Got infected on 9/1 and have tried SDFIX, MBAM, Spybot S&D, HJThis fixes among others but to no avail. What seems like success has ended with reinfection when connecting internet cable to PC. Hopefully I haven't created a huge mess, and your trained eyes can still provide support.
I saved combofix as "alg.exe". And ran ComboFix, which appeared to be working fine until running into a problem at the very end when attempting to generate a log file. Notepad pops up and a window says "Cannot find the \ComboFix.txt file. Do you want to create a new file?" When I click yes nothing happens and I am left with a blank notepad. Also interestingly, the Combofix which i had saved as "alg.exe" reverts back to "Combofix" on the desktop.
Ps. I clicked no for installing the Microsoft windows recovery console part, is that the issue?
Thank you in advance for helping me. I am hopeful and looking forward to your guidance.
1. With my network cable disconnected, I ran combofix in SafeMode and it was quickly interrupted by a pop up window stating "ComboFix is uninstalled". I click "Ok" and the file is removed from the desktop
2. I tried downloading combofix again. But this time I saved is as "alg1". Previously, I had saved as combofix and renamed file to alg when dragging to desktop. The 2nd try worked! Unfortunately, the computer restarted in normal mode, and gets snagged by the "Cannot find the \ComboFix.txt file. Do you want to create a new file?" when combofix tries to create log file. >__< I will try to force a safemode load after combofix restarts system to see if that will resolve issue.
3. From what I saw on the screen, it looks like my infections consist of braviax/cru629/beep/wisd* something.
4. As it is getting late, I will post this update for now, and the combofix log shortly if the safe mode restart method is successful.
5. I will be likely home tomorrow at 5-6pm PST for more thorough updates/investigation if you happen to be available as well.
Ack, so this time in safe mode it didn't restart but met the same error when attempting to create a log at the end of the scan. "Cannot find the \ComboFix.txt file. Do you want to create a new file?" Clicking yes/no/cancel all ends up with a blank opened txt file titled ComboFix. I tried pasting (control V) but nothing on the clipboard.
I did see an odd directory C:\Qoobox which had the following files: Folder: BackEnv Folder: Quarantine txt: Add-remove Programs txt: ComboFix-quarantined-files file: LogA Dat: SnapShot@2009-09-04_08.02.18
The timestamps on these files seem to match a few minutes after I completed scan so I think they are related. Here is what was in the combofix quarantined files txt:
Back home. Current update is that I still have a red suspicious icon "You computer is infected!" as well as PC Antispyware 2010 pop ups; i think the reason is i connected back to the internet to post this log.
