BleepingComputer.com: Rogue Anti-Spyware and Rootkit remnants

I was using Firefox yesterday morning when the problem first occurred. Firefox closed automatically and a message came up warning that the computer had suffered a hard drive failure. I've had a hard drive failure before, and I could tell that this was a phony report. Malwarebytes wouldn't open, and Task Manager was blocked, but I was able to start SuperAntiSpyware and do a scan. It reported a few instances malware, including the blocked Task Manager.

I rebooted as told, but when Windows started, all of my desktop icons were missing, and the Start menu icons were gone too. I got the same phony hard drive failure message (something about scanning the HDD for problems before using this computer), and about 20 other message windows saying "failure to write." The hard drive warning screen said this:

"Windows detected a hard disk problem
A potential disk failure may cause loss of files, application and documents stored on the hard disk. It's highly recommended to scan and solve HDD problems before continue [sic] using this PC."

I was able to load Malwarebytes' and TDSS Killer from a flash drive, and the system seems to be back to normal. However, all of the icons remain hidden (I've changed the settings to that I can see hidden files and folders). At this point, I would like to make sure that everything is clean on this PC.

***************************************************

We need to see some information about what is happening in your machine. Please perform the following scan again:

• Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links if you no longer have it available. Save it to your desktop.
  • DDS.scr
    
  • DDS.pif
  
  
• Double click on the DDS icon, allow it to run.
  
• A small box will open, with an explanation about the tool. No input is needed, the scan is running.
  
• Notepad will open with the results.
  
• Follow the instructions that pop up for posting the results.
  
• Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.

Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet.

Information on A/V control HERE


We also need a new log from the GMER anti-rootkit Scanner.

Please note that if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows you will not be able to run GMER and you may skip this step.

Please first disable any CD emulation programs using the steps found in this topic:


Then create another GMER log and post it as an attachment to the reply where you post your new DDS log. Instructions on how to properly create a GMER log can be found here:
