The requested resource is in use..

Hello.

I've ran into a similar problem myself as another thread that is opened with a similar name. Would love to get some help on how to fix this stupid pop up for my security programs and a few others.

Hello! Welcome to BleepingComputer Forums!
My name is Georgi and and I will be helping you with your computer problems.

Before we begin, please note the following:

• I will working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
• The logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me.
• Stay with the topic until I tell you that your system is clean. Missing symptoms does not mean that everything is okay.
• Instructions that I give are for your system only!
• Please do not run any tools until requested ! The reason for this is so I know what is going on with the machine at any time. Some programs can interfere with others and hamper the recovery process.
• Please perform all steps in the order received. If you can't understand something don't hesitate to ask.
• Again I would like to remind you to make no further changes to your computer unless I direct you to do so. I will not help you if you do not follow my instructions.

Please download the latest version of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Make sure that Additional.txt is checked.
• Press Scan button.
• It will make 2 logs (FRST.txt and Addition.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste them to your reply.

Regards,

Georgi

Thank you for the quick response. Here's the two .txt files from Farbar.

Hello,

Thank you for the logs but I'll reply tomorrow (since we have different timezone)

Its 1.30am here and need some sleep.

Georgi

Hi,

Probably this is the source of the infection:

C:\Users\Scott\Downloads\Full-Game-Crack.zip

Please download the following file =>  fixlist.txt   4.14KB   8 downloads and save it to the Desktop.

NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST64.exe and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Restart the computer in Safe Mode. See here how to do this

Run FRST64.exe and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please restart your computer in Normal Mode and post back the log file in your next reply.

This script was written specifically for you, for use on that particular machine.

Let me know how are things after the fix above.

Regards,

Georgi

Thank you for the response again.

I accidentally ran it in normal mode and then realized you said to do so in safe mode. Here's the first fixlog.txt which I labeled with (normal).

 Fixlog(Normal).txt   13.94KB   2 downloads

Then I went into safe mode and ran and got this.

 Fixlog.txt   11.06KB   2 downloads

After it was complete I went back to normal mode and tried my Malware Bytes and it finally launched on it's own! I can finally reinstall Kaspersky and my other programs that had stopped working.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,

I am glad we nailed it down.

 
Here are the last set of steps just to make sure nothing is lurking in the dark corners.


STEP 1
 
 
Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to your desktop.

• Double-click mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:
  • Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
  • A 14 day trial of the Premium features is pre-selected. You may deselect this if you wish, and it will not diminish the scanning and removal capabilities of the program.
• Click Finish.
• On the Dashboard, click the 'Update Now >>' link
• After the update completes, click the 'Scan Now >>' button.
• Or, on the Dashboard, click the Scan Now >> button.
• If an update is available, click the Update Now button.
• A Threat Scan will begin.
• When the scan is complete, if there have been detections, click Apply Actions to allow MBAM to clean what was detected.
• In most cases, a restart will be required.
• Wait for the prompt to restart the computer to appear, then click on Yes.

How to get logs: (Export log to save as txt)

• After the restart once you are back at your desktop, open MBAM once more.
• Click on the History tab > Application Logs.
• Double click on the scan log which shows the Date and time of the scan just performed.
• Click 'Export'.
• Click 'Text file (*.txt)'
• In the Save File dialog box which appears, click on Desktop.
• In the File name: box type a name for your scan log.
• A message box named 'File Saved' should appear stating "Your file has been successfully exported".
• Click Ok
• Attach that saved log to your next reply.

(Copy to clipboard for pasting into forum replies or tickets)

• After the restart once you are back at your desktop, open MBAM once more.
• Click on the History tab > Application Logs.
• Double click on the scan log which shows the Date and time of the scan just performed.
• Click 'Copy to Clipboard'

STEP 2

 
1.Please download HitmanPro.

• For 32-bit Operating System - Download
• For 64-bit Operating System - Download

2.Launch the program by double clicking on the HitmanPro icon. (Windows Vista/7 users right click on the HitmanPro icon and select run as administrator).

Note: If the program won't run please then open the program while holding down the left CTRL key until the program is loaded.

3.Click on the next button. You must agree with the terms of EULA. (if asked)

4.Check the box beside "No, I only want to perform a one-time scan to check this computer".

5.Click on the next button.

6.The program will start to scan the computer. The scan will typically take no more than 5 minutes.

7.When the scan is done click on drop-down menu of the found entries (if any) and choose - Apply to all => Ignore <= IMPORTANT!!!
 

 
8.Click on the next button.

9.Click on the "Save Log" button.

10.Save that file to your desktop and post the content of that file in your next reply.
 
Note: if there isn't a dropdown menu when the scan is done then please don't delete anything and close HitmanPro

Navigate to C:\ProgramData\HitmanPro\Logs open the report and copy and paste it to your next reply.
 

STEP 3
 

• Download EmsisoftEmergencyKit, run the exe and extract the content in a folder of your choice like (C:\EEK) by clicking the Extract button.
• Double-click the desktop-shortcut called Start Emsisoft Emergency Kit to start the tool.
• Click on the "Yes" button when asked to obtain the latest malware definitions.
• Once the update is complete click "Scan".
• Click on the "Yes" button when asked to enable the scan for Potentially Unwanted Applications.
• Next click on the Custom Scan and select only drive C:\ to be scanned and remove the rest of the drives from the list. When the scan complete, click on the View Report button (don't delete or quarantine anything).
• Please attach the content of the report in your next reply.

STEP 4
 

Also let's check for outdated and vulnerable software on your pc
 
 
Download Security Check by screen317 from 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 called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

and then if there aren't any issues left I'll give you my final recommendations. ;)

Hi,

EmsiSoft - I'll link this once it'd done. It's taking quite a while.

Ok, I'll wait for it before we proceed further.

Georgi

Hi,

It's been several days. Do you still need help on this?

Regards,

Georgi

Hi,

Oups...I noticed that you attached the log from Emsisoft in your previous reply.

Regarding the log we need to delete only a few registry leftovers from PUP applications and nothing really serious which is a good sign.

Please download the following file =>  fixlist.txt   6.48KB   2 downloads and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Run FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.

This script was written specifically for you, for use on that particular machine.

Let me know how are things going after the fix.

Regards,

Georgi
