Hi, I can copy the file, but cannot paste it in the file box. When I browse for the file, where do I look? Both programs only allow you to brows for the file.

If I copy what you sent, where do I paste it so I can browse for it.

Thanks

I'm confused.. If you browse for it, are you not seeing it in the Windows > System32 folder?

neonfx,

Sorry for the delay, have been away all weekend.

Finally managed to locate missing file.

Hope the attached virscan is what you are looking for.

That didn't work. We'll need a bigger hammer.

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.
  • Right click on the Avenger.zip folder and select "Extract All..."
  • Follow the prompts and extract the avenger folder to your desktop
2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):

Code:
Files to move:
C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$\ws2_32.dll | C:\WINDOWS\System32\ws2_32.dll

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.


3. Now, open the avenger folder and start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon.
  • Right click on the window under Input script here:, and select Paste.
  • You can also click on this window and press (Ctrl+V) to paste the contents of the clipboard.
  • Click on Execute
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:
  • It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Delete", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply.



After that's done, please scan the same file again at one of the online scanning websites and post the results here.

I didn't want to have to resort to this but now we have to.... Please do the following:


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. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : Disabling Security Programs
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

    Note: Combofix will run without the Recovery Console installed.
  • 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.




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




Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

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

Notes:

1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
3. Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you please let me know. A increasing number of infections are spreading using Autoplay and leaving it disabled is a good idea.
4. CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

This is exactly what I wanted to see

Infected copy of c:\windows\system32\ws2_32.dll was found and disinfected
Restored copy from - c:\system volume information\_restore{106CF321-99A3-4E3A-9103-1BD027606A99}\RP155\A0154869.dll


Please do the following:

1. Close any open open programs before running the fix.

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

3. Open Notepad (Start > Programs > Accessories) and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

Code:
KillAll::

FCopy::
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\beep.sys | c:\windows\system32\drivers\beep.sys
c:\windows\$hf_mig$\KB951748\SP3QFE\tcpip.sys | c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys
c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\powrprof.dll | c:\windows\system32\powrprof.dll
NOTE: Make sure WordWrap is unchecked in Notepad by clicking on the "Format" menu icon.

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




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.

For some reason one of them didn't copy over properly... Let's try it again. Otherwise, how's the computer running?

Please do the following:

1. Close any open open programs before running the fix.

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

3. Open Notepad (Start > Programs > Accessories) and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

Code:
FCopy::
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\powrprof.dll | c:\windows\system32\powrprof.dll
NOTE: Make sure WordWrap is unchecked in Notepad by clicking on the "Format" menu icon.

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

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

Excellent. Let's run another Kaspersky scan. It should be quicker now that you've downloaded most of the files.

Also, try your computer out and let me know if you spot anything we need to take care of.

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit Kaspersky Online Scanner

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.



2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
  • Close any open programs
  • Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan. Click HERE to see how to disable the most common antivirus programs.

3. Click Run at the Security prompt.


The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.


Please be patient as this can take quite a long time to download.
  • Once the update is complete, click on Settings.
  • Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
    • Spyware, adware, dialers, and other riskware
    • Archives
    • E-mail databases

  • Click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
  • Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
  • Click View report... at the bottom.
  • Click the Save report... button.

  • Change the Files of type dropdown box to Text file (.txt) and name the file KasReport.txt to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply
