It's not unusual for TeamViewer to run in the background, so that probably was not a true problem.

For Firefox, press options button > help > About Firefox. Check for updates.

If updating it did not resolve problem, refresh Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

What about the Defogger issue?  I attempted to use Defogger to Reenable, and an error message came up stating, unable to open file.

Oh that, sorry. Temporarily disable realtime protection for Avast and then try Defogger again.

1) I was finally able to run Defogger, by going into Safe Mode as administrator.  It would not run otherwise, even with Avast deactivated.  Log Info is posted above.

2) I still have a lot of other tools in my PC that were used to attack the PUPS, Un Hide, Speccy, JRT, McShield, WR Tray. Tweaking, Heindal, Hitman Pro, ZHPCleaner, PC HUnter, SFXFix, Sanity Check, Defogger.  There may be more that are not listed above.  McShield is always running now, should I keep this?  What should I do with the others?

3) I have attempted to run the USB Vaccination program, however the option to vaccinate the computer is highlighted as an option to choose, but in the USB section, the option to vaccinate my external drive is grayed out.  It states, L:\(NTFS) Support disabled, consult help.  I have tried to disable Avast, and tried going into safe mode as admin., but I can not get it to work.  I have even unplugged the external drive, turned off the PC, plugged it back in and turned the PC back on.

Thanks for the update, because I was just going to ask that. Please do not proceed with USB vaccine, because those drives are locking other tools out, meaning the drives are already vaccinated. Smile... This is because Avast is protecting them with a driver. (A good thing!)

For the leftover malware removal tools, please first check your Add/Remove programs list for the items, and uninstall things that you do not approve of or need (such as the malware removal tools). If you cannot find them in the list, for any of them leftover, please right-click and delete them one-by-one.

Then, please do the following:
Press Start > Run, type in CMD and hit OK... at the prompt, type the following command, and then copy and paste the logfile back here:
dir c:\ >log.txt&&log.txt

How is this progressing? Should it be marked as solved?

I uninstalled Tweaking.com and Sanity Check.  One of these went crazy removing things, and I wasn't sure if I made I mistake.  Should I have uninstalled these?

I have kept McShield.  Should I remover, Un Hide, Speccy, JRT, WR Tray., Heindal, Hitman Pro, ZHPCleaner, PC HUnter, SFXFix, and Defogger and I think Combofix?

Okay, thank you.  What about my disk player?  Those were disabled I believe, and when I tried to reset the change would not take.

description2893 - Possible Malware - Page 4 EmptyRe: Possible Malware

Have you attempted to play a disc yet?

I believe what is disabled is emulation drivers, correct?

description2893 - Possible Malware - Page 4 EmptyRe: Possible Malware

I believe I used Defogger to disable emulation drivers.  You told me to go back into Defogger and Enable emulation drivers, but every time I tried I got an error message.

description2893 - Possible Malware - Page 4 EmptyRe: Possible Malware

Download please new copy of DeFogger:
  1. Please download DeFogger to your desktop.
  2. Once downloaded, double-click on the DeFogger icon to start the tool.
  3. The application window will now appear. You should now click on the Disable button to disable your CD Emulation drivers
  4. When it prompts you whether or not you want to continue, please click on the Yes button to continue
  5. When the program has completed you will see a Finished! message. Click on the OK button to exit the program.
  6. If CD Emulation programs are present and have been disabled, DeFogger will now ask you to reboot the machine. Please allow it to do so by clicking on the OK button.


If you were not prompted to restart your PC, then you did not have CD emulation programs installed. If it is the case that you did not have to restart, do not proceed to the step below. Instead, just let me know the machine did not restart.

Then, re-enable:

  1. Open DeFogger... You should now click on the Enable button to enable your CD Emulation drivers
  2. When it prompts you whether or not you want to continue, please click on the Yes button to continue
  3. When the program has completed you will see a Finished! message. Click on the OK button to exit the program.
  4. If CD Emulation programs are present and have been enabled, DeFogger will now ask you to reboot the machine. Please allow it to do so by clicking on the OK button.

Had to restart to Disable and Enable.  It worked.

Here is ANOTHER problem.  Firefox started hesitating.  There was an Avast icon at the top right of Firefox. When I would do a search, a checkmark would show next to Avast approved sites, and a question mark next to the questionable sites. 

I would type a few lines in Google email, or on here, a few words would type out, then it would freeze for 15 - 20 seconds.  Then the words would register again.   This seems to have started since installing Avast.  I did a Refresh in Firefox, and when it restarted, I could no longer play Youtube videos.  I get a black screen.  I have found that anything that has to load, like a video or graph will not load.  Chrome is not working either.

