    Nope

    Definitely didnt work

    We shall try a different approach

    Set to see hidden files
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html


    Open malwarebytes
    Goto MORE TOOLS
    then RUN TOOL. Use it to destroy these files -

    c:\windows\system32\drivers\zghsmdm.sys
    c:\windows\system32\lMMLDeleteUserData42107612FX.tmp

    and manually delete this folder -
    c:\programdata\kCgInAm06300

    To do it, you need to COPY those things in red I originally put (with the t mp being changed to .tmp (withought the gap))

    manually open NOTEPAD

    PASTE to notepad and call it as instructed

    Drag and drop the newly saved notepad file onto combofix

    But i think your going to struggle, so just remove manually as described above

    before I delete it I thought I should ask. i went into Malware -more tools- tools, but those files weren`t there, so went to Cdrive and found the c:\programdata\kCgInAm06300 now waithing to be permanently deleted is this right what I did?
    Sorry I said was a bit dim :-)

    I`ve deleted that one now, but can`t fine the other two.

    yes, remove that file

    malwarebytes, quick RUN TOOL then you manually find those files (you did set to show hidden files/folders yes?)

  • Managed to delete them just by copying and pasting.
    What next?
