System running slow and accidentally infected computer...

5 min read

This thread's last reply is from August 27, 2008, 6:40 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

After seeing a message popup saying there were 3 worms on the computer, my bookeeper hit "the button" and now I have an icon for "Power-Antivirus-2009". I know this was a huge mistake and was hoping that a system restore would reverse the problem. Nothing is working to help get the computer "back".

Please review the log:

Hi ozdemir,

Since the problem occurred, have you performed a System Restore to an earlier time?
If so, what symptoms have you experienced since performing the System Restore?

Please press Start->Run, copy/paste the following command (it's one long command) into the box and press OK:
regedit /a "%userprofile%\desktop\msconfig.txt" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig"
A file called msconfig.txt should appear on your Desktop, please post the contents in your next response.

  • Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop (right-click the link, select Save Target As..., select your Desktop and press Save)
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to both of these options:
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install 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.
  • Make sure everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When finished, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to your Desktop, and post the contents in your reply.
  • The log can also be found here if you need it:
    • Start->All Programs->Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware->Logs


Next, open HijackThis, select Open the Misc Tools section
Press the Open Uninstall Manager... button, then press Save list...
Save the Uninstall log to your Desktop and include a copy in your next response.
Now press Back and Scan and then Save log to create and save a new HijackThis log.

Once complete, please post the msconfig.txt output, the Malwarebytes Antimalware report, the uninstall list and a new HijackThis log.
Do you still need help with your machine?

If the instructions are unclear or something isn't working, please let me know before proceeding.
Due to a Lack of Response this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Malware Removal forum.
