I've been having trouble with Amaena and WinAntiVirus Pro for a week now. Webroot Spysweeper, AVG Anti-Spyware, Ad-aware and Spybot S&D haven't been able to fix it, and VundoFix and Virtumondebegone have not been effective either.

Here is my HijackThis log. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you for the welcome!

Combofix.exe doesn't seem to do anything for me... after the initial screen where I press 1 to continue, it stalls at a screen that says "Welcome to Darwin!" for a very long time.

Please download VundoFix.exe
to your desktop.

  • Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
  • Click the Scan for Vundo button.
  • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
  • You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
  • Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
  • When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
  • Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HijackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above
instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when
VundoFix appears at reboot.

==

I know that you have already run it, but I want to see what the log shows :).

I will do that as soon as I can :) I'm leaving for a holiday for Easter where there will be no internet access, and will only be back on the 13th. Thank you!

After running VundoFix.exe as per your instructions, my entire system seems to have crashed :( Explorer.exe is unable to run, no matter how much I restart my computer. Please help!

Here is the VundoFix log:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

Search for...

ALCMTR.EXE

...using "Start | Search...".

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

All seems good now :) But I have an error message upon starting windows that mxndrslc.dll cannot be found. I was getting it before following the instructions in your latest post so it probably doesn't have anything to do with that, but I'm curious as to how to fix it. Thank you for your help so far!

Let's see if we can't solve the error message.

Go here and download then run Silent Runners.vbs. Right click on the download link and select Save Target As. Save it to the desktop or to a folder in a permanent directory. It generates a log which will be created in the same folder you are running it from. Please post the information back in this thread.
If you have a script blocking program, please allow the file to run. It is not malicious.

Here is the log. Thank you very much!
