Yes, continue with the removal guide. I was just wondering if you d/l ed the Windows ISO to make a Windows Seven disk for re-installation. If you do so, make sure you d/l & make it on a clean PC. Otherwise the data on it could be corrupted by the infected PC.
Text file of adw report attached. You see how it says the pc name is Sorci? When I reinstalled both times I changed my pc name. How is it remembering these things??
K, thanks Borg. :)
The malware is obviously coming from somewhere, I would guess it's either a rootkit or the Windows Disk your using has the malware on it. Run TDSSKiller, it's a quick scan & if you do have a rootkit, then we've found the source. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to re-make the Win 7 disk on a different, clean PC & do the clean re-install as suggested by gregrocker.
In addition scan your backup where the files you're importing into new install are kept.
Ok so I using the guide I followed the steps to remove from windows, remove from IE, remove from Chrome. I scanned with adw cleaner and it found 1 thing within IE. Malaware bytes says I'm clean. Hitman Pro found 8 traces and took care of them. Now I'll scroll up and try the new directions.
TDSSKiller = reg cleaner pro?
No, TDSSKiller = TDSSKiller
TDSSKiller Download
I'm using Super antispyware prof to scan drives. Scanning external hard drive as directed.
Thanks Derekimo. It's downloaded and scanning.
Malaware bytes comes up with nothing.
TDSSKiller says there aren't any threats.
