Firstly, you must be registered on the forums. To do this, click the following link and follow the on-screen directions:

Next, have a read of the Rules and Guidelines for the Malware Removal Forum.

Before posting to the forums and beginning any fixes, we strongly advise that you take some safety precautions.

Create A System Restore Point

Download SysRestorePoint to your desktop and unzip it to it's own folder.
  • Double click SysRestorePoint.exe so that we can make a new system restore point.
  • A box will pop up after it has made a new point, usually after a few seconds. Close that window and exit the program.

    CREATERESTOREPOINT



  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time



Download the GMER Rootkit Scanner. Unzip it to your Desktop.

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any
"<--- ROOKIT" entries unless advised by a trained Security Analyst

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.
  • Click NO
  • In the right panel, you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked ... leave everything checked and ensure the Show all box is Unchecked.
  • Now click the Scan button.
    Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
  • Click OK.
  • GMER will produce a log. Click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "GMER.txt"
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

Post the contents of GMER.txt in your next reply.



Starting a New Topic

Now we need to start a new topic in the Malware Removal Forum. To do this, click the following link:
>>Create New Topic<<

In the "Topic Title" and "Topic Description" fields, type a title and description that we can identify your problem with.

For Example:

Topic Title: Virtumonde Infection
Topic Description: IE Popups and Security Warnings

Then, type a detailed description of your problem in the main text area. This will aid us in analyzing your problem and devising a fix for you. The more information you can give us, the better.

Finally, post the OTL and GMER logs so we can get started at fixing your problem.



Your topic has now been created. A member of staff will help you as soon as they can. Please bear in mind that all the staff here have real lives as well as helping out at many forums, so we will not always be able to attend to your thread as quickly as we would like. If this is the case and you haven't received a reply within 3 days of posting your topic, add a reply to this thread with a link to your topic in the Malware Removal Forum. We will attend to your thread as soon as we can.

You can help us by not replying to your own thread (helpers look for threads with 0 replies, starting with the oldest), and by reading the Rules and Guidelines for the Malware Removal Forum thread.

Thanks,

With Regards,
The 247Fixes Staff
