Ok, well I have 2 issues. One, I had a trojan on my computer I couldn't get rid of. Trojan tdss. 2, I used Combofix without a real helper. I know what I did was really stupid, listening to a friend but I was pretty desperate at the time, and I didn't want any kind of virus on my computer. (who does really?)
It all started last week. I noticed, that something was wrong with my computer when I clicked on links in google firefox and firefox kept redirecting me to wrong links. My computer was also getting slower. I did a Malware scan, and discovered that I have a trojan. Trojan Tdss to be specific. Every time I tried to remove it, and rebooted my system, it would show up again (I would do a quick scan after rebooting system to see if it's been deleted.) I ran my AVG, but it couldn't detect the virus. I installed Spybot and Adaware on my computer, they both tried to remove the virus, but it kept coming back.
A friend of mine suggested I use Combofix, I not being computer saavy downloaded the program and I used it. Before using it, I was told to disable my malware, my ad-aware and my spybot, and my AVG 8.5. My friend told me that I could disable my AVG by clicking on the resident shield and disabling it, since I don't use Norton Antivirus. Clicked on resident shield and disabled it for AVG, I just removed programs malware, ad-aware and my spybot because I didn't want to take any chances. I turned off my firewall and after all's said and done ran the program. It asked me if I wanted to install the windows recovery console, I said yes. Combofix downloaded WRC and installed it. It started it's scan, and not even 5 mins into it, it said I had to write some stuff down because I might need it later.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\SKYNETvhpwordisys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\\SKYNETcntdkejs.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\\SKYNETxkxpulhav.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\\SKYNETqlewirbp.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\\SKYNETklgcomhc.dat
The computer had to be restarted. (My computer has to be manually turned on and off in order to reboot/restart.) Then it started scanning. My friend said that it would probably take a while to finish scanning, so we went out for 30 mins we came back and my computer was turned off. (I have an "old computer" by today's standards of 5 years old.) I assumed it had to be rebooted again? So I turned it on again so that it could restart and finish it's final stages of scanning. So finally it's done scanning and it said that I could find the log(?) at C:\combofix.txt.
I noticed that my background picture is kinda screwy, I can only assume that I missed something? Or is that normal? I haven't run any programs yet, but I'm going to redownload mbam, and adaware.
I did a search for random things like "Pixar" to see if I still got redirected to the wrong places (like real estate or some ad) so far everything seems to work properly. My computer is still slow tho.
