virtumonde.sci help please

[jimbob]

spybot detected virtumonde.sci after upgrading the other day. I used spybot to clean the file, rebooted, and run spybot again, results came back clean. I then run AVG8 and that was also clean (although it didn't detect virtumonde.sci in the first place).

Problem is I've noticed my dir window browsing has slowed down and I'm wondering if there's a connection? When I go forward or backwards into a dir there's a half second delay or sometimes more before it displays the dir content. This happens even when going back to a dir I've just come from.

So I'm convinced that everything is as clean as spybot/AVG8 is claiming. Can someone please give me advise? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance)

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Make sure you read and follow the directions, anything else will slow the process and waste both of our time.

A scan of the HJT log shows nothing, my first suggestion is to update to Internet Explorer 7 to see if that help:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/default.mspx

Have a look at this information also:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/IEtopten.mspx

Let's run this scan to look for hidden junk:
Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe

* 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.
* 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
* Please post contents of that file in your next reply.

Thanks

I didn't remove the oembios.dat file because there's some discussion at the malwarebytes forum that this is a false positive. I don't know if I've done the right thing or not but there's the log above.

I didn't remove the oembios.dat file because there's some discussion at the malwarebytes forum that this is a false positive.
I see that in the Google for the item:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=oembios.dat+&btnG=Google+Search
You can scan it with one or more of these free scanners:

http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://www.virustotal.com/

To see if they provide more information. I have the same file on my Windows XP SP2 also.
Been on the computer since 9/03/2002, it's 4.48 KB's No other information in Properties but if your file is the same size it is likely safe.

I can post additional scans, but I am doubting malware is your issue. Look at the other information I provided. You might also try a free diagnostic here:

Let's run a quick diagnostic to see what it shows, there is no need to purchase anything.
Click here: http://www.pcpitstop.com/
Click: Free PC Health Scan - Overdrive
Click: battery of tests
Click: 4. OK, I Want to Run the Tests!
First time? Click New Members, I suggest you register free (they store tests)
Then follow the prompts. Once the test is complete, read the information provided under all tabs.

The tests might point out something to help you. I would be glad to look to see if I spot anything if you post a link to the information.

Thanks
