critical error shutdown when online

    Hi,

    Accidentally clicked YES when Spybot spotted something suspicious on 4th of August and AntiMalware Doctor installed itself and possibly other nasties also.

    I think I have managed to get rid of that with Malware bytes and some manual registry edits.

    But I still have some problems. If I boot up and allow pc to establish wireless network connection a window pops up and says that

    “Windows has encountered a critical error and will restart in one minute. Please save your work"

    The machine then goes into a shutdown and reboot loop. (like'd you'd get with the SASSER worm although there in no mention of the NT Authority System in the popup )

    If I turn off the wireless router and then boot up normmally I do not get the shutdown message and the PC seems to function normally. I'm also OK in Safe mode but not in Safe mode with Networking (again the shutdown message appears)

    Ran Superantispyware and it found Rootkit Agent GEN TDSS and I used Superantispkyware to get rid of this also.

    So now Spybot, Superantispyware and MalwareBytes are all saying they cannot find anything suspicious following a full scan. However, the shutdown/restart problem remains.


    Here are my DDS files (note ran this with internet connection turned off). You help is appreciated.

    Hi,

    Thanks very much for your reply.

    Downloaded Combofix. Before running it I turned off antivirus as instructed (had to de-install Spybot as I could not end teatimer.exe).

    Here is my Combofix log. I have not attmepted to connect to internet (sending this from another machine) to see if the problem is now corrected, and will await further instructions from you.

    Advice much appreciated.

      OK,

      Thanks again for getting back to me.

      I followed your instructions and here is where I got to.

      1.
      I download OTM and TFC as instucted. Had some difficulties but eventually got both to run (had to remane them as .com - it seemed like .exe would not run)

      2.
      OTM asked to reboot and I said Ok and then went to get the log file (see below) from the C:

      Next I restored my internet connection on the infected machine in order to update malwarebytes

      However, I could not download malwarebytes to the infected machine (as soon as I got online and tried to download it the same critical error shutdown message appeared and I could not complete the download)

      Therefore I have attempted a manual update by downloading the mban-rules.exe file from http://malwarebytes.gt500.org/

      I ran this file and then ran malwarebytes. However the log file reported no infections (I can post it if required)


      3. Due to the critical shutdown message I cannot stay online long enough to run kaspersky online virus check.

      Here is the OTM log (I ran the OTM code you provided twice, the first time in safe mode and the second one after a normal boot)

      OTM LOG 1 (ran OTM in safe mode)

      Thanks again for your help to date.

      To be honest symptoms seem to be getting worse. Getting shutdown message now even when machine is offline following a normal boot.

      Can only do things at this point in safe mode.

      I'm at the point of backing up my stuff and considered reformatting and reinstalling Windows 7.

      In your view should I admit defeat at this point and go with the reinstall ?

      (I am right in thinking that a full reinstall will automatically wipe the drive of all contents including the infection ?)

      your PC is not infected so its something else causing your problems.

      I think a format would be the best solution, seems like there has been a lot of damage done to your PC.


      One question, have you been using registry cleaners on the machine ? They could have been responsible for this mess

      I would agree with the format/reinstall but it is a bold statement to say "your PC is not infected". With all the best intentions in the world none of the AV, Anti-Malware, Anti-Rootkit software will remove everything. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and reinstall, it is probably better to be safe than sorry anyway.

      Thanks

      I have a programme called Glary Utilities PRO and one of the things its supposed to do is registry cleanups. I had spent a day or two trying to remove the viruses myself and had already run programme before I came here for assistance.

      Thanks for taking the time to assist me. I'll do a reformat and reinstall and be a lot more careful in future.

      The only registry cleaner that really works is the fella that sticks the CD in and reinstalls ;)

      Did a clean install of Windows 7 and everything looks fine now.

      For anyone who has not done this before and is a bit worried about doing it incorrectly, this very detailed step by step guide may be of use.

      Keep up the good work. Great Boards Thread.

      Got this virus last Sunday when visiting the Sky Player website. Will do a clean install as I have tried everything to fix it. Be careful if you visit their site.
