Please, I could really use your help. My Norton antivirus lapsed last week, tried to download it again and could not. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. As everything slowed down yesterday I was able to download HijackThis, so I have it if you need it.

Ekelly,
Try downloading spybot search and destroy, and the AVG antivirus, this is what I normally use and my computer is clean, let me know what else I can help you with, thanks.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from one of these sites:
1. Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
2. Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
3. If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
4. Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan. The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
5. When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
6. Make sure that everything found is checked, and click Remove Selected.
7. When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediately.
8. The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
9. Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.
Then post your Hijack This log.

Thank you. I downloaded Malwarebytes on another computer and copied it to CD, but now my computer doesn't recognize the CD drives, neither d nor e. Tried at the command prompt too but no go. Can't download on this computer. Any ideas? Thanks...
ekelly

By the way, tonight I've tried downloading Malwarebytes in safe/networking mode. I can go to most websites just not majorgeeks or any other having to do with virus removal!
ekelly

Can you download Malwarebytes to a cd from a different computer and run it on the infected computer?

I downloaded it at work and then copied it on a CD and ran it from the CD at work...all fine. But on the infected computer, when I try to run it from the CD I get these messages:
vbAccelerator SGrid II Control:
Run-time error "0". Then I click OK and get:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Run-time error '440'
Automation error. Then I click OK and go back to the Run screen.ekelly

It may be because it can't be updated. Run it again and do not check the box to update or run automatically. Just check the box to allow a desktop icon then install it. Minimize the window and start Malwarebytes with the desktop icon.

Thanks...I tried to download to desktop and run it, but still get the same runtime errors I mentioned in a previous post. Also I copied it to my hard drive to try to run it but I get the same errors....Thanks for working on this with me/for me!

Lets try a different tool.
Download SDFix.exe and save it to your Desktop.
Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with SDFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
Click on This Link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
Remember to re-enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the Internet.1.Double click SDFix.exe and choose Install to extract it to its own folder on the Desktop. Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.
2. Open the c:\SDFix folder and double click RunThis.cmd to start the script.
Type Y to begin the script.
It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
3. Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
4. Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt

Here's the sdfix report:

We need to get an antivirus installed on your system before we continue. Get the free version of AVG, that is what I use, you can download it at this link:
AVG Free AntivirusUpdate it once you get it installed.
Please download ComboFix to the desktop from one of the following links:
Combofix is a powerful tool so follow the instructions exactly or you could damage your computer.
Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with Combofix and remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
Click on This Link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.In your case to run Combofix do the following:
1. Go offline turn off your AVG antivirus, Spybot and any other antispyware that you may have.
2. Run Combofix and save its log.
3. Restart the computer to get the antivirus running again but leave the antispyware programs off until we get the computer cleaned.
4. Post the Combofix log.
Remember to re-enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the Internet.
Double-click combofix.exe
Follow the prompts.
(Don't click on the window while the program is running or move the mouse, it will cause your system to hang.)
Please post the log it produces.

I tried to install AVG from 3 different sites including from your link...once "installed" I am told that "the application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling might correct the problem." I even tried reinstalling AVG and checked the "repair installation" box, but still won't install. Here's a new combofix log:

Go to start> control panel> java> general> settings> delete files. ok.
Go to start> control panel> add/remove programs and uninstall this program if found if it is not a program you want to keep:
STK017_V2.01
Then navigate to and delete this folder if found:
C:\Program Files\STK017_V2.01
Next go to start> run> type in combofix /u (note the space after Combofix) then press enter. This will uninstall Combofix and the C:\Qoobox folder.
The following 3 files are said to be safe but I personally do not trust anything from mywebsearch but it is up to you if you want to delete them or not as they are deemed non-destructive adware:
C:\Documents and Settings\Eileen\My Documents\MyFunCardsSetup2.2.60.11-2.ZUfox000(2).exe C:\Documents and Settings\Eileen\My Documents\MyFunCardsSetup2.2.60.11-2.ZUfox000(3).exe C:\Documents and Settings\Eileen\My Documents\MyFunCardsSetup2.2.60.11-2.ZUfox000.exeYour computer should be clean now, how is it operating?

I could not delete the STK017_V2.01 program from Add/Remove...any ideas?
How do I find the files to delete? I looked in Explore and couldn't find.
C:\Documents and Settings\Eileen\My Documents\MyFunCardsSetup2.2.60.11-2.ZUfox000(2).exe C:\Documents and Settings\Eileen\My Documents\MyFunCardsSetup2.2.60.11-2.ZUfox000(3).exe C:\Documents and Settings\Eileen\My Documents\MyFunCardsSetup2.2.60.11-2.ZUfox000.exeOtherwise, it is working great! THANK YOU!!!!! You are amazing.

I didn't see the version of java you have running but it should be version 6 update 7. Go to the java applet again in control panel > click java> view. You should see what version you are running, if not 6u7 then follow the direction to update.
Download the latest version of java from this link Java
Click on the JRE 6 Update 7 download button.
Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement". The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java. Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name. It should have the "coffee cup" icon next to it.
Click the Remove or Change/Remove button. Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed
Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.You should consider adding "Spywareblaster" to your arsenol of antispyware tools, you can download it from this link Spywareblaster
Just download it,install it, and update it. Its free and runs in the background, so you don't actually run it, and re-writes malicious script before it can install on your computer. Look for updates weekly as there is no auto-update on the free version.

I've got java 6u7 thanks. I am running AVG now as you advised earlier and I will download Spywareblaster. Wow, what a great job, thank you so much....you spent the whole weekend on this! I sure hope someone is paying you a lot of money!
