  1. Hello and Welcome to the forums. :)

    I am MoNsTeReNeRgY22 and I will be assisting you with your malware problem today.

    Looking at your system now, one or more of the identified infections is a backdoor application which can allow attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data.

    If this computer is ever used for on-line banking, I suggest you do the following immediately:

    1. Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.

    2. From a clean computer, change ALL your on-line passwords for email, for banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, on-line companies, any on-line forums or groups you belong to.

    Do NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passwords and transaction information.

    Please visit this web page for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

    This includes installing the Windows XP Recovery Console in case you have not installed it yet.

    For more information on the Windows XP Recovery Console read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058.

    Once you install the Recovery Console, when you reboot your computer, you'll see the option for the Recovery Console now as well. Don't select Recovery Console as we don't need it. By default, your main OS is selected there. The screen stays for 2 seconds and then it proceeds to load Windows. That is normal.

    Once you have finished installing the Windows Recovery Console, please continue with the rest of the tutorial at the above link.

    Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that, along with a new HijackThis log.

  2. Much better, some of the original log that you posted so I just wanted to make sure everything got moved to the right place.

    Other than that, nice job your log looks clean!

    Please use the following suggestions to help prevent reinfection.

    • Make sure you have an Internet Connection.
    • Double-click OTMoveIt2.exe to run it. (Vista users, please right click on OTMoveit2.exe and select "Run as an Administrator")
    • Click on the CleanUp! button
    • A list of tool components used in the Cleanup of malware will be downloaded.
    • If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OtMoveit2 to rech the Internet, please allow the application to do so.
    • Click Yes to beging the Cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
    • You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

    Clearing and Creating a new Restore Point to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. You will lose all previous Restore Points which are likely to be infected. Now we need to make a new Restore Point for your PC, please do the following:

    • Click Start
    • Right click My Computer and select Properties
    • Click the System Restore tab
    • Check "Turn off System Restore" and click "Apply". Please give a moment as it will delete the old Restore points
    • Then uncheck "Turn off System Restore" which will create a new Restore point
    • Click OK

    The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again. As a note, all of the tools and utilities mentioned are either free or have free versions available.

    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - A very powerful tool which searches and kills malware that infects your system.

    **Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**

    SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep malware from installing on your system.

    **Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**

    SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.

    **Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**

    IE-SpyAd - Puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.

    **Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found HERE**

    ATF Cleaner - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out malware that like to reside in the temp folders.

    It is important to run only one of each type of protection program in resident mode at a time since conflicts can make them less effective. This would mean only one resident antivirus, firewall and scanning type of anti-spyware. Programs like SpywareBlaster and IE-Spyads do not conflict with any of these since they don't have a real time scanning engine that would conflict.

    Windows Updates - It is highly recommend to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

    It is also highly recommended to stay on top of your updates at all times, for Windows and all the above mentioned applications. This will ensure that you stay protected at the maximum level possible.

    Finally, I strongly recommend action-smiley-036.gifHow did I get infected in the first place? (by Tony Klein)

    Good luck and safe surfing :)

  4. Hello again,

    First, please run ATF cleaner again with the same instructions as above.

    Then...

    Using Windows Explorer (to get there right-click your Start button and go to "Explore"), please delete these files (if present):

    C:\Documents and Settings\Jeff Ball\My Documents\LimeWire\Saved\ms tease.mpg

    Other than that,nice job your log looks clean!

    Please use the following suggestions to help prevent reinfection.

    Also, you may delete any tools I had you download during the cleaning process.

    Clearing and Creating a new Restore Point to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. You will lose all previous Restore Points which are likely to be infected.

    Firewall A firewall is very important, in order to protect your computer from hackers. I notice that you don't have one installed! Therefore I recommend Comodo, Online Armor, or Outpost.

    **Tutorial on Firewalls can be found HERE**

    It is important to run only one of each type of protection program in resident mode at a time since conflicts can make them less effective.

