[Solved] Dinihou.G.2. Virus - Need Help please

Hi Cassie,

All we need to do now is to remove the tools we have used and perform a few cleanup steps.

Step 1
Restart MBAM.
Click on the History tab >> Quarantine
Tick to select any items and then click the Delete button.
Close MBAM.


Step 2
Please uninstall ComboFix by
Clicking on Start ...then run ... and type in combofix /uninstall (don't forget there's is a gap between x and /) Then press Ok


This action will uninstall Combofix and also perform a few cleanup measures

By default, Windows 7 does not have the "Run" command on the start menu. It's easy to get this back.

1. Open the start menu.
2. Right click on a non-icon area and select "Properties".
3. Press the "Customize" button.
4. Scroll down and find the "Run command" checkbox.
5. Check it and press OK.
6. Press OK.

You now have your run command on the start menu.



Step 3
Flash Disinfector, TFC and FRST can be removed by right clicking on the Desktop icon/reports and selecting delete.
There is also a folder located at C:\FRST.
Right click on this folder and select delete to remove the quarantine items and saved reports.

Eset can be removed using the Remove Programs feature in Control Panel.


Step 4
Now you should set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since System Restore is a protected directory, your tools may not access it to delete these bad files which sometimes can reinfect your system. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

Click Start >> Right click Computer >> Properties.
Click System protection (left pane)
Select the System Protection tab, and then click Create.
In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click Create.

To delete all but the last restore point:

Open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button.
In the search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.
If prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then click OK.
In the Disk Cleanup for (drive letter) dialog box, click Clean up system files.
If prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then click OK.
Click the More Options tab, under System Restore and Shadow Copies, click Clean up.
In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click Delete.
Click Delete Files, and then click OK.

How did i get infected?



Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Use an AntiVirus Software

Only install one AntiVirus program

Update your AntiVirus Software regularly

Use a Firewall

Only install one software Firewall


Scan regularly with a 'Stand Alone' Anti-Malware scanner:
Installing another scanner that you can run once or twice a week is always beneficial.
Something like:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
SUPERAntiSypware
Remember to update these programs each time before running.
You can install more than one of these if you only run them as stand alone programs.

Use an alternative browser to Internet Explorer:
Some excellent alternatives to MS Internet Explorer are:

Firefox
For added security, add the NoScript extension to this browser:
Allow active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS and Clickjacking attacks
also consider adding:
WOT - Safe Browsing Tool

Web of Trust warns you about risky sites that cheat customers, deliver malware or send spam. Millions of members of the WOT community rate sites based on their experience, giving you an extra layer of protection when browsing or searching the Web.
Btw: you don't have to make a contribution.

Opera

They offer better security, more stability, and better speed.

Keep a backup of your registry
Keeping a regular backup of your registry will help when something goes wrong.
Use a program like:
Erunt

A full tutorial on how to set up and use Erunt can be found here:
Erunt tutorial

Keep your system clean of temp files etc, using a 'Cleaner':

Cleaners are programs that will help to clean out your:
Windows temp files
Current user temp files
Cookies
Temporary Internet flies
Browser history
Recycle bin
Etc.......
In other words.... all the rubbish that you accumalate over the course of your browsing and day to day usage of your pc.
Programs like:
TFC by OldTimer
ATF Cleaner

Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit Windowsupdate regularly.
Alternatively, turn on the Automatic Updates.

Peer to Peer programs
Don't be tempted to use Peer to Peer programs.
Many of the downloads are bundled with malware.

Update all your 'Security' programs regularly - Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.

Safe surfing.
