Mike,

I would like to see the log from ESET to see what has been removed


Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2


* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop


  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  • See this Link for programs that need to be disabled and instruction on how to disable them.
  • Remember to re-enable them when we're done.

  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
RC2-1.png

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply along with a New Hijackthis log.

*If there is no internet connection when Combofix has completely finished then restart your computer to restore back the connections.

I ran combofix and it reset my computer and then just hung on the combofix screen all night. So I rebooted this morning and below is the HJT log

I am guessing that because combofix did not officially finish this is why I have not got a log for it.
Is there anything else aside from Avast that I need to disable before running combofix or is it a Windows 7 problem?

Mike
 
Mike,

C:\ComboFix.txt <--It should be here.

You should also be able to open ESET and find the log and post it
 
Hello Mike,

Combofix will run on Windows 7 32 bit and that looks like what you have, I never said anything because the other programs ran ok and thought maybe you where aware but with most programs in Vista and Windows 7 you should right click on it and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
 
Ken

I have indeed been right clicking and running as administrator (even tried just double clicking in case that was the problem). Still no log. I shall run it today whilst I am out and let you know tonight if there is a difference.

In the ESET folder the only log that was there is posted above. I did run it twice so not sure if there is an archive for older logs?

Mike
 
Ken

So Combofix has been running for 24 hours now and not shutting off. It does seem to have killed something as I am now not getting redirected anywhere else.
What would you suggest as next/final steps.

Mike
 
CF should not have taken so long, is it still running ? You can find the log at C:\combofix.txt... Post it please
