Solve : Malware help PLEASE....?

Answer»

I'm running my computer on Windows XP SP2. I plugged in a pendrive that I got from my friend and my computer got infected. Explorer was shutting down, and even if I check the "Show Hidden files and Folder" radio button in Tools->Folder Options, hidden files were not being shown. From M Computer, when I clicked on drives, they were being opened from a new Explorer window. I formatted my C: and reinstalled the OS. However, the problem has persisted. I installed AVAST and right now, it is giving me a "Malware Was FOUND" warning for mnl6on3.com for drives C, D, E, F, G, H (all my drives) as Malware name Win32:Rootkit-gen [Rtk] and classification Rootkit.


Sometimes, none of the drives open, and I have to browse to Windows Explorer using Open With. Yesterday, I was getting an Malware warning for klif.sys everytime I tried to open C Drive. And Avast gave about 10 Malware warnings repeatedly for files in System Volume Information for all the drives.

Following the instructions given in this forum, I have installed Avast, CCleaner, SUperAntispyware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and HijackThis.

It appears I can enable Hidden folders now, but I still have to associate the drives with Windows Explorer using Open With every time I want to browse to it from My Computer.

ckvo is there in the startup.

SuperAntispyware and MBAM logs are attached.

Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the Desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Unzip the file on the Desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the Desktop.

Let me know how things are now.The content of the daft log:

All associations okay!




Everything seems to be fine now. I deleted autorun files on each drive that were point to mnl6on3.com. Thanks a lot, Man!! Windows Explorer association is also okay now.No problem, LOOKS like your associations got messed up somehow.

Here are a few things you MAY want to do.

Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
  • Click Start Now
  • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
  • Click Start
  • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
  • Update anything listed.

----------

Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.
