Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

Can't. Restarted in Safe Mode, and whenever I click on to run the program, with or without Run as Administrator, explorer.exe crashes, and resets back to the Help / Support screen that initially pops up when restarting in safe mode.

EDIT2: I just noticed that the file I tried to use may not have been the original FRST, so I'm going to try the original FRST in safe mode now.

EDIT: After deleting the original virus in Roaming, the virus threw a tantrum for the reannewscomm WITHOUT running FRST, at restarting, stating for Register Server that it couldn't be found.

However the other viruses has returned in force.

The popups go away before I can grab screenshots, but the files they are trying to use are in C:/Windows/System32/ : All by a new virus called "xml.infinity.info.com"
- conhost.exe
- msiexec.exe
- explorer.exe
- ctfmon.exe
- PresentationHost.exe
- msdtc.exe
- taskhost.exe
- notepad.exe (found in windows)

If none of the fixes here will solve the problem, I will be forced to use the last resort option, which is to contact my ISP and see if they can block the servers from contacting me (as they'd have to send their signals and viruses through my ISP to do it). However, I'm reticent to do this as I'm not sure it will work OR if they could do it.

[jason.roberts10000]

Nope, wouldn't work in Safe Mode. So I ran it in normal mode, and it "appears" to have killed the virus.

I had no popup for register server at boot up this time. And haven't yet had any other Avast popups.

I'll remain watchful for the rest of the day to ensure it isn't hiding somewhere, but I believe that finally did it so...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

Uploading fixlog just in case.

[essexboy]

Looks like the main miscreant was hiding in the program data folder

Could I have one final FRST scan to check please

[jason.roberts10000]

Sure I can do that. Here are the logs.

[essexboy]

Now the programme data folder has gone the trigger is revealed

Let me know of any problems after this

Ok, did that. Here is the fixlog.

I couldn't find that file manually before fixing it, as the folder didn't exist anymore in ProgramData, but I'm sure there is a good reason you suggested doing it so I did it anyway. Appears that whatever you wanted removed got removed.

Need any more scans?

[essexboy]

That was just an orphan task, I like tidy

Any further problems ?

[jason.roberts10000]

Nope. None have reared their ugly head for the past few days. Thank you very much for your assistance!

[essexboy]
