Virus Destroys AVG
Hey guys...
A friend of mine asked me to fix his PC for him. I've been removing my own spyware and other people's for years now, so I figured I could handle it.
Unfortunatly.. He has some kind of insane virus that immidiatly crashes windows, when I try to install AVG free. Sometimes I can complete installation but it will always crash at some point while updating AVG Free.
Upon restarting the system, windows automatically performs a scan-disk, and finds AVG-Free as a "Invalid Disk Image" or some such, and removes it from the hard-disk.
When I tried to skip the scan-disk, the computer always insta-crashes whenever windows is started up.
Anyway... has anyone ever dealt with something like this before? I suppose my next option is online virus scans..?

Online virus scans may work, but if there is something nasty going on behind your back it will probably at least try to kill an online scan, too.

The HJT log does not show any malware on the computer.
What I suggest is to completely uninstall AVG from Add/Remove programs. Download the file to your desktop first. Close all programs and windows and install AVG again and see if there is any change.
Also, can you do this scan
Please run the Free Kaspersky Online Virus Scan
- Click on the Kaspersky Online Scanner button
- On the new window that opens, click the Accept button
- Kaspersky will check if you have the ActiveX installed. If not, you will be prompted to download it. Please do - it is perfectly safe.
- After accepting to install the ActiveX, you will need to click Accept again
- Kaspersky will then install the ActiveX and download the latest Anti-Virus files from their database. Please be patient, it may take several mintues to download the latest files. Click Next when done
- Select My Computer
Please do NOT use the internet while Kaspersky is scanning
- When the scan is complete, click the Save as Text button. Call it Virus Results and save the report to your desktop.
- Open the file and paste the entire contents here
ran the online scan, said there was no virus found.
Tried to install AVG again, it installed successfully. I thought everything was fine.
Then... Blue Screen crash, now everytime during the laptop start-up, it crashes immediatly to the blue screen. .... Any ideas?
Other interesting things of note: I was able to find a way to boot the computer into safe mode.. I was only able to do this by choosing Safemode with networking (even commandline froze while loading) and was only able to get safe mode to work by removing and replacing a usb thumb drive while it was loading. (otherwise it froze).
I know... this sounds weird... huh?
Also, if I chose the option "disable rebooting upon critcal error" or something to that effect from the boot menu... windows would not finish loading, and would give an error message saying a file was missing. Maybe the virus deleted that file to ensure crashing?
Anyway... I was able to run AVG, Hijack this, and all the other usual suspects in safe mode. None of them were able to find anything. I even tried MacAfee stinger for viruses that disable AV software, said the system was clean.
Figured maybe it was an HD error after all, but ScanDisk says the HD is fine...
This is a new one for me... tried every trick I know and couldn't fix it. I ended up simply system restoring to one week ago, because he needs to use the computer tommorow... I dunno if this bug can be killed without formatting.
Are you still getting the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
What problems are you still having?
Your HJT shows that you have F-Secure Anti-Virus on your computer. Why would you need AVG? Just so you know, its not a good idea to have two or more Anti-Virus programs on one computer as it may cause even more problems such as system crashes, etc.
Install one of these free Anti-Virus programs and see if you have any problems:
AntiVir
avast! 4 Home Edition
Nod32
Let us know how it goes
Since you did a system restore, you might want to post a new HJT log just to make sure its clean.
