Problems with computer, what do i do next?

Options
Hi sorry for the long post.


My OH updated the computer yesterday with what i think was a fake windows update and it's not been working properly since.

I did a scan last night with Malwarebytes this was the report

Today it still doesnt seem right.

And now the Windows Security Center is switched off.

It says "The Security Center is currently unavailable
because the "Security Center" service has not started or was stopped. Please
close this window, restart the computer (or start the "Security Center"
service), and then open the Security Center again.

I tried turning it back on and it does for about a minute then disables itself again.

So I did another scan with malwarebytes and this was the report

I then did a boot time scan with avast and it came up with 17 files that were infected so I moved them to the virus chest.

I really dont know what to do now or how to fix any of it. Can anyone help please?

    do a full disk cleanup and turn off system restore first, the trojan's hidden in the restore points and/or Temp files. Run CCleaner (cleaner and registry elements) and delete all it finds. Then, update mbam and do another full scan. Post the log, then download and run HiJack This and post the log it produces. DO NOT try and fix anything in HJT without advice..

    downloads;-

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/

    use the greenish download latest version button towards the top-right of the page.

    p.s can you post a list of the files avast quarantined, along with filepaths ??
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
  • Before re running malwarebytes run this first;

    Please download Rkill by Grinler and save it to your desktop.

    Link 2
    Link 3
    Link 4

    • Double-click on the Rkill desktop icon to run the tool.
    • If using Vista, right-click on it and Run As Administrator.
    • A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
    • If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.
    • If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.
    • Do not reboot until instructed.
    • If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.
    • A log file will be created and saved to the root directory, C:\rkill.log
    • Copy and paste the contents of rkill.log in your next reply.

    Note: If you get an alert that Rkill is infected, ignore it. The alert is just a fake warning given by the rogue software which tries to terminate programs that try to remove it. If you see such a warning, leave the warning on the screen and then run Rkill again. By not closing the warning, this sometimes allows you to bypass the malware's attempt to protect itself so that Rkill can perform its routine.

    Now try performing a Quick Scan in normal mode with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and check all items found for removal. Don't forgot to check for database definition updates through the program's interface (preferable method) before scanning and to reboot afterwards. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware. When done, click the Logs tab and copy/paste the contents of the new report in your next reply.

    Thanks.

    Will do all of above and post when finished.

    I can't seem to find a way to copy and post the quarantined files. Do you want me to type them out for you (i don't mind) and what do you mean by the filepaths?

    Ok I turned off system restore and ran CCleaner.

    I wasn't sure to do Rkill as i've never used it before.

    This is the scan for malwarebytes

    The Microsoft Security Centre is still showing the same message as before.

    Is there anything else i still need to do?
    Do I leave the system restore off?

    Thanks

    Please run COMBOFIX
    http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
    Shut down your anti virus
    Follow the simple instructions it gives
    Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be) ~ if there are loads of 'SNAPSHOT' pages then leave them out

    If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download
    (If no log comes up or you lose it, COMBOFIX.TXT can be found in C drive)

    I just started combofix and it stuck at

    "Attempting to create a new system restore point"


    I then got a pop up from Microsoft Windows Recovery Console saying

    "This machine does not have the microsoft windows recovery console installed. Alternately, an existing installation of the recovery console may be present but requires updating.
    Without it combofix shall not attempt the fixing of some serious infections.

    Click 'Yes' to have combofix download/install it.


    Do i click yes?

    Or is it because it is still turned off?
