    Hello!

    Sometimes when programs dont fully uninstall. So let see if we can get rid of th Mcafee stuff.

    Re-run OTM

    • Double-click OTM.exe to run it.
    • Paste the following code under the area. Do not include the word Code.


    Code:
    :Services
    McNASvc
    
    :Files
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\mcafee
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec(2)
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec(2)(3)
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee(4)
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec(4)
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\NortonInstaller(3)
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee(2)
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\NortonInstaller
    :Commands
    [emptytemp]
    [Reboot]
    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
    • Push the large button.
    • OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
    • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it in your next reply.



    NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.



    Logs/Information to Post in Next Reply

    Please post the following logs/Information in your reply:

    • OTM Log
    • A fresh HijackThis Log ( after all the above has been done)
    • A description of how your computer is behaving

    Hello!

    Your logs are clean of malware.

    Your log now appears to be clean. Congratulations!

    You can get rid of the tools we used:

    • DDS - (You can just delete the exe file from your desktop)
    • SysProt - (You can just delete the exe file from your desktop)
    • fr33.exe - (You can just delete the exe file from your desktop)
    • ATF cleaner - (You can just delete the exe file from your desktop)
    • Win32kDiag - (You can just delete the exe file from your desktop)
    • ERUNT - (You can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs)





    [list]Delete ComboFix and Clean Up
    Click Start > Run > type combofix /u > OK (Note the space between combofix and /u)

    Please advise if this step is missed for any reason as it performs some important actions.

    OTC

    Download OTC by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.


    • Double-click OTC.exe
    • Click the CleanUp! button
    • Select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? Prompt appears
    • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes
    • The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself



    Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.


    General Security and Computer Health
    Below are some steps to follow in order to dramatically lower the chances of reinfection. You may have already implemented some of the steps below, however you should follow any steps that you have not already implemented.


    • Make sure that you keep your antivirus updated
      New viruses come out every minute, so it is essential that you have the latest signatures for your antivirus program to provide you with the best possible protection from malicious software.
      NOTE: You should only have one antivirus installed at a time. Having more than one antivirus program installed at once is likely to cause conflicts and may well decrease your overall protection as well as impairing the performance of your PC.
    • Security Updates for Windows, Internet Explorer & Microsoft Office
      Whenever a security problem in its software is found, Microsoft will usually create a patch so that after the patch is installed, attackers can't use the vulnerability to install malicious software on your PC. Keeping up with these patches will help to prevent malicious software being installed on your PC. Ensure you are registered for Windows updates via Start > right-click on My Computer > Properties > Automatic Updates tab or visit the Microsoft Update site on a regular basis.
      NOTE: The update process uses ActiveX, so you will need to use internet explorer for it and allow the ActiveX control to install.
    • Update Non-Microsoft Programs
      Microsoft isn't the only company whose products can contain security vulnerabilities. To check whether other programs running on your PC are in need of an update, you can use the Secunia Software Inspector or F-secure Health Check. I suggest that you run one of them at least once a month.




    Recommended Programs

    I would recommend the download and installation of some or all of the following programs (if not already present), and the updating of them on a regular basis.


    • WinPatrol
      As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. For more information, please visit HERE.
    • SpywareBlaster
      SpywareBlaster sets killbits in the registry to prevent known malicious ActiveX controls from installing on your computer. If you don't know what ActiveX controls are, see HERE. You can download SpywareBlaster from HERE.
    • Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
      Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is an anti-malware application that can thoroughly remove even the most advanced malware. It includes a number of features, including a built in protection monitor that blocks malicious processes before they even start.You can download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from HERE. Here are two tutorials: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Setup Guide and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Scanning Guide.
    • Hosts File
      For added protection you may also like to add a host file. A simple explanation of what a Hosts file does is HERE and for more information regarding host files read HERE.
    • Use an alternative Internet Browser
      Many of the exploits are directed to users of Internet Explorer. Try using a different browser instead: Firefox or Opera or Google Chrome



    Here is a great article by miekiemoes How to prevent Malware.

    Finally I am trying to make one point very clear. It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to keep all of your security programs up to date.


    Please take the time to tell us what you would like to be done about the people who are behind all the problems you have had. We can only get something done about this if the people that we help, like you, are prepared to complain. We have a dedicated forum for collecting these complaints Malware Complaints. You need to be registered to post as, unfortunately, we were hit with too many spam posts to allow guest posting to continue. Just find your country room and register your complaint.


    I'd be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can be closed.

    Happy surfing and stay clean!

    Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad I could help.

    Note: If it has been four days or more since your last post, and the helper assisting you posted a response to that post to which you did not reply, your topic will not be reopened. At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a fresh HijackThis log and a link to your previous thread.

    If it has been less than four days since your last response and you need the thread re-opened, please send me or your helper a private message (pm). A valid, working link to the closed topic is required.
