Exposure to Hupigon/Packer.Krunchy.A - Help please

[RiceTea]

I did follow the procedure - started in safe mode, run a Spybot scan: Clean
Next I restarted in normal mode and installed HijackThis. Here is the log file of the system scan. HijackThis.exe was renamed to RiceTea.exe before installation.

We rename HJT for hidden Vundo trojan, I see no evidence of that item? In fact, this HJT log appears to be clean, what makes you think you have a problem?

See the information in this link:

If you are/were infected, you should have this information:

The Trojan dropper may also install PWS:Win32/Hupigon, a plugin that logs keystrokes and steals passwords. Win32/Hupigon may support other malicious plugins as well.

It is best to use an up-to-date antivirus scanner or the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to detect a Win32/Hupigon infection.
Update AVG and run a system scan, let me know what it finds.

Then run this tool and let me know the results:

Thanks a lot for looking at my scan and for advice! I did run right now a complete scan with AVG, which found nothing but 4 tracking cookies (2xivwbox and 2xwebtrends). These were moved to the Virus Vault and then deleted.
Next, I did run the MS Tool as suggested, which found nothing. To add to this, I did yesterday a complete scan with the Kapersky online scanner, which found nothing. Not to forget that Malwarebytes´s Anti-Malware found nothing as well.
I suppose that´s quite remarkable given that I did run software on this machine, which was found at VirusTotal.com to be infected by 10 out of 20 scanners, giving it names ranging from Hupigon.... to Infostealer.gam

Anyhow, I´m glad I´m clean (I am clean? Please confirm) and I will be a lot more careful in the future. My "there are no viruses"-Apple attitude is definitely a thing of the past. Once again, thanks a lot!


I just noted that sometimes you recommend this rename-rerun routine and I thought I could save some time anyways.

Thanks for the feedback, I suppose we could run scan after scan to find nothing, I would believe your computer is clean:bigthumb: Here is information to help you keep it that way.
