Possible Malware Infestation(Help)
« on: December 20, 2012, 03:58:43 AM »
Recently went to visit my brother.... long story short, he runs UTorrent a lot with no antivirus.

Installed Malwarebytes, and followed infection guide.

Thank you for your time.

[FIXED](Silly firefox)Cannot attach logs....

Hi what are the current problems ?

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following


Code: [Select]
:OTL
[2012/08/19 15:16:02 | 000,005,133 | ---- | M] () (No name found) -- C:\Users\Dr.Prof.Sexy\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\cs1axc0r.default\extensions\50314953e85d2@50314953e860a.info.xpi
[2012/12/05 22:27:43 | 000,000,000 | ---D | M] (Default) -- C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}

:Commands
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

There aren't any noticeable problems as of yet(except for ads...), but I've identified iLivid, WinMate and Tuneup360.

Where are the ads appearing ? 

CLEAR THE BAD TOOLBARS

Download AdwCleaner from here to your desktop
Run AdwCleaner and select Delete



Once done it will ask to reboot, allow this
On reboot a log will be produced please attach that

Ads were appearing on googles homepage and elsewhere but are gone now(beforeadwcleaner).

WinMate.exe still asks for permission on startup.

Personally I would uninstall winmate from the system, these so called optimisers do not really achieve a lot

What is happening is that it does not have sufficient privileges to run under windows 7 so ask to ask each time

Unistalled WinMate.

Noticed something else today, Malwarebytes has detected a malicious process sttempting to start, and has blocked the execution attempt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Super Meat Boy\Uninstall.exe
Malware.Packer.Krunchy

With the buttons

Disable Protection | Ignore | Quarantine

...Is this a problem? What should I choose?
