Here you go do this run and attach the log to see if I missed any waifs and strays

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here.

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.
Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

OK. I'll do it right now, it is already downloading the program.

But I still have one process or service in MSCONFIG's startup tab, called FUTUR. It has an "unknown" manufacturer and exe file of that service is at:


C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\zihooqu.exe

And it looks very malignant for me.

This service did not exist before few days.

I will post the report of The Malwarebytes when it finishs.


Thanks

CUPIC i noticed in one of your logs that you still have MSE on your system, even though it is disabled it is not recommended to have two or more av's on a system at one time.
Actually you also have some symantic/norton stuff still on there to, you can find removal tools here
http://uninstallers.blogspot.com/ scroll down the list to 23b and 26a,remember to delet the program's though add remove program's first then run the tool for each with reboot's inbetween,If you have deleted norton previously then just run the tool anyway to get rid of leftovers, when done finally clean your system with ccleaner.
And dont forget to follow the rest of essexboy's advice  :)

@ craigb,

I believe this is an empty entry in the last ComboFix, but it would be best for Essexboy to take a look at this.

I don't have two (or more) AV programs, the MSE is on my comuter for a logn time, I download it once when I updated Windows. When I was running Combofix and OTL i was disable MSE and Spybot.

Symantic Norton? I have never installed that AV on my machine.

I have one undefined process on a computer that can not be excluded.

I agree too.

Doesn't matter if MSE is disabled, there will still be low level driver's that are running so it should be uninstalled if you haven't already.

OK we will look in that area with a slightly different tool as it is more versatile - what problems do you have at the moment

Download OTS to your Desktop and double-click on it to run it
  • Make sure you close all other programs and don't use the PC while the scan runs.
  • Select All Users
  • Under additional scans select the following
Reg - NetSvcs
Reg - Disabled MS Config Items
Reg - Shell Spawning
File - Lop Check
File - Purity Scan


  • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar. Make sure not to use the PC while the program is running or it will freeze.
  • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  • Please attach the log in your next post.

Well looky what I found - I like this programme for its flexibility.  One of your users would have had problems logging in

The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup telling you that it is finished. Click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix.  Post that information back here

I will review the information when it comes back in.

I did everything as you said.

First, I turn off all runing programs. And I paste the fixes into "Paste fix here".

During the first scan, the program has stopped working. Windows has terminate the OSL.exe.

After that, I run OSL.exe again and it required computer to reboot.

BUT the OSL doesn't made any LOG file!

After that, Spybot S&D asks me to allow something and I allowed.

Well looky what I found - I like this programme for its flexibility.  One of your users would have had problems logging in


One of my useres?

My brother used the computer a few months ago, but now he has his own leptop and I'm the only one user of this computer.

Thank you very much!

And, sorry, my english is disaster, I'm a beginner.

Well it is 2:05am in the UK so essexboy will be in bed and not back on the forums until after he finishes work tomorrow.

Do you mean run OTS again as there is no mention of running OSL. So the last thing he asked for was to run OTS again and copy and paste the contents of the code box into the Paste fix here and click the Run Fix button.

So I would suggest you try that again, and ensure that you follow this first instruction:
Make sure you close all other programs and don't use the PC while the scan runs. This includes avast for the duration of the scan.

I don't know if the run fix produces a log, if not then run OTS again so that it produces a log after the fix to see if anything else needs to be done.
