Hi everybody.

First of all,I am here for two reasons: need help (obviously) but also because i am starting learning english .(so any occasion is good to practice).

History:

1/ Fresh installed a W10 Tech Preview.

2/ (stupidly) used a kms to activate a Microsoft Office. => get PUP.KMSpico

3/ tried to remove with Malwarebyte + AdwCleaner =>fail

4/ second mistake: I used for the first time "YetAnotherCleaner" => get PUP.YetAnotherCleaner + PUP.SoftwareEngine

5/ Tried then Junk Removal tool + RKill +TdssKiller =>fail (again).And it seems that TdssK is not yet compatible with W10 TP.

i'm not sure we're going to have time to do this, as we need to get the customer up and running asap. this is a raid array with the os mirrored and the data striped. it is not my job, i am consulting on this one, so was just looking for experience and advice on this one. i am going to look for that file and we are keeping the encrypted files, or some of them, for future reference, but i don't have time to pull an image to reverse engineer anything. on server 2012, what folders would i grab if i had to take a guess where it may be? i have about 15 - 20 minutes to copy some things if i knew what to get. thanx for the help.

I think it most likely that MSRT is finding a dead remnant of the Alureon infection but to be sure let's have another look.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool from here and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Right click to run as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will produce a log called (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please copy and paste log back here.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please also paste that into your reply.

I use direct Lan connection in my PC, but for last few days Im noticing that my internet is not opening when Im clicking on the browser(Google Chrome), its showing an error. I talked to the helpline and they suggested me to to open my default browser(Internet Explorer) and go to Tools>Connection>Lan Setting>Disable Proxy option. I did it as per his direction and then I got internet access.

But now when Im opening my browser, I have to follow the same above process(i.e. Tools>Connection>Lan Setting>Disable Proxy option) to get internet access. Can anyone suggest me how to get rid of this problem to get my internet access normally by opening any browser?

General Question about a Virus

$

My question is if you have a virus on your computer can you tell if it is streaming in the background and can you tell which websites the virus or viruses are trying to open. My computer has a virus on it at work and it is being reported (allegedly) to my boss that I am opening up websites that I shouldn't be opening at work and the IT department cannot tell if it is me opening the sites or the virus on my computer. The IT department cleaned my computer last week and removed over 500 viruses so they claim off of my computer, I got it back Tuesday of this week, and someone from the IT department had to come and get it again this morning because they claimed it has more viruses. The head of the IT department has reported to my supervisor that my computer has accessed websites that shouldn't be accessed and he cannot tell if it is the virus or me doing the accessing, he is also reporting that I am either the #1 person streaming in my county or in the top 5 people steaming each month. I am not in my office a majority of the month due to traveling for my job. So my question is "Can you tell what sites a virus on a computer accesses from websites that the actual user is accessing.

Thanks for any help you can give. I misspelled a site and ended up with something running on my computer without my permission. It installed something called keepmysettings.exe, Yahoo toolbar and slowpcfighter.exe. I started scanning right away, I have a log from malwarebytes, hijackthis which was able to run and give a log file but was denied access to hosts, I've run Spywarehunter but didn't have the funds to register it at this time so it didn't help but to verify that there is some malware in my computer, I ran super antispyware, found I think it said about 75 infections, cleaned them, but the yahoo page is still there. My browser will open to the right start page, but as soon as I hit the + for a new tab it opens at the yahoo page. I checked IE as well and it is saying that an unknown program is trying to change my startpage, so both IE and Firefox are effected. I've had to reinstall Adobe flash 3 times, I've tried to go to the adobe settings page to remove flash cookies, only to find that it couldn't find the flash. If you can help I would appreciate it, I've done all I know how and I'm trying not to have to do a clean install if I can help it. Also Zonealarm didn't find anything at all, but I did locate those programs in application control settings and set kill on each one, but nothing is working.

still got more to do

Delete any existing cfscript.txt on desktop or downloads folder

Download the attached CFScript.txt and save it to your desktop or the same folder that you downloaded combofix to originally ( click on the link underneath this post & if you are using internet explorer when the "File download" pop up comes press SAVE and choose desktop in the list of selections in that window & press save)

Disable any antivirus/antimalware/firewall realtime protection or script blocking in the same way you did previously before running combofix & remember to re-enable it when it has finished

Close any open browsers
Then drag the CFScript.txt into the ComboFix.exe or renamed combofix icon as shown in the screenshot below.







