    Default remove Generic.Ransom.VxLock.E31AD1D6

    How can I remove this virus?

    SS&D ran this automatically today. It shows this virus. I clicked on Fix All selected.

    I then ran SS&D again. This virus was still there.

    I rebooted.

    Ran SS&D again. E31AD1D6 had gone, but replaced by CB7B23BB

    Hi
    If what you say has been found on your computer, then there isn't much I can do to help out.

    I've located an article about the infection you listed, the names of these infections change very often, as well as the extensions shown to indicate the infection.

    https://www.enigmasoftware.com/vxloc...mware-removal/

    also
    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/for...-files/page-79


    From here about all I can suggest is to try and attempt to run a couple of scans to find/identify whats on the machine.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

    You may have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installed but if not, you can download it from here:
    • run the program
    • click on the ‘Dashboard’ to make sure everything is up to date, (it is not necessary to upgrade to the premium version of MBAM)
    • click on the ‘Scan’ tab, (directly below the Dashboard tab)
    • select the Threat Scan option
    • slick the Scan Now button
    • Threat Scan will begin
    • when the scan has completed Look over the list of items found, if anything looks legit but has a bad file extension after it's name, uncheck for it to be removed and if malware was found, click the Quarantine Selected button to allow MBAM to quarantine what was found
    • if prompted to restart the computer, close all other programs and click Yes to restart your computer
    • once you are back at your desktop, open MBAM once more
    • click on the ‘Reports’ tab
    • double-click on the most recent Scan Report
    • click on Export, then Copy to Clipboard

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Download and run AdwCleaner

    Download AdwCleaner from here and save it to your desktop.
    you can download AdwCleaner here: https://malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner

    run AdwCleaner by clicking on Scan Now
    when it has finished, Look over the list of items found, if anything looks legit but has a bad file extension after it's name, uncheck for it to be removed, leave everything that was found checked, (ticked), then click on Clean and Repair
    if it asks to reboot, allow the reboot
    on reboot, click on View Log File; please attach the content of the log to your next reply.


    ============================================


    Please post these 2 logs when finished.

    Default I have run Anti-malware: no threats found. Report is in this email.

    I downloaded and ran Anti-Malware.
    I told me that the SHA-2 update was missing so I chose to download and run the legacy version.
    The prompts differed from what you listed, e.g. no Dashboard, but I did do a Scan.

    The report is below:

    Default Additional Info re MalwareBytes

    Prompts for Anti-Malware were somewhat different from those you listed.

    I found no choice but to start a 14-day trial of Premium.

    I read in the enigmasoftware.com article that VxLock sometimes masquerades as IE. I almost never ran IE.

    I recognize none of the registry entries. Perhaps you do.

    I do and I'm not worried with them, those are removable.

    Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) Scan
    • Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (x32) or Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (x64) andsave the file to your Desktop.
    • Note: Download and run the version compatible with your system (32 or 64-bit). Download both if you're unsure; only one will run.
    • Right-Click FRST.exe / FRST64.exe and select Run as administrator to run the programme.
    • Click Yes to the disclaimer.
    • Ensure the Addition.txt box is checked.
    • Click the Scan button and let the programme run.
    • Upon completion, click OK, then OK on the Addition.txt pop up screen.
    • Two logs (FRST.txt & Addition.txt) will now be open on your Desktop. Copy the contents of both logs and paste in your next reply.

    (Scan times will vary from one system to another. Sometimes the scan may appear to hang and you may even see a message that says, Program not responding. Most likely that will be temporary and the scan will resume on its own. It is not unusual for a complete scan to take up to10 minutes or even longer depending on what the scan is finding.)
