I cannot run ComboFix. The following message appears:

Application cannot be executed. The file wuauclt.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?

Please download the GMER Rootkit Scanner. Unzip it to your Desktop.

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any
"<--- ROOKIT" entries unless advised!

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.

  • Click NO
  • In the right panel, you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked ... leave everything checked and ensure the Show all box is un-checked.
  • Now click the Scan button.
    Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
  • Click OK.
  • GMER will produce a log. Click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "GMER.txt"
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

Post the contents of GMER.txt in your next reply.

I was able to download gmer Rootkit Scanner. I was able to unzip the file to my desktop. However, when I double clicked, the scan did not run and the following message was displayed:

"Application cannot be executed. The file gmer.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?"

This was the first time I was able to download anything, so maybe we are making progress.

Your computer is infected with a dangerous infection:
http://www.helpmyos.com/malware-threat-removal-f6/virut-information-t879.htm

We have hit a dead end. Please tell me when you have completed a reformat and reinstall.

I am sorry for the bad news. I do not understand why these mean people make such harsh viruses, and I wish there was a way to clean your system without everything being damaged. But, the problem is, cleaning the system, most files will be damaged. It is like trying to clean up a city that just had a tornado or hurricane run through it. Takes rebuilding, and time to set back up.

Is it possible to go back to a previous system date where the system was not affected?

Unfortunately no. It infects System Restore as well, and inserts spaghetti code in to them.
