I am Gabethebabe and I will be helping you with this issue. Before we start some general remarks/rules:
- Whilst I´m helping you, please follow my instructions carefully and do not experiment on your own or accept help from other persons.
- Feel free to ask questions! Especially if my instructions are not clear. I´m here to help, not confuse you.
- I will try and respond quickly, but please understand I do have a real life (job, wife, 3 kids, kinky hobbies).
- Stick with me till the end. If your computer starts running better, doesn´t mean it is clean yet!
====================
What you are seeing with the hhupd.exe is almost certainly a false alarm. The file is located in a legit folder of a legit program.
We can run a few scans to see if you are clean.
====================
Please download OTL by OldTimer from here and save it to your desktop.
- Close all windows and double click OTL.exe.
- The Extra Registry setting should be Use Safelist
- Copy and paste the following text into the Custom Scans/Fixes box:
Code:
netsvcs
msconfig
safebootminimal
safebootnetwork
activex
drivers32
%systemroot%\system32\*.dll /lockedfiles
%systemroot%\system32\*.exe /lockedfiles
%systemroot%\Tasks\*.job /lockedfiles
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.sys /lockedfiles
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.sys
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.dll
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.ini
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.exe
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.*
%PROGRAMFILES%\*.
/md5start
atapi.sys
explorer.exe
iastor.sys
userinit.exe
winlogon.exe
/md5stop
- Click the Run Scan button and allow it to run.
- It will produce two logs for you, OTL.txt and Extras.txt. Please post both logs in this thread.
- You may need multiple posts to get it all.
====================
Please download aswMBR by Alwil Software from here and save it to your desktop.
- Double click aswMBR.exe to run the tool
- Click the Scan button to start the scan
- Don´t panic if you see any **Rootkit** entries. The tool sometimes produces false alarms
- Once the scan finishes click Save log to save the log to your desktop
- Copy and paste the contents of this log (aswMBR.txt) into your next reply.
