OK, don't need to worry about SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes.
I believe you have Avast and not AVG, correct? Since you have disabled Avast, you are now OK to run ComboFix.0 -
I'm going through the log now, and will post some instructions soon.
From what I understand and can see from the logs is that you have the AVG installaiton file (.exe) on your Desktop, but you have not installed it. However, you have Avast installed operating as your anti-virus? Is that correct? Let me know.I do have that AVG on the desktop but I thought I'd only downloaded AVAST0 -
Yes SaqibQ Avast is the one I put on over the weekend and disabled earlier. How can you see these things from all that writing? I'm totally amazed at this genius you lot have!!0

Hi,
I may ask you to repeat some stuff you've already done later.
But for now, please do the following...
1. I'd like some files scanned:- Go to VirusTotal
- Copy and paste the following file path into the Search Box in the middle of the page:
- c:\windows\system32\redivipo.dll
- Now click on the Send File button
- NOTE:
- If you come to the "File has already been analysed:" page, select "Reanalyse file now" to get a fresh scan.
- Save a copy of the Anti-Virus results only. Post the results in your next reply.
C:\windows\system32\hugeloko.dll
c:\windows\system32\nodivivo.dll
2. Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the Quote Box below into it:
Note: I have bolded "Control" as the forum software adds a space between the letters which will lead to an incorrect fix.File::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\kugatugi.dll
Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"Notification Packages"=hex(7):73,00,63,00,65,00,63,00,6c,00,69,00,00,00,00,00
Save this as CFScript.txt to your Desktop
Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe
This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply together with a new HijackThis log.0 -
This is all that came up when I sent that line to virustotal
0 bytes size received / Se ha recibido un archivo vacio0 -
That's fine! Scan the other files and let me know the results in your next reply. Also, make a note of files you're currently scanning so I know which result belongs to which file.
Thanks!0 -

A Hijack or Combofix too?0
