Hello,

My computer has been acting weird, doing funky stuff on its own! Someone had me checked task manager and told noticed that I have 2 csrss.exe running.i tried running a regedit to locate and remove, however it keeps coming back as 'finished searching' with no results. I've done it in safe mode too. I've ran spybot several times in regular and safe mode, no luck. I also have macfee installed. How can I get this virus off my computer? Pls help, I'm a very novice user, pls explain in simple terms :-) Thanks

To help you and prescribe the remedy, I must make a diagnostic and to do so, I require a report.

1. Open this link and download ZHPDiag :
https://nicolascoolman.eu
(Don't be alarmed is the site is in French, it sometimes happens, the tool will take your system language and allow the download if you get a warning message, ignore it.) Click on the download button

2. Save the file on your Desktop.

3. Double click on ZHPDiag.exe and follow the installation instructions.

(For Vista, Win 7 and 8 users, click right to ensure you execute with admin right)

4. Double click on the short cut ZHPDiag on your Destktop.

5 Click on scan
Wait for the tool to finished (maybe a long time)

6. Close ZHPDiag.

7. To transmit the report, click on this link :

http://www.tinyupload.com/index.php

8. Search the directory where you installed ZHPDiag (usually C:\desktop\zhpdiag.txt).

9. Copy the url link obtained from tinyupload and paste it here in your reply.

Hello Deb,

You live dangerously with your downloads while looking for bargains. Your machine is badly infected with hijackers, adware, spyware and Trojans, altogether there 97 of them.

You are also seriously compromising your machine as you do not have any antivirus software. An antivirus software is an absolute must if you wish to use internet.

Without an antivirus, you will be here again next week asking for help. If you can't purchase one, I can get you one for free.

There are also there are 439 superfluous files.

csrss.exe was not your virus.

Here is how we will disinfect your machine.

1. Download ZHPFix here

https://nicolascoolman.eu

2. Select and copy all of the following bold lines.

8. A report will appear on your desktop and on C:\ZHP\ZHPFix[R1].txt which you can copy and paste in your reply.

Good luck and let me know

Best regards

Deb, sorry, I over looked, you have Mcafee, I have the same. But you also have AVG and Spybot, You should have only one antivirus software otherwise they come in conflict, create false positive or let viruses through. Just stick with McAfee.

I must soon logout and may not be able to continue with you till tomorrow at 5am New Years Eve, eastern standard time.

After ZHP Fix, restart your computer. After you restarted I will require a new ZHP diag report. So please, generate a new report and upload it on tinyupload McAfee has been disabled we must get it going again.

Cheers

Ok that makes sense. I only downloaded spybot to see if I could clean out the computer. I'll remove once the program is finished running. Should I also remove the malware as well?

Hi Deb

There 30 malware that remain.

Your antivirus is still deactivated.

Please download and run ZHP Cleaner

https://nicolascoolman.eu

click on scan, then on clean and produce a report to be pasted here.

Open your McAfee and tell me of any me it says that your computer is secured.

Catch you later

Hi Ambucias, Happy New year, I cleaned the computer, but when I tried to respond to you via the computer, I couldn't. There's still something that's controlling the computer. The screen kept going up and down really fast. :-(

Hi Deb

I have a three more things for you to do, but you must not omit anyone.

First

Go to your control panel, add/uninstall programs. Search for QuickTimePlayer and uninstall it.

Second

Copy the following bold lines:

Script ZHPFix
FirewallRaz
EmptyPrefetch
EmptyTemp
EmptyFlash
O4 - GS\CommonDesktop [Public]: QuickTime Player.lnk . (...) C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID\{977AE9CC-AF83-45E8-9E03-E2798216E2D5}


Open ZHP Fix, close all other programs including this one, click on Import and clean as you did the first time.

Third and extremely important

Open your McAfee antivirus programme, tell me if it says that your computer is protected.

Good luck

Hi Ambucias, when I searched for QuickTimePlayer, it says that it cannot find... I also did a line by line check and cannot locate.. could it be under a different name?

Okay, go to the second phase and QuickPlayer.exe should get deleted.

Don't forget step three.

Hi Deb

Using Explorer (not internet explorer but Windows file explorer) please find this file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe

Once you have found it, please delete it.

Does your McAfee icon appear in your task bar, right bottom corner of your screen?

How is your machine performing ?

Deb,

The log you recently sent indicates that you do not have any antivirus nor a firewall.

In your system, not your own but your computer's there are remnants of AVG, Norton and Spybot. There is Norton Toolbar which may cause the flickering.

Two(VBS script can't be found

This has to do with McAfee, to fix it:

Click on start button, type cmd. In the search result right-click on cmd and selectRun as administrator.
Type cd %windir%\system32 and press enter.
Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll in command prompt and press enter.

Download and run this Malwarebyte cleaning software

Four

Another ZHP Diag report.

You have your work cut out.

Cheers and have fun

P.S. Bizarre you got a very bad virus file connected from this site:www.1800mattress which is difficult to removed
