View Full Version : Virtumonde/Smitfraud Returns (99?)
Spybot S&D and Windows Live OneCare discovered some files associated with Virtumonde/Smitfraud, I thought they had cleaned the mess sufficiently but now every few hours OneCare quarantines another trojan. I ran the KasperSpy Online Scanner tonight and it found "C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll Infected: Trojan.Win32.Patched.bb". As I am uncertain how to handle this result, I figure I better ask the experts. Here is my HJT log... Please post any help at your earliest convenience.

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.
Make sure you read and follow the directions, anything else will slow the process and waste both of our time. I suggest you keep this computer offline except when troubleshooting, the junk may download more. If you have any tool I use, delete it and download it new from the link I provide. Read and follow the directions carefully, the tools will not work unless you do.
I can see leftovers from both infections you mention and your feedback indicates hidden malware is likely there. If there is a downloader it can and will download more junk when you are online, so follow those instructions. We need to search first.
http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php <<< download Smitfraudfix from here and follow ONLY these directions.
Search:
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
Note: process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool". It is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

Post only the C:\rapport.txt

Thanks for returning your information, Smitfraudfix found the infection and it also found this:
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» hosts
hosts file corrupted !
After we clean, in the next C:\rapport.txt, there may be a very large hosts file (items starting with 127.0.0.1) and I do not need to see it. Edit (remove) it from the C:\rapport.txt before you post it.
Clean:
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infected files.
You will be prompted: Do you want to clean the registry ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.
The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found): Replace infected file ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to restore a clean file.
A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
Optional:
To restore Trusted and Restricted site zone, select 3 and hit Enter.
You will be prompted: Restore Trusted Zone ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to delete trusted zone.
Note, if you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install the protection both afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and re-protect all items. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.
Post the C:\rapport.txt and a new HJT log.
Describe how the computer is running now.
Thanks

Shutdown was a little slower than normal and Firefox and the associated svchost seems to be using more cpu/ram than normal but other than that, the computer is acting fine.

Kaspersky Online Scan (KOS)
Threat name: 4
Infected objects: 33 <<< I don't know what these are? I have no idea why the log is now showing those, it always does?
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\SmitfraudFix\ <<< delete that folder and contents.
Make sure you can view all files and folders:
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html
Use one or more of these free online scanners to scan the files in red. Delete them if they are bad.

C:\Program Files\Compaq\mIRC62\mirc.exeC:\Program Files\RaidenFTPD\raidenftpdsvcinstaller.exe
C:\Program Files\RaidenFTPD\rftpdservice.exe
Run KOS again to see if you can show me the 33 "infected items" I have no idea what they are.
Thanks
Jotti's malware scan
F-Secure Anti-Virus Found Trojan.Win32.Patched.bb
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Found Trojan.Win32.Patched.bb
Panda Antivirus Found W32/Patched.D
Sophos Antivirus Found Troj/User32Hk-A
I'm unable to manually delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll (which accounts for 28 of the 33 infections). Is this a needed system file or should i try again in safe mode perhaps?
As for the mIRC client and the FTP server, some scanners consider these
'risk ware' I don't think they are actually infected (not.a.virus?) but I will remove them and reinstall.
Spybot S&D is v1.6.0.31 updated 8/27 and immunization is armed.
On a side note I've noticed that the clock in the taskbar has switched to 24 hour mode. not a big deal but maybe a result of the hijack?
Thanks so much for your patience.

Thanks for the feedback, that file is no doubt infected, I want to collect some information before we proceed. Be very careful in the areas you are going to, just look, do not delete anything.
1) Do you have a Windows XP Operating System CD?
2) Click MyComputer > click Local Disk (C: ) > look for this folder > C:\I386 Open that folder and scroll to this file > USER32.DLL
Hold your mouse over it and it should say Windows XP USER API Client DLL (that is a spare file if we need it, we do not want to remove it from there but if need be we can make a copy of it).
Close that folder, I took you there so you will know where that file is, let me know that you located it.
3) Click MyComputer > click Local Disk (C: ) > click WINDOWS FOLDER > click SYSTEM32 folder Find the user32.dll file, if you mouse over it, the valid folder should have the same description as the one in the C:\I386. What I am looking for is another folder that would be beside or very near the valid one.
It may look like this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dllC:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
You can right click and click Properties and investigate.
Let me know what you find, do not rush and be very careful. All I can think is the hackers put another file there or they infected the valid file. The file size for the valid one should be: 564 KB's
Thanks
http://www.ehow.com/how_4483170_time-regular-time-windows-xp.html
1) I don't have an XP disc here but I'm sure I could borrow one if we need it.
2) I've located the file and inspected the file
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\user32.dll
3) I've located and inspected the file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\user32.DLL
Properties are the same on both 565 KB / Windows XP USER API Client DLL
Loooked around and ran a search on C:\, I don't find anything else.
I've taken the liberty of running the i386\user32.dll through Kaspersky and it came up clean.

Thanks for investigating for me, this is a bit of a puzzle. Besides the fact KOS is flagging that file:
File name / Threat name / Threats count
C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll/C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
Infected: Trojan.Win32.Patched.bb 28
and the way you posted it confuses me also, if that was copied direct from the KOS log? That is why I had you look for a file with that pathway. Besides the fact this item is being flagged, do you have any other issues with the computer.
Let's have combofix take a look, please follow these directions carefully.
A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.
Remove any old copies of combofix before you proceed.
Thanks to sUBs and anyone else who helped with this fix.
It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop.
Download ComboFix from Here (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe) to your Desktop
Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall
Post the combofix log and a new HJT log. Post also any information I requested above.

...and the way you posted it confuses me
Yes that was copied from the KOS log.
Besides the fact this item is being flagged, do you have any other issues with the computer.
Honestly, no the computer feels fine. Again thanks for your patience, this is a head scratcher. Here are the logs you requested.

Damn, just realized that Combofix was ran from a sub folder of my desktop!
I'm sure it's frustrating when people ask for your help and then don't follow directions, should I go ahead and run it again from the desktop?

I'm sure it's frustrating when people ask for your help and then don't follow directions,
The frustrating thing is realizing it only takes one mistake and the computer can be rendered worthless. I am glad we ran combofix because it did find some Vundo leftovers in Other Deletions
but the most important thing is it repaired the file we were having trouble with:
Infected C:\WINDOWS\system32\user32.dll hex repaired
What I would like you to do is run combofix again where it is and post that log.
Thanks

That looks good, before we remove combofix, would you check to make sure KOS is no longer flagging that item.
Thanks
KOS says it's clean. Any further steps I should take?

Remove combofix from the computer like this:
Click START then RUN
Now type or copy Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
