Lots of Problems (Downloader2 is at the heart of it I think)

[Brian1976]

Hello.

I posted here earlier in the week about several viruses/trojans that have appeared on my computer. Over the course of the last week I have run across the following bad files on my various virus scan/spyware sweeps.

w32/Backdoor.ARKO (its in System32 folder - EOSHJDGV.dll is the infected file)
w32/Dropper.ESC (also in System32 folder - DL52.exe is infected file)
w32/Downloader2.AH2G (System32 - TIQASQ1065.exe)

I thought I had the above deleted...but

The following are from my latest virus scan today

w32/Trojan.NODI (backup-20070612 & jceglnpn.dll are infected, I think they may be in the hijackthis folder actually)
w32/Downloader2.AH2G (AOO13774.exe in system volume info/restore folder)
w32/Dropper.ESC (in system volume info/restore folder)
w32/Downloader2.AHGC (system32/t6/dlwr.exe)

I have tried to run the Trend Micro virus scanner as requeted but it does not seem to want to run. I will not try to run the eTrust virus scanner as every time I open Internet Explorer a pop up virus fires up.

Spybot catches things and then it doesnt. It depends on what I run first, the virus scanner or spybot. I ran the virus scanner first today so all spybot detected was tracking cookies.

Up next I have run HijackThis and will post the log following this sentence.

thanks for any help you can recommend. I hope that I have not broken any rules by starting a new thread while an older irrelevant one is active.

Brian1976

p.s. here are the links to the two threads I had going before, #1 (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=90562#post90562)
#2 (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=14770)

I rebooted and started up in SafeMode and ran both Spybot and Adaware, neither returned anything other than a couple cookies.

hi Brian1976,

last log dosnt look bad at all. looks like one of those is in the hjt backups, two are in the system restore archives, which we can delete later.

this one:
system32/t6/dlwr.exe
see if you can find it in the system32 dir. looks like a folder named t6 with a .exe in it.

please stay in this thread so we dont get lost.

[Brian1976]

found the folder, but it is empty now.

[shelf life]

hi Brian1976,

you can delete the hjt back ups if you want or leave them
start hjt, click on open misc tools section
click on backups, highlight and delete.

the other two are in system restore archives. to make new restore points:

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(winXP)

1. Turn off System Restore. (deletes old possibly infected restore point)
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.(new restore points on a clean system)
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK, then reboot
------------------
should be good to go now.

[Brian1976]

System restore has been turned off and then on again. What next?

[shelf life]

hi Brian1976

that should be it.
one was in hjt backups
one in a folder, but no longer there
two in system restore which you deleted

if all is good-- read my prevention page, lots of pictures not alot of reading.
