Hi essex. I'm on skype with Hack/Bailey. I'll hand the file over here in a second. He's worried about the malware spreading to his network. Should he be worried?

Most exe files still will not run.

I would recommend that he disconnect from the network.  What are the current symptoms

Most EXE's will not run, mostly skype and games. Random refresh of all .ico files on desktop.

OK lets get a full analysis on the system
This is a two part run.  First we will get a second opinion scan then run an analysis on the remnants.  The zip file will need to be uploaded to a file sharing site for collection 

 Download AVPTool from Here to your desktop
 
Run the programme you have just downloaded to your desktop ( it will be randomly named )
 
First we will run a virus scan
Select the cog to access scan areas


On the first tab select all elements down to OS C and then select start scan 


 Once it has finished select reports and post the detected threats
.

Now an analysis scan
Select the Manual Disinfection tab 
Press the Gather System Information button 
 


Once it has completed then click Step 2 Report sending


Click avptool.sysinfo.zip
And you will be taken to the zip file that needs to be attached

Depends on how large the drive is.  You can let it run for 20 minutes or so and see if it reports anything and then stop and go direct to the analysis scan (that takes about 5 minutes )

Okay, he stopped the scan at 30mins. However, there is no Manual Disinfection. Any other ideas?

Edit: I've given Temp access to my account for Bailey. After this is done, I'll change my password.

This is the analysis scan and will take but a few minutes

From the scan I will be able to generate a disinfection script

Now an analysis scan
Select the Manual Disinfection tab 
Press the Gather System Information button 
 


Once it has completed then click Step 2 Report sending


Click avptool.sysinfo.zip
And you will be taken to the zip file that needs to be attached

Intriguing..  Did it detect anything whilst running ?

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
 
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
 
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from. 
  • Please copy and paste log back here.
  • The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.
