threatware virus encrypted my thumb drive

i don't have a computer. i just use public computers and backed everything up on an 8gb lexar hard drive. last week, after doing some research and saving some copy and pasted text files, i rebooted the PC because it was acting really slow. once it was back up and running, ALL of the files on my thumb drive turned to gibberish. when i tried looking into my folders, i noticed sub-folders that shouldn't be there and when i clicked on one, i saw a threatware (never even heard of that one before!) ad trying to get me to send money to decrypt my drive.

is there a way i can go to a hacker (tech... eg. geek squad) and have them purge the virus and decrypt my files? i can't even run an anti-virus scan if that's all it takes because i don't have a computer to run it on. i'm VERY stressed out about this as i have a year's worth of research on the drive as well as all of the Y7tM42#x+7ugWq^ type passwords i THOUGHT would keep me safe from hackers and can no longer access any of the email accounts i've had for 15 years by now!

is there a way i can recover my info, or all of my email etc. accounts and files gone forever?

My computer has been hacked

Hello,

According to Google's technicians my computer has been hacked by Russians! He detected a Zeus Trojan to be the culprit. He then proceeded to recommend that I contact a Microsoft Certified Networking Professional to solve the issue by doing such things like changing my IP or Gateway Default...not sure..but it is the one that the government assigns to each computer...the cost? $450 or $299 or $ 150 with only a 30 day warranty. I chose neither of the options..blah, blah, blah..obviously a selling job on his part. So now I am faced with this information...someone in Russia can get access to financial info etc... So after some research I found no other solution...maybe buy an Apple computer? Please, here in this forum is where I place my trust...what do you experts recommend? At the moment one thing that has obviously happened is that I can no longer access my gmail nor google voice.

Thanks a million.

I have several files I can not access that were not backed up. Some of them are excel or MS Access files. In the folders of these file are 3 new files

the files in these folders can not be opened as I assume are victims of the CYBERLOCK virus although I have not receive any sort of ransom request, at least yet any way
I have cleaned the computers but not able to open them, I don't want to mess with them to much as I am in hopes of recovering the data of especially a MS Access (.mdb) file.
is there anyone who provides the service of recovering these types of files.
I am in a bind with time to get this done on my own

Hi,

I have a Windows 7 laptop and the cursor is constantly blinking at a very fast rate, with the circle spinning . I have run Norton antivirus, Norton Power Eraser, AdAware and Malwarebytes. All came back with nothing found. Additionally, the computer is very slow and unresponsive, i.e. when typing.

Thank you for your assistance.

iexplore.exe keeps consuming memory on my PC.

coolmac76,
There certainly won't be any changes in behavior yet. We are just gathering information.

It appears excessive use of IE is being caused by lots of Cloud requests for services and updates.
The machine can likely be fixed, but it may involve removing some corporate software.
We don't normally work on Company machines for that reason. See here:
http://forums.techguy.org/virus-othe...e-posting.html

You have not given me the info I requested about who owns the machine, etc.

I notice some of your usage is caused by failed requests to a remote server while invoking SSL 3 encryption.
Since the issue below has surfaced, some sites may have disabled SSL3

If you have javascript disabled, there is a separate link to perform the test.

Firefox has an add-on to fix it.

Hi bunbarian,

AdwCleaner Download and Run

Download AdwCleaner and save it to your desktop or somewhere you can find it.
Take care NOT to click on any ad, like from PC Optimizer Pro. The correct link is the button labeled "Download from Bleeping Computer".
NOTE: If using Internet Explorer and you get an alert that stops the program downloading click on Tools > Smartscreen Filter > Turn off Smartscreen Filter then click on OK in the box that opens. Then click on the link again.

Close your browser and double click on this icon on your desktop:



You will then see the screen below. Click on the Scan button (as indicated), accept any prompts that appear and allow it to run.
It may take several minutes to complete.
When it is done, click on the Clean button, accept any prompts that appear and allow the system to Reboot.
You will then be presented with the report. Copy & Paste it into a reply here.


If you lose track of the log, it is saved in this folder C:\AdwCleaner\
The filename will be adwcleaner[xx].txt where [xx] will be S1, or S2, etc. whichever filename is newest.

---------------------------------------------
Download the OTL Scanner
Please download OTL.exe by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.
---------------------------------------------
Run a Scan with OTL
  • Right click the OTL icon and choose "Run as administrator" to run it.
  • Check the box at the top, labeled Include 64 bit scans
  • Check the boxes labeled :
    • Scan All Users
    • LOP check
    • Purity check
    • Extra Registry > Use SafeList
  • Make sure all other windows are closed to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Click on the Run Scan button at the top left hand corner. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL. (desktop)
OTL.txt will be open on your desktop, and Extras.txt will be minimized in your taskbar.
The Extras.txt file will only appear the very first time you run OTL.
Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post them as a reply. Use separate replies if more convenient.
---------------------------------------------------
So, In Your Replies, we will be looking for the following :
The contents of:

  • OTL.txt
  • Extras.txt
Please feel free to use separate replies.

Comment on "My IE 11 keeps resetting resetting proxy server"

$

This is more of a closing comment than a problem.

A friend brought over his Win8 laptop with ad pop ups, and after spending a day of continual cleaning by everything out there AND with help from your (closed) thread ("My IE 11 keeps resetting resetting proxy server"), the problem kept resurfacing.

Finally, I stumbled upon two directories in the ProgramData directory that didn't make sense - 'Diagnostic' and 'Display-Settings'... where the D-S caught my attention as a link in one of the popups, but nothing online found, nor mentioned, them at all.

Running a couple of the dll and exe files through jotti's site, it was confirmed these two were the culprits.

I zipped the two directories for backup (just in case), deleted the dirs, rebooted, then ran the cleaners listed in the articles (except for Spyhunter, which I feel is worthless), rebooted and launched the browsers...

All was well.

Now, a few days later, they're still free of the malware.

Thanks, guys!

Lastly, sfc determined that CFGMGR32.DLL was corrupt (sys 32 dir) but continually failed to fix.

ps.

The laptop's owner plays many online games, but not much else other than craigslist. I'll be working on his wife's laptop shortly- with the same problem- and will try to learn which site nailed them.

Cant remove webssearches--- HJT log included.

Hi guys,

1 of the kids was trying to install something called Show Box and has infected the laptop with the above.I've tried everything to get rid of it but it's still on here. When I ran SAS it didn't find it and when I run malwarebytes, it gets so far into the scan and the laptop restarts because it says it has encountered a problem. Also, programs are slow or not responding.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jimmy

It looks like you only posted the tail end of the FRST.txt log. Can you re-post this one? I did receive the Addition.txt one. Thanks.

Originally I had music playing in the background when I turned my sound on, but that is not happening anymore. Now I have received some messages saying that I am 'low on memory' and then ones that are asking me to run 'Windows Command Processor', sorry I don't have the exact message! I have run my virus software and it is not showing anything.
