Re: Trojan.patchep!sys will not go away

I had used the removal tool, gone to control panel to see if there were any parts there, and then did a windows search before I downloaded Norton as I wanted to be sure nothing would interfere with Norton. I have had programs that said they removed themselves but still had folders left behind and wanted to be sure that hadn't happen with AVG, that's why I did all three before downloading anything else.

OK,  Run Combofix then, it may be the Windows Security Center mis reporting

Re: Trojan.patchep!sys will not go away

Delete your desktop copy of Combofix and follow below, meaning downloading a fresh copy.

 

Please read carefully Read all of this message first

 

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


  • Ensure that Combofix is saved directly to the Desktop <--- Very important  (Not in the download(s) or Temp folders)

  • Disable all security programs as they will have a negative effect on Combofix, Disabled for say 1 hour or more.
  • Close any open browsers and any other programs you might have running

Doiwnload the attached CFscript.txt, , For some browsers Right Click the attachment on the forum and select "Save AS" or similar to Download it. See screenshot below.

 

Right Click download.jpg

 

Now  drag the CFScript.txt into the ComboFix.exe  

 


  • If you are using windows XP It might display a pop up saying that "Recovery console is not installed, do you want to install?" Please select yes & let it download the files it needs to do this. Once the recovery console is installed Combofix will then offer to scan for malware. Select continue or yes.
  • When finished, it will produce a report for you. Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" for further review


****Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall or freeze ****

Note: ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making it the default browser.
Note: Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CDs, floppies and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security.

*EXTRA NOTES*

  • If Combofix detects any Rootkit/Bootkit activity on your system it will give a warning and prompt for a reboot, you must allow it to do so.
  • If Combofix reboot's due to a rootkit, the screen may stay black for several minutes on reboot, this is normal
  • If after running Combofix you receive any type of warning message about registry key's being listed for deletion when trying to open certain items, reboot the system and this will fix the issue (Those items will not be deleted)

Hello Quads,

 

Attached is the file you requested. I also have to admit the little instruction movie had me cracking up for a while.

 

Thank you.

    • Scan potentially unwanted applications
