Infected! the horror..

41 min read

This thread's last reply is from June 28, 2011, 5:38 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Thanks!!

1) I got the results (below) from look.
2) Backed up registry with ERUNT
3) Ran OTM.exe

FYI: OTM needed to restart my machine, so I couldn't copy from the Results window,
but the .log file (below) was easily found as you described.

My machine seems to be running perfectly! It's faster than I ever remember it, and zero errors lately.

Standing by..

OTM by OldTimer - Version 3.1.18.0 log created on 06222011_144549
Hello EZSundayAM :),

Congratulations, you are All Clear to go. Glad to hear everything is good and running :). If you have any more problems, please let me know.

Now we need to clear out the programs we have been using to clean up your computer. They are not suitable for general malware removal and could cause damage if used inappropriately.
  • Run OTM by double clicking on OTM.exe. Click on CleanUp, proceed to reboot if prompted.
  • Delete the TDSSKiller and GMER (28vhkfi0.exe) files on your desktop.
  • Delete any logs on the desktop.


Some tips to help you stay clean and safe:

1. Keep your Windows up to date. Enable Automatic Updates for Windows Vista to always update the latest security patches from Microsoft, or you can download from the Microsoft website. Otherwise, your computer will be vulnerable to new exploits or malwares.

2. Purge System Restore, for this one time only. A recovery feature will only be useful if it is clean from malwares. See Windows Vista System Restore Guide for some detail explanations.

3. Update your Antivirus program regularly, it is a must for constant protection against viruses. If you do not have one, Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast are some great and free antivirus programs that you can try. For paid versions, Avast, ESET NOD32 and Kaspersky are some good options. Please keep only one AV installed.

4. Install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware if you haven't and use it occasionally. It is a new and powerful anti-malware tool, totally free but for real-time protection you will have to pay a small one-time fee.

5. Install WinPatrol, a great protection program that helps you monitor for unwanted files or applications. If you choose WinPatrol, please uninstall Spybot.

6. Use a hosts file to block the access of bad sites from your computer. Get yourself a MVPS Hosts for this purpose.

7. Install Web of Trust (WOT). WOT keeps you from dangerous websites with warnings and blockings.

8. Protect your computer from removable or USB drive infections with Panda USB Vaccine, an effective method to prevent malware from spreading.

9. Keep all your softwares updated. Visit Secunia Software Inspector to find out if any updates required.

Thank you very much!!! I cleared up the stuff we used, uninstalled Spybot, and installed WinPatrol. I'm definitely going to follow the other recommendations such as MVPS Hosts and WOT this weekend. I also deleted my old restore files and created a new one while my machine is squeaky clean. I really really appreciate your help!! Thanks a million!
My pleasure :D .

Take care.
