    Hi,

    1. Close any open browsers.

    2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

    3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

    File::

    c:\windows\system32\drivers\hslorztm.dat

    Driver::

    iufuwwhs

    Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

    CFScriptB-4.gif

    Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

    When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

    Hello, a.p.barron

    Welcome to the BestTechie Forums. My name is Thomas (Tom is fine), and I will be helping you fixing your problems.

    Please take note of some guidelines for this fix:

    • Refrain from making any changes to your computer including installing/uninstall programs, deleting files, modifying the registry, and running scanners or tools. Doing so could cause changes to the directions I have to give you and prolong the time required. Further more, you should not be taking any advice relating to this computer from any other source throughout the course of this fix.
    • If you do not understand any step(s) provided, please do not hesitate to ask before continuing. I would much rather clarify instructions or explain them differently than have something important broken.
    • Even if things appear to be better, it might not mean we are finished. Please continue to follow my instructions and reply back until I give you the "all clean". We do not want to clean you part-way, only to have the system re-infect itself.
    • Do not start a new topic. The logs that you post should be pasted directly into the reply. Only attach them if requested or if they do not fit into the post.
    • Please set your system to show all files.
      Click Start, open My Computer, select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
      Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
      Uncheck: Hide file extensions for known file types
      Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
      Click Yes to confirm.

    Download Combofix from any of the links below but rename it to <schrauber> before saving it to your desktop.

    Link 1

    Link 2

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Double click on the renamed Combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

    • When finished, it will produce a report for you.
    • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
    • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

    **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

    RcAuto1.gif

    Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

    whatnext.png

    Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

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

    This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.

    ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper

    Hi,

    Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.

    alternate download link 1

    alternate download link 2

    MBAM may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you. Temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes.

    • Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
    • Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    • When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
    • When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
      • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
      • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

      [*]Then click Finish.

    MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

    • If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
    • If you encounter any problems while downloading the definition updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

    On the Scanner tab:

    • Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
    • Then click on the Scan button.
    • If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
    • The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
    • When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
    • Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

    Back at the main Scanner screen:

    • Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
    • The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows MBAM's database version and your operating system.
    • Exit MBAM when done.

    Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

    Also please post back with a fresh OTL logfile.
