Rootkit Removal

I have exchanged a few posts with extremeboy regarding my inability to access update pages for Windows, MBAM, SB S&D, AVG8, etc. Ran gmer and MBAM, posted the logs and was advised to bring up my issue here as I am dealing with a Rootkit (I wasn't very worried before, but now I'm getting a little anxious).

I've read the 'Read this topic' and can not get dds.scr to function. It displays as an AutoCAD script (ACAD is installed and used heavily on my machine) and when double clicked opens to notepad showing wingdings with some legible english text (not posting that unless asked - there's a lot) no program launched.

I've got nothing but good things to say so far in my experience with BC so far.
In desperate need of solving this issue, please help.

I'm moving this post back to the AII forum for additional help in getting DDS to work.

One has to post a log in the HJT Forum or you are wasting everyone's time.

Hello istbar,
If you cannot get DDS to work, please try this instead.

Please download RSIT by random/random and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You will need to run this tool while connected to the Internet so it can download HijackThis if it is not located on your system. If you get a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding Rist attempting to contact the Internet, please allow the connection.

• Close all applications and windows so that you have nothing open and are at your Desktop.
• Double-click on RSIT.exe to start the program.
• If using Windows Vista, be sure to Run As Administrator.
• Click Continue after reading the disclaimer screen.
• Leave the drop down box set to default: "List/folders created or modified in the last 1 month (30 days).
• When the scan is complete, a text file named log.txt will automatically open in Notepad.
• Save the log file to your desktop and copy/paste the contents into a new topic in the HijackThis Logs and Malware Removal forum, NOT here.

Important: Be sure to mention that you tried to follow the Prep Guide but were unable to get DDS to run.
If RSIT did not work, then reply back here.

Hello.

@boopme
It seems we are posting 2 advice to istbar: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/201127/suspected-malwarevirus/

Try what boopme suggested and also see if dds.com/dds.pif works or not. Either logs will work so reply back telling if any of them works or not.

With Regards,
Extremeboy
