Try this

TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/
TFC requires a reboot immediately after running. Be sure to save any unsaved work before running TFC.

rescan with avast! and see if it is gone ?

also check for malware with

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
always run update before you scan so you have the latest database
click on the remove selected button to quarantine anything found
you may post the scan log here

Report the result...

Many thanks!!

Fantastically quick response and the right answer as well. The first solution mentioned - tfc - did the trick. Avast scan afterwards still identified the threat, however I was now able to move to chest.

Again, thank you!

Re: Scan Threat - RECURRENCE (pondus)
« Reply #3 on: October 17, 2010, 10:28:50 AM »
Celebrated too early...... I normally put the machine in 'sleep' mode but when I shut down and restarted the problem recurred exactly as before. So the same problem is now back. I then ran the Malwarebytes option - it found nothing. By the way I ran Malwarebytes right after Avast re-identified the earlier problem at start-up. See log below for Malwarebytes scan.
Any other suggestions please to get rid of this porblem? Thanks.

you can try running some more cleaners if you want ?

SuperAntiSpyware 4.44.1000 http://filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/ 
Dr.Web CureIt http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en
How Do I Use Dr.Web CureIt!? http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/how_it_works/
Norman Malware Cleaner http://www.norman.com/support/support_tools/58732/en-us

Norman and DrWeb is not installed, you save to desktop and run from there, when done you can just drag them to the bin

If none of the above work, then do this

Follow this guide form our expert malware remover Essexboy and post the log`s here

To avoid using multiple post with copy and paste you have to attach the log`s

Pondus, just to keep you posted, I continue to have issues but have not exhausted all of your suggestions. I thought I had things fixed and then I suddenly got a Windows Vista start-up problem. Could not get to the desktop window in vista due to a windows error messsage that said: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library -> This application  has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." Of course Microdoft does not help due to the OEM status of my package.Impossible to get past this error message. Have to then shut down, restart F8 (Toshiba laptop) and go to an earlier restore point, in order to get Vista running again and circumvent the error message. But every time I shut down and restart the problem recurs. I just ran Avast again and it gives the original virus detection problem. Now running Norman as per your suggestion. It'a pain. But like I said, not everything doen yet that you had suggested. Hope the Vista thing is not something "in addition to", but is related to the original virus threat. Thanks.

So, all done as suggested. MBAM and OTL logs are attached. I earlier ran all the suggested cleaners. Trojan.Blabkmailer.1680 was found and moved by DrWebCureIt. Problems persist: (1) Avast keeps finding the infected TEMP files as mentioned in the earlier post and remains unable to clean. (2) Windows Vista at start-up runs into the error message on Microsoft Visual C++ that is mentioned in the earlier post. I have done a repair on Visual C++ but appears to have no effect. Would appreciate help. Thanks. Andre'

Have a quick look at my picture, open the log then select save as and ensure that ANSI is selected

A question - did you install windows remote management ?

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:


Link 1
Link 2


* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop


  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you.  Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
