Win32:Sirefef-zt & -pl found

[essexboy]

I am seeing no sign of conduit on the logs.. Where are you seeing it

Also I would recommend you uninstall the mega codec pack you have and replace it with one from this list http://majorgeeks.com/geek_search.html?cx=partner-pub-6960825562757852%3Ar7irnq-hn6c&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=codec+pack

Unfortunately .. And this is only my opinion .. I have found that Firefox and Chrome are more prone to being suborned than IE

Have you had any further alerts ?

Conduit was on there before I got the other stuff. I didn't even know there was a mega codec pack installed on my computer and were do I find it to replace it with what you suggesting?. I had another family member in my house that used my computer I'm assuming this is were all them stemed from which I have no put a stop to. The most recent alert I got was yesterday and now today for the win32:malware-gen that was blocked I have attached new logs I just ran a few minutes ago. When I ran the OTL program I didn't get an extras log this time like I did the last.

The rest of the logs that wouldn't fit on last post. Thank You for taking the time to help me it is very much appreciated.

This is the pack I was talking about C:\Program Files (x86)\Mega Codec Pack there should be an entry for it in the control panel > Programs and Features section

All the logs look good, how is the computer behaving ?

[Sunnieb096]

I'm still getting the win32:malware-gen when I scan my computer. I have attached a picture of my avast if this helps & a picture of what is in my programs and features I don't see any codec but very possible I'm looking in the wrong place. I wish I was more computer knowledgeable.

OK I will remove them with OTL include that spurious folder (it is a mega codec one)

However first download a codec pack from my list as removal this way may break the file associations for the media player
This would be my recommendation |MG| CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) 2013-03-02 ...
Once removed then install the new codecs and they will reset the associations

dont go away yet as essexboy will remove the tools used when done   

[essexboy]

Subject to no further problems   

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Remove ComboFix

• Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
  
• In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall
   (Notice the space between the "x" and "/")
  then click OK
  
  
  
  
• Follow the prompts on the screen
• A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

• Click Start.
• Open My Computer.
• Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
  
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

Clear Restore Points

Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools
Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administrator
When it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appear
Select More Options tab
Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button


Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update
