This is gonna be a lengthy one... I got hit hard yesterday by trojans when googling for a movie torrent...obviously went to an infected site. The trojans prevented me from running AV, CCleaner, Anti-Malware, etc. I couldn't even boot into safe mode. I download Trojan Remover 6.7.9 on my other PC, copied to a thumbdrive drive, then installed & ran it on the infected PC. That got *most* of the nasties & allowed me to run my other anti-virus / anti-spy /CCleaner / regcleaner programs. I ran everything from Safe mode with my DSL modem switched off. It took a couple of times to finally get everything out but it *appears* to be clean. Subsequent checks have come up clean. This system has been 100% stable for several years but now I'm experiencing explorer crashes. I tried resetting IE7 but that didn't help. I uninstalled/reinstalled flash, but that didn't help either. I tried running HiJackThis but didn't see anything that stood out so I posted the log in the Analyzer...it came up clean. So I downloaded & ran RootkitRevealer. That showed a couple of suspicious entries which I was able to remove, but the problems continue. I started looking thru some of the folders & doing a general cleanup but found three suspicious entries in C:\windows\temp that I couldn't delete. I have Unlocker installed so I right clicked on the files, unlocked them, then the processes that they're related to is displayed. Here's what is listed: Process - services.exe Path locked - C:\Windows\Temp\$67we.$ PID - 708 Handle - 1164 Process Path - C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe Process - services.exe Path locked - C:\Windows\Temp\$$$dq3e PID - 708 Handle - 1660 Process Path - C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe Process - services.exe Path locked - C:\Windows\Temp\$$yt7.$$ PID - 708 Handle - 1608 Process Path - C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe Once I unlock them, I can delete them, but they reappear on the next reboot. I tried googling those file names & ran across others with the same problem, but didn't find a definite solution. Here are the current symptoms: - random explorer crashes - two BSOD (so far) - one for irql_not_less_or_equal, the other for bad_pool_caller - HDD activity light blinks about every 5 seconds when system is idle. Event viewer doesn't help much. Nothing at all listed under Security or IE, but there are some Errors & Warnings listed under Applications. I'm trying to avoid a reformat/reinstall. Any ideas or suggestion on what to try?? Thanks.

Download and run Kaspersky AVP tool: http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com... Once you download and start the tool: # Check below options: * Select all the objects/places to be scanned. # Click Scan # Fix what it detects # Zip/Rar Scan log/Summary and upload it to rapidshare.com. Post download link in your next message. Illustrated tutorial: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/76... If I'm helping you and I don't reply within 24 hours send me a PM.

Kaspersky won't even install. AVG Free found nothing...neither did MalwareBytes AntiMalware or SuperAntiSpyware Remover. I'm trying Trend Micro Housecall online scanner to see if it finds anything.

Run kaspersky in safe mode. If I'm helping you and I don't reply within 24 hours send me a PM.

Whatever has infected my system will not allow Kaspersky to install...not in normal mode or safe mode. HouseCall found a 1/2 dozen trojans & removed them, but I'm still having problems. Right now I'm running the Trinity Rescue Live CD.

Note: I can help you remove malware manually. Please avoid installing/uninstalling or updating any programs and attempting any unsupervised fixes or scans. This can make helping you impossible. First Track this topic. Then follow: 1) Can you please post your AVZ log: Note: Run AVZ in windows normal mode. If avz.exe doesn't start, then try to rename the file avz.exe to something else and try to run it again. Make sure you have your web browser open in background before following the steps below. i) To create the log file, download AVZ by clicking HERE. Please save this file to your desktop or "My Documents" folder. ii) Next, unpack the file to a new folder using the Compressed (zipped) folders wizard built into Windows XP/Vista, or a zip utility of your choice. iii) Once you have unpacked the contents of the zip archive, please launch the file AVZ.exe by double clicking on it or right clicking and selecting Open. Note: If you are running Windows vista launch AVZ.exe by right clicking and selecting Run as Administrator. You should now see the main window of the AVZ utility. Please navigate to File->Custom Scripts. Copy the script below by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C or the corresponding option via right click. begin ExecuteAVUpdateEx( 'http://avz.virusinfo.info/avz_up/', 1, '','',''); ExecuteStdScr(3); RebootWindows(true); end. Paste the script into the execution window by using CTRL+V keyboard shortcut, or the "paste" option via the right click menu. Click on Run to run the script, the PC will reboot. After the reboot the LOG subfolder is created in the folder with AVZ, with a file called virusinfo_syscure.zip inside. Upload that file to rapidshare.com and paste the link here. Image Tutorial 2) Download and Run DDS which will create a Pseudo HJT Report as part of its log: DDS Tool Download Link. When done, DDS will open two (2) logs 1. DDS.txt 2. Attach.txt Upload the logs to rapidshare.com and paste download link in your next reply. Note: Disable any script-blocking programs and then double-click on the DDS.scr icon to start the program. If you did not disable a script-blocker that may be part of your antimalware program, you may receive a warning from your antimalware product asking if you would like DDS.scr to run. Please allow it to do so. If I'm helping you and I don't reply within 24 hours send me a PM.
