Post by: Ambobaba on February 11, 2014, 09:08:05 AM
Shortcut virus - location: cmd (C:\Windows\System32) ????

Dear all and TwinHeadedEagle:

I read a topic related to the virus above and the solution that was offered included the following steps:

Download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop -  Post logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.
download GMER, AntiRootkit tool from the link below and save it to your Desktop - Attach Gmer logreports.
download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool by Farbar and save it to your desktop - Please attach it to your reply log (FRST.txt)  and log (Addition.txt).

then TwinHeadedEagle provided a code to past in the computer but the solution says it was based on that particular computer and topic and it should not be used by other.

I have the same virus and I followed the steps above and I was hoping that i can get the code that is suitable to my computer and case based on the attached logs

Thank you in advance for you time

Ambo  ::)

Please download Anti-VBSVBE (http://www.mcshield.net/download/tools/Anti-VBSVBE/) and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

Download attached fixlist.txt to your Desktop.
NOTE: => It's important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.


Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needed a restart please make sure you let the system to restart normally and let the tool completes its run after restart.

The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
Note: If the tool warned you about the outdated version please download and run the updated version.

It says: No fixlist.txt found
The fixlist.txt should be in the same folder/directory the tool is located  :-\

Ok :)



The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix (http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/downloads/finish/20-outils-de-xplode/9-delfix) by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;

(http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png) Create registry backup
(http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png) Purge System Restore

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

Thank you once more.
