Virtumonde... *sigh*

I think I found the Combofix.txt that you were talking about

Code: 
ComboFix 09-01-01.02 - JUser 2009-01-02 12:07:30.1 - NTFSx86
Microsoft Windows XP Professional  5.1.2600.2.1252.1.1033.18.1014.669 [GMT -5:00]
Running from: C:\Documents and Settings\JUser\Desktop\ComboFix.exe
AV: avast! antivirus 4.8.1296 [VPS 090102-0] *On-access scanning enabled* (Updated)
.


Do you think that I would be able to run Combofix from Knoppix if I used wine and could that fix it?
 
This has likely been the reason:

AV: avast! antivirus 4.8.1296 [VPS 090102-0] *On-access scanning enabled* (Updated)

Running combofix won't help but are you able to access windows directory via knoppix?
 
Then let's do this:

While using knoppix, backup these files first to another folder (important!):

System, Security, Sam, Software and Default inside this folder:

C:\Windows\System32\Config

After that:

Copy same files from C:\Windows\ERDNT\hiv-backup to C:\Windows\System32\Config, ask yes if asks to overwrite and let me know if it works now.
 
... well it did not work. Frst off it did not have the option of repair install because it was already installed when I got this computer. Then I tried the recovery console to try to fix it, I used chkdsk and fixmbr... they did not work. Then I tried the thing that you said.... now it says that I need a password to get into the recovery console... and it is not blank, or admin, or any of the basic ones.

Any ideas? Should I just proceed and do a full install?
 
It worked I am now back up and running.

Did not have to do a full install. It ended up recognizing my Windows partition and let me use the repair function.

As soon as it was done I set a restore point and now I am wondering... is there a way to save that off of this computer?

All of my problems are fixed, nothing is going slow or anything.

Thanks!
Chris
