| 1213144 | 2011-06-29 07:54:00 | I somehow managed to pick something up a while ago. All it has done till now is use up all of my bandwidth :( and takes up some cpu every once in a while. It comes up on Zone Alarm (I use this to stop it wasting my internet now) at startup and I always tick "remember this" and click deny, but it keeps replicating itself and up till now, after full system scans, Malwarebytes, Avast, Superantispyware, even the website that told me it's a virus doesn't pick it up (www.greatis.com) I was wondering if anyone else would know how I can get rid of it. It's located in windows/temp/mrt81CC.tmp/ I was thinking of just doing a full system restore (my ipod isn't being detected, even with a reinstall of the drivers) I will probably do combofix and another malwarebytes scan in safe mode, unless you suggest anything different. |

| 1213145 | 2011-06-29 07:59:00 | Go into the Temp file and delete it -as it says its only a temp. if its active, you may have to delete it in safe mode. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1213146 | 2011-06-29 08:02:00 | Did you turn system restore off before scanning? If not that might be where it's hiding | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1213147 | 2011-06-29 08:21:00 | Woah, stuff can hide is system restore? I shall have to give it a try. | nerd (109) | ||
| 1213148 | 2011-06-29 08:28:00 | Turn system restore off, reboot and turn it back on again. This will remove all restore points. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

| 1213151 | 2011-06-29 22:30:00 | Thats why I usually disable SR. It either fills up the hdd sooner or later. Or its a good hiding place for malware. Its not good for anything | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1213152 | 2011-06-29 23:03:00 | Woah, stuff can hide is system restore? I shall have to give it a try. yes but the virus in system restore will be inactive/inert. A bit like AV finding virus's in old email attachments. Clean it out , but in wouldnt be doing anything. Also del your Windows\prefetch & default IE. Use a NON MS file browser to del ALL temp internet files . Win has the nasty habit of hiding temp int files it thinks you shouldnt del. Dont run manual scan's with the default settings, set to scan all files. Look at what it finds & where it finds it, it may be just cookies, old email,false positives. The MK1 eyeball is still pretty usefull. Some rare malware arnt detectable by anything. A reload is then the easiest option. |

| 1213153 | 2011-06-30 04:15:00 | System restore can get infected, but its only a case of turn it off, reboot and turn it back on and its cleaned . System restore CAN be very useful . Classic example about 30 minutes ago, one of my workshop PC's I was trying the New Spybot S&D V2, well what a mess, first it wouldn't install correctly, then after finally deciding to remove it, the damn thing wouldn't uninstall . The internet got cut off, it blocked every browser from opening ( new features)No removal program would fix it, but ran system restore back to this morning and its all gone and alls working again . |
