Crop your image so it only shows the relevant parts, e.g. the avast alert window, that should reduce the size considerable. You can also save the file as a .gif format, which again should produce a smaller file size. That should bring you under the 200KB limit.

This IP 64.111.211.158 is for ISPrime and is a familiar occurrence in the viruses and worms forum, see http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=81036.msg662629#msg662629.

So you need some specialist help, to get the ball rolling you need to run OTS and attach the log.

Quote from: essexboy
Unfortunately no two attacks are the same so first I will need to see what you have.

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 - Disabled MS Config Items
Reg - Drivers32
Reg - NetSvcs
Reg - SafeBoot Minimal
Reg - Shell Spawning
Evnt - EventViewer Logs (Last 10 Errors)
File - Lop Check

  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
netsvcs
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
volsnap.*
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
/md5stop
%systemroot%\*. /mp /s
hklm\software\clients\startmenuinternet|command /rs
hklm\software\clients\startmenuinternet|command /64 /rs
CREATERESTOREPOINT

  • 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.

Note: this says attach the file (to big for copy and paste, use the Additional Options in the Reply window to attach the file.

If the log file is greater than 200KB - You can use a file sharing site such as Mediafire.com - Upload to http://www.mediafire.com/ and post the sharing link.

We may have missed essexboy as he may well be in bed now 11:30pm in the UK and he has to work days, so may not be back on the forums until tomorrow evening.

utorrent.exe -> C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe

this is a adware.

 C:\Windows\system64\drivers\volsnap.sys

this is a TDL4 rootkit according to the info i have gathered.

try removing the tdl4 rootkit via kaspersky tdss killer.



*]Download TDSSKiller and save it to your Desktop.
  • Extract its contents to your desktop.
  • Once extracted, open the TDSSKiller folder and doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application, then on Start Scan.
     

     
     
  • If an infected file is detected, the default action will be Cure, click on Continue.
     

     
     
  • If a suspicious file is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
     

     
     
  • It may ask you to reboot the computer to complete the process. Click on Reboot Now.
     

     
     
  • If no reboot is require, click on Report. A log file should appear. Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.
  • If a reboot is required, the report can also be found in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.


    download mbam from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

    and get rid of the adware.

    post mbam and tdss logs on next comment.

Ran TDS Killer but it didnt seem to find anything.
Have attached the logs as you requested. Is essexboy about, he seems to be dealing with a lot of people with the same issue.
