I dont think he is reffering to malwarebytes. But, Emsisoft products. hxxp://www.emsisoft.com/en/

If you would like to tackle it yourself try starting here : hxxp://greatis.com/appdata/d/PROGRAM_FILES/m/mail.ru_sputnik_sputnikflashplayer.exe.htm Only "do not download unhackme ". I am unaware of its legitimacy. File location on part of it is there.

Senzorei. I did a few hours of research for you According to lavasoft your virus is called a variant of win32/loadmoney hxxp://lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/securitycenter/whitepapers/lavasoft-security-bulletin-july-2013 Eset detects some variants of this. If you havent ran a full scan with nod32, i would give it a shot. If it does not work. Post back here and ill assist in removal. I have all the info i require to build you a batch file for removal or a vbs. Good luck

Its like the entire format changed. No longer .docx lol Im also watching bleepingcomputer and a few other sites as i listen to people post about almost fixed and "im working on it". At least we can defend. Its the recovery of important docs etc that is paramount. Even if they were just deleted we could get a raw dump of the physical drive.

Sirefef standalone cleaner is nice in the fact it restores services dlls and registry keys. Tried it out over the weekend on a clients machine. Good stuff. It had piggy backed on a google redirect virus.

Change the no action listed option. Try scanning again. To quickly disable toolbar. Go to Control panel 》internet options 》 programs tab 》manage addons 》 set to disabled

I now have 6 or 7 clients infected. I have opened both a clean doc and infected doc to view whats behind. My findings are astonishing. 1 is normal the other is screwed bad enough to know whats ahead in cleanup. As stated by the analyst from emsisoft. A file with efs cannot be half encypted. Its either fully encrypted or not at all. I dont think this has been done by efs as ive seen cipher come up with 0 encrypted files. Someone mentioned rsa but i tend to doubt that also. Has Eset come up with any helpful information?

Michael. Anything in appdata local temp will never be a legitimate windows file. Thus to me indicates the virus is gone yet the registry still has a run key to open the virus, yet the virus is missing now. Proper cleanup still needs to be completed my friend

Mbam will directly work with av company who has software conflicting.

These programs run just fine together. Been using both for a long time. Eset has confirmed this. Malwarebytes has confirmed. I dont have startup delay. I run windows 7 64bit home premium. You might want to remove the exclusions and check your event viewer For possible resolution. hxxp://blog.malwarebytes.org/news/2013/08/malwarebytes-av-compatibility-report/

Whats strange (funny) is its coming from a machine on the same subnet as he stated.... someone in his network is the culprit. Sorry for your troubles denzof, but having the IP should help you identify EXACTLY which machine it is coming from. Your router is giving it an IP within the lease range Some very nice spoofing going on if you have a well rounded hacker infesting your network.

Good luck Drake !! hxxp://www.virusradar.com/en/MSIL_CoinMiner.AV/description

Yes I know version 5 would be fine, as before I upgraded to version 6, version 5 did not have that problem. I am patient though, and can deal with the problem momentarily, in hopes of a proper fix. I really like Eset protection, but since version 4 there has just been so many firewall and network issues with so many people. I have always been able to overcome these issues if I had them. I think one day I just may revert to plain Eset AV, and use Windows firewall or something similar. Not to bash on ESS, but i have never used security suites on my personal machines. ( i have also never had issues because of it ) You may be heading in a beneficial direction ! In fact, going back to before i even heard of Eset, " I never downloaded or installed security suites from any anti virus company on any of my desktops " I am usually contempt with my router firewall (physical firewall or similar) - and the standard AV engine with real time protection. ( I used Threat fire from pc tools before av companies starting adding heuristics and zero day detection ) I now use Cylance which is a company being managed by Stuart Mcclure who pulled his team from McAfee. This is not a replacement for general AV and security like Nod32, but a second level of protection like threat fire was. Good luck, and if i hear of this issue resolving itself, i will pass the info along to this thread or similar to help you out !

This sounds like crazy fun, but also a little too far !! lol Too bad the GUI is created in a developer environment in tandem with the code like Visual Studio project etc.

Respectfully, i would have to agree with Marcos, as this issue has never been reported, and i presume it could be related to system configuration issues or possibly third party programs that may hinder your boot process and start up apps ! Good luck sir !!

I made the following changes as suggested and temporarily disabled updates by turning off component upgrades, and also set do not update if larger then 1 KB Under LAN tab, i also checked "Disconnect from server after update, just incase its related to server connection". Also in Scheduler, disable tasks for updates !! My Never ending update has ceased for the time being. I will await a response from the company and be contempt that Real time file protection is still active and my scanner functionality is ok. Also my Outlook integration had a hiccup, and it seems to be acting normal now as well. I also cleared update cache then restarted my PC! Sorry on behalf of Eset for any struggles this has caused ! Hope this helps ! Edit: Noticed that i had a successfull update of last vsd as well ! So i fear it may be a disconnect from server issue ?, who knows

Good day to you Senzorei , nice to meet you, and welcome to the forums ! Your etiquette and vocabulary are surprising to me in regards to your age. I am sure you will excel and accomplish great things in the IT world. Welcome again !

I am seeing this as well

I was referring to system event viewer. Regardless of having ess installed these logs are still available going back for months. Control panel > Admin tools > event viewer is one way to get to it. Eset will primarily want sysinspector logs which is more specific to eset afaik.

Marcus mentioned something about the document protection having conflicts with outlook. I would start with everything unticked then 1 at a time tick to maybe find the culprit. Svchost could be anything... I know its hard to get forum support over the weekends. But most crashes and causes can be identified in sysinspector or event viewer. I never recieved your system evtx. Only 1 entry. Ill be around most the day. Evenings and weekends are my free time. While fixing computers and networks are what i do during weekdays lol
