Cheers for that, looks a lot better. How did you go with the full Malwarebytes scan that you said you were running? If you haven't already started it, try these quicker steps first
1. Can you confirm that C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe has been deleted?
2. Try HitmanPro again now that you are in normal mode
3. Try Tdsskiller again, usually only malware prevents it running
4. Try aswMBR again, shouldn't reboot

The Malwarebytes scan was started half an hour ago.
Glad it's looking better because i wouldn't have a clue.:o
C:\Windows\system32\DllHost.exe has been deleted.
I'll post the log when Malwarebytes is finished..Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
That's a long full scan

mbam full scans can easily take an hour and a half, depending on what hardware the pc is and how much stuff is on the hdd...... patience russ
On a more serious note, this one is a clear candidate for running combofix probably as a belt'n'braces measure this far through the cleanup, and possibly should have been run earlier (would have advised as such if I'd had the chance....kids, eh ??)
Also, I'd be inclined to ditch mcrapafee and use avira or avast

I'd first rather see if tdsskiller and aswMBR are working now that the worm has been removed. It was probably the worm causing the startup problem. You'll notice in the other thread that Combofix was prevented from completing it's task, so definitely not a cure all.
Can get to Mcafee and general cleanup later on... only just gotten it to boot in normal mode, patience gunjack
Longest Malwarebytes scan I've seen was 1hr 57 minutes, don't doubt it can be even longer. Takes 15 times longer on my laptop to do a full scan than a quick scan

Russ, personally I would've used cf on this earlier as it can often pick up rootkits and reboot and restart the pc to remove them as part of the scan. It's often quicker and also if it won't operate another good indicator of more deep-rooted problems.

Afterwards make gunjack happy and run Combofix. Read the instructions, you'll need to disable McAfee or it can't run properly:

I'm travelling soon so won't be able to help except maybe in the evening. Good luck!0
