OK I am here  ;D

Your problem probably originated here Borderlands.2.Update.V1.4.0.Incl.Ultimate.Vault.Hunter.Upgrade.DLC.Cracked

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks




  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
  • Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.[/b]
Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.

3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

I just cleaned a client's computer that had Tenga- his came through a remote attack where the attacker was trying to run a CounterStrike server off the machine.  Anyhow, Avast started automatically moving infected files to quarantine which was not ideal.  Tried a boot-time scan but all it could do was delete files as none of them could be dis-infected.  Thankfully, after the 3rd file, I quit the scan and booted back into safe mode.

I found Avast's Aswclnr.exe which is a cleaner specifically for Tenga.  Over 2900 files were infected, pretty much every exe on the PC whether it had been run or not.  The cleaner managed to dis-infect all but a couple exe files.

Note- during this, I had to turn Avast off 'permanently' so I didn't lose any more files to quarantine.  After the first run of Aswclnr.exe, I then restored the files that Avast had quarantined and ran the tool again to clean those.

Highly recommend you get this tool and use it- nothing else I tried would clean the files, they all just wanted to delete.  You do NOT want to clean up that mess!

Download AswClnr to your desktop
Disable all Antivirus programmes
Right click the file on the desktop and select "Run as Administrator"

Press Start Scanning
Once it has completed there will be a log on the desktop called aswclnr.txt
Please attach that
