[Graham77777]

Hello,
Since today, out of the blue, audio adverts have been playing in the background on my computer even if I have no programs running, any idea how to sort this? I've scanned my computer with different programs and none of them have sorted it.
Here's the Hijack this report, thanks in advance.

Hi

Please do the following:



Please download MBRCheck.exe to your desktop.

• Be sure to disable your security programs
• Double click on the file to run it (Vista and Windows 7 users will have to confirm the UAC prompt)
• A window will open on your desktop
• if an unknown bootcode is found you will have further options available to you, at this time press N then press Enter twice.
• If nothing unusual is found just press Enter
• A .txt file named MBRCheck_mm.dd.yy_hh.mm.ss should appear on your desktop.
• Please post the contents of that file.

Please download DDS from either of these links

LINK 1
LINK 2

and save it to your desktop.

• Disable any script blocking protection
• Double click dds.pif to run the tool.
• When done, two DDS.txt's will open.
• Save both reports to your desktop.

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

Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here to your desktop. It will be a randomly named executable.

• Double click the exe file.
• If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO, then use the following settings for a more complete scan.
  
  
  Click the image to enlarge it
  
• In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Ensure the following are unchecked
  • IAT/EAT
  • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
  • Show All (don't miss this one)
• Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
• Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.
  
• Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and attach it in reply.

**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

[Graham77777]

Sorry, I managed to solve this myself,
I used combofix, to find that the rootkit I was infected with was called Whistler Bootkit, and I then used MBRcheck to fix my startup script. Thanks anyway

[CatByte]

thanks for letting me know.

I glad it worked out for you this time, but the developer of combofix does not advocate the use of it on your own, it is an extremely powerful tool and can render a machine inoperable if used improperly.

Did you clean it up properly?
