Clear the points as shown:
  • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
  • Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
  • Then go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
  • Click "OK".
  • Click the "More Options" Tab.
  • Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.


Please use the Combofix uninstaller to make sure the program has completely gone.

I can see now that the patch and the problem is quite old. Carry out the above and let me look into it a bit more.
If I have helped you fix your PC then please donate. Thanks

Dear Helper,

I have tried the steps you suggested me .

1) still the Folder "QoooBox" is not able to remove, I have to try to remove it from Safe Mode.

2) I have asked Microsoft Expert and he suggested me to run one scanner which has detected one of Game on my Desktop as Infection, so it's log is here below :
<File_Information>
<Path>c:\documents and settings\jatin_soni\desktop\suzuki\suzuki.exe</Path>
<FileVersion>1, 0, 0, 1</FileVersion>
<ProductVersion>1, 0, 0, 1</ProductVersion>
<ProductName>Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing</ProductName>
<Company>Criterion Studios</Company>
<Copyrights>Copyright © 1999</Copyrights>
<MD5>0DCDAD47FFBA2A6301F4C29683F037E1</MD5>
<SHA256>429A792825B6AC731E2222CD6DDCAA7136C5C8AE906FFD056E285C36A88DC75B</SHA256>
<FileSize>1183744</FileSize>
</File_Information>
- <SideEffects Count="2">
<File>C:\Documents and Settings\Jatin_soni\Desktop\suzuki\suzuki.EXE</File>
<File>C:\Documents and Settings\Jatin_soni\Desktop\Shortcut to suzuki.EXE.lnk</File>

3)Again it "Network Virus Blocked" comes but I am confuse that It is trying to connect my PC with their any infection or it trying only to attack me when we found my PC is safe.

4) for making Faster PC, I know till I have done following steps, so can u say me something more so I can have safe and faster PC :
DEL /F /S /Q %TEMP%

DEL /F /S /Q "C:\WINDOWS\Temp"

DEL /F /S /Q "C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch"

Disk Clean Up ALL DRIVES

My Computer --> Properties --> Advance --> Performance --> Setting --> Virtual Memory --> Set higher Difference for giving Virtual RAM .

Anything more ??

You can remove the Qoobox folder with Unlocker

Download and install Unlocker

Navigate to the file/folder you need to remove

Then right click and select Unlocker. If this deletes it then you are done. If it is locked then a list will apppear. Just click Unlock All.


Check the Suzuki file at Jotti.

Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows

Go to Jotti

When the jotti page has finished loading, click the Browse button and navigate to the following file and click Submit.

c:\documents and settings\jatin_soni\desktop\suzuki\suzuki.exe

Please post back the results of the scan in your next post.

If Jotti is busy, try the same at VirusTotal

I think it is trying to attack you from an external source. The solution that I found was to turn off the pop-up notifier, which seems a bit ridiculous. Let's work on the assumption that suzuki is infected for now.

I can give you a large amount of information regarding security at the end of the fix.

You're clean. Good stuff! :thumbup2:

Let's do some clearing up

If you used DeFogger now is the time to enable your CD emulation software again.

Uninstall ComboFix

Remove Combofix now that we're done with it.
  • Please press the Windows Key and R on your keyboard. This will bring up the Run... command.
    (For Vista/Windows 7 please click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Run)
  • Now type in Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. (Notice the space between "Combofix" and "/")
  • Please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
  • You will then receive a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully once it's done uninstalling itself.
This will uninstall Combofix and anything associated with it.


We Need to Clean Up our Mess
Download and Run OTC

We will now remove the tools we used during this fix using OTC.

  • Download OTC by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.
  • Double click Posted Image icon to start the program. If you are using Vista, please right-click and choose run as administrator
  • Then Click the big Posted Image button.
  • You will get a prompt saying "Being Cleanup Process". Please select Yes.
  • Restart your computer when prompted.

If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's some advice on how you can keep your PC clean


Use and update your AntiVirus Software

You must have a good antivirus. There are plenty to choose from but I personally recommend the free options of Avast and Avira Antivir. If you want to purchase a security program then I recommend any of the following: AVG, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky and ESET Nod32.

It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. If you use a commercial antivirus program you must make sure you keep renewing your subscription. Otherwise, once your subscription runs out, you may not be able to update the programs virus definitions.


Make sure your applications have all of their updates

Use this next program to check for updates for programs already on your system. Download Security Check by screen317 from here or here.

  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
  • A Notepad document should open automatically, make sure that updates on any that are flagged are carried out as soon as possible


It is also possible for other programs on your computer to have security vulnerability that can allow malware to infect you. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications that are regularly patched to fix vulnerabilities. You can check these by visiting Secunia Software Inspector and Calendar of Updates.


Install an AntiSpyware Program

A highly recommended AntiSpyware program is SuperAntiSpyware. You can download the free Home Version. or the Pro version for a 15 day trial period.

Installing this or another recommended program will provide spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should scan your computer with an AntiSpyware program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.


Finally, here's a treasure trove of antivirus, antimalware and antispyware resources

You might be interested to know that Bleeping Computer, and several other like-minded forums all run a training program to learn about malware and how to remove it. Take a look at the link here from UNITE, of which I am a member.

That's it, Jatin. Happy surfing!

Cheers.
