Cannot Reboot
« on: May 22, 2008, 01:02:50 AM »
When I started avast, the splash screen came up, and said it was testing my memory. Soon enough, it found a virus, so I asked avast to remove it for me. After avast finished scanning, it said that I should restart my computer so it can perform a check and delete the found virus. When I pressed OK, it said "A required privilege is not held by this client, avast cannot reboot operating system," and the program just ended. It didn't restart or anything. Can someone help me, please?

You need to login as an administrator to schedule a boot time scanning.
Are you using Windows XP/Vista?
Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning.
Select for scanning archives.
Boot.
If infected files are found, it's safer to send them to Chest instead of deleting them.
This way you can further analysis them.

I also suggest:

1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
2. Clean your temporary files.
3. Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
4. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest avast! antirootkit or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.
5. Make a HijackThis log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner log to to on-line analysis.
6. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster or Windows Advanced Care.
7. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector.

I'm using Vista.

It says the boot-time scan is already scheduled, but nothing seems to happen when I boot.

How do I disable system restore?

Are the temporary files the files in Application Data? Can I delete all of those?

I'm running Spyware Terminator now. It's finding many infected files. None critical, though.

I'll run avast antiroot after Spyware Terminator, since it's asking me to close all programs before starting.

What's a hijackthis log? a type of spyware remover?

I downloaded Spyware Blaster.

I also scanned with Secunia.

Disable System Restore on Windows ME, XP or Vista. System Restore cannot be disabled on Windows 9x and it's not available in Windows 2k. After boot you can enable System Restore again after step 3. To use System Restoration it's necessary to disable avast! self-protection: avast! settings > Troubleshooting > Disable avast! self-defence module then start a System Restore.

Are the temporary files the files in Application Data? Can I delete all of those?
You can use CleanUp or the Windows Advanced Care features for that.

I downloaded hijackthis, and scanned with it, but I don't know what to delete.

Also, why should I disable system restore? Isn't that a bad thing?

There are a lot of 'automatic' hijackthis log analyzers that could help. Other people can do it here. Sorry, I'm not an expert on it.

Also, why should I disable system restore? Isn't that a bad thing?
You will disable and then enable again. You will delete the infected restore points, a trick that a lot of viruses use to come back and reinfect the system.

Oh, okay. I'll disable system restore for a little while then.

I used hijackthis, and I accidentally deleted something important. It was a dll, and I think it was the one that controls my laptop's built-in mouse pad. The dll's name was "fccdefeb.dll" If anyone can help me get this back, that would be great. Maybe a website to download dll's? I have a compaq, by the way.

Or into Compaq drivers download page ;)

Well i helped you to search for that dll and there's no answer provided.

Can you make a system restore to the previous?

Than redo everything as Tech said.

OR you can get some help to search for that dll on some website ect. Computing

A little tip.

When you delete/fix something with HJT, you do not remove the file or dll or whaatever. It's just the registry key, that can be restored. Looking at the name of the file, I don't think it's a good one to have around. BTW, the dll is still on your computer if one of the other programs you ran didn't remove it.

Post your HJT log and don't fix anything else with it untill advised to  do so.

Hi
This log looks free from malware. There are several entries to legitimate programs with missing files.

Since you didn't say which file avast removed, we can't be sure it wasn't the dll you are concerned with.

If you do a google search for fccdefeb.dll , you will see that file does not exist anywhere. If it were compaq related the internet would be full of references to it.

What symptoms are you experiencing?

Also, why should I disable system restore? Isn't that a bad thing?

Normally system restore is left on untill after the system  is cleaned. Then the old infected restore points are removed. This way if a problem is encountered, there still is a way back.

"A required privilege is not held by this client, avast cannot reboot operating system,"

This may very well be vista rights related.
