FBI Virus Removal

[BARRIOSWJ]

Hello, I posted all my reports to help me with the virus removal this morning under Avast support Forums for Business protection and still haven't received a response from anyone. Can anyone help me with it? I can repost the reports here if needed.

[BARRIOSWJ]

Here are the rest of the reports

[Pondus]

virus problems should be posted in the forum section where you found the guide. .... virus and worms.   

anyway done is done

malware removers are notified, check back late tomorrow as they are all in bed now


OBS... it seems you have avast and McAfee installed?

Hi what are the problems you are experiencing .. As it stands I can see no sign of the ransom malware

[BARRIOSWJ]

If i try and open an application it wants me to select the application to use for opening the application. MBAM keeps popping up stating that it blocked a potentially unsafe ip address. So you think all the programs I ran, removed whatever was remaining and fixed all my shortcuts?

[essexboy]

Are they applications exe files or are the document type files where you get the error ?

Generally MBAM has a bit of an overkill on IP addresses

[BARRIOSWJ]

they are exe applications. For example, I choose Internet Explorer or Avast Application, It open the windows box to "Open With"  and has me select a recommended application.

I think that BARRIOSWJ may have been a victim of the following:

For a fix, look at the following:

If Bob's fix does not work I will reset the associations for you

[BARRIOSWJ]

Bob's fix did not work. Now what?

[bob3160]

If Bob's fix does not work I will reset the associations for you

It isn't my fix but one that Malwarebytes posted.

[essexboy]

OK there is a nice registry fix here which will reset all associations to default, http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html
Initially download and merge the exe file fix to your desktop
Double click the file and allow to merge, has that cured it ?

[BARRIOSWJ]

no...I'm still having issues. none of the merges worked on that fix. It seems though the computer is fixed from the virus but all these extensions are corrupt.

[essexboy]

Could you create another user and see if the problem persists there

[BARRIOSWJ]

It seems though it is just that user profile. New user was able to open everything.
