I Fell for the MediaTube codec after it passed an AVG context scan. I Am currently running a dual, independent, system hard drive setup. I am able to switch back and forth booting from this [uninfected] drive to my primary [Infected] drive using BIOS. ALL Sytem Restore points were deleted by the Malware [except one that IT created]. When booting from the infected drive the system is almost unusable: No access to the C drive [by Explorer or ANY program browser window except "save as"], Spybot will not load, Combofix will not load, MBAM will not install, Notepad crashes immediately[except in safe mode], cannot access certain websites [eg Kaspersky-gets hijacked], cannot access control panel, cannot update any antivirus [even on new install] except Smitfraudfix and AVG Antivirus. Ran ATF cleaner and SmitfraudFix, Vundofix scans clean, CWshredder scans clean, RogueRemover scans clean, AVG AntiRootkit scans clean [no updates for any of those]. While booted on the infected drive I CAN: Access 'My Documents', 'Start Menu', 'Start - Run', Run HJT [I confess I felt that I know my system well enough to delete certain items having used HJT to recover from Smitfraud once before, eg
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7700C763-1188-4F51-A11D-95E9065DA99E} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtUkkhGv.dll
and a HKLM - system32 entry which also cleared
O22 - SharedTaskScheduler: Browseui preloader - {438755C2-A8BA-11D1-B96B-00A0C90312E1} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\browseui.dll
O22 - SharedTaskScheduler: Component Categories cache daemon - {8C7461EF-2B13-11d2-BE35-3078302C2030} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\browseui.dll
Included HJT log is from AFTER removal. The uninfected drive is normally kept disconnected [Power and Data cables]. I can access ALL of the file system on the infected drive while booted from this [uninfected] one [enabling me to copy downloads across]. In order to avoid contagion I have not run ANY program FROM the infected drive [treating it strictly as a data drive] while booted on this one . Spybot, and Online Kaspersky scan of both drives while booted on this one scan clean [except for certain keygens which have not been used since last 'clean bill of health' and are not part of this infection]. Other Symptoms on infected drive: Wallpaper replaced, the text 'VIRUS ALERT!' appears in many locations [eg by clock on taskbar], ALL icons on desktop removed except 'Recycle Bin' [the only system icon I allow] and Thunderbird [I'm not stupid enough to use it] Malware icons placed on desktop [not stupid enough to use those either-deleted them], Antivirus 2008 placed in start menu and 'Program Files [deleted them], foreign .exe and .dll files in 'Windows' [eg elvr.exe, fdxbameg.dll - deleted]