  5. Hello again,

    Step 1

    Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

    • Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following.
    • Restart your computer
    • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
    • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
    • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
    • Choose your usual account.

    Once in Safe Mode, double-click on SmitfraudFix.exe

    Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

    You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

    The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

    The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.

    A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

    The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

    Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

    Step 2

    Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your desktop.

    • Close all applications and windows.
    • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
    • When the scan is complete, a text file will open - Main.txt
    • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of Main.txt into your thread.
    • An additional text file, Extra.txt,will also be available (by default) in the following FOLDER, C:\Deckard\System Scanner.
    • Please go to that folder and also copy the contents of Extra.txt to your post as well.

    Note: Some firewalls may warn that sigcheck.exe is trying to access the internet - please ensure that you allow sigcheck.exe permission to do so.

  6. Hey Charlie,

    Mhmm, lets try a different tool if you don't mind.

    • NOTE: You will need to temporarily disable any programs you have running that will block attempts to edit the registry. As FixIEDef calls REGEDIT to delete registry keys added by Zlob, Trojan.Downloader.Delf, AntiSpyPro, and IE Defender.

    • Download FixIEDef.exe by ShadowPuterDude to the Desktop.
      Note: FixIEDef now supports Non-English Language Systems
    • Double-click FixIEDef.exe:
      fixiedef_zip.png
    • That will open the About FixIEDef screen. Click OK to continue:
      about_fixiedef.png
    • Next, press the Scan! button:
      press_scan.png
    • FixIEDef needs to run as Administrator to perform correctly. This message simply confirms it was able to run with admin privileges. Click OK to continue:
      fixiedef_alert.png
    • Wait for the scan to finish. It shouldn't take very long:
      FixIEDef_FileScan.png
      fixiedef_scanning.png
    • WARNING: FixIEDef will kill all copies of Internet Explorer and Explorer that are running, during removal of malicious files. The icons and Start Menu on your Desktop will not be visible while FixIEDef is removing malicious files. This is necessary to remove parts of the infection that would otherwise not be removed.
    • After the !!! All Finished !!! message is displayed, click Exit:
      all_finished.png
    • Post the FixIEDef log file, located on the Desktop.
      Note: process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool". It is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

    See: http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm

    Antivirus Program An antivirus program is almost a necessity in today's digital world to stay protected. I notice that you don't have one installed! Therefore I recommend avast! 4 Home Edition, Anti-Vir, or PC Tools AntiVirus.

    Firewall A firewall is very important, in order to protect your computer from hackers. I notice that you don't have one installed! Therefore I recommend Comodo, Online Armor, or Outpost.

  11. Hello again,

    First, Trend-Micro isn't a very good AV program in my opinion. I have previsouly used it, and wasn't impressed at all with it in general. Missed a lot of malware on my pc, slow updates, etc. Now to answer your questions, ComboFix uses many advanced procedures that are used to stop system processes and do other important activities. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

  14. Hello and Welcome to BT. :)

    I am MoNsTeReNeRgY22 and I will be assisting you with your malware problem today.

    Looking at your system now, one or more of the identified infections is a backdoor application which can allow attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data.

    If this computer is ever used for on-line banking, I suggest you do the following immediately:

    1. Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.

    2. From a clean computer, change ALL your on-line passwords for email, for banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, on-line companies, any on-line forums or groups you belong to.

    Do NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passwords and transaction information.

    For more information on the Windows XP Recovery Console read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058.

    Once you install the Recovery Console, when you reboot your computer, you'll see the option for the Recovery Console now as well. Don't select Recovery Console as we don't need it. By default, your main OS is selected there. The screen stays for 2 seconds and then it proceeds to load Windows. That is normal.

    Once you have finished installing the Windows Recovery Console, please continue with the rest of the tutorial at the above link.

    Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that, along with a new HijackThis log.
