"Resource protection found corrupt files..."

ComputerJoe22 · 04 Apr 2012

"but was unable to fix some of them."

Ok, I have a machine that was hit by a root kit, that's all removed now, but it will not boot...gets a 0000007B BSD error so I start in repair mode which creates an X: ram disk to operate from. When I get to a command propmt and run the SFC with OFFLINE options I get the above message which tells me to look in the Windows/LOGS/CBS/CBS.log file. The one on the C: was HUGE so I renamed it and ran SFC again. Hmmm no CBS.log was created this time either. I check the value of %windir% and it pointed to X:/Windows nope no CBS.log there either. Set the %windir varible to c:\windows and ran SFC AGAIN and guess what.... nothing.

WTH is going on here? If I knew what files were corrupted I could replace them manually but by not having a verbose mode in SFC I am lost.

HELLPPPPPP!

One thread I found says the cbs.log file is hidden so you need to remove the hidden attribute before you can see it.

cd \windows\logs
attrib -h cbs.log
notepad cbs.log

Another way is to redirect the log to a different location:

set WINDOWS_TRACING_LOGFILE=C:\TEMP\CBS.log
run sfc
Log will be in C:\TEMP\CBS.log

Thanks that worked, now I have to find the find command that just displays failed files.
FIND "[SR]" CBS.LOG returns a lot of lines so I tried searching for "FAILED", "ERROR" and anything else I could think of to not avail.

I have not found a string to search for to find out what failed to be replaced but there are these entries...but they don't look like failed replacements either.

Work through these steps to confirm infection is gone (unlikely) and run SFC from Command Line repeatedly, then attempt to repair boot if necessary: Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot - Windows 7 Forums

But even if it starts a rootkit often cannot be cleaned up and requires running Factory Recovery or Recov disks or getting a superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM.
HP Recover Windows 7 Operating System Using HP Recovery - HP Customer Care (United States - English) Windows 7

There are steps in first blue link to copy out any stranded files, but keep in mind these need to be quarantined until scanned repeatedly by Malwarebytes and your AV.
