Hello,



They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.



Before we start please read and note the following:

• At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
• Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
• Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
• Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
  
• All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
• If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
• I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
• Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
  
• Please attach all report using
  
  button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.
  
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

I am going to need one more Zoek scan:

Scan with ZOEK

Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop (preferred version is the *.exe one)
Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Wait patiently until the main console will appear, it may take a minute or two.
• In the main box please paste in the following script:
  

  createsrpoint;
  gpt.ini;z 
  C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy;v
  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\GroupPolicy;v
  process;
  services-list;
  systemspecs;
  startupall;
  skipfix-iedefaults;
  firefoxlook;
  chromelook;
  filesrcm;
  installedprogs;

• Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
• Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
• When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
• If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)

Post its content into your next reply.

hi , i did as you told me and here is the log from scan

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

What about Zoek report.

 

[Sergiu Adrian Chis]

i cant uplod Zoek , it keeps telling me the file is empty ....

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Upload it here

http://zippyshare.com/

 

[Sergiu Adrian Chis]

it says the same the file is empty , but i checked and its not empty it contains all kind of information abaut my system .... i deleted the log and scanned again and the same error , empty file ..

 

[Sergiu Adrian Chis]

http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/32651289/file.html i managed to compress it in rar format

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

This is not the correct Zoek script. You need to use my latest script.

 

[Sergiu Adrian Chis]

how about now ? is it good this scan ?
and i also encouter a new ad called SuperManCoupon , on every webpage i go it shows me advertise for different stuffs and sometimes a new link opens telling me my VLC player needs to be updated ...

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Yes, that is correct script. We will need to dig deeper:



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.

 

[Sergiu Adrian Chis]

i did the scan and this is the result and i also took a screenshot with sniping tool to show you the message i get when i went to download FRST from that site

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

I do not see malware on your system.

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 finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

[Sergiu Adrian Chis]

and i also have this programs installed by default in my pc , i own a Laptop Asus Republic of Gamers , and im wondering if this programs are really necesary and if they slow down my pc , sometimes it takes forever to shut down and i have to take out the battery to shut it down , i remember once i wake up in the morning and the laptop was still shuting down .. if u have any suggestions how can i check if some programs are slowing down my pc and how to try to fix that ?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Answer is the simple one. If there is something in Control Panel, that you do not use and don't know what is it, you can uninstall it. Only avoid programs signed by Microsoft Corporation, they are essential for your system.
