Some of *us* are busy people, too, and don't have the hour or so required to read the fine print, &c. That's why we turn to others -- only those who hold themselves out as able and willing -- to assist.

For the record: I am grateful for what the people at this site do. However, the "bump and die" policy strike the user, who might not be privvy to your rationale for it, as a bit draconian. And lecturing us as one might a 5 year old strikes one as patronizing.
 
Hi,

I am here to try and help you clean your computer, I do not get involved in politics

Your infected with a nasty rootkit, and this rootkit will stop most security scans from running, so be sure to follow these instructions and rename Combofix


Its important that you follow these instructions and rename Combofix as this Rootkit infection will stop it from running if its not renamed.

Download Combofix from any of the links below. You must rename it before saving it. Save it to your desktop.

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

CF_download_rename.gif


* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop


  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  • See this Link for programs that need to be disabled and instruction on how to disable them.
  • Remember to re-enable them when we're done.

  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.


RcAuto1.gif


Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
whatnext.jpg

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply along with a New Hijackthis log.

*If there is no internet connection when Combofix has completely finished then restart your computer to restore back the connections.

Hello Chazz,

That Rootkit was removed by Combofix :bigthumb:

Just one file I am concerned about.

You need to enable windows to show all files and folders, instructions Here

Go to VirusTotal and submit this file for analysis, just use the Browse Feature and then Send File, you will get a report back, post the report into this thread for me to see.

c:\windows\system32\drivers\37e15b73.sys <== This file


How are things running now ?
 
c:\windows\system32\drivers\37e15b73.sys <== This file

Click to expand...

I enabled the viewing of hidden files as directed, and could not find that file. I also did a "search" for that file and it was not found.

Would you like me to post another log?

Things are behaving much more normally. I gather that the malware had disabled or removed my recovery console?
 
Good Morning Chazz,

As far as the Recovery Console, when you ran Combofix it did not detect one so installed it. It should be there. When you boot up it should give you the option of windows or the RC.


What we like to do since you appear ok is run a free virus scanner to look for things we may have missed. Post the report along with a new HJT log after the scan.

Please run this free online virus scanner from ESET
  • Note: You will need to use Internet explorer for this scan
  • Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
  • Click Start
  • When asked, allow the activex control to install
  • Click Start
  • Make sure that the option Remove found threats is ticked, and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked
  • Click Scan
  • Wait for the scan to finish
  • Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
  • Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic

Greetings.

Prior to running ESET, I ran AdAware twice, because things had become sluggish again. The first run located a record-high 43 items, the second (done later), 29. I don't know if the ESET scan caught whatever was producing the items found by AdAware, as I haven't run it since.

I notice things get really bogged down in Gmail from time to often, and sometimes result in a VS Debugging window opening up, which then shuts down all my IE browsers. I do not know if this is related to any malware issues, but it does seem to correspond with Ad Aware finding numerous items.

Finally, I do notice the Recovery Console, but didn't before running ComboFix, so I figured one of the viruses had removed it at some point.

Chazz.
 
Chazz,

ESET removed a bad file, but not much else. Don't know what Ad-Aware removed, you did not say, were they just tracking cookies ? Your HJT log is fine, nothing bad on it. We did get rid of some nasty junk in the cleanup.

I am not looking at Anti Virus program installed, in this day and age with all the current threats its kind of suicidal not having any. Here are some free ones unless your planning on purchasing your own , just install one, more is over kill and will actually do more harm than good.

Free Anti Virus Programs



Chazz, why don't you post here for windows issues, it may be some programs bumping heads causing you problems, you can link them to this thread so they can see what we have done.

Combofix <---Is not a general cleaning tool, just run it with supervision or you can bork your system

  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

    • CF_Cleanup.png

  • When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"

The above procedure will:
  • Delete the following:
    • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    • VundoFix backups, if present
    • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
    • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
  • Reset the clock settings.
  • Hide file extensions, if required.
  • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
  • Reset System Restore.


I will keep this tread open for you for a week or so, post back and let me know how its going.

Ken
 
There was an error ("cannot rename...") when uninstalling ComboFix but the app does not appear when I attempt to rerun the uninstall routine.

I've put on AVG Free version.

AdAware found a bunch of cookies...I thought sometimes they were generated by malware or driver manipulations...

Thank you for all the other info and for your assistance.

Your very welcome Chazz.






Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard, they will conflict with the TeaTimer in Spybot , you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer .
Click to expand...


Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community
  • Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6
    Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.
  • Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.
  • Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.
  • IE-Spyad
    IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • Firefox 3 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.


Safe Surfn
