medfos.B possible infection
« on: June 10, 2013, 12:05:57 AM »
Hello. I believe that I may have a medfos.B infection. Avast seems to block the redirection, but I am looking for help in isolating and removing the redirection commands. I am posting the logs for the scans that have been performed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I will post the Rouge Killer files on the next post.

Hi let me know if this kills the alerts

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
O4 - HKLM..\Run: [wiseda] C:\Documents and Settings\Donavan\Application Data\wiseda.dll (Corporation)
O16 - DPF: {E06E2E99-0AA1-11D4-ABA6-0060082AA75C} (Reg Error: Value error.)
[2013/05/21 08:58:03 | 000,421,888 | ---- | C] (Mise Technology,Inc) -- C:\Documents and Settings\Donavan\Application Data\mgxphv.dll
[2013/05/21 08:57:57 | 000,626,688 | ---- | C] (Corporation) -- C:\Documents and Settings\Donavan\Application Data\wiseda.dll

: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.

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:

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
    Quote
    :Commands
    [resethosts]
    [emptytemp]
    [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
     [Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

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 To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide  How did I get infected in the first place ?Keep safe  :wave:
