    Okay so upload "C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc.exe" to virus total and see if it is the leigitimate file from microsoft or an imposter.
    Attachment 373159
    I checked the file with my ESET Smart Security 8 and SuperAntiSpyware Pro. I also checked the properties and it appears to be digitally signed by Microsoft.

    I'm not familiar with Virus Total. Is it on my system?

    Other than that the file appears to be good.

    The main issues I'm experiencing at the moment are that when I click on any folder or the start menu button, the system is very sluggish to respond and extremely slow when navigating between different folders. Also, when I do a shutdown, I see a webpage that the system is or has tried to connect to. It appears to be an adware type virus from hell. Also, my ESET Smart Security 8 is giving me lots of alerts about blocking the address in the picture below. So, what ever is on this system still has a remnant that wants to connect to that address.

    I've started a re-indexing for Windows Explorer and I did a SFC /SCANNOW. There were no issues with the SFC.

    This was definitely a virus attack.

    I don't believe that the two are related. Your first screenshot shows UAC asking to allow:

    "C:\Windows\System32\Wat\WatAdminSvc.exe"

    That is a legitimate process.

    ESET has detected something else.

    I'm not a malware removal expert exactly but if you like you can download and run UVK then scan and create a log.

    Also you could navigate to C:\Users\TJG\AppData\Roaming\Gayux\Devod.dll and check the file information.

    If you decide to download UVK - install it and from the welcome screen choose "Scan and create log" then upload the result.
    I'm downloading UVK now.

    The UVK log file is over 2MB.

    UVK - Ultra Virus Killer Log.txt

    You can download the UVK log file from the file drop site on the link above.

    Let me know if you see something.

    Regards

    14 posts and NO MGADiag??
    SHAME ON YOU!

    ESET has been known to flag the WAT tools in the past - it's a false positive, but semi-legitimate, since the tool will phone home every so often to pick up the latest definitions.

    Please follow this tutorial and post an MGADiag report - then we can see what the problem is.

    Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instructions

    Ignore errors produced when clicking on the Copy button - they simply mean that the tool could not create the backup files for some reason. The data is still copied to the clipboard for pasting to your response.

    Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

    It's a virus, but I'm not sure it's been completely removed, because the system doesn't behave as if the virus is completely removed. I downloaded and ran the Microsoft Safety Scanner for my Win 7 Pro x64 system. The MS Safety Scanner detected a Trojan Dynamater virus. I'm not sure about the spelling. The symptoms were constant downloading of temp files, very sluggish system when attempting to navigate between different folders in Windows Explorer. Windows Task Manger indicated significantly higher than normal system resource utilization, cpu and memory. Presently, I'm running ESET Smart Security 8 Smart Scan. It doesn't appear to be detecting anything yet and it's been running for an hour and twenty minutes. I don't know how long it will take to complete the ESET virus scan. I'm not sure if the virus software can scan the boot sectors. I will check the scan logs when the scan completes. This is a virus issue.

    From the Certificate of Authenticity Sticker:
    Windows 7 Pro OEM Software
    FQC-04849 (the 8 could be a 6, the print is illegible)
    X16-93649
    00180-451-841-077

    The ESET Smart Security 8 Smart Scan completed, but the scan logs indicate that it had errors when attempting to open the boot sectors of C:\, D:\, E:\, & O:\. Therefore, I don't think ESET SS 8 successfully scanned the boot sectors and I suspect this virus is hiding in the boot sectors and will reload when I reboot.
