Hi James

Welcome to Free PC Help

You are definitely infected with Malware, please follow the instructions below, however long they might be, carefully, then get back to us.


  • Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent.
    It is a combination of the words malicious and software.
    The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code.

  • Required Cleanup Steps
    1. Disable the Spybot Search & Destroy TEA TIMER if enabled
    2. Run a Temporary file and cache cleaner (ATF)
    3. Run 2 Anti-Malware scanners
    4. Run an Online Anti-Virus / Anti-Malware Scanner
    5. Clear out old System Restore points
    6. If continued Malware type activity is present you may be asked to post a TrendMicro™ HijackThis™ Log file
The reason to run multiple scanners is to ensure that no single scanner is missing something.
The time it takes will vary depending on your system and your internet connection speed.
Typically the SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes scanners will take between 10 to 90 minutes.
The ESET online scan should take between 1 to 3 hours.
In most cases, these scans will suffice to clean and disinfect your computer.
Heavily infected systems or slower PCs can take much longer to scan and clean.

For best results print the following instructions and bookmark this Web page
To keep this guide printer-friendly, use your cursor to highlight the contents below.
From your browser select File - Print and in the printer dialog box under "Print range"
click the Selection choice to print out these instructions for removal of malware.​

Hi James. That's good news:)

Yes, FPCH can make it even better.

Let's have a look at the condition of your software via a program called HijackThis:


Please download the latest version of HijackThis from Trend Micro and click on Download Hijack This Installer and save it to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick HJTInstall.exe to install HijackThis.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in Notepad. Include this log in your next reply.
Notes:

Do not use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless, or required for your computer to run like it should.
 
The text that you have entered is too long (10122 characters). Please shorten it to 10000 characters long.

I'll ask one of the Malware/HJT team to get on to this asap James, please bear with us.
 
The log is clean.

Is Sophos showing up as an icon near the time? If so, double click it to see if it shows any problems.

How's the computer running now?
 
Hi opened sophos and it is saying that the following is infected , >>>>>>>>>> C:\System Volume Information\_restore{17934526-D4D1-44EF-A869-D02C1811A5A7}\RP5\A0000240.exe .

With " Mal/Emogen-M ". But the system seems to running ok in the main.

Heres another HJT logfile.

Hi James, one final step and that will clear up the Sophos error. Now that the system is clean, you need to clear the old restore points and create a new one. Here is how you do it:

Steps to turn off System Restore

1.Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2.In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab.
3.Click to select the Turn off System Restore check box. Or, click to select the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box.
4.Click OK.
5.When you receive the following message, click Yes to confirm that you want to turn off System Restore: You have chosen to turn off System Restore. If you continue, all existing restore points will be deleted, and you will not be able to track or undo changes to your computer. Do you want to turn off System Restore? After a few moments, the System Properties dialog box closes.


Now restart the computer and enable System Restore.

Update and run Superantispyware and MalwareBytes about once a week.

You're good to go:)
