Yesterday (2008-11-22), I began having problems with Google redirects after conducting searches. Websites would open in new windows that related to my search queries. I tried to run Adaware and that would crash. Norton AV picked up nothing. I noticed the following strange startup options that had been added:
Startup Item: bepepono
Command: Rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\bepepono.dll",s
Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Startup Item: dayevino
Command: Rundll32.exe "c:\windows\system32\ dayevino.dll",a
Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Startup Item: huholapu
Command: Rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ huholapu.dll",b
Location: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Startup Item: dayevino
Command: Rundll32.exe "c:\windows\system32\ dayevino.dll",a
Location: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
So I googled these terms and found absolutely nothing. I found it to be very strange that none of these words turned up a single solitary Google entry (bepepono, dayevino, huholapu). As soon as I would uncheck these items in startup, leave, then come back, they would be automatically rechecked. I tried deleting the actual dll files and it wouldn't let me.
So I found Spybot and that helped immensely! It found the following problems:
MS.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallBypass
Virtumonde.prx
Virtumonde
I ran Spybot a few more times, a couple times while not connected to the internet (per recommendation on one of the items). Yet the Google redirecting would still occur.
I then ran the Atribune ATF Cleaner. The Google redirecting stopped occurring. The strange startup items now allow me to uncheck them - all except for one:
Startup Item: dayevino
Command: Rundll32.exe "c:\windows\system32\ dayevino.dll",a
Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
This startup items always stays checked. So I am concerned that my computer is still infected. Here is my HJT Log. You will notice all of the references to the above-named startup items:
