  • Please scan your system for rootkit activity. If you don't have this kind of scanner you can download one from http://www.gmer.net. Once you've done that enter safe mode (try using a boot cd and copy these files in other location if you can't see them in Safe Mode) and send us any hidden file that were reported by the rootkit scanner. Also please try to send us the file D:\WINDOWS\system32\windows (again you may need to enter safe mode or try with a boot cd. If you don't see the file using the boot cd then it means it was deleted by one of your antiviruses).

  • Have you scanned your computer for rootkit activity? The tmp files are part of the files that PowerDataRecovery could not recover.

    Sorry for the delay. It is highly probable that you are infected with a version of Vundo virus. To be sure, please send me the file "D:\WINDOWS\system32\sstqo.dll".

    yes, that is vundo all right(that explains the popups in iexporer, and why it didn't appear in hijackthis.log : as far as i know it displays 100 popups per day and injects itself in hijackthis.exe so it doesn't appear in the log). You have to delete that file. you can try in safe mode or using a boot cd. To remove the red cross over your hard drive try to delete this key using regedit (after you have deleted the file) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Drive Icons


    (and by the way, if you were using bitdefender you wouldn't be infected right now (BitDefender detects that file))


    Tell me how it went.

    To get a full HiJackThis Log download Highjack this and rename the executable to something like myscanner.exe and then rerun it.


    Since you do have Vundo on your machine I recommend download and running VundoFix


    If it is still running I recommend downloading Comodo Firewall 3 to run side by side with bitdefender.


    Comodo's Defense+ system will more then likely stop vundo from doing anything once installed.


    Just make sure you turn on everything to Paranoid Mode not Clean PC or Installation Mode, and anything that happens on your system will have to be approved by Comodo Defense+ and Comodo Firewall.


    Also make sure that you enable all of Bitdefenders registry's privacy control.


    Do not forget to disable your internet on this machine, as having enabled could allow an attacker to stop you while you try to clean up. If you do have to enable the internet only enable it for a short period of time.
