Hello All,

My computer was recently infected by a virus and all attempts to get rid of it have failed so far. each time I run ESET, my anti virus software, which I have run under normal conditions and in safemode, it reports that it caught s few bugs and cleaned them.

nonetheless, when I boot my computer IE is running, occasionally I will hear adds in the background and my internet searches are being redirected.

Delete the MBA-M installation file that is on your pc at present.
Go back to download MBA-M again. Click on the link to download it. Select the "Save" option.
When the panel pops up to ask you where you wish to save the file, before choosing where, rename the file.
Once you have saved it, try again to install it. If it installs ok, run it as described above.

If still no good, try this;

Open Device Manager and on the VIEW Tab, select the Show hidden devices option.
Go down to non plug and play drivers and see if there is one called TDSSserv and disable it.

==

Reboot and try MBA-M now.

If still no good, we will try something else.

If any of the above worked, tell me which one.

Hello Crunchie, thanks for getting back to me,

I had some issues running the Malwarebytes scan. Initially it wouldnt let me install the software itself but if I hit Ctrl/Alt/Del I could see it running on in my processes. I tooled around with it a little and got it to complete the installation but then, when I tried to run it, it wouldn't come up even though, again, I could see it in my processes as mbam.exe.

I wasn’t able to run the ESET scan so I ran housecall, it found a Trojan. I didn’t know how to print a log so I had it delete the trojan. Housecall said it was BKDR_TDSS.SM. I ran the Housecall scan again and nothing came up.

I d/led and installed the recent version of hijackthis, here is the log:

Option 1: the attempt to install MBA did not work. Similiar to last time, it got as far as extracting the file at which point the program would lock up in the installation process and the only way to break through would be to forcible close it.

Option 2: There is no driver listed as TDSSserv.

Delete the MBA-M installation file that is on your pc at present.
Go back to download MBA-M again. Click on the link to download it. Select the "Save" option.
When the panel pops up to ask you where you wish to save the file, before choosing where, rename the file.
Once you have saved it, try again to install it. If it installs ok, run it as described above.
If still no good, try this;

You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
Physically disconnect from the internet.
Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Run Combofix ONCE only!!

First of, I think my computer is running much better. thank you for taking the time to help me figure this out.

so I was able to run combofix (there were a couple issues that i can go into detail about if you like) and here is the log that was produced:

I also ran housecall, which found nothing, and ESET, which found a couple bugs. neither allowed me to produce logs that I could show here.

finally, I ran MalawareBytes that you originally suggested, here is the log for that:

So, is it time to celebrate yet? how do I know if my computer is actually free of the unpleasantness? is there someway of insuring that these things wont resurface?

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from  HERE  or HERE
You must rename combofix BEFORE saving it to your pc.
You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
Physically disconnect from the internet.
Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a log.  Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
CF disconnects your machine from the internet.  The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run.  If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.
Run Combofix ONCE only!!

There are no guarantees that ones PC is absolutely free of unwanted guests, other than having a new hard drive, freshly formatted with a new install of Windows that does not go on the net, or file share :).
