    Default Need help please

    Yesterday while browsing online, my computer suddenly had some strange program pop up asking for permission to access my computer, I clicked cancel and then about 20 little boxes popped up saying something about data failure. It immediately ran a fake "S.M.A.R.T. scan" I believe it was called and proceeded to erase my desktop icons and favorites. I'm not sure what else it erased. I then ran spybot and malwarebytes. After malwarebytes removed what it found, I still didn't see my icons, so I restored my computer back 2 days, but that didn't do anything either. I'm hoping you may be able to help me make sure whatever attacked my computer is gone and possibly be able to restore whatever it removed. I ran erunt, my and here is my dds:

    Thank you so much for helping me. I took the OTL notepad and extras notepad and zipped them so they would fit- I hope that is ok.

    Let's see if we can recover the missing items.

    Run Unhide

    Download Unhide.exe

    Once the program has been downloaded, double-click on the Unhide.exe icon on your desktop and allow the program to run. This program will remove the +H, or hidden, attribute from all the files on your hard drives. If there are any files that were purposely hidden by you, you will need to hide them again after this tool is run.

    Please let me know if you can now see your startup programs and desktop files

    Thanks Satchfan

    Good, we're making progress

    Download and run ComboFix

    Download ComboFix from the following location:

    Link

    * IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
    • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, as they may otherwise interfere with our tools. See here for programs that need to be disabled and instruction on how to disable them.
    • Remember to re-enable them when we're done.
    • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
    • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

      **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue its malware removal procedures.


      Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

      Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

    Note: Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

    When finished, it will produce a log. Please include the ComboFix.txt in your next reply. It can be found at C:\ComboFix.txt
