Malware Discussions

[angelanduriil]

A couple days ago I got this virus and haven't been able to remove it. TM keeps poping up every couple minutes saying it has removed a file always with a different name and from what I can tell they have all been .dll files. Occasionally it'll have to restart to remove the file. I have ran Malwarebytes and it detected a bunch stuff and "fixed" those too. Can someone help get rid of this?

Attached is a HJT log, my last scan log, and a MB log.

Thanks!

Download ComboFix from the any of the locations given in this website:

• • http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-viru​s/combofix
    IMPORTANT !!! You need to Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
    • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you are still unsure on how to do this, see here
    • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
    • If you already have the Recovery Console preinstalled, it will not ask for the following. If it does prompt, allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
    
    
    **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.
    
    
    
    Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
    
    
    
    Click Yes, to continue scanning for malware. Please be patient and don't use the PC whilst it is scanning.
    
    When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please copy & paste the contents of this log (also found at C:\ComboFix.txt) in your next reply at your topic.

Ok, whenever I go to do the OTL scan with the custom fixes from your last reply the icons and start bar go away and then my pc locks up and doesn't do anything. I let it sit for a few hours and nothing changes. I've tried it twice but have had to manually power down the pc. Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

the start menu and desktop disappearing is normal...just move directly to combofix step for now.Skip OTL for now and do the below before moving on to combofix step:

Ok, I click on the link you sent me and Trend Micro pops up in my browser saying it's a dangerous page.

"Trend Micro has confirmed that this website can transmit malicious software or has been involved in an online scan or fraud."

Even if I try to go to the www.atribune.org main page it says that. Should I ignore it and go on?

[malwarekiller]

Ignore it its safe as hell!

Ok here is my combofix log. I did have problems with combo fix too. It removed my desktop like you said it would, but then it just sat there. For a long time...like a couple of hours. I know it said not to manually restart but I did anyway. It did seem to finish the job once it restarted, but I'm not sure if I messed anything up by doing that. I did delete the temp files before hand with the program you gave me and I did make sure to shut down TM and MB before hand.

Thanks a lot for your help with all this!
