Zlob.DNSChanger Gone???

[Hypnotist]

Greetings Good People!

According to a recent SB S&D scan, I contracted the referenced virus. I read the forum posts here, researched manual disinfection methods, ran some scans and Possibly removed the virus... but I've chosen to ask the experts here for verification assistance.

Per the "BEFORE you POST" Sticky, I'll provide a brief recap of my experiences and actions... as best I can recall:

First, I'm basically a Noob. That said, I now understand there are at least 2 possible avenues of infection in my case. I saw the ActiveX load prompt and Did Not click the download link (Born at night... but not Last Night)... and yet may have gotten the infection Anyway?!? And, I recently learned about P2P (not enough apparently)... downloaded UTorrent and began down & uploading files. Shortly thereafter... (couple days) I realized I was in for a battle... my D3ll 8400 started to act very strange. So I updated and ran my usual scans and cleans (AVG 7.5 Free, Ad-Aware 2007, Spybot S&D, Spy Sweeper, CleanUp!, CCleaner, Ace Utilities, and deleted Java Temp files). S&D finds Zlob.DNSChanger along with a couple of minor cookies. I clicked Fix Problems... (yes they were "checked")... and thought S&D had eliminated the virus... but it had not. I still wonder why not. Is that question answered in another thread?

Then I Googled for help, and of course, most want to sell you their "cure"... or, Spyhunter states I can attempt a manual clean myself. Along with other tasks, they direct you to registry locations for deletions. Problem was... I found no registry keys on my system matching those they described. I also recalled Trend Micro's identified threat's registry locations did not appear to be the same. So, Hmmmm... Do I have a virus or not? I read prior posts here on the same topic... tried Fixwareout... not sure if Fix box was checked, but went back and found it checked apparently by default, so I imagine it was checked at first run. I did not run it that second time. Then went to safe mode, ran S&D... oops... Zlob reappears. I did the System Restore thing somewhere during this process as well. Ran Kaspersky online scan... I still have that log... found 10 viruses and over 80 other threats. You Play-You Pay... Kaspersky... if you want them to fix it. Frustrated and bewildered, I came back here to "BEFORE you POST"... prepped to ask for help... and followed the "Pre-Post Procedure" requested. And Voila'... while running S&D in Safe Mode, S&D fixes the problem... rescan shows totally clean. I close S&D, disable System Restore while still in safe mode and reboot.
I immediately enable system restore and rerun a couple of scans... nothing found to speak of. I have not rerun S&D out of safe mode yet. Frankly, I'm afraid I might be disappointed that Zlob.DNSChanger removal was just an illusion.

Now... I defer to you... the experts. Let me Thank You in advance for any Zlob removal verification help you're willing and able to provide! BTW... many forum experts in other forums state that Spybot forum experts are the BEST at this. Well Done & Congratulations... That speaks volumes to me.

Note: The following online scans were run just prior to following the requested forum post prep procedure. I'll be happy to rerun if expert deems it necessary.

(1) eTrust/CA: 2 scans
1st scan: No infections found
2nd scan... scanning process froze

BTW... I saw no link to obtain a log. It may be that one is available only when threats are detected.

(2) Trend Micro: 2 scans
1st scan... 2 threats found and cleaned (did not document threat ID's)
2nd scan... "HouseCall did not find any potential threats on your computer. Make sure you run HouseCall once a week to keep your PC clean and malware free."

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance)
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Posting additional comments or logs before a volunteer responds, can push you back instead of forward, because your thread ends up with a newer date. Also, helpers may think you are already being assisted because of the post count. The same applies to 'bumping'.
Do you happen to remember what that ActiveX wanted to install?

I see SpySweeper running from your services, do you own this program?

I'm seeing this junk: http://www.castlecops.com/atxlist-1586.html

But I am concened this may be hidden Wareout. Usually we see a marker in the HJT log, but the Ukrainian hackers seem to have new tricks up their sleves in their search for information to steal. Let's run a tool to find out.

Thanks to LonnyBJones and anyone else who helped with this fix.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
Once the desktop loads post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log in the forum please.
Include any information I requested.

Thanks

[Hypnotist]

pskelley...

Thank You again in advance for your Valuable Time an Expert Assistance. Is it Surf's Up in Florida?! I'm still waiting for a good swell here in New Mexico.

The ActiveX wanted to install the notorious Fake video codec. I do not believe I took the bait... so who knows. Also note my recent P2P discovery/lesson. No copyrighted sharing, of course.

Yes... I was a subscriber to SpySweeper... my service currently expired. I'll re-up soon.

And I've certainly visited Castle Cops on more than one occasion. However, I don't have the expertise to determine the legitimacy/implications of that entry.

Interesting... This is the first I've seen the term "wareout". Do you happen to have the physical address of those delightful Ukrainians. My brother is headed to Belarus soon and I'll be happy to ask him to stop by their place with a Chernobyl Gift Basket.:present:

Please Note: I removed my last name from FWO log for obvious reasons, I will edit any posted logs similarly.

New FWO Log:

And I thought I uninstalled all that McAfee sludge. Why do they lie?

Okee Dokee... Thanks!

[pskelley]

let me see if I can answer these questions, start with information:
http://www.theregister.com/2007/05/11/google_malware_map/
http://redtape.msnbc.com/2007/05/the_next_net_th.html
Understand if you do not have your browser set to block that junk, you will get attempts. I'll post suggestions from experts about how to set ActiveX controls in a bit.

The CastleCops link was only there to show you what the ActiveX you have blugged into your browser is.
this is the DPF: O16 - DPF: {85D1F3B2-2A21-11D7-97B9-0010DC2A6243} - http://secure2.comned.com/signuptemp...ogin-devel.cab
and this: http://www.viruslist.com/en/viruses/encyclopedia?virusid=55423 is what it is.

