    Apologies if its been posted as i couldnt see it or missed it but have you tried updating malwarebytes and doing a second scan? I had a nasty to deal with on my sistes laptop and it found stuff on the first scan and tried to remove on reboot but it didnt and only after a second update of malwarebytes and a second full scan was the laptop free from nasties;)
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
  • I have done a reboot and cant find the log again.Do I do c0mbifix all over again?

    Is it okay to tick all on ccleaner cos I unticked some.I didnt want to messup the system config.

    Hi,

    I haven't read the whole thread, but if knowledgepower1 has the TDSServe Rootkit, then it needs to be dealt with properly.

    Also when requesting scans, logs should be posted. Malware removal should be done in a certain order to solve the problem.
  • Thanks Saqib,the prblem is I need to download avast and Hijackthis,as soon as I type it into google the page closes.

    If I type any anti virus on google the page shuts down,so I went into other forum and read thesame problem was solve by disabling TDSServ.

    I see that Browntoa has helped you a lot.

    Can you tell me what problems you are having exactly and what scans you have run? I'll try and read the thread quickly too.<br>
  • Browntoa has been very helpful.The only thing I want to do is instal Avast and also download hijackthis for Browntoa,but the page shuts down everytime I try to do this.

    if memory serves me right you should have a combifix.txt file on your desktop

    The reason you cannot download these tools is because the TDSServe Rootkit is most likely active and preventing you from accessing these websites.

    I will PM you a tool for this infection, but first I need to see the log from ComboFix please. It should be located in C:\ComboFix.txt.
  • how do I get that?
