Hey Krit, glad to see you! Shame it's not under better circumstances.

It looks like the infection is a rootkit called WinBlueSoft.

• Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop
  
  
  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
    
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop
  
  
  
• Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.
  
  
  • Leave the script box empty.
    
  • Leave the ticked box "Scan for rootkit" ticked.
    
  • Then tick "Disable any rootkits found"
    
  • Now click on the Execute to begin execution of the script.
    
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.
    
    The Avenger will automatically do the following:
    
  • It will Restart your computer.
    
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
    
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
    
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
  
  
  
• Please paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply.

Thanks Tarun. This is actually going to be on hold for a few days because the PC owner needed it back for a few days.

However! You are correct about the WinBlueSoft, and it is absolutely ridiculous. Who is behind this?

Initially, I could not extract zip folders, could not run any programs, could only open the 'My Docs' folder, etc....

My point is that with this bugger you have to get control of the PC to some extent to run anti-malware programs. WinBlueSoft installed a blocker.dll file in the System32 folder that only allowed 53 specific programs to run (non of which included anti-malware programs,lol). So I unhid system files as such, and did a search for blocker.dll since I couldn't navigate to it using explorer. In the search results window I was able to right-click the file and rename it by adding .bat to the end of the file name.

Then I rebooted, and was able to run programs once again.

I am only stating this information just in case you come across someone else with the same problem.

I will get that log to you ASAP.