Interesting... This is the first I've seen the term "wareout".
Glad to provide you with an address in the Ukraine: http://whois.domaintools.com/85.255.115.45
I strongly suggest you tell your brother to go well armed, they are organized crime.

Additional Note: Following my First HJT log posting here, and prior to this most recent log post, I took the liberty of fixing the HJT Section O17 DNS hijacks. I hope I haven't jumped the gun. The 017 lines you removed are for this: http://whois.domaintools.com/208.67.220.220
I sure hope you have not caused yourself a problem, do you know: United States San Francisco Freedom Networks Llc

I would be posting this information for you now:
You are running two antivirus programs at the same time and this is not a good thing. They conflict with each other and you will be less safe than if you ran one good program and maintained it properly.
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2000031316555206
"Microsoft recommends that you have only one anti-virus program installed on your computer."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/03/AR2005120300087.html
http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/2003/s1407/38s07/38s07.asp

In light of your statement I can post this information for you:
http://ts.mcafeehelp.com/displaydoc.asp?frames=1&docid=408302&CategoryId=107
http://www.majorgeeks.com/McAfee_Consumer_Product_Removal_Tool_d5420.html
You use the program at your own risk.

Instructions for HJT starts here:

These programs may block the change we must make.

To disable SpySweeper: Open the program
On the left, click: Options, then > Program Options
Uncheck: Load at windows startup
Again on the left click: Shields and uncheck all items there.
Uncheck: Home Page Shield
Uncheck: Automatically restore default without notification

We need to disable your Windows Defender Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.
Open Windows Defender, Click on Tools, General Settings.
Scroll down and uncheck Turn on real-time protection (recommended).
After you uncheck this, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.
After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
dead line

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Clean Manager
http://spyware-free.us/tutorials/cleanmgr/

Restart the computer, post a new HJT log and let me know about any malware problems.

Thanks

[Hypnotist]

Thanks so much pskelley... I very much appreciate you sharing such valuable educational information. When I stated earlier that I felt I was in for a battle, I didn't fully realize what a true battlefield the internet has become... especially for PC users browsing with IE. Apple looks better and better every day... for now.

I'll post suggestions from experts about how to set ActiveX controls in a bit.
I recently learned about more secure ActiveX control settings through "Bleeping Computer" http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html , and made the changes suggested there. Your criteria may be preferable.

The CastleCops link was only there to show you what the ActiveX you have blugged into your browser is.

I followed the Castle Cops link and it appeared benign... correct?

I followed the Ukrainian link to a "Hosting" outfit. I wonder if they know who buys their service... they probably do.

I strongly suggest you tell your brother to go well armed, they are organized crime.
As a 6'2", 375 lb middle-aged woman once told me... (She was from the old Eastern block... a chain smoking nuclear physicist/weapons developer at Los Alamos National laboratory)... "There is no problem So Great that it cannot be solved with a thermonuclear event." Oh those cone-head scientists and their wacky sense of humor.

I sure hope you have not caused yourself a problem, do you know: United States San Francisco Freedom Networks Llc
No problems to my knowledge so far... and no, I do not recognize the Specific entity known as United States San Francisco Freedom Networks Llc. I briefly searched for some solid information regarding their business... but to no avail. I was in the debt relief industry for some time, (many of these companies use the word "Freedom" in their name), and it might be that during my due diligence, one of those websites injected some junk.

You are running two antivirus programs at the same time and this is not a good thing.
I'm surprised to learn I'm running 2 AV's. I do understand this is not good. I thought I only had AVG on my system.:red: Which other AV is present?

And Thanks So Much for the McAfee links. Those "dangling chads" have bugged me for some time now... ever since I tried to uninstall following their last major update. That update put so many of their user/subscribers into a serious quagmire.

I unchecked and saved everything as you instructed with SpySweeper... however, Automatically restore default without notification was not shown under any of the menu tabs. Defender and then HJT also done.

Question: I wasn't clear as to my assigned task utilizing the Clean Manager link. Should I have downloaded before HJT fix... and then run it following HJT log save... and before reboot... or was it a courtesy FYI? I apologize for my lack of full understanding there. I'll be happy to backtrack if need be.

At any rate... New HJT Log:

Thank You!

I will only post responses where I believe they are needed, if something is not clear, ask again:

I recently learned about more secure ActiveX control settings through "Bleeping Computer" bleepingcomputer is one of the links I use.
I followed the Castle Cops link and it appeared benign... correct?

correct...it was there to provide information about this malware item:O16 - DPF: {85D1F3B2-2A21-11D7-97B9-0010DC2A6243} - http://secure2.comned.com/signuptemp...ogin-devel.cab
VirTool.Win32.Collector

I'm surprised to learn I'm running 2 AV's.My apology, I saw AVG and McAfee, but it appears you use McAfee for spam and the firewall only.

I unchecked and saved everything as you instructed with SpySweeper...
once again, sorry. The programs change so much it is hard to keep up. This link is usually fairly accurate:
http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal:_Temporarily_Disable_Real_Time_Monitoring_Programs

I wasn't clear as to my assigned task utilizing the Clean Manager +
clean manager is a windows tool:
Start > Run > type "cleanmgr" without the quotes and OK. I personally delete what Windows finds.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx

Thank You Sir... for your help, your teaching and ALL that You Contribute!

My mom asked that I be sure and tell you how much she appreciates your powerful reminders regarding our undervalued teaching corps... and the finest armed service men and women in this world. I completely concur!

God Bless You,

Brad
