Pop-ups

[ian_w]

I think that my home PC has caught something nasty. I have read thro your instructions and hopefully I have followed them correctly.

The symptoms are that my PC keeps flashing up lots of pop-ups in IE7 about viruses and spyware, I'm also getting messages from the system tray saying similar. In addition there are 2 new icons on my desktop - looking at the Properties of these they point to http://kukkakreck.com/cehpmoin/?cmp=h5lib-1_1

I tried running the Kaspersky online check, it completed but IE said there were errors on the page and unfortunately there appeared to be no buttons on the page to save the log file. It did however say that there were 12 viruses and 43 infected files. Whilst the scan was running then there were pop-ups appearing everywhere. I haven't re-run the scan as I didn't think it was wise to reconnect the PC to the internet.

I have run Spybot 1.5 several times in Safe mode and it finds Virtumonde and Virtumonde.generic. It says that it has fixed these but when I reboot and scan again then they reappear.

I've run a HijackThis log, the file is below:

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. Don't worry about Kaspersky now, we will get a fresh scan a bit later in the process.

This is a Vundo infection and the variety of Vundo right now is very hard to remove, I can not say how long it will take. On top of that, a major tool we use is unavailable. I can make no promises beyond the fact I will do my best to help you remove it. If you are not comfortable working on your computer or if you don't have the time it will take, you might want to consider reformatting. If you wish to continue, read and follow the directions carefully.

1) The junk will download more, you need to stay offline except when troubleshooting.

2) TeaTimer will block changes we must make, use these instruction to turn it off until we are done.

3) See this: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=20412
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\ <<< Java is BADLY out of date and likely why you are infected. Download the newest version and uninstall all old versions in Add Remove programs.

4) Hackers hide this infection from HJT and we need to see the infection, return here:
C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe <<< rename HJT, call it ian_w.exe, that will work, it will look like this:
C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\ian_w.exe restart the computer and post a new HJT log. Add any comments you think will help.

Thanks...Phil

Phil,

Thanks for your reply. I have read and understood the 'rules'. If possible can we have a go at trying to remove it. I've downloaded Java and will install this as well as carrying out your other instructions this evening. I'll post the results tomorrow morning (UK time).

C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\ian_w.exe restart the computer and post a new HJT log. Add any comments you think will help.Yep...just get me that HJT log with the executable renameed as described in the quote. Keep in mind the five hour time difference, I am Clearwater, Florida EST.

Thanks

Phil,

I've thought about it a bit more and decided that the re-formatting is probably the easiest option. I do not have that many files on the PC and I have backed these up last night.

Tonight, I plan to run the 'Dell PC Restore' function which sounds like it should wipe the disk and return the PC to an 'as delivered' state.

I'll update Java, add a firewall and anti-virus which should hopefully keep me 'clean' in the future.

Thanks for your time. If I have any further problems then I'll start a new thread.
