Either yesterday or two days ago I was trying to access a word file for a school project on a flash drive. When I tried to open the flash drive, a prompt came up from windows blocking usbd.exe. I blocked it a few times but was unable to access my flash drive. So I unblocked the application think it was preventing me from accessing my flash drive. After I unblocked it, I was able to access the files on my flash drive. The only files I have on this flash drive are word documents.

This morning when I wake up my computer loads up a prompt from "Windows Security Essentials" prompting me to connect online to remove a virus. Being suspicious I did not accept. I was unable to get this window to go away so I disabled my wireless card and accepted the online scan to see if it would go away knowing it could not connect to the internet.

I immediately booted into safemode and ran a spybot search. It found and fixed Win32.Muollo. It also fixed C:\Documents and Settings\Adminstrator\Application Data\Koydix\myog.exe. Myog.exe is also in autorun start up program. When I ran my computer in normal windows the virus was still there.

When I tried to reboot in safemode again ThinkPoint starts up immediately. If I kill the program my computer won't load up. This is why I have not ran a DDS yet because I cannot access those resources. If someone could help that would be awesome and I am very grateful for you taking your time out and reading this post. Let me know if I can be of any other assistance.

Thanks,
James

While best efforts are made to assist in removing infections safely, unexpected stuff can happen. It is advisable that you back up your important data before starting any clean up procedure. Neither Safer Networking Forums nor the Analyst providing the advice may be held responsible for any loss.

Until we deem your system clean I am going to ask you not to install or uninstall any software or hardware except for the programs we may run.


Thinkpoint is a rogue program that your infected with.



Please download Malwarebytes from Here (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php) or Here (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html)


Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick 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 and post the results.
