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.

Ok so obviously I have a virus, and the AntiVirus software alerts I get are bogus, this happened before I remember but I need help to get this virus off my computer. Can anyone help? I would much appreciate it.

Hello,

Please follow the instructions in ==>This Guide<==. If you cannot complete a step, skip it and continue.

Once the proper logs are created, then make a NEW TOPIC and post it ==>HERE<== Please include a description of your computer issues and what you have done to resolve them.

If you can produce at least some of the logs, then please create the new topic and explain what happens when you try to create the log(s) that you couldn't get. If you cannot produce any of the logs, then still post the topic and explain that you followed the Prep. Guide, were unable to create the logs, and describe what happens when you try to create the logs.

Thanks Orange blossom, I started with the GMER logs and got #1 done but as I was doing #2 for what seemed like over an hour, the computer reset itself and the virus was gone???? I guess this is a good thing, everything is acting the way it was before so I guess I don't need to bother with going any further.

Hello,

Go ahead and continue with my prior instructions. The infection may not be completely gone or may resurface, and it's a good idea to make sure it's completely gone. These things can be weird.
