Malicious URL blocked pop up every 10 mins & root-kit found after every reboot?

[aaronie]

Yes folks, I took my sisters laptop off her to clean it out and after finding over 20 viruses I thought that it was total cleaned but every 5-10 mins i get a notification from avast saying that a malicious url has been blocked.... Also after every boot avast finds a rootkit after about 5 mins of the laptop being on and i delete it every time but its still there after the next boot. Heres the screenshots of the URL's.... the url's change but here is a few examples...








& here is the rootkit screenshot....



I attatched some logs, for some reasin aswMBR wont open for me after i downloaded it even though I click yes as administer to open it, Maybe its the link ? Anyways tell me if you need anything more.

Cheers!!

I don't know whats happining here. I tried executing the tdsskiller but like the aswMBR nothing is happing after I click yes to open it, I didn't try combo yet... should I reboot and try?

[magna86]

Try to rename TDSSKiller.exe into iexplore.exe or in winlogon.exe or some random name... Then try to run TDSSKiller in safe mode.

If it fails to run, skip TDSSK and just run Combofix ( in normal mode ) and attach here Combofix.txt log.

[aaronie]

Ok where do i start.......


While i was waiting for your reply I found this

http://www.explosiveknowledge.net/main/2012/02/25/tdsserror/

ran it and got a log file (attached as ttds2)

then I tried to run combo fix it ran but no logs were being saved.

Note: AV was disabled

Then I came back to this thread saw your post and  went onto IE to save combo fix directly to my desktop (I was dragging it from downloads to desktop).

While I was downloading it it said this file is read only something along them lines. So I changeed this in its properties and ran it and then something saved but not a log see below:





And then in the middle of all of this a BLUE console window popped up with the title as c:\\ Administer

^^ Or whatever way its spelt

starting to think this is a nasty virus!

EDIT : Forgot to attach file
EDIT2: Note: I changed the name of combofix to combofix12

[magna86]

then I tried to run combo fix it ran but no logs were being saved.

Delete old Combofix (drag&drop to recycle bin), download new and fresh Combofix and re-run the tool.

PS: good work for tdsskiller. 

[aaronie]

[aaronie]

P.s Where did you learn this stuff? I'm computer savvy but could learn more in this area.

ComboFix /Uninstall

Note that there is a space between " ComboFix " and " /Uninstall " .

> Re-run OTL and click on CleanUp! button.

You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process, choose Yes.
After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.
Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTL. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.

Re-run AdwCleaner and click on [Uninstall] button.

I recommended to keep Malwarebytes and to use MCShield if you will.
You may download MCShield from one of the following links:

MyCity -  Official download link
Softpedija - Mirror download link

It will prevent infection by computer via USB flash drive, mobile phone or any other memory card.
And not only will prevent infection, but it will immediately clean flash drive, memory card or external HDD.
