Solved Computer infected with CPX.exe, msrtn32.exe, and cdhtr.exe

[Evilduck07]

My computer began running very slowly on 6/2, I've noticed a few processes running that I can't identify. Currently, I'm running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but it doesn't seem to be removing these objects. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,


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

Note: You need to run the version compatible 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.

Thank you for the prompt reply

attached are the files you requested.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Is this work/business machine?

 

[Evilduck07]

No, this was originally issued by a university, but it is for my personal use.

Attached are updated files since running malewarebytes antimalware

You need to generate reports from Administrator account.

 

[Evilduck07]

Doing so now - will upload shortly

 

[Evilduck07]

Attached. Ran as administrator this time.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Reports still indicate that you're running FRST from non-administrator account.



Please uninstall Download Updater (AOL LLC).

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

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.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

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

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

I've uninstalled Download Updater (AOL LCC)

Fixlog.txt is attached

My account is marked administrator but doesn't behave as such - is this a symptom of the problem?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

It is okay. Can you run FRST fix one more time? How is your PC behaving now?

 

[Evilduck07]

PC is behaving well, better than before - can you clarify - You want me to run the open FRST and press the Fix button again?

 

[Evilduck07]

Ran again, attached is new fixlog

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Yes. If everything is okay, then we can consider it as solved.

 

[Evilduck07]

Sounds good! Thank you for the help!
