View Full Version : Multiple Problems
Hello,
A little while ago my computer started to act strange and slow down i ran multiple scans from different programs to see if they detected a problem(but with out success, i uninstalled each before installing the next).
I ran 'Spybot S&D' in safemode and normal however everytime it gets to the end of the scan it just hangs and doenst complete. It seems to hang everytime on 'Zlob.VideoAXObject', unless i press 'Stop Check' any problems detected won't appear, even then when i click to fix the problems 'Spybot' says its successfully removed them all but another scan detects them again.
Other problems are with Firefox/IE7/Flash/
FireFox
When ever i open Firefox i am prompted with an error saying that it could not connect. To fix this i have to go into the internet options and settings to tell firefox to automatically detect my proxy settings. However it doesn't permantly save my selections, because if i close FF then reopen it i get the error again.
Flash and IE
Something seems to be blocking IE7's usage of Flash as when i visit Youtube or anyother site using flash videos i am prompted to update. If i update, it says it was successful but it doesn't actually update, this also happens with 'Stage6' DivX's video stream site and its divx plugin.
Sorry for the essay of detail :x

Hello rochey and welcome to the Forums :)
Sorry for the delay...
One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan :sick:
This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files
I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.
Though the infection has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:
How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud? (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10451)
When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063)
I can help you in the cleaning if you don't want to reformat but there is a possibility that we can't get you 100% clean.
Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post:bigthumb:
Oh god didnt know it was that serious :(
I don't do banking online, i do however shop online can my passwords for online shopping accounts be lifted? I run my computer through a firewalled router does that mean people can't connect to the trojan, or once its in they have access regardless?
I don't really want to reinstall my OS and wipe my system as iv only recently (past 3 months) done so. If you could help me get my system clean i would be very grateful. I will take your advice about a full format into account and decide what to do after my system is clean.
Thanks
Well backdoor infecftions are always dangerous.
I'll be happy to help you with the cleaning.
Download SDFix (http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.zip) and save it to your desktop.
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, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.
In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract All,
Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the script.
It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with a new HijackThis log
Ok this is the SDFIX log:

I don't know if it makes any difference but i have another harddrive on my computer, do i have to run hijackthis seperatly on that one ?
thanks for your help so far :bigthumb:
You don't need to run Hjt on a separate drive now.
1. Download this file - combofix.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Thanks for the reply,
I couldn't perform a couple of things in those instructions, firstly the ATF-Cleaner wouldn't let me click 'Firefox' because it was greyed out. Also AVG doesn't let me click on certain options such as 'Start with windows' and the various other options that were in the instructions as they were too greyed out.
However, i tried to follow the instructions as best as i could and the results are below:

Hello :)
Looks pretty good now. How is the computer running?
Thats good to hear thanks for the help!
Some original problems that i posted in my first post, which im not sure related to the big 'trojan backdoor' thing still exist. These are:
- Firefox will not save my connection settings when i press 'apply'. This means i have to set them everytime i open it.
- When looking at http://stage6.divx.com/ videos in Firefox im prompted to download the new plugins even though i have them. I can however watch the videos with no prompts for plugins in internet explorer.
- Viewing emails via MSN by 'Right Clicking the icon in the taskbar' then 'Clicking on the Email Inbox button' still won't load up IE. I have to open a IE window via the desktop shortcut then click on emails via msn and only then will it open.
Im not sure if these problems are due to a virus or spyware but their effects are what made me post on this forum. However, your help has allowed for youtube videos to be viewed on IE now and not ask for the latest flash. This is what makes me think that the above problems are due to some sort of virus.
Thanks again,
Is there a donation section on this site?
oops Forgot to mention the biggest problem which is that Spybot S&D still can't complete its scan resulting in it being unable to remove problems.
Hello :)
Ok the other problems sound like not-malware related. Have you tried installing/uninstalling or updating the programs?
Could you post the Spybot findings to here (the log file) :bigthumb:
And yes, we have a donation section --> http://www.spybot.info/en/donate/index.html
Thank you :)

Ok those Spybot findings are just cookies. These are easy to handle.
Did you try updating the other programs? Still issues?
Iv uninstalled firefox and i still get the connection settings error. I have also uninstalled Spybot and it still will not complete its scan.
:(
Hmm please try to run Spybot scan in safe mode.
Does it run there? :bigthumb:
Tried that already, just tried again then it still hangs :(
Hmm is there a some specific point whre the scan hangs? eg some specific file or infection?
This seems to be the last thing it scans "zlob.videoplugin". It scans for this probably for about the last quarter of the scan.
Ok hmm...
Please download SmitfraudFix (http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe) (by S!Ri)
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.
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.

NOTE: Do not run any other options from SmitfraudFix until I tell you to do so!
Thank you for your continued support!

Hmm ok.
Maybe the scan is going on in the backround but the programs seems to freeze. How soon have you stopped the scan? Please try scan again and when the program seems to freeze leave the computer alone for like an ½ or 1 hour. It is possible that the scan is then able to finish. Let me know :bigthumb:
I left it over night and it finished.
It took probably 10hours to complete the scan, at least it completed.
Im in the process of running another scan atm. The problems with firefox and explorer havent been fixed so im gunna run a scan over night in safemode and leave it to finish as well as try to run the repair windows disk to see if that can solve anything.
Thanks
Ok let me know the results :bigthumb:
sorry about not replying sooner, iv had exams and such so havent had chance.
Im going to run the scans and that tonight so ill post the results tomorrow, thanks for your patience and help :D
Finally exams are finished.
Goodnews, i ran repair windows disk and that fixed my internet explorer problems, i also uninstalled firefox again and removed the registry's and any trace of it throughout my computer which seemed to solve the problem.
The only problem now is the way S&D hangs at the end for hours and hours before completing. At the moment im not 100% sure whether it still does this as i ran the scan over night so didnt have a chance to see how long it hung for.
Anyway ill run another scan just to see if it hangs still. Results of last nights safemode scan are below:

I have the full report saved but its massive and takes some breaking up to post on the forum due to the character limit. If you want it all ill post it for you.
Ok there is propably something specific that slows down the scan. Propably some software. This doesn't sound like malware related.
How is the computer running now? :bigthumb:
The computer is running great now, the only problem is the slow 10hr+ scan speed but at least its nothing to do with spyware or anything.
I think my problems are all solved now. I can't thank you enough for helping me out with all my problems, your help and patience has been great.
Thanks again!
