Hi Julie,

Lets try System File Checker to see if the infection corrupted any of Window's system files.

  • Click on the Start button and select Run.
  • Type cmd and press OK.
  • At the command prompt type the following command and press Enter.
    Code: 
    sfc /scannow]
Allow the scan to complete, it may take a while.
Reboot the PC and let me know if there is any change in its performance.

When I started the scan it came up with a window labeled "Windows File Protection".....this is what it said in the window......

Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL Cache. Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD now.


The problem is, I don't have that CD. Any suggestions?
 
Hi Julie,

I had hoped it wouldnt do that.

I will ask my colleagues what the best course of action is now.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hi Julie,

I think Malwarebyte's real-time protection was interfering with the OTL fix. I'd like to run the fix again with real-time protection disabled.

Once the fix has completed we will run some Hard drive maintenance to look for errors on the hard disk (These checks may take some time to complete).

Disable MBAM Real-Time protection
  • Right-click on the MBAM icon in the System Tray and uncheck Enable Protection.
  • When asked, "Are you sure you want to disable the MBAM Protection Module?", click Yes.
  • Right-click on the MBAM icon again and then uncheck Start with Windows.
  • Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Run OTL Script
  • Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
  • Copy and Paste the following code into the
    customFix.png
    textbox. Do not include the word Code
    Code: 
    :otl
