    14> Sometimes Zero Access creates small hidden partitions and you can remove them with this tool as well.15> Open another notepad windownotepad.exe16> Tile the two notepad windows side by side. One is the FRST.txt and the other the new notepad window.17> Now, if you notice in the above example for zero access the folder c:\windows\installer\{df5b1d7b-.}

    c:\users\Britec\AppData\Local\{df5b1d7b21> Copy the parent folder ( first line) here as well and paste into the new notepad window under the previous line.22> From the example above you see that last line for c:\windows\assembly\GAC\Desktop.ini

    Copy and paste this line as well. 23> Now for the services we need to handle that differently. So minimize the new notepad window for now24> Go back to you minimized Farbar window and run it again, but this time with the word services.exe

    in the search line25> Now scan again. 26> It will generate another log file called search.txt in the last location as the frst.txt file location.

    27> Now open up another notepad window (I know lol) and open up the search.txt log file. 28> Here are the results

    29> Copy that top line I highlighted and paste that into the file we were creating with all the infected foldersfiles30> Now at the bottom of this created file we need to type the following:

    replace: paste in the line we copied from the search.txt file, enter a space, then c:\windows\system32\services.exe

    31> Now on the very last l ine type the word end and press enter. Below is what you should have.

    32> Now save this file as fixlist.txt in the same location as the other .txt files we've been working with.33> Now go back to your flash drive and run frst.exe again 34> This time you click the fix buttonwhich will scan for the fixlist.txt button and repair those items.

    35> As you can see it then fixes the issues and generates another log file called FixLog.txt in the same location.

    You can open that file with notepad to see what was done.

    36> Notice that the files were moved into a folder for quarantine, which can be deleted later.37> At this point you should be clean but it is wise to do another scan to be sure. 38> Notice below now that services.exe is good

    And there you have it. Not for the everyday user. A lot must be inferred from this guide but I am sure you can figure out it use from this sample scan.

    Enjoy
