By the way what is PM? I'm new.

[Shaba]

Hi

PM = private message.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner (http://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/kws/kavwebscan.html). You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
Now click on Scan Settings
In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:

o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:

+ Extended (If available otherwise Standard)

o Scan Options:

+ Scan Archives
+ Scan Mail Bases

Click OK
Now under select a target to scan select My Computer
The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
Now click on the Save as Text button
Save the file to your desktop.
Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.

Post:

- a fresh HijackThis log
- kaspersky report

[javijavi]

Got delayed by the online scanner...

anyway, pls find herebelow the required report as well as the fresh log. Hope I got it right.

Thanks!

Hi

That looks like a false positive.

Let's find out:

Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows (http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html)

Please click this link-->Jotti (http://virusscan.jotti.org/)

When the jotti page has finished loading, click the Browse button and navigate to the following file and click Submit.

C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\speech\wab64.dll

Please post back the results of the scan in your next post.

If Jotti is busy, try the same at Virustotal: http://www.virustotal.com/

[javijavi]

Hi!

Tried uploading the particular file...in fact many times, but failed. Message obtained from Jotti

"The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file"

I can see the file though. It is 1022kb in size.

Pls help!

[javijavi]

My mistake the file is actually 1012kb in size and it's application extension.

[Shaba]

Hi

If you right-click it, choose Properties and Version, what does it say for Owner/Company?

[javijavi]

Hi

I dont really understand what you trying to ask me to do. However pls find below information pertaining to the file obtained from its properties :
Type = Application Extension
Opens With = Unknown application

Other info are :
location = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech
size = 0.98 MB (1,036,288 bytes)
Size on disk = 0.98 MB (1,036,288 bytes)
Created = Today, December 18, 2007, 9:31:30 PM
Modified = Today, December 18, 2007, 9:31:32 PM
Assessed = Today, December 18, 2007
Attributes = Archive

Other files in the "speech" directory is sapi.dll and a "1033" folder which contain a file - spcplui.dll.

[Shaba]

Hi

Ok, maybe no such info.

Try to copy (not move) that file to some other folder and try again if you can upload it to virustotal.

[javijavi]

Sorry, I missed out 3 other files that are also inside the "speech" directory apart from those mentioned earlier :

sapi (a control panel extension file), 152kb
sapisvr (an application file),36kb
svchost (an application file), 1396kb

[javijavi]

HI!,

Tried copying the file to another folder....Failed! It says access denied

[javijavi]

I think I have managed to upload the file to Virus Total to have it analyzed. I renamed the file to 1234.old before doing so and herebelow is the result :

[Shaba]

Hi

Yes it looks like that both are bad, we need samples:

Download suspicious file packer from here (http://www.safer-networking.org/files/sfp.zip)

Unzip it to desktop, open it & paste in the list of files below, press next & it will create an archive (zip/cab file) on desktop

c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\speech\wab64.dll
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\speech\svchost.exe

Go to spykiller (http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?PHPSESSID=d65884362fbc872b70e1a9a9a7e13700&board=1.0)

Press new topic, make threads title "Files for Shaba"
Include to your message a link to here, then attach the cab/zip file to your message and post the topic
If you cant locate it through the browse button just copy/paste the filename and path.

After you have done that, please reply in this thread :)

[javijavi]

Hi Shaba,

I have posted the thread....but I 'm not sure on how to put in link in the thread. Pls advice.

[Shaba]

Hi

That is just fine :)

Download OTMoveIt (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/oldtimer/OTMoveIt.exe) by OldTimer to your Desktop.

Double click OTMoveIt.exe to launch it.
Copy/Paste the contents of the box below into the left hand pane of OTMoveIt.


c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\speech\wab64.dll
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\speech\svchost.exe

Click the Move It button.
The list will be processed and the results will appear in the right hand pane.
If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.
When finished click Exit to exit the programme.
A log C:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles\mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log will be created (where mmddyyyy_hhmmss are numbers giving date and time the log was created) alogn with a fresh HijackThis log.

[javijavi]

i have moved the 2 files together with their directories into C:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles and as you have mentioned a log is created inside this directory as well.

However I dont understand what you want me to do next. Do u want me to post a fresh hijackthis log and attached the above into the spykiller thread? Pls advice

[Shaba]

Hi

Post contents of that OTMoveIt log and a fresh HijackThis log, please :)

[javijavi]

I must inform you that ever since I moved the svchost file out of the directory together with the wab64.dll, I stop getting the threat warning from my AVG everytime I restart the computer.

Is it a good sign? Has the threat been removed completely?

[Shaba]

Hi

"Is it a good sign? Has the threat been removed completely?"

Yes, it is.

Threat is now in OTMoveIt quarantine which will be deleted in final instructions :)

[javijavi]

Hi,

Pls find herebelow the Hijackthis log and followed by the OTMoveIt log :

Hope everything is ok !

[Shaba]

Hi

Well logs look good.

Any issues left?

[javijavi]

Thanks for yr help!...

[Shaba]

Hi

Then you're clean!

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

Looking over your log, it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

As the term conveys, a firewall is an extra layer of security installed onto computers, which restricts access to systems from the outside world. Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. I want you to download a free firewall NOW from one of these excellent vendors:

1) Comodo (http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/)
2) Sunbelt/Kerio (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio-Download.cfm)
3) Agnitum (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php)
4) ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=nav_za) (uncheck ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker during installation if you choose this one)

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

Next we remove all used tools.

Please download OTMoveIt (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/oldtimer/OTMoveIt.exe) and save it to desktop.

Double-click OTMoveIt.exe.
Click the CleanUp! button.
Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.


Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTMoveIt attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

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 re-enable system restore here:

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

Re-enable 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.

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.


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 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 (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:
