I have a virus on my computer and can't get rid of it. I have scanned with AVG, Malwarebytes, and I have tried to scan with Spybot, but I cant get it to finish. I have run the scans in safe mode, as well as normal...and they don't find anything. Currently, my computer is all but useless in normal mode....freezes, hangs, can't get anything to open. I am at a loss. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Well, when you downloaded it, where did you put it?
It may be in your ...\downloads folder.

Unfortunately, I am unable to get my laptop past opening Chrome, so I am unable to download TSG SysInfo to give you a log. I was trying to do some recon on my Toshiba Satellite L855. It had started acting erratic a few months back, so I ran Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, but neither came up with anything that looked suspicious. I was still having issues with it, but I didn't really need to use it this semester, so I put it to the side for when I had time to try to work on it. Looking through the files under Control Panel/Programs, I came across a file called SavingsBullFilter. I tried to run uninstall, but was unable to have it removed from my files. I managed to come across a file in my Temp folder called InstallFilter64 and Isp2 that seem linked to SavingsBullFilter as the download/date modified are the same.

I have read several ways to remove SavingsBullFilter/InstallFilter64, but they all involve downloading programs that my laptop will not allow me to do.

Please help!!!!!!

Win 7 Freezes, No Malware, Posted HijackThis Log

Contrary to the administrator's post, my OS (Win 7; 64bit) continued to run, albiet with some continued crashes and screen freezes as before.

Further searching on the internet found an insidious hidden bit of malware or bad software called "PureHD" under the trade name of "Ulead". It either downloads surreptitiously with updates to Corel PaintShopPhoto Pro or possibly with Adobe Active X. I'm not sure. But others have noted that it causes conflicts and issues, so I looked for it on my HD.

Using the file/folder search, there were NO files or folders containing the names "PureHD" or "Ulead", however when I did a search of my registry (Run>>"regedit"), my registry was LOADED WITH lines of code containing these words. I've not been timid about editing and deleting stuff from my registry before and this was no exception since I was about to PUNT and reformat to "out-of-box" condition, which would mean about a day's work of reinstalling software and files.

Using the "regedit" "Find" feature (Edit>>Find), I searched first for "PureHD" (no quotes) and found around 60 or so entries. To make the task easier, I used 3 fingers: one on DELETE, one on ENTER and one on F3 key (that advances to the next item (DELETE, ENTER, F3...over and over). As I said, there were about 60 or so lines I deleted...it took forever. I then re-searched for the same "PureHD" to make sure I didn't miss any, and found a few that were missed. Next, I searched for "Ulead" and found even more, maybe 100. In fact in some places there were 40 consecutive lines containing "Ulead" so to save time, I highlighted the first entry then went to the last entry line and keyed "Shift+left mouse" to highlight the group, then DELETE, and continued the search.

In the "Find" window before starting your search, make sure "Keys, Values, and Data" are checked but NOT "Match whole string only".

Since this regedit several days ago, I am not getting ANY freezes BSoD, or "kaleidoscope" looking screens from any of my computer usage including internet videos, which were the tripwire for the problem. I"m not sure what "PureHD" was intended for, and don't care. I think it was to "help" display HD graphics on the monitor, but am not certain. Anyway, the problem seems to be solved FINALLY, without a reformat and even with deleting the "missing files" using "HyjackThis" as posted previously.

My HD and/or processor fan are not SCREAMING as before and I'm smiling!!

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else with similar issues with this.

Cheers,

malware popup on 1 website plus slowness sometimes

$

My issue is I get an error and popup from Avast saying that the page on qualtrics is harmful. I do paid survey's using qualtrics. The other issue is sometimes my computer bogs down and gets very slow, but I think that is from taking screenshots and pasting them into paint. I go into task manager and end processes on anything to do with Catalyst Control Center. I also have many scripts installed on firefox / chrome (actually deleted from chrome today) that has to do with the work I do online.

I scanned (full system) with Avast and malwarebytes last night. There were some 'locked' files that malwarebytes couldn't scan. They were under a hidden file on Drive C that had to do with installing flashplayer.

I personally think it's just an issue with the qualrics website because it doesn't happen all the time but you never know...

It happened just now so:

I knew I was in trouble when I jumped from Kmart's website to porn.


Buynsave, other ads popping up, words that send you to other pages when the cursor glides over...Chrome is virtually unusable. I thought my troubles would be solved when I found Buynsave in my installed programs and uninstalled it. Hardly.

Stalling internet connection


Dell 4600 desktop. XPS3


I’m hoping someone can help with a problem I’ve had with a windows xp machine for over a year now. My internet connection just stalls and I can’t load any pages for a few minutes and then it just starts again. My ISP says I’m not disconnecting from the internet and I get no notification of wires unplugged or reduced internet speed. I’ve tried a new ethernet adapter, different browsers, resetting the TCP stack, removed anti virus software and firewalls, and it still happens sometimes 3 times a day sometime 30 times a day. Anyone got any ideas?...I have noticed if I disable and then enable the internet connection it clears the fault until it reappears sometime later. I've posted below the log:

Hi,

I was browsing online on the Benjamin Moore site when I received a popup that my computer has been hacked by the Syrian Army and their logo also popped up. I can't seem to get anywhere since then. I ran a scan and no threats showed up. I am not sure what to do next. I don't see the pop up anymore but I pages are still stalling..

Samsung All-in-One PC Needs Help

Hi all,


I am writing regarding a PC that belongs to my niece and nephew. I came to visit for the Thanksgiving holiday and they wanted me to look at their PC. It had gobs of malware (I ran Malwarebytes Antimalware and Spyware Blaster 5.0). It had Avast antivirus installed; however, it hadn't been updated in over a year. There were numerous programs such as Optimizer, PC Speed Pro, etc. that the above programs found and cleaned. The browser is extremely slow and performance in general is terrible.


Windows Updated performed an auto update to 8.1. Here is the info from TSG SysInfo:


Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 8.1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220T CPU @ 2.80GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9
Processor Count: 4
RAM: 6032 Mb
Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics, -1984 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 452094 MB, Free - 393331 MB;
Motherboard: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., DP500A2D-A01UB
Antivirus: Windows Defender, Disabled


I was told that Avast Antivirus uninstalled itself, after a game was downloaded. I tried to install AVG antivirus but received an error (see attached file).


At this point, I'm uncertain what to do. I'm not terribly familiar with Windows 8 and wanted to ask for help before proceeding any further.


Thank you.........Shonda

Something must be interfering with Combofix. Turn Off all your security programs, close all windows and try again.

Remember to allow the application to run unhindered. Do not click on anything while it is running.

Pro PC Cleaner...cant remove

Congratulations.

We need to remove the tools we've used during cleaning your machine
  1. Download Delfix from here
  2. Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked
    Also tick:
    • Create registry backup
    • Purge system restore

  3. Click Run

Manually remove all other tools used.

Here are some suggestions.
  1. Always keep your JAVA updated. Older versions will make your computer vulnerable.
  2. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
  3. ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.
To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Miekiemoes.

Best wishes!
