Hello, I am currently at a friends house, who has MAJOR syware, malware, and adware problems. I just spent most of my day doing a good clean. Then I had to remove About:Blank (pain in the @ss!). So now, I have it all done, except for this one malware, which I have never come across, called winik. Avast, Microsoft Anti Apyware, and Ewido, will remove this threat, but comes back on the next log on.

Also I have NO idea what is wrong with his PC, but I cannot run cmd it says

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.com
C:1WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Mircrosoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

I don't quit know why, but this isnt necessarily a good PC, soo ....

Also when I run in safe mode, there is nothing to do, its just all black.

1. The AUTOEXEC.NT error is not uncommon, and is most likely due to corruption of that file. Try this:

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Windows\Repair folder; in that folder you should find backup versions of the "autoexec.nt" and "config.nt" files.

Copy both of these files into the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder, answering YES when/if asked if you want to replace the existing files.


2. For the winik infection:

a) Download the Registry Search Tool from here:
http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/vbsfiles/RegSrch.zip

Unzip to your Desktop and double click on regsrch.vbs
(if you have script protection, please allow this to run)

In the dialog that opens enter the following:
winik

Press 'OK'

The search will run for a while then alert you when it is finished.

Press 'OK' and copy the contents of the WordPad window and post in this thread.


b) Download WinPFind. Follow the usage instructions given on the download page and post the log here.


c) Run ewido again and post the scan report log it generates.
