Warning while running DDS.com
I'm running XP Pro on the Windows Bootcamp partition of my iMac. Having virus trouble, that's why I'm here..
Following your instructions, I'm running DDS.com, after doing the ERUNT reg backup, and I have CA Internet Security Suite running, configured to fire alerts when "attempts to access monitored items are detected", which I believe is the case here.
I get this alert
"1 Program has been blocked"
C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Local Settings\Temp\2f.tmp\MBR.D AT
Wants access to:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\mbr.
Is this DDS asking for something, or bad guys?

hi Skipperme,
Try disabling CA Internet Security Suite first and any other "anti this or that" you may have running then run DDS. After you get a DDS log, reboot machine to start your CA Suite back up.

Follow on to DDS warning..
Hi, I just recently posted in the Waiting Room because of the 4 day wait and gave the sequence of actions I went through after I posted about the Filter warning you are responding to. I did disable the CA stuff, then tried 3 more times through the ERUNT/DDS sequence. Didn't get anymore warnings, but each time DDS died before it completed, completely killing the machine. No mouse or keyboard response, had to hard reboot. So I haven't gotten a DDS dump yet and await word on much more frigged up things are when DDS won't even run...
I don't want to get too confused with posts all over the place, so let me know what to expect next. As I said, the latest info (basically what I said here) is also in a post in the Waiting Room.
Thanks.

Ive never had DDS not be able to produce a log but that dosnt mean its malware related. Do you have Malwarebytes installed? if not:
Please download the free version of Malwarebytes to your desktop.
Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Be sure that everything is checked, and click *Remove Selected.*
*A restart of your computer may be required to remove some items. If prompted please restart your computer to complete the fix.*
When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
Post the log in your reply.
You could also try running DDS in safe mode. After a reboot and before Windows starts, tap the f8 key and from the list chose the first option: safe mode, log into your usual account, once at the safe mode desktop try running DDS.
Is CA telling you you have a virus or are you experiencing any signs of malware?

Malwarebytes story
Did a scan with CA first, got nothing.
While downloading or installing MWB (don't remember which...)
Got a CA notification badge popup intrusion warning for "daily drivers update" wanting access. I checked the CA logs and they had trapped some, but not all of some hits from update-drivers.in(80,87,199,48) and some from ebay.com (66.135.200.181) ??
Earlier in the list were about 5 malwarebytes accesses that were all blocked..
dunno what that is, but if it helps..
so,
installed Malwarebytes
When I ran it, I immediately got an error message dlg with the error
PROGRAM_ERROR_UPDATING(122,0,MultiByteToWideChar) data buffer too small for system call " paraphrased..
The update dialog had already shown, and this popped up in front.
clicked okay, the update dialog failed, another malware dlg popped saying things were out of date by 140 days, update?, to which I said yes and got the same error dialog box.
Dismissed that one and the MWB UI came up.
Ran the scan, got 2 infections.
Here's the log:

If malwarebytes is out of date by 140 days it wont do you a whole lot of good.Sometimes malware can cause these type of problems. Can you successfully update your CA suite and any other software you have installed? Can you get to certain websites ok, try going to Windows Update or Avast, AVG etc.
There is a current data base you can manually download and install to MBAM here
Those other messages must be from your CA suite's firewall. You would have to give MBAM the ok to "go out" and get the updates if that whats the prompts are about.
The MBAM log is really of little help being so outdated. See if you can post a traditional HJT log so we have something to go on;
Version 2.0.4 is here

MBAM et al. Logs
Checked my CA suite and it's up to date. While trying to find out how to check the update status, I did a help search and got a "bad script..." error.
Tried Windows Update. Didn't fly. Tried by doing a search via the Chrome universal wonderful address bar, which took me to Google results, first of which was the link to windowsupdate..etc. Clicked the link and got redirected (which is what got me here in the first place). After a couple of more attempts at it, Chrome crashed, which has been part of the pattern. I've seen other posts of people reporting google redirect and Chrome crashing as well.
Tried directly accessing windowsupdate.microsoft.com via address bar in both IE(8) and FF(3.6.16), got a blank page in both cases.
I was able to go directly to both avast.com and avg.com typing directly to the address bar. Searches via google and yahoo got redirected.
Downloaded the MBAM offline database and ran the installer. Ran MalWareBytes and got "out of date by 15 days" this time. Ran full scan anyway, and it caught 3 things. I said 'fix' and here's the log:

ok. Lets try tdsskiller first and see if it digs up anything:
Please download TDSS Killer.exe and save it to your desktop
Double click to launch the utility. Vista and Windows 7 right click as "run as admin.." After it initializes click the start scan button.
"The utility will automatically select an action (Cure or Delete) for known malcious objects. A suspicious object will be skipped by default."
If an infected file is detected, the default action will be Cure, click on Continue.
If a suspicious file is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
It may ask you to reboot the computer to complete the process. Click on Reboot Now.
If no reboot is require, click on Report. A log file should appear. Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.
Next you can use combofix. There is a guide to read first. Read through the guide then apply the directions on your own machine.

Leftovers of HJT
Thanks.. First want to check. I left HJT running after I sent the log. It's still at post scan "analyze this/fix that" decision point. Should I just close it out and move on? From what you say to do next, I'm thinking so, but I want to check before moving on.
thanks
-
Yes you can just close it out.
