Trojan Possibly Crashing Avira?
Comments

Im baffled how when avira was ON when you ran combofix it found loads of trojans, yet you claim whey you MANUALLy ran avira it didnt
Are you SURE youve scanned the entire computer with avira? If not THATs the priority
Nielsen (And the other, you have 2 yes?) ~ bit of both really. i personally donnt trust what it does, but I also believe its a way for trojans to spread/get in:idea:0 -
In Avira quarantine I have about ten of these, I would have had more but I stopped quarantining and started to deny access so Combofix could carry on.
"Detection: Contains recognition pattern of the worm/Rbot.655092 worm
Source: C:\ComboFix\combo-fix.sys.tmp"
Last complete system scan 27/02/2010. As I have Vista maybe I need to do the right click and run as administrator on Avira?
I have Nielsen on my computer I have no knowledge of any other programme spying on me with my consent. Are you saying the Panelapp thing is not Nielsen?? :eek: Your link says it is a fraudulent security programme, I don't think I have downloaded any other virus/ malware checkers than the ones you guys have recommended. I don't click on links in e-mails or pop ups, the only one I can think of is when Combofix wanted to update, was that bad??Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -
I have just been on the uninstall programmes list and removed everything to do with Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Napster and Soulseek (none are used) and found 'Valued Opinions Application'. I think this is the panelapp? It probably is legitimate, I had a survey from them the other day that wanted to download something but then said I already had it. Thought it was Nielsen, but now i think not. Would also explain some mysterious payments on my VO account!! Will e-mail them to check.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

Im pretty sure theyre not the same no
I understand Avira. So download a frech copy of combofix and follow the advice again (Wiith Avira switched off obviously)
Then run the kaspersky scan:idea:0 -

Above is the log of newly downloaded Combofix with NO Avira on and also NOT using the CFScript file, because using the CFScript made the laptop turn off when it got to the producing a log stage. The last three times the laptop has turned off Windows has had to check the disk when it rebooted: this is a new problem!Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

I cant see what the actual problem is
Im wondering if its heat related (When it just decides to switch itself off)
Run the kaspersky scan:idea:0 -
Haven't used this laptop for over a month, have removed the pannelapp and Nielsen. Just run Avira which was clean then Malwarebytes which found Rootkit Agent H! No sign of the Eicar test virus which is strange.
Then tried to run Combofix and the laptop turned itself off, it definitely wasn't too hot either. Still saying it needs to check one of the disks for consistency every time the machine is turned on.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -
