Hi, A few days ago I started having troubles. I ran my SuperAnti Spyware free edition only to find out that I had a trojan virus. I could not get rid of it so downloaded malware. That seemed to take care of that problem. Now I run my SAS and it says that I have 10 TDSSServ.Sys on my computer. I follow their directions to rid my computer of it, shut it down and it returns. I have my system restore turned off. I made a hijack this log and have no idea how to read it. I am hoping that you can help me get this stuff off my computer and keep it off. HELP! I have been running the trend penicillin virus scan and have kept it up to date. It doesn't seem to catch any of these. I installed that AntiVir to see if that would help. I think I need a spyware that will catch the stuff if it comes in but not sure if there is a good free one.

Welcome. Thank you for using Dell Community Forums.
I am reviewing your log. In the meantime, you can help me by addressing the following:
* Please enable System Restore NOW! We will purge your infected restore points at the end of our fix.
* You are doing more harm than good by running two anti-virus programs in realtime. Please remove one.
* Have you have posted this issue on another forum? If so, please provide a link to the topic.
* If you have disabled System Restore in an attempt to begin cleaning malware, please enable it now. We will flush System Restore when we are finished cleaning and we are sure that everything is running smoothly.
* If you are using any P2P (file sharing) programs, please remove them before we clean your computer. The nature of such software and the high incidence of malware in files downloaded with them is counter productive to restoring your PC to a healthy state. There is a list here: http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19241146/19367569.aspx#19367569
* If this computer belongs to someone else, do you have authority to apply the fixes we will use?
* Have you already fixed entries using HijackThis? If so, please restore all the backups and then post another log.
* After we begin working, please print or copy all instructions to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out procedures. Please follow all instructions in sequence. Do not, on your own, install/re-install any programs or run any fixes or scanners that you have not been instructed to use because this may cause conflicts with the tools that I am using. Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.
* During the course of our cleanup please do not do any online work or surfing until we have verified that your system is clean.
* We may be using some specialized tools during our fix. Certain embedded files that are part of legitimate programs or specialized fix tools such as process.exe, restart.exe, SmiUpdate.exe, reboot.exe, ws2fix.exe, prcviewer.exe and nircmd.exe may at times be detected by some anti-virus/anti-malware scanners as a "RiskTool", "Hacking tool", "Potentially unwanted tool", or even "malware (virus/trojan)" when that is not the case. Such programs have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized user or administrator has knowingly installed it. These detections do not necessarily mean the file is malware or a bad program. It means it has the potential for being misused by others. Anti-virus scanners cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert you or even automatically remove them.
* If your replies do not fit in one post while we are handling your issue, please reply to yourself until all text is submitted. It may take several posts.
I look forward to your reply so we can begin cleaning.
Instructions posted for this user are customized for this user only. The tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections. If you think you have similar problems, please post a HijackThis log at the top of this board to start a new forum topic.
Which virus scan would be a better choice? Trend Penicillin or the AntiVir? I desperate what can I say?:emotion-1: And yes it is my computer and I can run the files.
I previously downloaded and ran malwarebytes. It says there is nothing yet SuperSpyWare says there is 10 root kits. The hijack post is after I ran these 2 programs. I've had SuperSpyWare remove them rebooted and ran it all again. Then Marware says there is nothing and SSW says there is 5. So what is going on do I have a problem or not? thanks
Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Then click Finish.
MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.
If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.
Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates,
manually download them fromhere and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install. Alternatively, you can update through MBAM's interface from a clean computer, copy the definitions (rules.ref) located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from that system to a usb stick or CD and then copy it to the infected machine.
On the Scanner tab:
Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
Then click on the Scan button.
If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top.
It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully.
Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
Back at the main Scanner screen:
Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Copy and paste the contents of that report along with a fresh HijackThis log into your next reply and exit MBAM.
Note:-- If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.
-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.
I just put my system restore back on. I ran MalwareBytes and it says everything is fine. Then I ran SuperSpyWare and it says that there is 10 TDSSERV.SYS. Deleted them, shut down started back up again and it is the same thing. Keeps happening over and over and over. I have never had anything like this on SuperSpyWare.
