Double-click the FindAWF icon once again
If a Security Alert shows, allow the program to run.
As instructed, press any key to continue.

Next, close and click Yes to save the changes.
Once files.txt is saved, FindAWF does the following:
-It attempts to terminate the process represented by each filename on the list, if running
-Deletes the rogue file from the parent folder, if present
-Copies the original file to the parent folder
When done with the above, it automatically runs a new scan and opens a new log.
Please provide the new FindAWF log in your reply.

Please download and install the latest version of HijackThis v2.0.2:


Download the "HijackThis" Installer from this link:
Hijack This


1. Save " HJTInstall.exe" to your desktop.
2. Double click on HJTInstall.exe to run the program.
3. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
4. Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
5.Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
6. Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in Notepad.
7. Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
8. Paste the log in your next reply.
9. Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Double-click the FindAWF icon once again
If a Security Alert shows, allow the program to run.
As instructed, press any key to continue.
Use the following option:

Press 2 then Enter to restore files from bak folders
A text file opens called: files.txt
Copy/paste the following list of bolded files to be restored:


C:\PROGRA~1\MESSEN~1\BAK
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\BAK
C:\Program Files\iTunes\bak
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\bak
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\bak
C:\Program Files\Iomega\DriveIcons\bak
C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\VSO\bak
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\bak
C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\bak
C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\bak\bak
C:\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\bak\bak\bak


Next, close and click Yes to save the changes.
Once files.txt is saved, FindAWF does the following:
-It attempts to terminate the process represented by each filename on the list, if running
-Deletes the rogue file from the parent folder, if present
-Copies the original file to the parent folder
When done with the above, it automatically runs a new scan and opens a new log.
Please provide the new FindAWF log in your reply.

Please download ComboFix to the desktop from one of the following links:

Link1

Link 2

Link 3

Double-click combofix.exe
Follow the prompts.
(Don't click on the window while the program is running, it may cause your system to hang.)
Please post the log it produces.

Looks much better.

Open Notepad and copy/paste everything between the X"s into it and make sure "File::" is at the very top of the page.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
File::
C:\WINDOWS\cfgmgr52.dll

Folder::
C:\Qoobox

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Go to File on the top bar and choose" Save As", Change the "Save As Type" to All Files, Name it CFScript.txt then save it to your desktop.
Then drag/drop the CFScript.txt onto ComboFix.exe (the red X on your desktop) if combofix does not auto start click "run".

Your java is out of date and can be exploited.
Download the latest version of java from this link Java
Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
Click the "Download" button to the right.
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-1_6_3-windowsi586-p.exe to install the newest version.

Let us known how the computer is operating please.
