Problem with Avast or Conficker(or some other worm)?

[drazenn]

I have problems with Avast few days ago.
It started to act weird.I got original key,but it reports me that my licence is to old,and Avast doesn't protects me any more.
Since we have all read about Conficker,I tried to make online scan with Trend Micro House Call,but when I get to point when Trend Micro needs to update,I get message"Your conection is too slow",and some others,and it just skips scan,and report that I have nothing to be worried about.
Also tried to reinstall Avast,but after I install it,register it,and after first update same thing happens:"you are no longer protected".Funny thing is that happened 2 or 3 days after April 1st.
So,what could it be?IAnybody got an advice which antivirus should I install instead Avast Pro?

TRY THIS TEST.http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/6387-conficker-instant-eye-chart.html Thanks to johngalt

 

[drazenn]

Thank you on this one,jfar.
According to this test,I'm not infected with Conficker,but something is still disabling my antivirus and blocking acces to TrendMicro.
I just did HijackThis log,and sent it to one of the forums(I'm not that smart to anlyze it by myself).Also,I run sophos removaltool,but seems it doesn't work too.Right now,I am running Stinger(seems it works),so I'll see.

I think you need Jacee for this,in the meantime run Malwarebytes and see if it tells you anything.

 

[drazenn]

Huh,and what is Jacee?
Tried to google it and this is what I got:Japanese-American Collaborative Emulsion Experiment

 

[jfar]

Sorry Jacee is a person here on the forum, who deals with this stuff ,better than a lot of us here,thankfully,just do the malwarebytes thing.

 

[drazenn]

Aaa ,ok.
Yes,I'm downloading Malwarebytes 1.35 now,thanks.

 

[jfar]

Well anything.?

 

[drazenn]

Anything?
Five worms/trojans/viruses,one fake driver and one registry key and it's still not finished,35minutes and still counting.I don't know how did they passed by Avast Pro and Spybot.Yes,it's been a while when I did a last scan,but this is really way too much.
I believe everything will be allright when I clean that ****.
Thank you m8 on all your help,I wouldn't even think about installing Malwarebytes.I had it till version 1.33,but after some problems with updating it on version 1.34,I've uninstall it.

 

[jfar]

Thats good ,I dont know if that is the latest Malwarebytes program,I will check it out for you,anyway it is a good program and free, and it will update ,make sure you look for updates everytime you run it. I also use AVIRA as my Anti Virus and it is free and I think it a lot better than the one you are using,I have had no problems with it .

Hi,I think it is up to version 1.35.

Yea,great site,thanks

 

[drazenn]

Hi,I think it is up to version 1.35.

Yes,I also think so,
Version 1.35 is the last which I was able to find,but I always use it with resident protection,and as far I can remember,I was always very satisfied with it.It is fast,confident and reliable,when Spybot slows my PC from time to time(it increase CPU usage without any obvious reason,as I can see),and I'm really glad that I install Malwarebytes again,and that it makes me no problems with updates as in last few days when I have use it.
About antivirus,I have download Mcaffe Total Protection beta already,and will try it,and if I won't be satisfied,I'll try Avira.Thanks on that one,too.I tried Avira suite with firewall before,just tried,and I really can't remember why I uninstalled it,I think because of firewall but I'm not sure.

 

[drazenn]

Here come the final results::huh:
-8 worms/trojan/viruses
-1 fake driver
-1 corrupted registry key

Shame on me,the answer was in front of my eyes(Malwarebytes),and I didn't see it.

 

[jfar]

Your welcome, I hope it fixs it for you,let us know how you get on .

 

[jfar]

It would be no harm to run it a second time,I know it found all that ,but just to be on the safe side.

 

[drazenn]

Yep,I ran it second time,and it finished scan a lot faster(29 minutes),and didn't find anything.McAfee is running fine so far,and I can connect to TrendMicro,so I hope everything will be alright now.

 

[jfar]

Excellent,great news.

now if you dont want it to happen again. uninstall alll your anti virus and firewall software, then install eset smart security 4.0

now you should be fully protected from virus,spyware,malware and even dos with esets firewall :O, its unstoppable ;D and I bet theres still something bad left in your system
