View Full Version : Stuck and not sure what to do next

I am stuck and don't know what to do next with this system behaviour. I was able to run HiJackThis one time but cannot get it to run long enough to make a new log. I do have Winpatrol running and can get process information using a sysinternals application. I have some scripts to enable the taskmanager and regedit keys but they get reset within a couple of seconds. I have Kaspersky 7.something.125 installed but it is getting shutdown or made invisible.

It all started with another computer getting the antivirus xp 2008 infestation which Mcafee identified as a W32/Sality.Ag virus. But that was not enough protection and I installed a new harddrive and saved the infected one for data extraction. In trying to recover that unit I have transferred the sality to this machine where it was able to get around the Kaspersky. I found the method of infection is with a autorun.inf which installs through a pif file. It ends up with 2 exe files running from the locals temp directory. Killing these files does not seem to do anything. The system stays off and is disconnected since I am positive there is some "backdoor like activity" going on. Without further ado let me introduce my crippled computer...

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.

First some inforamtion for you.

1) I have no idea what this is myself.

2) No matter what McAfee said, W32/Sality.Ag is NOT the antivirus xp 2008 infestation, here is information:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=W32%2FSality.Ag+&btnG=Google+Search
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-antivirus-xp-2008
I remove the second rouge program quite a bit, but because the other infects so many files, I do not try to remove it, suggesting reformat instead. I tell you this because if it turns out to be Sality that will be my suggestion.

3) Do you know this item: C:\dnet\dnetc.exe Reason I asked if conflicting opinions on Google and if is a safe program you need, I don't want to remove it. It is flagged as bad by my tool, have a look at the Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dnetc.exe&btnG=Google+Search

4) Likely a trojan is at work because of this:
O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html#O7Diag
Make me aware if you had anything to do with setting this policy.

Now that I have given you something to think about, let's start the cleanup with MBAM

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
* Please post contents of that file & a new HJT log in your next reply.

Thanks
