Unsheathed 171

Alright, well on my friends computer, he says that he has a virus because when he boots up, all these pop-ups rapidly come up and he can't really do anything about it, and that's all I really know about it. I can't do anything because it's on his computer, but I am going over to his house tomorrow to see if I can do anything about it. I am fairly new to all this so I was hoping you guys could offer up some ideas of what I can do. Thank you.

cohen

what virus protection does he have???

Go to his house and google:

AVG free 8.0-its an antivirus and make sure to run some scans.

I'm not sure about his virus protection/ if any at all.
So if I just boot in safe mode and download AVG and virus scan, it will most likely take the virus off? Why do some people have to do the Hijack This log and then SDFix or ComboFix?

cohen

boot it up normally and do a AVG virus scan and see if it still happens AVG 8.0 will do a spyware scan as well... if this doesn't fix it it... you might have to do a system restore window repair or a OS complete reinstall.

AVG will get a fair bit of that, but I'll give you instructions for all of it, just in case:

Your logfile also indicates that you are running both AVG Antivirus and Norton. Two antivirus programs running in resident mode can conflict, actually making you less safe. I suggest you either remove one, or disable the real time protection on one and just use it as an on-demand scanner. Given that Norton hasn't been successful in preventing any of these infections, it may be out of date or not completely functional. If you choose to remove it, I suggest you use the Norton Removal Tool to do so completely.

Please download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to C:\SDFix

You may wish to print out these instructions or copy them to a notepad document since you will be unable to access the Internet while in Safe Mode to read from this site.

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode (tap F8 just before Windows starts to load and select Safe Mode from the list).

• Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
• It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
• When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
• Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
  (Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
• Paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum in your next reply.

Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix

Post the log from ComboFix (located at C:\ComboFix.txt) when you've accomplished that.

Please run HijackThis and choose Do a system scan only.
