Cannot get rid of files after infection from trojans and malware

No. I noticed that. Should I turn off system restore and restart my comp or should I let mbam remove them first and then do the restart?
 
Well it seems that I am clean! :D: Now, if only you could jump onto my laptop thread so I can clean that one up!! Thanks for all of your help:cowboy:

BTW, I saw your post on disabling auto start for the external drive. Just to be clear are you saying as long as that is disabled I can then hook up my USB drive and scan it with Rising, Spy Bot and mbam to check for malware?:confused:

"BTW, I saw your post on disabling auto start for the external drive. Just to be clear are you saying as long as that is disabled I can then hook up my USB drive and scan it with Rising, Spy Bot and mbam to check for malware?"

Yes but don't open it.

Any other concerns? :)
 
Good :)

Please reinstall Rising and post back a fresh HijackThis log and I will give you final instructions.
 
Just to give you a heads up I have reinstalled Rising and I have also added Comodo D+ firewall. One thing I have noticed since I was infected is that many apps that I have and windows in general are acting like I am first using them. Things have been reset to defaults I guess and some programs try to install (roxio media manager from BB desktop manager I assume, but i keep denying install) and (Outlook is as if I never set it up). Is that just behavior from the infections?

Do they do it all the time or just once?

Just once as far as I know. I haven't bothered hooking up Outlook until I am clean so I cant say for sure for that app. Roxio keep son trying to install, but I had this same issue with a newer version of blackberry manager awhile ago. My solution was to drop down to a older version so I don't know if it was a bug in the new release, but roxio media manager always seemed flakey on the desktop manager for BB.

I went into program files and deleted the ROxio folder, but I assume that the installer is launching from somewhere else within the system. I think the infections had tampered with my registry policies because it blocked out task mgr and as per instruction on the net I had to change a few key policies as the trojans behavior was to change them.

Needless to say everything is running without hangups, I have no findable infections and I am thinking the roxio thing is just a glitch in that program for BB desktop manager. I will just delete it when I have the time to look for the files.
 
I let the roxio installer go and it did not finish loading since it could not locate a certificate or target files (the ones I deleted). So, I just need to get that installer from launching and I think I am golden.:santa:

Happy surfing and stay clean! :bigthumb:
 
I dont know if this thread is closed yet, but I just encountered a problem after starting to do what you asked. After getting rid of combofix and using the clean up utility I restarted my system. On boot up of windows, while on desptop and programs starting I got a RUNDLL box saying that there was an "error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\NvCpl.dll". I searched in that folder and found the same file, but in lowercase letters. NIVIDIA file.

I then had a problem logging into IE 8 as I was trying to set it up as you said. Everytime I clicked on it to open it would open and disappear. I then uninstalled it and restarted my comp to get the same previous error about NvCpl.dll. The error comes up twice at boot up.

I then tried to add/remove to see if IE was taken out and I get an error for any icon in Control Panel. Same RUNDLL box and error, but this time pointing to system32 subfolder Shell32.dll. I also confirmed that this file was there and that file is. :sad:
