s&d constantlly removing viruses. they always come back

[Blade81]

Hi,

Uninstall all parts of Comodo and keep those uninstalled for now. Then try to run GMER by unchecking all but "sections" option first (try in safe mode if normal mode fails).

neither of these worked :(

[Blade81]

Please download DeFogger to your desktop.

Double click DeFogger to run the tool.

• The application window will appear
• Click the Disable button to disable your CD Emulation drivers.
• Click Yes to continue
• A 'Finished!' message will appear
• Click OK
• DeFogger will now ask to reboot the machine - click OK

IMPORTANT! If you receive an error message while running DeFogger, please post the log defogger_disable which will appear on your desktop.

Do not re-enable these drivers until otherwise instructed.


Then run ComboFix again (with antivirus protection disabled). Any visible symptoms there?

[Anton_eric]

it ran fine no symptoms and i tried running gmer for the sake of it and it worked. where should i go from here?

ok so just after i posted this a blue screen came up and told me to restart and contact my system administrator and to uninstall anything i just installed? and something to do with a memory dump im not to sure

[Blade81]

Hi,

That's pretty generic blue screen error message. Are you able to reboot normally? If yes, please do a ComboFix run and post back its log.

what do you mean reboot normally? i could reboot normally with the button on the tower all the time?

[Blade81]

Sorry if my question was unclear. If you reboot the machine does it load Windows normally without error? Re-run ComboFix and post back its report.

Well congrats, it appears your system is all clean Are you still noticing any problems? If not, it's time to secure your system to prevent against further intrusions.


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.

• hosts file:
  
  • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
  • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
  • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
  • However, it can slow down certain computers.
  • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!

  2. Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
  3. Click run
  4. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  5. hit enter, then locate dns client

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
