Sydney: System Security Removal

hi Origin,

I am able to download all the software but the virus won't let me install them. Can you give me some direction?

Thanks

Sydney

Try the following:


Please download Ice Sword from HERE

1. Download the zip to your desktop and extract it.
   
2. Open the Ice Sword folder and then launch IceSword.exe.
   
3. Then look in the left hand bottom of the program and press "Registry"
   
4. When the registry list opens, drag the line between the two windows so you can see which registry hive you need.
   
5. Next, open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and navigate to the following key:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
   
   
6. Now look in the right side pane for two run values that are just random numbers.
   
7. Once you have found the value(s), right click it and press "Delete"
   
8. Okay the prompt and close IceSword.
   

wow. it won't even let me open the file to unzipped.

Here is the file itself not zipped, see if you can do the above:

I was able to open it, run it, but step three didn't happen. the virus said iceword.exe is infected etc.... do I have more option?

• Download combofix from here
  Link 1
  Link 2
  

1. If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:

* Tools->Options->Main tab
* Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".

2. During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:





3. It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
4. Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
5. Close any open browsers.
6. We need to disable your local AV (Anti-virus) before running Combofix.

• See HERE for how to disable your AV. (Mcafee)
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe.
  
• Follow the prompts. NOTE:
  
• ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.
  ***It's strongly recommended to have the Recovery Console installed before doing any malware removal.***
  
• Allow combofix to run
  
• Post C:\combofix.txt back here.
  
  Note:
  Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
  

I was able to un icesword.exe but when I run Combo-fix i don't see anything happening.

so step 1) run icesword
step 2) run combo-fix?

Can you do the following in Safe Mode with Networking, (as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode with Networking" and press your Enter key.

Note: With some computers if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message. If this occurs, instead of pressing and holding the "F8 key", tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu.) Once in the start up menu, select "Safe Mode with Networking", then try IceSword again.

Hi Belahzur,

I was able to run Icesword, but when i run combo-fix nothing happens.

i ran icesword and i deleted these two files

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\19519684\19519684.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\99529676\99529676.exe

and then run combo-fix but nothing happens

Did you delete the run values too?
