Juliet Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Also for some reason when I plugged in my ext hard drive it didnt show. I kept clicking COMPUTER to see all the drives. The drive is only a couple years old I think and is a Seagate, so its good quality. Is there some command I can give to make my drive show up on screen so I can then check it out?Here I am not sure what is happening, would think you could find it and assign a drive number/letter while in device manager but I have no experience with this. It could be an issue with autorun http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/216706-autoplay-enable-disable.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144204(v=vs.85).aspx After I can get the computer clean I'll send you over to our User to User forum and let the tech guys help you there.

crossword Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi, I finally discovered why, when I plugged in my ext hard drive it didn’t show. I was plugging it into the USB ports in front of my desktop tower. They used to work. Now they don’t seem to work for the HD [though the comp is only a year old and I hardly used these ports], so I plugged into the back. I had saved CCleaner on my ext hard drive too. Can you please write me some code that I can use along with the code you already wrote so I can be sure any malware is deleted from my ext HD too? But I suppose for that you will need to know the exact path of it on HDD and I don’t know how to get that. what do I run for that? earlier I ran ESET but that was a one time thing I was allowed, so I can't run it again to check the HD. I will run the other programs you told me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I uninstall it, ESET will allow me to run another online scan even though they specified that the online scan was a ONE time thing only?

crossword Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 yes i did post teh RogueKiller log above too. it seemed to be clean, but now i'm worried cos i know i had saved CCleaner on my ext HDD and that didnt undergo the ESET scan since at that time i had it plugged in the front of teh case. so how do i now scan the ext HDD to get rid of anything? and also, why did some malware attach to CCleaner? is it not safe to download and use? did teh download maybe come attached with malware? if so is there some safer cleaner i can use?

crossword Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Computer seems to be working ok. But now as I said before i'm worried cos i know i had saved CCleaner on my ext HDD and that didnt undergo the ESET scan since at that time i had it plugged in the front of teh case and it didn’t show up. Sounds like now my computer is clean? But I fear not my ext HDD. Apart from CCleaner it may have other malware. so how do i now scan the ext HDD to get rid of anything? Do tools like FARBAR, AdwareRemoval, Malware Bytes also scan the ext HDD? If so should I run them all? Did RogueKiller scan it? I did have the HDD plugged in when I ran it.

crossword Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ok. Should I run BOTH mcshield and Emisoft or will one or the other do? Which is the best FREE scanner that I can download to my comp and use regularly? Emisoft seems to be for malware, so I assume its not really an anti virus. I had googled days ago and studied a couple of discussions that compared various AVs and anti malware tools. Everyone has their own opinion but some agreed ESEt gave too many false positives and so did some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliet Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) You can run BOTH mcshield and Emisoft. McShield is specific for scanning USB devices (make sure it's plugged in), Emisoft is for and malware(free) acts as an additional on-demand scanner, and can be used in conjunction with your Anti-Virus as is Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. It is advised to use 1 antimalware scanner with 1 Antivirus, running more then that on your computer would present multiple issues. avast! Free Anti-Virus (free) Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials (free) ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus (paid) Kaspersky Anti-Virus (paid) Emsisoft Internet Security (paid) As for which free versus paid for Antivirus I have to leave this up to you but, I've always stayed with a free version, that use less resources and consumes less time in updating. This is my personal opinion and also with free versions of Antivirus, firewall is not included. Edited November 9, 2014 by Juliet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossword Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Since I already have Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, can I use that instead of Emisoft to scan my HDd for malware? "It is advised to use 1 antimalware scanner with 1 Antivirus, running more then that on your computer would present multiple issues." Yes I read that but also read that you can store various on demand malware scanners in your comp as long as you have only one Av [and maybe one malware scanner?] running in real time. This time I ran various things like: Farbar RKill RogueKiller ComboFix Can I run all these every month or so when I clean my comp and check for viruses and malware? Or should I stick to any Av like Avast and then Malwarebytes and trust these 2 to keep the comp safe? You warned me not to delete anything RogueKiller showed. Would it have harmed my computer if I had just deleted everthing it showed as suspicious? Do I always have to run it by a malware expert before I delete anything RogueKiller shows?

Juliet Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Since I already have Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, can I use that instead of Emisoft to scan my HDd for malware?Yes Some like to run the different malware scanners to see if one can pick up on what the other might not have found. Will not hurt to run both but you do not want either set to auto-updates. This is usually applied when you buy the Pro versions. This time I ran various things like: Farbar RKill RogueKiller ComboFix Can I run all these every month or so when I clean my comp and check for viruses and malware? No. These tools post findings good or bad and if your not trained to spot the difference between the two you'll possibly delete or quarantine something that should not be tampered with. These tools or very few do not have auto-update so you wouldn't have an up to date version which can cause issues and myself would not want anything done on my computer that I was unsure of. And, if one threw out an error without having access to the developers forum you would have no idea what to do. Thats why they can also be called dangerous in the hands of the untrained. Or should I stick to any Av like Avast and then Malwarebytes and trust these 2 to keep the comp safe?These 2 tools are good used together and I can also supply a list of other tools that when on the computer also help protect against infection. Will be post in my closing Prevention Tips. You warned me not to delete anything RogueKiller showed. Would it have harmed my computer if I had just deleted everthing it showed as suspicious? Do I always have to run it by a malware expert before I delete anything RogueKiller shows?Many of the items found were ok. RogueKiller checks specific areas of a computer malware likes to hide in and it will post/show us but it's not always infected. If those areas are infected it would show the malicious file extensions too. If a computer is having internet connection problems and clicking to remove items detailing IP addresses can prevent the machine from connecting back. By clicking on remove mainly resets to default but, it's not a necessary action. Please don't attempt to doing any of this by yourself. I strongly recommend against it. Are we ready to remove tools and quarantine folders and me post preventive tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield: :folderfind skype :filefind skype :regfind skype Click the Look button to start the scan. When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt About quickheal They use some sort of "blocklist" with filenames in it in order to prevent the creation of it. (as some sort of pro-active defense) So during a malwarebytes scan, enumerating the rules probably triggers some sort of action in Quickheal (some sort of lock/access denied), so mbam acts upon that and treats /sees this as the file being present. When Quickheal see MBAM scanning these errors it denies MBAM access, then throws out the alert it has acted as Skype.dat Download EmsisoftEmergencyKit, run the exe and extract the content in a folder of your choice like (C:\EEK) by clicking the Extract button.
