Hi kasmir

I need to bring your attention to the information below.


AS well as the Rootkit.TDSS, and all the other backdoors found by Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, you are still very infected.

One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan, which can also add a keylogger program that can capture all user keystrokes (including confidential details such username, password, credit card number, etc

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... clnk&gl=uk
http://www.sophos.com/security/analyses/viruses-and-spyware/trojzbotkm.html


Backdoor Trojans are the most dangerous and most widespread type of Trojan. Backdoor Trojans provide the author or "master" of the Trojan with remote "administration" of victim machines. Unlike legitimate remote administration utilities, they install, launch and run invisibly, without the consent or knowledge of the user. Once installed, backdoor Trojans can be instructed to send, receive, execute and delete files, harvest confidential data from the computer, log activity on the computer, change settings on the computer and more.

If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

The only responsible course of action I can advise is to reformat your computer and reinstall windows if you have the means.

If you need any help with this please let me know and I will be glad to give you some assistance or if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
I have no problem formatting and reinstalling windows, but I never had an xp disk. Some time ago, I used winnt32.exe to reinstall windows and now it (winnt32.exe) is gone. I don't see it in the i386 folder, where I'm told it should be. Maybe it's a one time thing?
You may have a recovery partion, most Compaq or hp have this unless you were supplied with a set of recovery disc's if the system is old.

I am not an expert at this type of problem. I would suggest that you go to one of the forums below that specialise in more general computer problems. They have people that know more about this sort of problem.
Tell them why you need to format and post a link to this topic, and have your model number to hand.

The re-format process will wipe the computer's hard drive clean, destroying all data and programs installed, so please make sure you back-up all data before re-formatting
the computer's hard drive. This includes address books, email accounts, documents, music, settings, saved games, and anything else not obsolete.
here is some information to help you
http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/data/backup.mspx

Dont forget Items like Hardware Drivers, and the Key Codes and media so you can install any software that you may have installed now


Physically unplug the computer from the Internet before re-formatting.
Do not go back online untill you are protected by a hardware firewall, NAT router, or a software firewall, and have Installed a ANTIVIRUS, or you can be infected in a few seconds going back online,
Then visit the windows updates and download install all Critical updates, keep revisting untill all are downloaded and installed.




Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.




Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware



Download and Install a HOSTS File
A Hosts file is a plain text file which prevents your computer from inadvertently connecting to malware, spyware and adware sites by redirecting the connection request back to your own machine address (127.0.0.1). It is a very effective defense system.
If you are part fo a business network, if you are on AOL, or if you use Norton to scan e-mail, be sure to read the special instructions in the tutorial below..

Be sure to disable the service "DNS Client" FIRST to allow the use of large HOSTS files without slowdowns.
If this isn't done first, the next reboot may take a VERY LONG TIME.
This is how to do it. First be sure you are signed in as a user with administrative privileges:
Stop and Disable the DNS Client Service
Go to Start, Run and type Services.msc and click OK.
Under the Extended Tab, Scroll down and find this service.
DNS Client
Right-Click on the DNS Client Service. Choose Properties
Select the General tab. Click on the Stop button.
Click the Arrow-down tab on the right-hand side at the Start-up Type box.
From the drop-down menu, click on Manual
Click the Apply tab, then click OK


MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
