Solved Bitcoin Miner Help

[zlatomir9]

Hello, i think i have a Bitcoin Miner becuase my System is running a lot slower. It happened before about 1-2 months but i found out about bitcoin minner's existing before 1 week. I am really asking you for help because my pc is running very slow and the red light under the Turn On button at the case is blinking and sometimes stays on completely. Also i find svchost.exe taking a lot of resources.

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).

Scan with ComboFix

This is a very powerful tool that should be used only if advised by Malware Analyst.
Do not run ComboFix on your own!

Referring to this instruction, please download ComboFix by sUBs and save it to your desktop.
Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Accept the disclaimer and agree if prompted to install Recovery Console.
• Do not take any actions while ComboFix goes through your System - it may cause it to stall!
• This scan may take some time!
• When finished - it will display a logfile (located also on your main drive, usually C:\ComboFix.txt).

Include that log in your next reply.

If you'll encounter any issues with internet connection after running ComboFix, please visit this link.

If an error about operation on the key marked for deletion will appear after running the tool, please reboot your machine.

 

[zlatomir9]

I think it deleted 2 files.

 

[argus]

1. Close any open browsers.
2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Folder::
c:\users\Zlatomir\AppData\Roaming\Panda Security
c:\program files (x86)\Panda Security
c:\programdata\Panda Security

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
When finished, it will produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

 

[zlatomir9]

Before i do it just a question, should i delete the old Combofix log?

 

[argus]

Yes, and download CF again.
