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.

My wife's computer just got a virus - Windows 7 Recovery. It hid all the files (I was able Unhide the files) But it keeps coming back with Harddrive failure and Critical Ram useage, and Ram memory Failure. If I reboot it the Hidden files are reset back.

I have ran Defogger.exe, dds.scr and RKUnhooker.exe trying to repair this issue. Any other suggestions I should run to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi sbaugh,

:welcome: to BleepingComputer. My name is Jason and I'll be helping you. You can call me by my screename jntkwx, or Jason is fine.

Try following all of the steps listed here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-windows-7-recovery

Hopefully, you will be virus-free after following all of those steps. If however you run into problems with any of the steps in that guide, 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.
Regards,
Jason
