Solve : System wont log on.?

Answer»

Ill start by letting you know im a super-beginer, so please bear with me.

My PC froze and shutdown on its own. Upon restart, it got to the part where the green bar moves across and says MICROSOFT, on a black screen background, but never goes any further. I can (and am doing this) in safe mode with networking. This issue has OCCURED before, but the pc usually just starts normally if i reboot enough times. And it wont happen again for many months. This time, many reboots has not fixed the problem.

Here are the 4 files requested:
Please note, that the eventviewer has around 6000 entries in it since 2009, around 20 errors from this recent reboot.

Thanks!

Mike.

########## EOF - C:\AdwCleaner[R1].txt - [5893 octets] ##########
Hello and welcome to GeekPolice.Net My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.
*****************************************************************
Remove the Adware:

  • Please close all open programs and internet browsers.
  • Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
  • Click on Delete.
  • Confirm each time with OK
  • Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
  • Please post the content of that logfile in your reply.
  • You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt as well - n is the order number.
****************************************************
This sounds like a software or hardware problem, not an infection. Please try this even if you don't have the OS disk and tell me what happens.

1/ Click the Start button.

2/ From the Start Menu, Click All programs followed by Accessories.

3/ In the Accessories menu, Right Click on the Command Prompt option.

4/ From the drop down menu that appears, Click on the Run as administrator option.

5/ If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled you will be asked for authorisation prior to the command prompt opening. You may simply need to press the Continue button if you are the administrator or insert the administrator password etc.

6/ In the Command Prompt window, type: sfc /scannow and then press Enter.

7/ A message will appear stating that the system scan will begin.

8/ Be patient because the scan may take some time.

9/ If any files require replacing SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue.

10/ If everything is okay you should, after the scan, see the following message Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations.

11/ After the scan has completed, Close the command prompt window.
Hi dave,

I had the adwcleaner.txt file saved already so i can send you that.
I remembered that in the past, when this happened, the only thing that worked was a 'system restore', so i just did one.
I rolled back to 3-10-13, 3 days before the crash on 3-13-13.
It worked and my pc looks fine. I had to update, avast, AMD, and windows.
However, i know something is wrong, as this happens every 2-4 months (last time this happened was longer,,maybe 6 months).
I suspect i have some conflict between the video card and the pc, but im guessing.

So i just now ran sfc /scannow as you suggested and it says "the system file repair changes will take effect after the next reboot".

Any thoughts are welcome.

Mike

########## EOF - C:\AdwCleaner[R1].txt - [5893 octets] ##########Quote
So i just now ran sfc /scannow as you suggested and it says "the system file repair changes will take effect after the next reboot".
It would appear that somehow some files are being corrupted.
Do you want to run some more scans just to make sure that the computer is clean?sure, if you think it could find the problem. I should say ive run quite a few already.
The eventviewer collects info chronologically. I would think its errors/warnings would reveal the issue, but i
just dont understand the codes.

Anyway...let me know which scans to run?

Mike.Download DDS from HERE or HERE and save it to your desktop.

Vista users right click on dds and select Run as administrator (you will receive a UAC prompt, please allow it)

* XP users Double click on dds to run it.
* If your antivirus or firewall try to block DDS then please allow it to run.
* When finished DDS will open two (2) logs.
* Save both reports to your desktop.
* The instructions here ask you to attach the Attach.txt.



1) DDS.txt
2) Attach.txt
Instead of attaching, please copy/past both logs into your Thread

Note: DDS will instruct you to post the Attach.txt log as an attachment.
Please just post it as you would any other log by COPYING and pasting it into the reply.

•Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.

Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run.
After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection.
Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet.
Information on A/V control HERE .Then post your DDS logs. (DDS.txt and Attach.txt )
*********************************************
Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your DESKTOP.
If your version of Windows defaults to you download folder you will need to copy it to your desktop.

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

To prevent your anti-virus application interfering with ComboFix we need to disable it. See here for a tutorial regarding how to do so if you are unsure.
  • Close any open windows and double click ComboFix.exe to run it.

    You will see the following image:


Click I Agree to start the program.

ComboFix will then extract the necessary files and you will see this:



As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. This will not occur in Windows Vista and 7

It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

If you did not have it installed, you will see the prompt below. Choose YES.



Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:



Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it will produce a report for you. Please post the contents of the log (C:\ComboFix.txt).

Leave your computer alone while ComboFix is running. ComboFix will restart your computer if malware is found; allow it to do so.

Note: Please Do NOT mouseclick combofix's window while its running because it may cause it to stall.Hi Dave,

I already had the DDS and attach files on my desktop from a suggestion i read on line.
The combofix didnt look like what you described above...but it ran quickly and left a .txt file unsaved...which i saved to my desktop.
All 3 files contents are as follows:

P2P - I see you have P2P software installed on your machine. µTorrent and BitTorrent We are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept. However, we will warn you that engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to re-infections. It is certainly contributing to your current situation.

Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.

I would strongly recommend that you uninstall them, however that choice is up to you. If you choose to remove these programs, you can do so via Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs.

The DDS attach log usually shows errors on your machine but I don't see any.

I'd like to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

•Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
ESET OnlineScan

•Click the button.
•For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
  • Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on the icon on your desktop.
•Check
•Click the button.
•Accept any security warnings from your browser.
  • Leave the check mark next to Remove found threats.
•Check
•Push the Start button.
•ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.

A log file will be saved here: C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Online Scanner\log.txt
It ran and it came with 2 threats which it said it removed. These are the only contents of the txt file

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\3\200e0bc3-6ead4773a variant of Java/Exploit.Agent.NMN trojancleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\5\2ac74c85-6fac2329multiple threatscleaned by deleting - quarantined

I checked the Uninstall box on the main window.

So These are the things ive done so far:

AdwCleaner
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
DDS logs (DDS.txt & Attach.txt)
sfc /scannow
COMBOFIX
ROGUEKILLER (rkreport)
F8 (advanced options) repair your computer
minidump.dmp
bluescreenview (nirsoft) (BSOD.txt)
CHKDSK
ESET online scanner

Probably safe to say, my issue is not virus related but some conflict, that caused the system to
to hang upon startup. I still have errors in EVENTVIEWER, i get them every time i login - without problems..its my guess that the solution lies in deciphering
that.

Luckily my pc is running smoothly now, and i may not have a problem for months.Quote

I have to agree with your assessment of the situation. Let's do some cleanup and if the problem comes back you could try doing a repair from the Recovery Console or start a post in one of the Software forums.

Download this program and run it Uninstall ComboFix .It will remove ComboFix for you.

It's up to you. Some people don't use Java. There was some security problems with Java a few months ago but that's been cleared up.
