Solve : Laptop infected with W32.Rontokbro@mm?

Answer»

Delete these files/folders, as follows:

1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C

Code: [Select]KillAll::

Registry::
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\WINDOWS nt\currentversion\winlogon\notify\psfus]
3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
4. Then click File > Save
5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!



ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.

Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze
i did it, here's the latest log:

i could kick myself for what i've done. i inserted my flash drive (which was the source of the worm) to run Flash Disinfector, but somehow it didn't work, and now i've re-infected the laptop. i even SCANNED the flash drive with Norton Internet Security and it came up clean, i don't understand.

i've already uninstalled combofix, but i'll download it again and run it once more. i don't believe it, but i'm back to square one.

Run Flash Disinfector first, then install and run ComboFix.
hello again

sorry for the delay in my response. i ran the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, and it seems to have worked. all the symptoms of the worm seem to be gone now. i also ran flash disinfector for my flash drive on another computer that has XP, since i think maybe it doesn't run properly on Vista. but so far so good.

thank you immensely for all your help!!
