Hello, I wonder if any of this forum's experts could please give me some advice. I made the mistake of clicking on a link which had my email address as part of the URL in an MSN messaging window while talking to my friend (I have never had any problems with this sort of thing before). After this he told me that it was apparently a trojan, since his software (I'm not sure what it is) picked it up. I didn't notice anything until my next Spybot check, which brought up a few things: Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts, Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled, and Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888. A few times today Smitfraud-C. also appeared. I have fixed these in Spybot many times, only to have them reappear shortly after, especially (it seems) after using MSN Messenger, which was the source of the problem. I have followed the guidelines in the 'Before you post' topic, and have saved the online scan result from Panda Online Scan and run Spybot in safe mode (it found nothing) but unfortunately every time I try to use HijackThis, the program shuts down before I can grab the log. Could someone with the skills to help me out give me a bit of advice? Thank you very much in advance:D:

Hi G.Willis

Download SDFix (http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.exe) and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only and checkmark these:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {C1B4DEC2-2623-438e-9CA2-C9043AB28508} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [runner1] C:\WINDOWS\updater.exe 61A847B5BBF72811308B2B27128065E9C084320161C4661227A755E9C2933154389A

Close all windows including browser and press fix checked.

Please then 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, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
Choose your usual account.

Delete if present:

C:\WINDOWS\updater.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\{2C55D87A-069F-1033-1226-05071820002c}

Empty Recycle Bin

Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
(Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum with a new HijackThis log

Hello, thank you very much for your help:) Unfortunately, every time I try to run HijackThis it flickers off immediately after scanning really quickly. Do you think I should re-download it and start again? It just won't stay on screen long enough for me to check the specified items...

Thanks again

Hi

Sorry, I forgot that (that's because of that infection)

Use HijackThis in safe mode; it should work there :)

Hi

Make your hidden and system files visible -> http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

Delete this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\yzxhnbtbq\

Empty Recycle Bin

Please do a search:

Go "Start">"Search">"All Files and Folders"
Enter services.lnk in "All or part of file name"
Select "More advanced options"
Check-mark "Search System Folders", "Search hidden files and folders", and "Search subfolders".
Click "Search". Right click the file and select delete.

Empty Recycle Bin.

NOTE: That file may not exist at all! If it doesn't, just skip the step above.

Post a fresh HijackThis log.

Hi

Well, there is services.lnk anyway.

Create a Startup List
Open HiJackThis
Click on the "Config..." button on the bottom right
Click on the tab "Misc Tools"
Check off the 2 boxes next to the Box that says "Generate StartupList log"
Copy and past the StartupList from the notepad into your next post

Hi

Go here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Graham\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You should see here services.lnk (or a file named services which looks like a shortcut)

Delete it and post a fresh HijackThis log, please :)

OK, I deleted the Services shortcut and emptied the Recycle Bin, here is the HijackThis log from afterwards.

Hi

Just wanted to make sure that eg. Kaspersky is running :)

Run a scan with panda and post its log along with a fresh HijackThis log.

Hi, unfortunately while I received Kaspersky with my laptop when I first bought it, I found that because I wasn't able to figure out the settings, it stopped me going on websites that weren't even anything out of the ordinary (webcomics, etc). I can't for the life of me manage to find the Kaspersky CD to activate it, so for the moment I don't know what to do with it. Can you suggest any alternatives online that I could use for the moment? I will do the Panda scan now and post the result, thanks again.

Hi

Then try to uninstall kaspersky and install of these (remember to be offline during the whole process (unplug network cable/shutdown modem), download that another AV before tha ):

Anti-virus software are programs that detect, cleanse, and erase harmful virus files on a computer, Web server, or network. Unchecked, virus files can unintentionally be forwarded to others, including trading partners and thereby spreading infection. Because new viruses regularly emerge, anti-virus software should be updated frequently. Anti-virus software can scan the computer memory and disk drives for malicious code. They can alert the user if a virus is present, and will clean, delete (or quarantine) infected files or directories. Please download a free anti-virus software from one these excellent vendors NOW:

1) Antivir PersonalEdition Classic (http://www.free-av.com/)- Free anti-virus software for Windows. Detects and removes more than 50,000 viruses. Free support.
2) avast! 4 Home Edition (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html) - Anti-virus program for Windows. The home edition is freeware for noncommercial users.
3) AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1) - Free edition of the AVG anti-virus program for Windows.

It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.

Hi
I had run the Panda scan just before installing the software as per your instructions, should I do another one now and then do the HijackThis log?

By the way, I forgot to mention in the last post, I downloaded the AntiVir program.

Unfortunately, now Panda seems to be unable to get past the preliminary stage of scanning....it says 'Scanning Processes in Memory' then just sits there for about half an hour. Before it went through the whole thing fairly quickly, so I don't really know what happened with it.

Hi

Do this instead of panda:

Please print these instructions out, or write them down, as you can't read them during the fix.