This will start ComboFix again. It may ask to reboot. Post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply .


Note: these instructions and script were created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these instructions or use this script as it could damage the workings of your system and will not fix your problem. If you have a similar problem start your own topic in the malware fixing forum

Computer is running extremely slow. We were prompted to enter Admin password after waking computer in the morning, shut down the computer after we noticed how slow it was running and suspected someone had gotten in. At shutdown, message received that "other users were logged in and may lose work if we continue shutdown."

Unwanted links in mmy webpage

I originally posted this problem in the Web development formen. They believed this may be a "Browser Hijacking" problem and suggested I re-post here.

I just completed my annual Christmas web page and uploaded it to my site. After reviewing it in Firefox I discovered several text items (key words like "Answer" and NFL team names) were converted to links the result in pop-up ads.where I did not so specify. Aside from my just not wanting that done, the color change with the unspecified link causes the text to be somewhat unreadable, given the background color I use for the page.

Do you have any suggestions how I work around or fix this problem

Hijacked browser Yahoo opens, not google.com

click.cpvrdr problem

Good day!
I somehow downloaded the click.cpvrdr virus and can't seem to get rid of it. I've followed instructions I found online and just ran Adwarecleaner. However, I'm not comfortable just uninstalling the long list of items I found.

My system:
Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7
Processor Count: 4
RAM: 8174 Mb
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 530, 1024 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 698824 MB, Free - 361523 MB;
Motherboard: Dell Inc., 0Y2MRG
Antivirus: Trend Micro Security Agent, Updated and Enabled

My problem seems to be just IE, although I can't be sure. I would click on a link in my email or in another browser and IE would open with a blank screen and a "loading" icon. I just keep closing the browser. Although it hasn't happened in the last couple of hours, I'm not convinced it's gone. I want to be sure. Can someone help me with this? I can post the AdwCleaner information or any other information you need to help me.

Thanks so much.

CryptoWall reinstall Win7 ?

$

laptop is Win7 with current updates

ok, trying to make this quick. One of my cousin's laptop got infected with the CryptoWall virus, seems got infected last week of Oct 2014.

At first laptop would boot but desktop picture would only show and kept getting pop ups of none responding windows for Google chrome, Explore and few others, forgot what they were. Kept closing them, but wouldn't stop coming back. Rebooted PC in Safe Mode. Then was able to go back to a restore point in August 2014.
Desktop loaded fine but then got popups of Text and Explorer about CryptoWall. Looked that up, then got a stomach ache about how bad that virus was, really scared the hell out of me and didnt know something like that existed.
So, all files were encrypted. pictures, music, documents, etc.

Then installed Avast, malwarebytes, trendmicro housecall, and kapersky tdss rootkit

Ran Avast first, got rid of some infected files. Then ran Avast in bootmode, got rid of more infected files.
Ran Malwarebytes. Got rid of many malware and viruses.
Ran Avast again in regular mode, now a full scan, nothing infected Ran Avast in safe mode now with full scan, nothing infected
Ran Malwarebytes in safe mode,nothing infected. Ran Malwarebytes in regular mode, nothing infected
Ran housecall, nothing infected
ran kapersky tdss rootkit, nothing infected

I only ran those four, and laptop seems clean of the Cryptowall virus, and no more startup pops of text and explore. But files are still encrypted. And there is no restore point for these files. (tried right click, cant get them back). But the browser shortcuts and text files are still in folders.

But my cousin told me the pictures are still saved in a SD card used months before the laptop got infected. And doesn't care about the music, documents, etc.

So, here is the question I have. I want to reinstall Win7, but does this virus also infect the partition where the OS is saved? And there is no backup of Win7 OS on a Disc.
Or is the laptop fully clean and just delet eeach shortcut browser file and text file in each folder throughout the laptop

And is there yet a cure for the Cryptowall encrypted files, or still basically impossible to fix and just pay the ransom?

also want to say one more thing. I been coming here for about 10years and learned alot from you guys. So, hopefully I did well.
thx :)
