Hi,
I acquired the ThinkPoint malware this afternoon and managed to get rid of it following some timely Malwarebytes application, however I have a few residue issues, which may or may not be problems, I just need someone who really knows what they are doing to look at them!
I'm left with the following problems:
1. Google Chrome now won't open.
2. My system appears to be running slowly (although I may now be paranoid).
3. I can't perform a system restore to before the infection as "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\hdobot.sys" forces it to "fail".
4. Sophos Anti-Rootkit suggests that "hdobot.sys" is a hidden file, but cannot remove it.
5. I have a feeling that some other stuff has got scrabbled along the way.
I'm desperate for any help, I've watched the great work this forum has performed in the past and hope for some this time!
My system is:
Dell V13 laptop running Windows 7 home premium build (32bit).
Thanks
Jim
