Hello,
This is a friend's computer, so I don't know the whole story, and they are not very computer literate, but I'll do my best to fill you in.
History:
The computer ran very slowly... It was scanned a month ago with SS&D which showed these 3 problems (or possibly remains of previous infections). SS&D was used to fix the problem. Virtumonde was difficult to remove and required several passes, but finally a clear scan was reached.
A month later they all appear to have returned. The same procedure with SS&D was used again to remove them, and show a clean scan. But the computer continues to act sluggishly. I may be able to provide some logs of some of this, but cannot guaranty they are all there.
Current situation:
It was in this condition that I began to try to speed up the system by removing years of junk installations, and old versions of things like flash, JRE, multiple wireless drivers, multiple Works and Office versions, etc... AVGfree 8.5 was installed, but appeared to be corrupt, so I have completely uninstalled it, and will reinstall once this is repaired. This has helped some.
CCleaner has been used on it a number of times, seemingly without causing any problems. No other tools have been used (ie ComboFix, etc...)
SS&D loads VERY slowly. The green bars run across the window, then it sits, sometimes for minutes before finally loading the main screen. It then seems to run normally. I used it to remove a lot of start-up junk, but things still run slow. I suspect virtudone may be at the root of the problem.
SS&D showed clear when I started, but that was the case when it was used a month ago, and then this month... then the infections returned. And Malwarebytes also picked up a couple things that were removed (Trojan.FakeAlert and ultra.PNF (Malware.Trace), I have the log file).
I know it is possible that a user is reinfecting, but they mainly use the computer for email and Facebook, no P2P, gaming, etc... There is no HOSTS file. Bluecoat K9 appears to be running w/o problems. I'm wondering is AVGfree was corrupted by the virus(es) since it seemed to help to remove it. But I want to make sure it has been completely cleaned out before proceeding.
HJT log follows.
Thanks, Pete
