    Unhackme finds rootkits. Rootkits are notorious for evading anti-virus programs. They can prevent you from downloading and/or running your anti-virus correctly. I really think you need a rootkit detector like Unhackme.

    I would hazard a guess to say that one of the programmes you have downloaded or one of the sites you have been to has reinfected you. I would update and run malwarebytes again and post the log for reluctant spender to look over.

    See post 3. Can do no harm.
  • I cant see why you are reinfected from the combofix log.

    What warnings are you getting?

    Are you using a router for your broadband?

    I would update Malwarebytes - disconnect from the net and then run a full scan with malwarebytes and lets see what that produces.

    IF YOU HAVE A ROUTER follow this;

    Next you must reset the router to its default configuration. This can be done by inserting something tiny like a paper clip end or pencil tip into a small hole labeled "reset" located on the back of the router. Press and hold down the small button inside until the lights on the front of the router blink off and then on again (usually about 10 seconds). If you don’t know the router's default password, you can look it up HERE

    However, if there are other Zlob-infected machines using the same router, they will need to be cleared with the above steps before resetting the router. Otherwise, the malware will simply go back and change the router's DNS settings. You also need to reconfigure any security settings you had in place prior to the reset. Check out this site here for video tutorials on how to properly configure your router's encryption and security settings. You may also need to consult with your Internet service provider to find out which DNS servers your network should be using.

    Once you have ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware on the infected system, and reset the router to its default configuration you can reconnect to the internet, and router. Then return to this site to post your logs.

    ps...a question to the reluctnt spender, would pointing the router to open dns test it, before resetting the router??

    Open notepad and copy/paste the text in RED below

    File::
    c:\windows\system32\KGyGaAvL.sys
    c:\windows\system32\51D6C5998E.sys


    Save this as "CFScript" (FULL file will be 'CFScript.txt' EXACTLY as shown)

    Then drag the CFScript into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below.

    CFScript.gif


    This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply

    Combofix should never take more that 30 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
    If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.

    Seems you also have a root infection

    Sophos is supposed to be pretty good for them ~

  • Im just thinking malwarebytes should have made a dent in it....unless , i wont go into that

    would it be worth uninstalling malwarebytes, renaming mbam.exe to blah.exe(or anything) and re installing? and also running a-squared that i mentioned up there ^

    once its cleaned ...flush system restore (turn it off,reboot then turn it on again)
