Problem.
Even when I went into SAFEMODE, which wouldn't load right to begin with, I couldn't delete index.net. So I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy and used it's " Secure Shredder, just to delete index.net. I shredded index.net 10 times and as soon as I reopen the cookies folder it is right back in there . Thats one persistant file !
Now what ? Is it supposed to just reload as some type of "system" file or could it be a virus ?

Also, I tried to use HijackThis to remove the programs you listed above. They were nowhere on my computer so I tried to delete the entries in HijackThis and HijackThis can't dlete them. I selected to " DELETE THIS ENTRY" but they won't disapear. Any suggestions ?
I'm sorry that nothing seems to be working on my end !

Look, this is totally ridiculous. You now have done two things I didn't request, download another program and install it and run it and also used HiJackthis, incorrectly, to do a fix that I did not tell you to do.

I am telling you right now ONCE, if you keep taking steps that I don't tell you to do then I am out of here. You can go elsewhere for help or take this computer to a shop and pay to have it fixed.
This computer is supposed to be OFFLINE, no programs should be installed on it unless I tell you to do so.

As I try to delete the file " index.dat", it won't let me. There is a warning/popup that keeps saying....
The action can't be completed because the file is open in another program
Close the file and try again.
Leave it alone. It is NOT a virus.

Now did you uninstall combofix as I told you to do?

Sorry. The only place that those programs showed up was in HijackThis so I tried to use that to delete them as you requested. I didn't go ONLINE to download Spybot, because I have it on a flash drive. I'm not plugging the internet cable in until you tell me too !
Thank you for working with me ! Just let me know if ya want me to uninstall Spybot.
Please bare with me thru this, thanks.
And, before you told me how to uninstall Combo fix, I had deleted it. When I tried to do as you requested, it didn't work. It wasn't in my Recycle Bin because we ran Ccleaner and that removed everything, I'm sorry.
Whats next ?

happy thanksgiving judy !!!

The only place that those programs showed up was in HijackThis so I tried to use that to delete them as you requested.

Which programs exactly?

These are the programs that ONLY showed up in the HijackThis list of installed programs. The 3 "green colored" programs were actually in my Uninstall list on the computer and have been uninstalled.

Thanks for the reply. From what I have found the Authentium AntiVirus program is often installed when users install software from their ISP and I have also found that it could be that the RPS Antivirus (and RPS stands for RadialPoint Software) is really Authentium and therefore may be why you couldn't find it anywhere after you removed the Authentium.
So I would say on that let's assume that it is gone. If we find it later we will deal with it. But here is your next step. Read everything VERY carefully, follow each and every step EXACTLY
I want you to run Combofix. You are going to have to download the file to your flash drive and take it to the infected computer. It must be put ON TO the infected computer, it cannot run from the flash drive and you must put in ON the desktop

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/combofix

Please note that the BleepingComputer.com download link will expire in 10 minutes after you click it so if you don’t click within ten minutes after reaching the page you will need to refresh the page.

• You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
• Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
• Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts, though you can ignore the part of instructions about creating a restore partition because this involves using the internet so just say no when it wants to do this. You may receive some sort of warning about not doing this but just say no and continue.
• When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
• Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


Run Combofix ONCE only!!

I will do all this when I get home this evening, thanks !

Good enough! Enjoy your turkey dinner!

I got a warning as Combo Fix began scanning that said......
WARNING !! THE MASTER BOOT RECORD IS INFECTED !! MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS ARE DISABLED BEFORE CLICKING "OK"
I don't even have any antivirus programs on this computer......proceed ?

No, you need to wait. I will have somebody else look at this too. Just turn off the computer and keep checking back on the other one. Not sure when somebody else can take a look since it's a holiday but we WILL get back with you ASAP.

Ok, I just left it with the warning poped up and now I will just turn it off. Thanks and I will wait for your next reply.

Download MBRCheck to your desktop

Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (Vista and Windows 7 users, right click and select Run as Administrator).
It will show a black screen with some data on it.
A report called MBRcheckxxxx.txt will be on your desktop
Open this report and post its content in your next reply.

