Unable to delete some viruses
« on: July 06, 2014, 05:24:13 PM »
I downloaded the free version of Avast because my computer got infected with Malware and so I did a full system scan and there were 15 total infected file and it managed to delete 12 of them but for the other 3 it said "Error: The system cannot find the file specified (2)", how can I fix this and delete those viruses? (because they are still affecting me).

it usually means the files are not there anymore ...... and a reboot and new scan often comes up clean

File name                                                    Severity   Status                                        Result
b:\program files\...\suprasavingsservice.exe   High  Threat:Win32:BullSave-D[Adw]   Error: The system cannot find the file                 .                                                                                                                                    specified (2)
b:\program files\...\suprasavingsservice.exe   High  Threat:Win32:BullSave-D[Adw]   Error: The system cannot find the file              .                                                                                                                                    specified (2)
b:\program files\...\suprasavingsservice.exe   High  Threat:Win32:BullSave-D[Adw]   Error: The system cannot find the file               .                                                                                                                                    specified (2)

They all seem to be identical but they were detected separately and cannot be remove/deleted.


Symptoms:
Random words on website if you scroll over them it come up with an ad from supra savings
Some videos on website aren't displayed because it says I need to download the newest version of Codec (a Malware Virus - I looked it up on the internet).
Sometime (even on secure site) a pop up appears.

follow instructions here    https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
attach (not copy and paste) Malwarebytes and OTL logs .....

make sure you save OTL as ANSI and not Unicoding

yea, your comp is full of crap files .... and also a trojan detection
PUP = not virus / Possible Unwanted Program .... usually crap that comes bundled with free downloads

did you take any action on them? .... the log dont say   http://blog.malwarebytes.org/news/2013/09/selecting-all-pups/

malware experts are notified and will check logs when they arrive

Could you open the OTL log on your desktop and click File > Save as....  and ensure that the coding is set to ANSI, then save and re-attach please
