Guys I have the exact same problem. Out of nowhere everything said it was crashing and this same program has taken over. I don't know what to do. Is all my stuff gone? I am going to be so mad if it is. I didn't download or even click anything. My virus program avira just popped up randomly with a warning and I clicked to delete the malware. Next thing I know everything is going nuts. I'm on a friend's laptop now. Can I get some help?

Can you download anything? If not, make sure you run the rkill program first. Download it from a different computer onto a flash drive and then run it on the infected computer but don't reboot the system. Then download and run malwarebytes and hijackthis from the following links.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here or here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

If for some reason Malwarebytes will not install or run please download and run Rkill.scr, Rkill.exe, or Rkill.com but DO NOT reboot the system and then try installing or running Malwarebytes. If Rkill (which is a black box) appears and then disappears right away or you get a message saying rkill is infected, keep trying to run rkill until it over powers the infection and temporarily kills it. Once a log appears on the screen, you can try running malwarebytes or downloading other programs.



Download the HijackThis installer from here.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log

I actually did a system restore to march 27th and I appear to be ok now. All my stuff is back and I am no longer getting that window repair thing taking over. I was in full blown panic mode for a minute.

Please follow my instructions on downloading and running malwarebytes and hijackthis. System restore may have temporarily fixed your issue but most likely you are still infected. Infections like to hide in the system restore files so if you do a system restore, your still infected but the infection may not be active.

Thanks for the advice John. I'm doing it right now. Will post the logs when done.

Rerun hijackthis and place checks next to the following entries.

O2 - BHO: Bing Bar Helper - {d2ce3e00-f94a-4740-988e-03dc2f38c34f} - "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\BingExt.dll" (file missing)

Then click on fix checked at the bottom.

You are also running old/outdated adobe reader software and need to uninstall it and then download the latest version of adobe reader.

Go into add/remove programs in control panel and uninstall adobe reader 7. And then go here to download the latest version.

http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO

Uncheck mcafee security scan before downloading though.

In that case, do this.

Download and Run ComboFix
If you already have Combofix, please delete this copy and download it again as it's being updated regularly.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.


In your next reply please post:
  • The ComboFix log
  • A fresh HiJackThis log
  • An update on how your computer is running

I took a printscreen shot of it. don't know how to put it on here though

Do you have a file sharing site account like imageshack or photobucket? You can upload it there and give me the link to it. Or save the screen shot as jpg and attach it to your reply.
