virus software keeps finding but not removing

Welcome :emotion-1: I understand that this is your daughter's computer. It has a lot of old infections on it and I'm not sure what we'll see once we look deeper.  It may be time to reformat and reinstall the operating system.

A few questions:

1. Have you tried going to Microsoft Updates and seeing if any patches are needed?

2. At what point did you install AVG?

3. Does your daughter do Peer-to-Peer file sharing?

We need to see some additional information about what is happening in this machine.

• Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links. Save it to your desktop.
  • DDS.scr
  • DDS.pif
• Double click on the DDS icon, allow it to run.
• A small box will open, with an explanation about the tool.
• Click Yes at the prompt for Optional Scan.
• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs

• 1. DDS.txt
  2. Attach.txt

• Save both reports to your desktop.
• Copy/paste both logs to your reply on the forum.
• Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.

• Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet. Information on A/V control HERE.

Good work! :emotion-15:

As long as you have MBAM and are familiar with running it, please update it and run a scan. Please post the log from that scan in your next reply.

Thanks.

Yes, I have been able to download up-dates

I just loaded AVG within the last week

No- no peer tp peer ( that I know of )

Regarding this entry:

2009-10-26 21:10:25 17727 ----a-w- c:\windows\system32\datkkq32.dll

Info here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Backdoor%3AWin32%2FBerbew.J

Considering that this involves an information stealer, I would not want to risk leaving any remnant of it on my computer, and I were you, for peace of mind, I would back up documents, pictures, and music, and do a reformat/reinstall of windows. Following that change passwords.

In addition, among other problems, the registry is also showing [windows auto update] msblast.exe

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/msblast.exe-6406.html

You should also understand that once a system has been compromised by a Trojan backdoor, it can never really be trusted again unless you completely reformat the hard drives and reinstall Windows fresh. While we usually can successfully remove malware like this, we cannot guarantee that it is totally gone, and that your system is completely safe to use for future financial information and/or transactions. We therefore usually recommend that you do a full reformat and reinstall of Windows rather than clean the system. There are so many changes that could have been done if that backdoor was used.

I will leave that decision up to you. If you decide to proceed with trying to clean the trojan in this forum, I cannot guarantee that we will be able to COMPLETELY clean all components of such a dangerous infection.

Here are some informative links to use to help you make a decision:

Consumers ? Identity Theft

Microsoft Says Recovery from Malware Becoming Impossible

However, if you do not have the resources to reformat the computer and reinstall the operating system and programs and would like me to attempt to clean it, I will be happy to do so. It will take a while, however.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post.

I can provide you with a link to Dell's good instructions for reinstalling XP, but I will have to send you to the Dell Microsoft OS Forum to post any additional questions that you might want answered regarding that process.

Basically, you'll need your operating system CD's that came with the computer. It would be good to print the instructions that Dell supplies on their pages at the link here:

http://tinyurl.com/5j2b62

 Make a note of in which order you'll need to install the drivers. After you get XP installed, go to Microsoft Updates and update with as many of the patches that Microsoft offers you. After that install your anti-virus >other security >other programs.

The process may take you an entire day, so make sure you have plenty of time.

Best of luck for all to go well.

thanks bugbatter... I have taken this computer and will assign it to work duty. ( work duty is very limited )

so,,, if we could go the re-format route, that would be great.

Just not sure how to go about it....
