I am sure that this could go somewhere else but this is the only page i can get to load. The virus/malware/whatever it is will not go away. I have used everything from hitmanpro,malwarebytes, superantispyware, and about 25 others. The only thing that I haven't tried yet is to boot into linux and try and fix. mostly because I just learned about it earlier today. Also, I have uninstalled everything from my computer and only kept items that I know for 100% are legit programs and games. I have disabled every extension in all of my browsers and reset them to default, then ran cccleaner. I am going to add some pictures and pray to god one of you have run into it before or know how to kill anything that moves. I am able to do a completly fresh install of windows but I would love to avoid it as much as I can. I have all of my custom firmware for my 3d printer, 3d scanner (kinect), and a bunch of other software items that took me forever to find.
its called "enormousales", its an add thingy. I had something similar to this about 4 months ago but it would go away with malwarebytes, ccleaner, and a reset of the browser.
Have you checked your programs? Look for anything with "conduit" or some other corny name. Next, check all browsers, not just what you normally use and make sure nothing is on those either.
So the only folders in there that I didn't know what there were are DIFX, sh4ldr, and a dfu.log. I had spyhunter 4 and I ran the scan it found a bunch of stuff but my license has run out. I'm thinking of re-buying it and if that doesn't work call them to get my money back. Still searching through everything.
Download Combofix from bleepingcomputer.com. They also have a few other tools (AdWare Cleaner and Junkware Removal tool) that work really well. I tend to reboot into safemode with command prompt when fighting windows virus infections. That way they don't' have the chance to run as it doesn't start the explorer shell. You'll have to be comfortable using the command prompt though...
Roguekiller is the program that I would use for this. Try that program. It should pick it up really quickly. After that, try the others that were mentioned in teh comment above.
first combofix will not work. I forgot to mention I am running windows 8.1 and it is currently not supported. rogue killer is running right now. This is only happening in chrome. IE, which I never use except for DoD stuff, seems to not be infected with it. yet...
He could also run a boot scan, if the software supports that, so it scans before Windows boots up. The other thing he could do, if he has a spare drive lying around, is install his OS on there and run all the antivirus and antimalware scans on the infected drive from there. As your main drive will now be "dumb" and inactive you should be able to remove the interloper with the scanners. Some scanners have a portable version you can run from a thumb drive without booting into Windows, but I know SuperAntiSpyware no longer supports theirs.
ok so I just got done done doing a lot of things. It appears to be gone. I used spyhunter 4 (even though i cant fix anything with it) when it found things it told me the location of them. Hunted all of those down and deleted them one by one. After that I search my C: drive for anything google or chrome related and deleted it (after uninstalling chrome). Then ran all of the scans over again. After that I restarted a dozen times to make sure that it wasn't coming back, scanning every time. Re-installed chrome and everything seems to be good again.
As a precaution, I am not logging into chrome for a few weeks to see if it comes back. If it doesn't i'll log back in. The reason I am doing this is to see if it is related to some extensions that are saved by my e-mail on google somewhere on their end. if it comes back then i'll know.
thanks for all the help and support. You guys always rock!
Just on the off chance that you guys are still reading this. is there a post you can point me towards to help me create my backup server? I have an AMD 8350 setup with 2 3TB and a 250 gb SSD (boot) drives that I want as a media server/ backup for local computers. Thanks in advance!
P.S. I hate using the search function. I'll be here for years trying to find one...
Spend the money and buy Bitdefender (even though their Linux Rescue mode hangs) because it works. I had a test system and ran several titles against it 1 month free at a time with each. The ONLY one that cleaned everything and stayed up 100% was Bitdefender, and this was IN Windows by the way, and not in Rescue Mode, or any sort of special mode. Ditch Kapersky, and all that other garbage for the house and just stick with something that works. Sure running something else helps as well, but at the very least use Bitdefender.
I usually use a 'live vershon' of linux and scan the drive from linux to fix infections like this as executable viruses can not run or protect themselves in a linux environment.
