Hi I got the Com Surrogate dllhost.exe issue as well. I did a lot of what you said in another thread. Here is exactly what ive done:
Runned AwdCleaner ( log file attached )
Then runned Combo Fix ( for some reason the scan completed succefuly, but did not save any logs )
Then runned TDSSKiller ( log file attached )
then opened the RUN windows an typed :
"Leroux\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall
Then created a txt file named CFSscript.txt typing this:
Folder::
c:\users\Leroux\AppData\Roaming\Fowacye
c:\users\Leroux\Apps\NT
c:\users\Leroux\AppData\Local\Omics
c:\users\Leroux\AppData\Roaming\HpUpdate
Registry::
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Msmdmwbs"=-
"Omics"=-
"GameServer518"=-
"Zyivfuubd"=-
ClearJavaCache::

Then dragged the notepad file onto the combo fix icon then it ran again succesfuly ( but yet didn't save any logs)

Now I am at the part toget the tool to remove the removal toll but my issue is still isn't fixed so is there anything I did wrong pls , pls pls help me !!!!

So, you really won't do destroy your system? Good luck with this!

I clearly noticed that running fix from other topic could damage your system. I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your system from now.


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.


  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
 
Hi again. I do not hold you for responsible for any Harm that those step could had done. In fact it did nothing at all so we are safe on this matter. I did the scan you requested and here are the logs file.

Alright will run it again. sorry I didn't mentioned that every time I runned Combofix. it was by right clicking on it to run it as an admistrator, as every online game must be runned. Although I have to go to work and will be back at you tomorrow morning (Eastern time Zone)

    Code:
    Driver::
    Update innoApp
    Util innoApp

    ClearJavaCache::
  • Go to File menu and select Save as.
  • Make sure that the Save as type option is set to Text files (*.txt) and the place to save will be your desktop.
  • Name the file CFScript and select Save.
Your CFScript.txt file should appear on your desktop.

  • Now drag your CFScript file and drop it onto the
