Hello,

Very recently our computer started acting weird. We were forced by the microsoft security center to download one of 10 products to remove what MSC said were possible trojans... googleupdater, yupdater, etc.. i finally chose Red Cross.

Everything was fine til today.

Now IE won't load and WIndows Installer won't start. I can't start the MSI service manually and it is set to manual. Webclient service is listed a "stopping" I can right click services but am unable to view properties, also double-clicking does not produce any results.

Luckliy I had a copy of firefox stored sround and about so I could get this web page.

I have tried to install various spyware and malware and updated this and updated that... but I can't install any of the downloaded files.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Steve,

Sorry to say but you have been had good. Now your machine is really infected with Trojans.

To fix the problem, I must have a Hyjacthis log.

Please download, install and request a scan and save a log. Copy the log and post it here.

Regards

Greetings,

It would have been nice of you to at least say hello when you posted your log. I am just a poor lonesome volunteer on this forum you know.

Anyway, I have analysed your log.

Please launch another Hyjackthis scan without the log and check the following:

Now once all checked, click on "Fix Checked" and close Hyjackthis

Finally for the final but necessary scrubby dub dub:

Download, install and run Malwarebyte which you can find on this site:

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/ es-anti-malware

Ensure you make an update.

Please request a FULL system scan, which may take from 20 minutes to hours. Do not interfere no matter how long in takes. The creators of Malwarebyte recommend that while the tool is running that you go do something else, such as watching a rerun of Gone with the Wind or read Tolstoy's War and Peace.

If Malwarebyte restarts your system, launch it again to finish the Full scan.

When the scan is completed, delete all items found.

Once your computer is clean and working normally just to be on the safe side
*Turn off system restore and wait 30 seconds,
*Turn it back on and create a new restore point.

This way it gets rid of anything bad that might have gotten saved in a restore point and you have a clean restore point to use in the near future if needed.
Do not turn it off until your computer is clean and working normally because you might need to use it if something goes wrong during the clean-up process.
It is better to go back to an infected restore point if something goes wrong then to not be able to undo changes that were damaging.

If the above is not completely successful it is due to malicious processes. Let me know and we shall stop them, anyway, I would much appreciate how your system is performing after the above operations.

Sorry guy! Hi! How are you and thank you for your voluntary help:) I was able to find a fix for my issue. I was searching around looking for others' that had my experience. Finally I did a goodle of "Red Cross Antivirus" this took me to a link explaining that this is an example of a type of "scare" antivirus and trojan installation scam. I followed the directions using an app called "rkill." and then installed malwarebytes anti-malware, this cleaned me all up.

I should have posted this fix immediately, sorry again.

Thx a bunch

Hello,

I am glad you found the solution. I knew from what you described that it was a rogue trojan horse which on the onset required to run rkill to stop the processes. But you mentioned that you had already installed the fake software. Usualy people do not get that stage.

Anyway thank you very much for letting me know. Should you require help on anything else, you are welcome back.

Regards
