandoned and it is closed.


I need for you to post both the DDS logs and the one from GMER which you should have before we can proceed as was shown in the instruction page.


We will proceed when you have those up for me to look at.






Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for your quick reply. I have the dds logs done but not uploaded them. I have tried to follow the instructions to get a log for the gmer however i am unsuccessful in doing this in safe mode. Have just checked the screen shot and find there is a save option underneath scan,copy. I cant seem to get to this in safe mode as no side scroll bar is located. I will run full and save a copy. Every time I go to normal windows it takes a while to get anywhere because of virus scanning, uploading/and or spyware. I will do this hopefully tonight if not it will be first thing tomorrow.

Thank you for your help and I appreciate your patience.

Regards

Adi

Evening :)

On general web browseing last night i think google chrome blocked an add from alliance and liecster - english bank and virgin I think. However at the minute i have searched for random things and no pop ups. Still experiencing 3 pop ups at a time from avira anti virus for the spy.ambler.j and symantec kicks in about 10 minutes later...shows how rubbish it is!

Cheers

Oops, I'm glad you mentioned that. I forgot to bring it up. Having 2 AVs on your system can cause more harm than good because they will often interfere with each other and can cause slow down and even lockup your computer.

I think I know which of your AVs you prefer from what you posted above so I would suggest you uninstall the Symantec. It can be a pain to get rid of sometime so let me know how it goes.
 
#12 ·
Hmmmm. For some reason my email message from my PDA hasnt come through. Very sorry.

I wrote after my last message, as to what you suggested doing next? I wrote an email to your reply which i received at 6:37am GMT - London 30 minutes later and can see that has not been posted on here.

So yes I'm still here and still have a poorly laptop. However good news is, I've finally got the beast of a desktop top built. :)

Morning
Avira anti Virus still picls up the Trojan about three different warning pop ups from Avira anti virus ever 15 seconds. Symantec kicks in about 10 minutes after. Can't remove symantec as its a works laptop and it is a requirement to have this installed when you connect to works network. So I have removed avira and symantec auto protect kicks in yet again ages into web browsing, brining up multi attempts of the trojan which i presume is to gain access to the registry. This is still suggests that there's still something here.

Cheers

Please download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Instruction can be found HERE
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Image


Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it will produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
