Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

Expand Post »
Could someone give me a hand and let me know which of these needs to be fixed? I'm trying everything, but my computer freezes everytime I try to run antivirus software. The problem originally occurred when it froze during an AVG update. AVG needed to be uninstalled to prevent the computer from freezing in regular windows or in safe mode about ten seconds after it booted up. Now it usually only freezes when I try to run or download antivirus programs. Cheers.

Re: Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

Click to Expand / Collapse  Quote originally posted by ironhippo ...
AVG needed to be uninstalled to prevent the computer from freezing in regular windows or in safe mode about ten seconds after it booted up. Now it usually only freezes when I try to run or download antivirus programs.
You've got a few baddies showing there.

-- Looks like you installed Comodo AV. Is it functioning properly?
-- What is this? --> C:\Program Files\ESTsoft\ALYac I've not seen it before.

FIRST:
Look in Add / Remove Programs and Remove/Uninstall the following crapware:
C:\Program Files\RXToolBar
C:\Program Files\SpySpotter3
C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch

THEN:
Please run the steps listed in the linky below and submit the requested scanlogs:

Read me before posting a request for assistance
  • Please post the DSS extra.txt as an attachment to your post using the “Manage Attachments” button (scroll down when composing your post).
  • Hold off on posting the Uninstall List. The DSS extra.txt ought to suffice.


Let us know if you run into any problems with the above steps.
I or one of the other volunteers will be happy to help as time permits. I'm a bit over-extended at the moment, but will try to reply in a timely manner if nobody else jumps in.

Best Luck

Re: Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

thanks for your reply...
the ALYac is a Korean antivirus program which i thought might trick the virus but didn't. I'm not exactly proficient with this kind of stuff and don't really understand what this DSS extra.txt is all about. Here is the current logfile from Hijackthis... any help is really appreciated... thanks!

Re: Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

The DSS is not available at this time so just continue to follow PP's other instructions

Quote ...
FIRST:
Look in Add / Remove Programs and Remove/Uninstall the following crapware:
C:\Program Files\RXToolBar
C:\Program Files\SpySpotter3
C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch
and do as you have done and use HJT.
Your log shows also the Blaster worm. Can you run any Online AV scanners like ESET Online Scanner? If you can try that one and DO allow it to fix what it finds.
He has steps to run HERE and ESET Scanner is one of those steps. Try to follow as many of the steps he gives there as possible, especially the ESET, but go ahead and clean with it and also try the Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware program also. Allow it to clean too.

Re: Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

I've tried doing all the steps but the computer still freezes when i try to run the Anti-Malware program and ESET. The Anti-Malware always begins detecting infected objects when scanning files that begin with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT... and always freezes whiole scanning these files. Like I said I'm not very skilled with this stuff and have no idea what this means. Malware detects up to 16 infected objects before it freezes. Does this help at all?

Re: Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

Are you absolutely certain it is freezing? This scan can take awhile. The files which begin
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT are registry files, these would take awhile to scan, it may not actually be frozen you may not be giving it enough time to scan. A full scan take take more than an hour at times.

Have you run other anti-spy programs like Spybot? If not you might try that first and then Malwarebytes.

Re: Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

Also, I would suggest that you Uninstall ALL of the Anti-virus programs you have installed via Add/Remove Programs and then try to run MBA-M.
If it still hangs, try to run it in Safe Mode.

Let us know how you fare.

--- Re-install only ONE anti-virus program after the MBA-M scan. Looks like you have settled on AVG. That should be a solid choice.

Best Luck

Re: Computer freezes whenever I try to run an anti-virus program

I'm pretty sure that it's freezing, cuz I'm no longer able to move the arrow around with the mouse. It freezes everytime i run an antivirus scan online or not. I'll try spybot etc and get back to you. A few more details:
- If I'm online and using microsoft word or wordperfect it freezes after I've typed a sentence or two but if i turn off the modem i'm able to use these programs without problems.
- the computer freezes if I try to stream audio or video
thanks a lot for your help so far

Sounds like some additional problems likely unrelated to the malware on your machine. We'll try to get you cleaned up and then see if those issues remain.

-- See my previous post (#7) in case you missed it.

Also uninstall that SpySpotter System Defender. It is a VERY questionable program, not recommended.
