Several people are being shown advice relating to malware called Blazefind
but I cannot seem to implement this advice.
How my problem began: yesterday morning I was unable to view webpages. I'd
get your typical IE white page of text that you see when you're offline and
try to load a webpage. But chat programs and other internet functions worked
fine. I rebooted and found that after entering my login password I'd see
"loading your settings" then "logging you off" no matter how many times I
tried to login. Same thing would happen as Administrator. Same thing in safe
mode and "Last Known Good Configuration".
I should also note I have a raid array. It is reported as degraded when I
reboot the machine but I'm told this is normal after multiple reboots. I
should also note I ran chkdisk before I found the advice in these forums.
But when I type R and press enter I'm never asked for a password. I'm taken
to a C: prompt. If I try CD Windows, WINNT, or CD system32 I get an error
that the directories don't exist. Therefore I cannot implement any of the
advice given. If I type the dir command I see something pretty bizarre, a
listing of files or directories with some letters and mostly dashes like
"d--h-----" or something like that.
I've tried remote desktop and viewing the computer on the network but am
unable to do so.
I can't recall if I ran Spybot Search and Destroy but may have a couple of
weeks ago before I left for Xmas vacation.
I hope I can get some help here, I've been stuck in this hell for 24 hours
and this computer is filled with valued information. Thank you for reading.
