So while downloading stuff online i accidentally downloaded something with a ton of malware. For the most part i believe i got most of it but i am now stuck with potentially two rootkits that i can't seem to remove.

I have tried using malwarebytes (which is my current antivirus), search and destroy, and gmer. But none of them spot the rootkits. I have also disconnected my computer from the internet which seems to have stopped most of the issues the rootkits appeared to be causing.

Both rootkits are in appdata > local in a pair of files i can't access in any way. Which were installed on the 04/14/2018.

Anyone able to help? I can provide more info as needed.

Hello,



Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.
  • Now you should get a window like this where you need to click Troubleshoot.

Once back in the command prompt window, please do the following:
  • Type in e:\frst64.exe and press Enter.
    You need to replace e with the letter of your USB drive taken from notepad!
  • FRST will start to run. Give him a minute or so to load itself.
  • Click Yes to Disclaimer.
  • In the main console, please click Scan and wait.
  • When finished it will produce a logfile named FRST.txt in the root of your pendrive and display it. Close that logfile.

Transfer it to your clean machine and include it in your next reply.

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
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    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.



How is the situation now?
