View Full Version : Amvo.exe
I got a virus called amvo (probably from a USB infection). I had the possible mistake of browsing the solution and followed the steps that I found in the web from a blog. Now the computer seems to be stable, but…
Now my problem is (after following the instructions from the blog) -
a) I do not know if I still have the virus since it is supposed to keep some files in the System Volume and
b) My msconfig window shows it in the list of programs from the startup, and locates it in the WINDOWS\System32 folder as an executable file. How do I delete it from that list?
(My time is 0 GMT, so please excuse me if I do not log back until tomorrow since I need to go)
Here the steps I followed in that blog:
1. I changed the following registries in the registry editor:
(changes meant more characters which I could not include, so please let me know if I should reply with them to you)
2. From the command prompt window, I found the following hidden files:
amvo.exe
n1deiect
usdeiect
amvo1.dll
I changed attributes and deleted them
3. I emptied the recycle bin
An introductory fragment of the Kaspersky log, which I could not include owed to too many characters in the message (Please let me know if I should include it in the next message):

We need first to disable TeaTimer that it doesn't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:
1. Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
2. If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
3. On the left hand side, Click on Tools
4. Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
5. Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
6. Restart your computer.
1. Download combofix from any of these links and save it to Desktop:
Link 1 (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
Link 2 (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
Link 3 (http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe)
**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you (C:\ComboFix.txt). Post that log in your next reply
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.
If you have problems with Combofix usage, see here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix)

Hi
Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
File::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\amvo.exe
Registry::
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\~\Browser Helper Objects\{6AF23A73-5E71-E854-7BB7-05951AE25391}]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer\run]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon\notify\winmbw32]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\amva]
Save this as "CFScript"
Then drag the CFScript into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below.
http://users.pandora.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/CFScript.gif
This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply together with a new HijackThis log.
Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply again.
Here the Combofix log:

Thanks again
Hi
That looks good :)
Still problems?
Hello,
The problem is that since some registries were created to call amvo.exe from the Windows startup, the msconfig utlility shows that amvo.exe is one of the files which it tries to load when the machine starts, thus it is in the startup list. I unchecked it from the msconfig utility but then every time I start my machine it tells me that the System startup in in selective mode. If I do the opposite, and check amvo.exe so that the msconfig is in its original mode, then it tries to find amvo and it shows me a message telling me that amvo cannot be found. So I have this window opening every time I start the computer.
My poor guess would be that there are still registries which should be changed. Any clue.
Thanks again for the help.
Hi
See here (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_msconfig.htm),
Stop the Selective Startup Screen:
Hello,
So far it seems to have worked. There is however one strange thing: I still see something in the registries related to amvo.exe.
By seeing the Startup list I still see that amvo is called by the System on its start up (path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\amvo.exe).
And in the registries, I still see one with the name amva (yes, with an "a" instead of an "o"), type REG_SZ. Which calls this amvo.exe in system32.
This is the location of the registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
I tried to do what you indicated in the link, but I did not have an option in the Startup tab as "Restore Startup Programs ". So I could not restore anything and then this stays as I mention.
My guess is that I should erase that registry. I will wait for your answer.
Thanks again for all this help.
Hi
Please post then a fresh HijackThis log :)
Hello,
Hijack this found the registry of amvo. Here the log file:

Thanks again.
Hi
Yes it did :)
Any issues left?
Hi,
Thanks a lot for the help. It seems to be fine now.
Where should I donate? is it okay through the spybot window?
Thanks a lot for all the time dedicated
Hi
Yes, it's fine :)
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) Online Armor (http://www.tallemu.com/online_armor_free.html)
3) Sunbelt/Kerio (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio-Download.cfm)
4) Agnitum (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php)
5) 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.
Remove MS Java and install Sun Java, see (http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/howto-21.html)
Update Adobe Reader
It looks like your version of Adobe Reader is out of date and you're vulnerable for infections.
Please download the newest version here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_servefile.html?option=full&order=1&type=&language=English&platform=WinXPSP2&esdcanbeused=0&esdcanhandle=0&hasjavascript=1&dlm=nos
Install it, then go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any older versions that may remain.
Next we remove all used tools.
Please download OTMoveIt2 (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/oldtimer/OTMoveIt2.exe) and save it to desktop.
Double-click OTMoveIt2.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 OTMoveIt2 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 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:
Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial49.html)
Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety
MVPS Hosts file (http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
Comodo BOCLEAN (http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.html) <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
Winpatrol (http://www.winpatrol.com/) <= Download and install the free version of Winpatrol. a tutorial for this product is located here:
Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software (http://www.winpatrol.com/features.html)
Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info/index.php) <--- where you can make difference!
The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.
Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place (http://castlecops.com/postlite7736-.html)
Happy surfing and stay clean! :bigthumb:
