    I got this virus at the weekend. At the time I had a couple of pages open including thetraineline and the bandbdirectory. I did a system restore to a couple of days before I was infected. Following several websites advice I checked my registry files and couldn't find any system tools registry keys there. I downloaded Malwarebytes, and although it found a trojan it didn't appear to be the system tools virus. I'm hoping that I haven't got the virus still lurking around somewhere....my computer seems to be running ok though.

    Please start a new thread

    Open malwarebytes, got LOGS and post the WHOLE of the log in your new thread

    reboot

    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
    If you get a message that you cant write to the hosts file then Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin)

  • I was just browsing ebay as normal and clicked to open one of the normal ebay listings then the system tool warnings came up, then I made the mistake of clicking the cross to close it! I never click on adverts to open. So this is why this scares me as it could happen again. and without the help of this website and kind people on here I would still be looking at the same screen. AliEnRIK asked me to post my combofix log but the settings on website won't let me post it due to being a new poster, any ideas how to get it to show on here?
    thanks julie
