ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.
To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

Earlier tonight I was online and my internet explorer crashed suddenly and then a program claiming to be Safety Center popped up and warned me that my computer is infected with viruses and urged me to purchase the program. I shut my computer (currently running Windows XP) down to prevent further damage, but it was too late. The entire system has been locked by the virus(es). I am unable to edit the registry, connect to the internet, start task manager, run in safe mode, or access my USB drives. Furthermore, the viruses have disabled access to Malwarebytes and my Antivirus software (Zone Labs).
In addition to having "Safety Center" running out of control on my computer, I also have popup alerts from some program calling its self "Antivirus System Pro alert" which I also cannot get rid of. I have tried starting the computer in safemode, but the computer flashes a blue screen for less than a second and reboots. I have also tried to edit the registry to remove the corrupted keys, but when I typed regedit into the run field the computer came up with an error message that said "registry edit disabled by the administrator". I attempted to run a Malwarebytes scan but the file path "could not be found" and redownloading the program is out of the question because as soon as the internet explorer is opened it disapears. I am also unable to disable the processes running with the taskmanager because the program has blocked access saying that "taskmanager is infected with a virus". As you can see, everything I have tried so far has failed. I would really appreciate any advice because I am out of ideas. Thanks. . This post has been edited by skkurz: Nov 5 2009, 01:07 AM |