There is no excuse for not installing an anti-virus program. There are many free ones out there, so I suggest you get yourself one.
If you choose not to do so, then you may find that we will choose not to help. Why?
Because why should we waste our time cleaning a PC that is only going to get infected the minute we have finished?

Crunchie, computer has no av program on it because poster was running parts of three av programs. I had him disconnect the computer and uninstall all av programs. He is running these programs via flash drive with the infected computer disconnected from the internet. I told him to do this since he was having so many problems. Told him I would tell him when to connect, which would be after an av program would be installed via the flash drive.

I take it back then :). Too many pages here to read through. My bad.

WOW.......chewed out twice in one day......LOL

I am sure that Crunchie is going to take a look at this log to make sure all was done as it was supposed to, but I have a question, earlier you said this;
I have tried to get completely rid of the AT&T Internet Security so that I could use Avast.
yet it clearly shows in both Combofix logs
AV: AT&T Internet Security Suite AT&T Anti-Virus *On-access scanning disabled* (Updated) {5B5A3BD7-8573-4672-AEA8-C9BB713B6755}
FW: AT&T Internet Security Suite AT&T Firewall *disabled* {80593BF4-D969-4EC5-ADAE-A22F2DFC7A22}
SP: AT&T Internet Security Suite AT&T Anti-Spyware *disabled* (Updated) {307352C6-1CBD-11DB-8AF6-B622A1EF5492}

but it DOES NOT show in your Uninstall list. Exactly HOW did you try to "get rid" of the AT&T Security Suite because it obviously is not gone.
Also showing in the Combofix logs is
Windows Defender *enabled* (Updated) {D68DDC3A-831F-4FAE-9E44-DA132C1ACF46} but it shows nowhere in any other log or list. Where is it? Did you know that you had it on the system?

If memory serves me right, I went into the computers Uninstall program to uninstall AT&T. But it seems to be parts of it still on the computer and I want to get rid of all of it so I can use just 1 Antispyware program.....Avast. It seems that there were quite a few things that showed up in HijackThis that weren't actually on the computer as fully functioning programs also.
When I first got Avast installed, I turned Windows Defender off in "Services. I wasn't sure if I should delete it or just turn it off ?
Today, after running Combo Fix the last time , I tried to go into the Control Panel, but when I try, a warnning pop's up that says......
EXPLORER.EXE
ILLEGAL OPERATION ATTEMPTED ON A REGISTRY KEY THAT HAS BEEN MARKED FOR DELETION.
So now, I can't get into the Control Panel.
What should I do ?

Have you rebooted the computer since the run and why do you want to go into the Control Panel?

Did you follow Crunchie's instructions exactly?
STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
This WOULD include Windows Defender.

Did you drag the script onto the top of Combofix?

I followed Crunchies instructions exactly.
I shut Windows Defender off a week ago. If it's on, then I don't know how ? Can I just delete it ? Do I even need it ?
I rebooted the computer and I can now get into the Control Panel. The reason I tried to get into the Control Panel was to get the EXACT name of the folder that containes all the programs that can be uninstalled on a computer. It has changed since Windows XP( add or remove programs), to (Programs and features) in Windows Vista. Thats all I was doing.

Wow, I didn't know that those "boots" that are being advertised from Lucyye would help get this computer fixed ?

:D:icon_lol:
you and I will be the only two who know what you are talking about because I deleted that spam post...but your comment, Tumbleweedracef, is hilarious! Glad to see that even with all this you still have a sense of humor.
Maybe those are what is really meant when somebody tells you to "reboot" the computer:icon_lol:

I see or saw that you have Revo Uninstaller on the computer. Use it to look for and remove that AT&T stuff and also have it look for Authentium and RPS. Have it remove all of those it finds.

LOL....I have thought about a " boot" to the computer !
Do I need Windows Defender ? Will it conflict with Avast ?
Whats next ?

Revo shows no evedence of AT&T, Authentium or RPS.
