Nasty Virus or Hardware issue...???

elmo scoggins · January 14th, 2009, 05:52 PM

I run Prevx, so I can see almost everything that goes on with my laptop. However during the last few days it seems to be infected with either a virus (which is undetectable by Prevx, AVG, Win Defender, Symantec, and Avast) which is constantly accessing the drive and runs the processor at 100% whenever doing any disk acess. I increased the space available to the TOC did the usual diskchecks and defragged, but the system takes forever to startup and shut down, and is always busy to some degree. Cutting internet access makes no difference and I am resonably familiar with what is running through weekly checks with Hijack, so I'm at a loss. I have included HJT log. I also ran GMER in scan mode (no fix) and it made it through 99% and crashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I only run Prevx normally and shutdown other AV.

Well first thing, you should not be running multiple instances of Anti-virus programs at the same time. That is known to cause lots of issues. Second did you check this post and run the log through the HijackThis Analyzer & Tutorial ?

Third a big welcome to TIMO.

Thanks for the Welcome...you guys (and gals) are greatly appreciated. I don't run anything except Prevx in most instances. I forgot to remove the others after I loaded and ran each alone to see if they found anything. I ran the log through and there was nothing of consequence found. I run and check a hijack log every week just to make sure nothing new has found its way in. Thats why this whole deal is strange because I haven't found anything different than those items that have been in the log for a long time.

I haven't heard of any viruses that are that specific to the drive only, but I'm sure I'm not up on the whole universe. I was surprised that GMER failed which makes me a bit suspicious about a rootkit, but I'm not familiar with how they might affect things. Any suggestions would be welcome.
