Hi Ron,

I like Hiren's because you can make a copy of the MBR and then do the fixing. That way if it doesn't work you can back it out. With the Windows 7 disk there's no backup capability.

Most of the MBR tools require commands but most of them have a help screen that show the commands when you type /? . I usually google for the instructions.

Here are the instructions for mbr wizard

http://mbrwizard.com/reference.php

First boot up into the miniXP and then I think you can run the program from the command prompt. Hiren changes things around with each version so it's not the most user friendly thing but it is very powerful.

We will want to /save and I expect we will need to tell it where so I would try (you may have to CD to the correct folder to get it to work)

MBRWiz /Save=C:\mbrbackup.dat

MBRWiz /list would be good to do so you can see what it is up to. It shouldn't look much different from the partitions we saw earlier. If you see any other partitions then they may need to be removed.

mbrwizard can only make an XP MBR so we can't use it to repair the mbr.


MBRfix looks like it can create a good vista mbr:

MbrFix /0 fixmbr /vista

Probably shouldn't change to D: Windows needs to know where the file lives. It doesn't look everywhere. just in the folder you are in and then in a small list of folders called the path. You want to be in the same folder as mbrwiz.exe when you run the command. To see if the mbrwiz.exe is in the current folder type:

dir

To look for the file:

b:

cd \

dir /s mbrwiz.exe


To change to the folder:

cd \fullpathtofolder

the virus may be gone - i was able to run TDSSKiller from the Hiron Boot Disk and it found four errors. I booted in windows 7 and my browser did not redirect and i am now able to run the copies of TDSSKiller that would not load before.

Could you assist me in two items:

1) Can we somehow get my windows firewall back - somehow the windows firewall services got deleted
2) Should we run some additional scans to verify everything is clean

Great news.

I have a neighbor who just got a new Win 7 PC. It might be 64 bit. If so I'm sure I can go over there and export the registry entries we need in order to reinstall it. Until then:

Why don't you see if you can get Online Armor to work on your PC? It's a better firewall anyway.

Hi Ron,

That would be great if you could get the registry enteries. I just download and installed Armor. Do you suggest we run any scans to double check i am clean.

i can't tell you how much i appreciate your assistance - this has been the longest week of my life.

We need to cleanup System Restore:

Copy the following:


:Commands
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]

Right click on OTL and Run As Administrator. In the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the copied text (Ctrl + v) and then hit Run Fix.


Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue) Then the Event Viewer. Next select Windows Logs. Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear. Repeat for Application. Reboot.

Start, All Programs, Accessories then right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Then type (with an Enter after each line).

sfc /scannow

(SPACE after sfc. This will check your critical system files. If it asks for a CD and you don't have one or it doesn't like your CD just tell it to SKIP.)



Press Start in the new window. This will check your drivers. If you just get a few when it finishes tell me what they are. If you get a lot just look for those with newish dates (since about the time the problem started.)


1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso
http://images.malwar...om/vino/VEW.exe
and save it to your Desktop:
2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator
3. Under 'Select log to query', select:

* System
4. Under 'Select type to list', select:
* Error
* Warning


Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:


1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
Then click the Run button.
Notepad will open with the output log.


Please post the Output log in your next reply then repeat but select Application.

Hi Ron

So far - so good. I think we got it. You were right all along about getting TDSSKiller to run. The versions i downloaded ran but did not find the virus. The version on the Hirens CD found the virus.

The sfc /scannow completed with no errors.

Here are the (2) Logs that you requested:

I think I see why your firewall is not working.

"The Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service depends the following service: BFE. This service might not be installed."


BFE is Base Filtering Engine. You need it for the firewall to work.

Let's see what your PC has for the BFE service. Copy the next line:

reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BFE %userprofile%\Desktop\BFE.txt

Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue. Type with an Enter after each line:

Right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the line should appear. Hit Enter. Do you get an error? Now type:

net  start  BFE  >>  %userprofile%\Desktop\BFE.txt


Close the Command window. On your desktop should be a file BFE.txt. Double click on it and copy and paste the text into a reply.

Other errors:

Don't know what this is but it is not happy:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sharp\Sharpdesk\Indexer.exe

The HyperW7 Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).


This is Lenovo's RapidBoot. Supposed to make it boot faster but will cause a 30 second delay if it is not working. It may not like MBAM or AVAST. I found one post
http://forums.lenovo...wer/td-p/438847
where a guy with MSSE and MBAM removed them then reinstalled it and it started working OK.

The SNMP Service encountered an error while accessing the registry key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\TrapConfiguration.


This one is just because you have the snmp service running but never configured it. Since you don't need it (or you would have configured it by now) I would turn it off:
Go to Start menu and open Control Panel.
Click on Programs and Features and in the left pane click on 'Turn Windows features on or off'
Click yes if you are prompted with UAC and scroll down to 'Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)' in Windows Features window.
Select the SNMP check box and uncheck it then OK


The Computer Browser service terminated with the following error: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.



Let's see what your PC has for the Browser service. Copy the next line:

reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Browser %userprofile%\Desktop\Browser.txt

Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue. Type with an Enter after each line:

Right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the line should appear. Hit Enter. Do you get an error? Now type:

net  start  Browser  >>  %userprofile%\Desktop\Browser.txt


Close the Command window. On your desktop should be a file BFE.txt. Double click on it and copy and paste the text into a reply.

Hi Ron,

Here are the responses to your commands: My answers start after ******


Let's see what your PC has for the BFE service. Copy the next line:

reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BFE %userprofile%\Desktop\BFE.txt

*****This error came up: The System was unable to find the specified registry key or value*****


reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Browser %userprofile%\Desktop\Browser.txt
*****The operation completed successfully*****



Right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the line should appear. Hit Enter. Do you get an error? Now type:

net start BFE >> %userprofile%\Desktop\BFE.txt
*****The specified service does not exist as an installed service*****


Both times the BFT Texr file was created but no data was written to the file
