Title: What is this kind of virus and how do I get rid of it?
Post by: serge928 on January 02, 2010, 09:01:10 AM
Hello, I'll start by saying I'm no expert. My daughter has activated a virus on my computer that infects every program I try to open or download (all antivirus or virus removers can not be opened after being downloaded).  Messages pops up saying application cannot be executed, the file ... is infected. do you want to activate your antivirus software now?. I am offered to buy a antivirus from http://platinumsoft2010.com/purchase?r=59.19 which calls itself "Antivirus live". A blue shield with a white transversal bar appears in my icons at the bottom with a windows security alert. All my attempts to close or or get rid of this virus have failed. My windows security center has been highjacked as has my internet explorer page. I bypassed this by going to firefox. Any help would be appreciated. UPDATE 2 Jan. Thanks to Pondus and Oldman for the help. I followed Pondus advice and got rid of the rogue virus, hurray!!! Happy New year to all.

Hi

Those warnings are from the rogue that has infected you. If possible close the warning window with the X.

 If you post the logs from these 2 scan tools I would be more than happy to have a look.

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here (http://www.gmer.net/gmer.zip) or here (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5198).

**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries


NEXT

Download OTL (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.exe) to your desktop.
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
eventlog.dll
scecli.dll
netlogon.dll
cngaudit.dll
sceclt.dll
ntelogon.dll
logevent.dll
iaStor.sys
nvstor.sys
atapi.sys
IdeChnDr.sys
viasraid.sys
AGP440.sys
vaxscsi.sys
nvatabus.sys
viamraid.sys
nvata.sys
nvgts.sys
iastorv.sys
ViPrt.sys
eNetHook.dll
ahcix86.sys
KR10N.sys
nvstor32.sys
/md5stop
%systemroot%\*. /mp /s


When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply. You may need two posts to fit them all in or attach them.

Please post back withThanks
