Forum Rules

When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. 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.

Hello and thanks in advance to all who help people like me who find this wonderful forum.

A notebook (not this computer) here is infected with one or several viruses or malware - on reboot several windows pop up:

- Resident Shield Alert C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\IEHELPER.DLL Trojan horse BHO.JEW

- Security Warning Application cannot be executed. The file avgcsrvx.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?

- Antivirus System Pro Alert

- IE tries to go to porno.com and adult.com addresses


I cannot access any place on the web (with that infected notebook) so I at least downloaded Hijackthis with this PC and burned the file to a cd and was able to install it in Safe Mode on the infected notebook so I do have a HiJackThis Log now.

Please, What should I do now? This is the worst infection I have ever seen.

Edit: I ran MalwareBytes plus AVG free (Only able to do this in safe mode) and still these infections remain.