I ran an Avast scan, and I got a message stating I am vulnerable to Wannacry Ransomware, and to click on this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55245, to download a patch.  I clicked on the link and it took me to a sight through Firefox, which seemed odd, because in the past i have been forced to used IE, to get updates.  I did not attempt to install what is on that page, I instead searched from my PC, which took me to IE, to see if there were any updates, and there were not.

I forgot to mention, after refreshing Firefox, the Avast icon was gone from Firefox, and there are no longer Avast check marks, and question marks next to Google links in a Google search.

Anothering thing that has been going on, that has not stopped, is Creative Mixer keeps opening.  I close it, it opens right back up.

Anothering thing that has been going on, that has not stopped, is Creative Mixer keeps opening.  I close it, it opens right back up.

Go to CCleaner > Tools > Startup
Find CTsvcCDA.EXE (or just "CTsvcCDA"), right click and hit Disable or press the Disable button.

Once you restart your computer again in the future, Creative Mixer should not be open at all.




We also need to reset file permissions and Registry permissions - which will reverse security settings that have been changed:

Go to Start > Run, type in CMD and hit OK.

In the black box, please enter the following command ensuring that the spaces are properly inserted:

Code:

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

Once done, type in exit, and then restart your computer.

After that, see how things run on the browsers. This will help me determine if an advanced fix is necessary - in addition, please also run the following tool:

Please download SilentRunners

Unzip it to the desktop and double-click on Silent Runners.vbs.

If you get any kind of warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run.

When the scan is finished, a message will pop up and a log file will have been created on your Desktop.

Please post the entire contents of the log in your next reply.

Did not find a CTsvcCDA, running enabled or not.  I also attempted to rest file permission, but got an error message stating there was not a secedit.  I have not installed SilentRunners because I wasn't sure if the previous step needed to take place first.

I thought I should also let you know, I don't know why, but Chrome started working.  Also I went into Safemode, and in Safemode, I am able to watch Youtube videos.

'INSTRUCTIONS:
'
' Two files, "mbsacli.exe" and "wusscan.dll", must be located in the same
' directory as the script. These files can be obtained by installing
' "Microsoft Base Security Analyzer 2.3" (MBSA), available here:
' http://SPAM URL/d301a
'
' The two files will be located in the main MBSA directory. After they
' are copied for use with this script, MBSA can be uninstalled.
'
' A single (optional) command line parameter is permitted -- a path for the report file
'
' There are 12 _optional_ parameters (assigned below):
'
' 1. report directory -- this can be overridden by the command line parameter
' 2. minimum severity level for missing hotfixes
' 3. directory for local catalog file "wsusscn2.cab" -- use of the local
'    catalog file eliminates the need for an Internet connection
' 4. display of status and error messages
' 5. send report by e-mail
' ** parameters 6-12 are ignored if the report is not sent by e-mail **
' 6. use of SMTP authentification
' 7. use of Gmail SMTP
' 8. sender e-mail address
' 9. recipient e-mail address
' 10. the SMTP server name, if Gmail is not used
' 11-12. the username and password if SMTP authentification or Gmail is used

' To run this script as a Scheduled Task, set the message display parameter (#4)
' to False and point the Task Scheduler to the script.

I noticed in the MBSASetup-x86-EN.msi scan, it shows my PC has two administrators.  I do have an administrator account, and then the account in my name.  Would that be the two administrators?

Yes two of them. I will have to redo the analysis. Otherwise, please scan with Malwarebytes as before, so it can help repair security settings. In the meantime, I should be able to prepare the reset properly.

I scanned with Malwarebytes six days ago, nothing was found.  I just scanned again with the same end result.

Thanks for your patience...

I would recommend, for the remainder of the tech support issues to post in one of our other tech support forums so that our other helpers may assist you with further tech help. We are not dealing with security problems here. I apologize if I am delayed - I'm just short on time.

However, some of our techs on here are splendidly experienced, and I trust them, so please post a new topic in one of these forums as necessary:
http://www.geekpolice.net/f34-tech-support

I will consider this issue Solved now, since the security issues are resolved. Tech issues are a side effect that can be resolved within our community, we hope. Since this topic is long enough, it would make things easier to close this one, and have you open a new one in that section. If at any time, a new security threat is spotted, the techies will know where to send you next.

You have been patient as to be attentive to the issues with your PC. I do wish you all the best with XP.
