"Severe virus infection" and strange Network computers

[AlmostBlink]

Hello,

I recently noticed that my computer is slowing and crashing a lot more. I also noticed a strange appearance of computers on my network. I live in a student apartment complex and the internet has never felt too secure or of a high performance. However, I'm pretty certain my networks never used to show all of these:

I run a Connectify Hotspot from my computer if that helps, however, it's not an open connection.

Today I decided that my computer was getting a little too slow and the network visibility was making me a little uncomfortable, so I ditched AVG and downloaded Avast free anti-virus and COMODO firewall.

I noticed that there were a TON of svchost.exe connections that pointed to various other local IP addresses in this building (I assume) which kinda freaked me out, but I understand they may not all be harmful.

I then contacted a technician at GeekBuddy and although I don't have a subscription with them, he took a remote-admin look at my system and said I have a "severe virus infection" that Avast wouldn't be able to remove. I'm a poor student and can't afford the GeekBuddy subscription, but if that wasn't a marketing ploy, it sounds pretty serious.

Below I've linked adwCleaner, aswMBR and FRST log files. I would really appreciate some direction.

Hi,


Re-run Adwcleaner and make sure to press Clean after the scan is done.



Please download Malwarebytes AntiRootkit (MBAR) and save it to your desktop.
For full instructions how MBAR works, read this article

> Doubleclick on the MBAR file

and allow it to run.
• Click OK on the next screen, to allow the package to extract the contents of the file to its own folder named mbar.
• mbar.exe will launch automatically. On some systems, this may take a few extra seconds. Please be patient and wait for the program to open.
• After reading the Introduction, click Next if you agree.

• On the Update Database screen, click on the Update button. Once you see 'Success: Database was successfully updated' click on Next
• Under Scan Targets ensure all boxes are ticked. Then click the Scan button.

Notice: with some infections, you may see two messages boxes:
- 'Could not load protection driver'. Click 'OK'.
- 'Could not load DDA driver'. Click 'Yes' to this message, to allow the driver to load after a restart. Allow the computer to restart. Continue with the rest of these instructions.

>> If malware is not detected, click the Exit button to close the program and post the mbar-log-year-month-day.txt and system-log.txt reports.

>> If an infection/s are found ensure Create Restore Point are ticked. Then select the "Cleanup! button to remove threats.
• The clean up procedure will be scheduled for process, pop-up will be shown.
Select the Yes button and the system should re-boot to complete the cleaning process.

>> Notice: only if an RootKit are detected, ensure to run fixdamage.exe tool located in mbar folder, \Plugins\fixdamage.exe
- Run fixdamage.exe, at the black window to continue type Y (alias for Yes). Wait few seconds for execution ...
- When you see "press any key to exit" fix is completed, press any key to close the window. Reboot the system.


> The following reports will be created in mbar folder:
1. mbar-log-year-month-day (hour-minute-second).txt

Please post both logs in your next reply.

Hello, thanks for your quick reply. Here is what MBAR logged. No RootKit's found apparently.

Did you execute Adwcleaner as I've asked?

Disable Network Discovery --> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/enable-disable-network-discovery#1TC=windows-7

I executed AdwCleaner twice in total.

I didn't see report attached?

How about network discovery?
