Hi

 

I have been affected on bootkit/rootkit on my Windows laptop.

 

I have tried system reset/reinstall/clean install/ Bios Update with EZ-Flash
utility 

None of this works. Each time after a fresh install My system shows weird
shortcuts in C when Hide OS files is disabled from view option.

 

Various Net adapters show up in Devmgmt.msc 

Can this rootkit spread through Network as there is another asus laptop(my sis)
on the network and few android phones. My phone also seems forked.

 

 

What are these Network adapters and what about MS Root enum?

 

Please find FRST logs as advised on other threads.

Greetings rmisamit and to BleepingComputer's Virus/Trojan/Spyware/Malware
Removal forum.

My name is Oh My! and I am here to help you! Now that we are "friends" please
call me Gary.

If you would allow me to call you by your first name I would prefer to do that.

===================================================

Ground Rules:
 * First, please keep in mind most of us at BleepingComputer volunteer our
   assistance for your benefit in your time of need. Please try to match our
   commitment to you with your patience toward us.
 * It is important to not run any tools or take any steps other than those I
   will provide for you.
 * Please perform all steps in the order they are listed. If things are not
   clear or you experience problems be sure to stop and let me know.
 * Please copy and paste all logs into your post unless otherwise requested.
 * When your computer is clean I will let you know, provide instructions to
   remove tools and reports, and offer you information about how you can combat
   future infections.
 * If you do not reply to your topic after 5 days I will assume it has been
   abandoned and I will close it.

===================================================

Now that I am assisting you, you can expect that I will be very responsive to
your situation. If you are able, I would request you check this thread at least
once per day so that we can try to resolve your issues effectively and
efficiently. If you are going to be delayed please be considerate and let me
know.

My purpose here will be to look for malware on your system and will not include
addressing every issue or question you may have. In other words, if I determine
your computer is clean it will be up to you to educate yourself about "strange"
things your eyes may set upon as you dig into your system. Not recongnizing
something or thinking it may be odd does not make it malware.

Please run a new FRST scan and copy/paste both reports in your reply using
multiple posts if necessary.

Greetings,

===================================================

Do You Still Need Help?

It has been 3 days since my last post.
 * Do you still need help with this?
 * If you have not replied within 48 hours I will assume you have abandoned the
   Topic and it will be closed.
