    Actually, edee, I did a complete hdd wipe now, so it should be good.

    I've gotten wifi on the laptop with the fresh install. Downloaded MSE and MBAM, all clear! I've been following the SF OEM Clean Install tutorial. (Haven't installed any not found drivers yet because I'm also dealing with a laptop that was full of BSOD. So, I'm treading slowly to see if it's a hardware problem. )

    Of course, the real challenge might be getting the backed up files back onto the laptop. I'm still having trouble scanning the external HD I mentioned with MBAM. I was able to individually scan some folders without MBAM freezing. However, the bigger ones kept freezing the program mid-scan. Still. (Note, I've gotten no threats from the ones I was able to scan, but like I said yesterday, MBAM was showing at least 13 detected objects before it would freeze and become unresponsive.)

    I've got SuperAntiSpyware scanning it now, to see if that can complete a scan.

    See if you could download the Hirens bootcd

    Hiren's BootCD 15.2 - All in one Bootable CD » www.hiren.info

    Burn the ISO to a disc by right-clicking on the ISO file and choose but image to disc . Boot to the disc and run malwarebytes from there . Update the definitions first .

       Note
    Its a live CD

    sharona,

    Before you engage in anything else, please do the following:

    Go to the TDSSKiller Download
    Select the .exe version
    Double-click on TDSSKiller.exe to run the program.


    When the TDSSKiller console opens, click on: Change Parameters
    Under Additional Options, place a check in the box next to: Detect TDLFS File System
    Click: OK


    Press: Start Scan



    •If a suspicious object is detected by this program, the default action is Skip. Leave this action as is, and click on: Continue
    •If malicious objects are found, they show in the Scan results.
    Ensure Cure (the default action) is selected, then click: Continue > Reboot now, to finish the cleaning process.
    (Note: If Cure is not available, select Skip, >>Do not select: Delete<<)


    When done, the tool creates a log on the disk with the Windows Operating System, normally C:\


    Logs have a name like:
    C:\TDSSKiller.X.X.X_1.05.2013_15.31.43_log.txt


    Please attach the TDSSKiller log in your reply.

    VistaKing, I couldn't find a target link for .iso download at the site. I found this after googling, though. Is it legit?

    Cottonball, do you want me to run TDSSKiller on just the other person's laptop or also on mine?

    Looks legit . I believe cottonball wants you to run the TSSKiller on the laptop with the issue .

    Did you select Detect TDLFS File System ?

    If you did . And your laptop freezes when you scan the external drive the issue could be with the drive itself . Did you have that plugged in when you ran TSSKiller ?

    Sorry, it's been a long day, and I think I'm starting to confuse myself. The log I posted was from the laptop I wiped and did a clean install on. Attaching the one for my personal one which does have the HD plugged in. I did check that detect option while the external drive was plugged in. Still, no issues.

    ETA: (I don't know if this forum allows double-posting or not, so I'm editing this post to add something.)

    Re: MBAM issues: I did run SuperAntiSpyware on the external hard drive, and it found only 1 thing, the Trojan.Agent/Gen, and the file was removed. I wasn't able to run MBAM on the external hard drive from the bootCD, unfortunately. (I didn't see the option to scan the drive with MBAM when right-click, nor did I see the option in MBAM to select the drive.)

    I noticed that Windows wants to "Fix File System Errors" on the hard drive, possibly after a force shut down it wasn't disconnected correctly. I haven't done this in forever, so please forgive the possibly silly question. But, if I allow it to automatically fix system errors on the external drive, do I risk it deleting anything/everything? I thought maybe the system errors could be what's freezing MBAM.

    Sorry for the double post, I just wanted to upload this MBAM log. I was finally able to get it to work from the bootcd. I've attached it. (I noticed there were a few things found on the "X:\" drive, but the X drive apparently referred to the mini Win XP environment the CD booted into -- or that's how I understood it.) I had the things detected removed.

    Also, quick question, hope it's okay to ask. The documents I need to put back on the other person's laptop don't seem to be infected. Would I be able to maybe upload them to a cloud site and then download them to the laptop I need to put them on without transferring a virus/malware -- since I'm not plugging the infected external HD directly to the machine?

    Thanks in advance!

    Our apology, sharona, but, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware needs to be installed and run from the Operating System, and not a Hiren's Boot CD. Running it from this kind of CD is not proper (End-User License Agreement), and is subject to a high rate of false positives.

    Please refresh my memory, which laptop is the one with the problem, the one with ComputerName: AMERICANMARBLE, or, ComputerName: NAOKO?