Please download MWav (http://www.spywareinfo.dk/download/mwav.exe):

Unzip it to its predetermined directory (C:\Kaspersky)
Locate kavupd.exe in the new folder and double-click to Update.
If your firewall gives any messages about this program accessing to internet, allow it.
If it says the signatures are more than 30 days old, keep trying, until you get the actual definition updates.
When you see Updates Downloaded Successfully, hit Enter to continue.
Restart onto Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and locate the Kaspersky folder.
Locate mwavscan.com and double-click on it to launch the MWAV Scanner.Now lets do the settings:
Leave the Default Settings checked.
Add a check to Drives
This will light up All Drives
Add a check to Scan all Files
Click Scan Clean to begin.
This scan might take around 3+ hours to finish when set to scan everything.
Please be sure it has finished before proceeding.
Once the Scan has finished, all entries identified as Infected, will be displayed in the lower panel.
Highlight everything that is inside the lower panel and hit Ctrl+C at the same time to copy.
Open an empty notepad file and paste the results (Ctrl+V) to it. Save the notepad to your desktop, name it as you want (e.g; MWav Results).Reboot into normal Windows and post the results here along with a fresh HijackThis log.

Hi

Empty Internet Explorer temporary internet files

Otherwise looking good

Still problems?

Hi, I still seem to be getting random Internet Explorer popups leading to cell phone ringtone ads and occasionally when I search for something in Yahoo or other search engine setups a smaller window pops up with CasaleMedia at the top saying 'no results found for _____'

There were shortcuts appearing on the desktop when I used MSN Messenger or sometimes just when I opened an Internet Explorer window, but these seem to have stopped. I would send them to the Recycle Bin and delete them, but they'd always appear again the next time. Also, Spybot hasn't found anything at all the last few times I've run a check.

Thanks a lot for all your help so far, all I can say is I'm really glad places like this forum exist ^_^

Hi

Download F-Secure Blacklight and save it to your desktop -> https://europe.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml

Doubleclick fsbl.exe, accept the agreement, click Scan, then click Next

You'll see a list what have been found. A log will appear to your desktop, it is named fsbl.xxxxxxx.log (xxxxxxx will be random numbers).

DON'T choose Rename if something was found!

Post the contents of fsbl.xxxx.log to here (xxxx= random numbers,blacklight log from your desktop)

Hi

Download WinPFind3U.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/oldtimer/winpfind3u.exe) to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named WinPFind3u on your desktop.

Open the WinPFind3u folder and double-click on WinPFind3U.exe to start the program.

In the Files Created Within group click 30 days
In the Files Modified Within group select 30 days
In the File String Search group select Non-Microsoft

Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.

Use the Add Reply button and Copy/Paste the information back here. I will review it when it comes in.

Hi, I downloaded the WinPFind3U program but unfortunately it freezes up within a few seconds, do you think I should try it in safe mode?

Hi

Upload these files to VirusTotal (http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html) and post back results here, please :)

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\core.sys
C:\Windows\updater.exe
C:\Windows\w0.exe
C:\Windows\tci.exe
C:\Windows\tci0.exe

Hi, should I just attach them all to one email, or each individually?

Shaba
2007-04-23, 18:33
Hi

I don't mean email attachments here.

In VirusTotal go to Browse..., find corresponding file and click Send (do this one file at a time)

Then just wait for results and cop/paste them to here, please :)

G.Willis
2007-04-23, 20:02
Ah I see, it's just when I tried to select the file a message came up saying it'd be queued at number four hundred and something and that I could do it by e-mail. I'll just do it the first way then, thanks for clearing that up :)

Hi, unfortunately I've tried sending the first file on the list about 6 times since last night, each time waiting at least an hour for something to happen, but it just sits there saying '0 bytes received'. I'm doing exactly what the website's instructions say, but it doesn't seem to want to work.

Hi

Ok, then we do this:

Delete these files (they are bad, I just checked):

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\core.sys

Rename these and move them to another folder:

C:\Windows\updater.exe
C:\Windows\w0.exe
C:\Windows\tci.exe
C:\Windows\tci0.exe

Still problems?

2007-04-24, 16:05
Hi, I've done what you said in the last post, should I just leave the folder I created to put those files in, or delete it?

Also, when opening Internet Explorer no popup windows appeared, so for now it looks like everything is sorted out, thanks a lot for all your help :)

Shaba
2007-04-24, 16:31
Hi

Well wait few days and then delete those if you see no error messages related to them etc.

So everything's ok now?

G.Willis
2007-04-24, 20:46
Yeah, everything seems to be running very smoothly. Thanks a lot for all your help, I would obviously have had no idea whatsoever about how to sort this problem out.

If anything comes up I'll pop back here to get your opinion on it, but right now it seems to be ok.

Thanks again

Hi

Then you're clean!

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.

You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:

Windows XP System Restore Guide (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html)

Reenable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt

Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable

Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable

Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt

Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt

Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt

When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.

If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic405.html)


Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.


Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

Understanding and Using Firewalls (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial60.html)


Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com (http://www.windowsupdate.com) regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.

A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=48)


Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option.

This will provide real-time spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an anti virus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Instructions for - Spybot S & D and Ad-aware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=43)


Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial49.html)


Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety

IE/Spyad (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm) <= IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites 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.
MVPS Hosts file (http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
Winpatrol (http://www.winpatrol.com/) <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software (http://www.winpatrol.com/features.html)

Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info/index.php) <--- where you can make difference!

The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place (http://castlecops.com/postlite7736-.html)

Happy surfing and stay clean!
