    Default Need Help For Malware Infection

    My Dell Inspiron 1721 notebook frequently freezes up and crashes (blue screen). A full scan with Malwarebytes detected over 200 problems but, when I tried to have it fix them, it told me I was not logged in as an Administrator even though I was.

    Below is my HJT log. Thanks, in advance, for any help.

    Hi there,

    Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
    Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
    • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
      1. DDS.txt
      2. Attach.txt
    • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.


    Download GMER here by clicking download exe -button and then saving it your desktop:
    • Double-click .exe that you downloaded
    • Click rootkit-tab and then scan.
    • Don't check
      Show All
      box while scanning in progress!
    • When scanning is ready, click Copy.
    • This copies log to clipboard
    • Post log (if the log is long, archive it into a zip file and attach instead of posting) in your reply.

    My apologies for not replying sooner, machine keeps freezing and it's difficult to complete the GMER scan. Will try again and post once I get results.

    Thank you so much for responding.

    Hi,

    Please try to deselect sections and devices options before scanning. Also, make sure antivirus protection is disabled.

    Tried your suggestions but GMER still freezes part-way through the scan. Should I try running it in safe mode? Any other thoughts before I just rebuild the machine?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi,

    Yes, you may give it a try in safe mode. If it still fails post those DDS logs anyway.
