    Hi,

    Thats correct : cleasn install = formay and reinstallation of everything. Given Jacees info, I would be even more inclined to that route.

    Hi Golden,

    Does it mean I have no more options but to do a clean install ?

    Hi,

    I've done some reading up on Zero Access, and now I know why its so hard to remove - even after throwing multiple well-known tools at it. Apparently, in some cases its impossible to clean. You could spend days throwing other tools at this in the hope that it is eradicated, but success is not guaranteed.

    Unless Jacee has other suggestions, bite the bullet, and do a clean install as recommended earlier.

    Regards,

    I'm having the same problem so far. I'm currently running the Microsoft Safety Scanner as well as Trend Micro Titanium. Both Full Scans. Afterward I'm going to run the RKill and Malwarebytes. I just installed some Windows 7 updates and I noticed the Action Center informing me about the Windows Firewall. That's how this all started. I'll post a reply with my results. I'm hoping I don't have to do a clean install seeing as how I have over a TB of media on my PC and no way to get a larger HD.

    Well, my PC restarted with no problems after the scans. It seems like I may have the same problem with a different cause. I'm gonna continue researching it.

    Code:
    Rkill was run on 05/23/2012 at 22:23:24. 
    Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 
    
    Processes terminated by Rkill or while it was running:

    C:\ProgramData\adob\svchost.exe
    C:\Users\Guardian\AppData\Local\Temp\6F45.tmp\rundll32.exe

    firewalls disabled in WIN7 64


    I spent the last 4-5 days working on this Laptop Win7 64 and I finially fixed it and after reading every thing i could I found the answer... If you want to try this it may work for you also. *
    BUT get rid of the Virus with Anti virus, and this will help fix the rest for you.... good luck.
    Download

    Windows repair tool

    Extract and launch the Repair_Windows.ex file

    Click on Start repairs tab-click on Start

    check mark following options alone: (deselect all, and only check these)

    Reset registry permissions
    reset file permissions
    Repair WMI
    Repair Windows Firewall.
    Remove Policies Set By Infections
    Repair Winsock & Cache
    Repair hosts


    **Checkmark Restart System When Finished option
    click the Start button

    System should restart after repair

    remember to disable Antivirus before hand... and again good luck!!!

    rcent,

    The posts in these thread date back to 2012.

    Also, Windows Repair (All in One) is not a tool used to fix Sirefef or ZeroAccess Rootkit.

    It use is meant for doing repairs after an infection is removed.
