1) Odd spikes in CPU usage when my browser is open
2) I can't open some simple web pages that I go to on a regular basis, but new web pages load right away. I've tried disabling NoScript and AdBlock add-ons in Firefox with no change, so I cleared history, cache etc. manually as well as running that portion of System Suite, helps for about 5 minutes, then right back to the problem. ***EDIT*** After still using my computer to get online this whole time, because it's the ONLY PC that goes online in my household, I have noticed that on some websites, if I turn NoScript off it actually ends up making things worse, the page actually NEVER loading and NEVER saying 'try again' just sitting there trying to load with nothing happening, but if I turn it back on sometimes it helps to make the page load, or at least tell me 'try again'. I don't know if that is at all pertinent. ***EDIT***
3) My internet connection looks like it's in idle mode 90% of the time even, even while attempting to load a common web page, although if I decide to open a web page that I don't normally go to, it snaps right back to life to load the page almost faster than it should.
4) Firefox has been blocking redirects when at Google and Facebook, never allowing them until the mouse slipped the other day, they stopped redirecting for a few hours, and now it's a crap shute wheather or not there will an attempt at redirecting the page, but it's never successful, because Firefox doesn't allow.
5) Computer has been acting all around sluggish when trying to open things like Process Explorer, or System Suite, or even just the settings to System Suite and it's Firewall. While every now and then, maybe once out of 5 startups, MXTask (System Suite's background task) will error out right from the start up of the computer and I get a message that says: "MXTask has encountered a problem and needs to quit. Would you like to send an error report to Microsoft?" to which I click either yes or no and either way the reporting errors out too.
6) A strange folder called YTDSETUP, with the file trafficspace.exe showed up in my Program files, I didn't see either in Add/Remove Programs so I deleted the folder.
7) My brand new install of System Suite Professional 12 errored out after finding Trojan.clicker.html.remotescript, and the file dissapeared, after running scan again, this time finishing, SS found and quarantined a trojan simply called 'A0008315' inside D:\System Volume Information\_restore{157219FE-5843-4129-BB48-54E732573546}\RP19\A0008315.exe the D drive is my secondary Hard drive where I keep my important files instead of on C in My Documents, but it did not find the same file as the first scan.
8) Just to see what SS couldn't get before it quit working, I broke out MalwareBytes, updated, and ran a quick scan to see what's up, where it found this file:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\UpdatesDisableNotify (PUM.Disabled.SecurityCenter) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
I did a full scan next and found these infected files:
c:\system volume information\_restore{157219fe-5843-4129-bb48-54e732573546}\RP18\A0007991.exe (PUP.Zugo) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
c:\system volume information\_restore{157219fe-5843-4129-bb48-54e732573546}\RP18\A0007992.exe (PUP.Zugo) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
c:\system volume information\_restore{157219fe-5843-4129-bb48-54e732573546}\RP19\A0008219.exe (PUP.Zugo) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
c:\system volume information\_restore{157219fe-5843-4129-bb48-54e732573546}\RP19\A0008221.exe (PUP.Zugo) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
9) I also ran MiniToolBox, because I was having connection issues, it didn't help because obviously I didn't know what I was doing with it, just simply doing what someone had told someone else to do with it, though I did save the log file. I ran TDSSKILLER with all four peramiters selected, and found:
AegisP ( UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic ) - skipped by user
macnr ( UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic ) - skipped by user
Tcpip ( UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic ) - skipped by user
I didn't actually do anything about these results, just found out what I could and left it be, because I am not familiar with the program. The scans weren't done in safe mode and I plan on running them all again in whatever order is correct to make the actual changes.
I should mention, I am very careful about what I download, only taking recommendation from someone I know very well, and even then they have to show me exactly why it's worth my while to risk downloading and running an executable file that I have never personally heard of before. The only questionable file I have downloaded since the reinstall was a program called "SIW - System Information for Windows" which I was only looking into because with such an ancient computer, it's difficult to find all the drivers that I need to reinstall, and I completely forgot to back them up before taking the plunge. So a site that had never steered me wrong in the past when it came to good quality freeware programs to keep your computer going, recommended it to scan your computer and find out what exactly everything was right down to make and model
Pasted below is the dds.txt file the guide instructed to be pasted in the post and attached are attach.txt from DDS and GMER.log by GMER, hope they help, although I am slightly concerned something might get missed if we continue to not scan my second drive as I use that for all my personal files and would hate to lose them to an unknown corruption.
Thanks in advance,
Mary
