spyware/trojan/virus help
 
so i dont know what happened because i dont download things onto my work computer but it somehow got a bug in it that does a few things

1) whenever i click a link it'll redirect to another page with a download link

2) music/voices will start to play out of nowhere and i have to turn off some service called PING.exe for the sounds to stop

3) i'll keep getting an official looking Adobe pop-up requesting to install Adobe Flash to the latest version (ive updated to the latest through the adobe site manually as i read that was a possible solution but nope)


I've run multiple spyware/adware apps and virus scanners in safe mode too but they're not finding it

i've ran superantispyware, malwarebytes, spybotS&D, kaspersky, hijackthis, stinger (which actually found some Artemis trojan/virus removed it but problem remains), adaware

and nothing works/finds an issue except where noted


-_- im about to just format the bloody thing


any suggestions?

dl malwarebytes and spyware doctor and scan with those

if it doesn't work... try system restoring to a point when your computer was fine

goodluck

StylinRed 02-06-2012 08:22 AM

Nothing in the log really stands out.

Have you successfully removed ping.exe? Or does it keep coming back?

StylinRed 02-06-2012 12:14 PM

I tried multiple system restore points but it fails, and i tried to go into safe mode again to try all the different scans again but now the computer wont boot up and a system repair doesnt work either -_- i guess ive got no choice but to reinstall now

Remove hdd and plug it into another machine. From there you can run scans again, and just select that hd to scan.

StylinRed 02-06-2012 02:06 PM

Ah i didnt think about that, thanks!

You're probably going to need to run the scans in safe mode, if you haven't already.

Boot into safemode with networking by hammering the F8 key when you're first booting up.

Download Malwarebytes - and let it update via the internet - then run the full scan.


I found quite a few malware types won't clean up properly if you don't enter safe mode.

Did you not read his post? He did boot into safe mode and scanned it with Malwarebytes.

oops, i thought i read it properly.

I think Avast does a boot-time scan. I'd maybe give that a try.

StylinRed 02-07-2012 03:17 PM

Ah, i gave up whatever it was however it got in there it won, lol, i backed up important files and am installing windows again

StylinRed 02-07-2012 05:20 PM

odd.... installed windows 7 again but it can't detect any network adapters.... how does that make sense?

last time i installed win7pro on this laptop it had most of the drivers and i just connected to the net to download the remaining

this time around i cant connect to anything at all wires or wireless -_-



such a pita

ddr 02-07-2012 06:45 PM

strange.. is this a streamlined or downloaded version with apps bundled? is there an exclamation mark beside the item in device manager?

having drivers =/ connection, can possibly be loose antenna wire or faulty device. not very likely, since you were fine before you formatted.

StylinRed 02-07-2012 07:33 PM

My windows is a download from that company that msdt uses to sell windows, ive used it before on the same laptop and the drivers were already available from the install

Anyhow i downloaded all the drivers onto an external and moved them over to this laptop and everythings working right again -_- yay finally

Thanks for the help guys
