Malware Keeps Comming Back

[roger.f]

Hi,
I was infected or am still infected by Easy Driver Pro and YTDownloader on an XP machine. I ran superAntiSpyware, MalwareByets Anti-Malware, ESET + kaspersky rootkit scan. Now the computer seems to operate ok, every time I run a malware check scan i find 500 tracking cookies plus various items. This morning I found Gen-Qbot trojan. So ether I did not totally get rid of the infections or something has happened to the computer to make it more vulnerable.

see attached logs.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Roger

Action as requested

Hi!
All tasks preformed as requested. summary follows:

1. Run FRST-FIx and the program died after several minuets with the following message" FRST.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

2. Repeat run of FRST-fix this time as administrator and it completed successfully.

3. Run AdwCleaner which found nothing. Clicked clean anyway and allowed it to complete and reboot.

4. Ran Junkware removal tool successfully.

5. Requested files are attached. This was a little confusing. Since i ran the programs as administrator the jtr.txt file was on the administrator desktop not mine. Also I found the AdwCleaner files at e:/adwCleaner/ and there were 5 files AdwCleaner[c2], AdwCleaner[r0], AdwCleaner[s0], AdwCleaner[s2] and AdwCleaner[s3]. i could only upload 5 files. let me know if you need the other files.

Thank you sooo much!!!

Roger

Hi and again thank you soo much for your help!!

MBAM run as requested. See attached logs.

The computer seems to be operating normal (correctly). No obvious issues.

Thanks,

Did you allow it to quarantine what it found. Logs didn't show me.

How is your computer now?

***

What we can do now is run an online scan with Eset, for the time being it is our most trusted scanner.
Most reliable and thorough.
The settings I suggest will show us items located in quarantine folders so don't be alarmed with this, also, in case of a false positive I ask that you not allow it to delete what it does find.
This scanner can take quite a bit of time to run, depending of course how full your computer is.



Note: This scan may take a long time to complete. Please do not browse the Internet whilst your Anti-Virus is disabled.

Note ESET did quarantine file.

Thanks again!!
