Hi, I was wondering is you could help with a problem that i've been having with malware that has resisted Spybot, Malwarebyte's Antimalware and even Combofix (i know i know,I shouldn't have used it without supervision...)
The problem started with a persistantly red X in the system tray recommending that I install anti-spyware software. The computer also sometimes reset itself with no apparent cause. Initially Task manager was inaccessible as I "wasn't the administrator" (I am) & Spybot was also unresponsive.
I followed the general instructions of others on the forum who have had almost identical problems. I have downloaded HijackThis, RSIT, the latest Java JREs, Immunised with the latest Spybot updates (after editing the registry to allow me to open it), disabled TeaTimer, Updated windows with the latest updates, installed an extra firewall and used Combofix (in safemode, with the windows safety thing, as it was reseting during the Log write) which all seemed to fix the problem. However using Kaspersky's online scanner Brastk.exe still is persisting in the registry. and Malwarebyte's confiming the registry entry/Trojan.Fakealert
Could someone help?
As an aside, I think the culture of altruism shown by the volunteers on this and other fora is really heartwarming, and thanks in advance of any help you can give!
I have a load of logs and can post whichever ones you need!
Thanks
