A tenacious bit of malware..

[Dr.crispy]

Hi, I was wondering is you could help with a problem that i've been having with malware that has resisted Spybot, Malwarebyte's Antimalware and even Combofix (i know i know,I shouldn't have used it without supervision...)
The problem started with a persistantly red X in the system tray recommending that I install anti-spyware software. The computer also sometimes reset itself with no apparent cause. Initially Task manager was inaccessible as I "wasn't the administrator" (I am) & Spybot was also unresponsive.
I followed the general instructions of others on the forum who have had almost identical problems. I have downloaded HijackThis, RSIT, the latest Java JREs, Immunised with the latest Spybot updates (after editing the registry to allow me to open it), disabled TeaTimer, Updated windows with the latest updates, installed an extra firewall and used Combofix (in safemode, with the windows safety thing, as it was reseting during the Log write) which all seemed to fix the problem. However using Kaspersky's online scanner Brastk.exe still is persisting in the registry. and Malwarebyte's confiming the registry entry/Trojan.Fakealert

Could someone help?

As an aside, I think the culture of altruism shown by the volunteers on this and other fora is really heartwarming, and thanks in advance of any help you can give!

I have a load of logs and can post whichever ones you need!

Thanks

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.
The junk can be tough to remove, so do not expect fast or easy.

Sounds like you have done everything except read the directions? Look to the top of this forum, they are pinned (sticky) there and they are there for you. I also posted "Before you Post" instructions above.

This is just one of the important instructions you will find there:
Do NOT run 'FIXES' before helpers have analyzed the HJT log
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=16806

Making no promises at this point in the operation, if you will read those directions and start me with the required HJT log mentioned in those directions, I will do all I can to help you resolve these issues.

Thanks

Many thanks for your assistance, I have pasted the HJT log below.

Thanks for posting a HJT log, hold any logs you have for a bit longer, I may or may not want to see them?

1) We need first to disable TeaTimer that it doesn't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:
* Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
* If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
* On the left hand side, Click on Tools
* Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
* Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
* Restart your computer.
(leave TT disabled until we finish)

2) Thanks to andymanchesta and anyone else who helped with the fix.

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop
http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.exe

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
Choose your usual account.
Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
(Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
Finally post the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum with a new HijackThis log

3) I would also like a look at your uninstall list.
Open Hijackthis.
Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.
Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.
Click the "Save list..." Button.
Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.
(You may edit out Microsoft, Hotfixes, Security Update for Windows XP,
Update for Windows XP and Windows XP Hotfix to shorten the list)

Thanks

Thanks for returning your information, please read and follow the directions carefully and in the numbered order.

Looking at the uninstall list first, I look for security issues and malware and will not know all of your programs, but you should.

*Hackers are using out of date programs to infect folks more and more, here is a small free tool that lets you know when something needs an update if you are interested:
https://psi.secunia.com/ While PSI runs in the System Tray for realtime notifications, I personally prefer to turn it off in MSConfig and run it from All Programs when I want to do a check.

Adobe Reader 7.1.0 <<< out of date and being exploited
http://www.filehippo.com/download_adobe_reader/

Viewpoint Media Player << I would uninstall this unless you use it
For your information, Viewpoint is installed by aol probably without your knowledge. I suggest you uninstall this resource waster in Add Remove programs.
http://www.greatis.com/appdata/u/v/viewmgr.exe.htm
http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/2005/nov4.php#viewpoint
http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546

The rest look OK as far as I can see.

1) Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

2) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Hi Phil,
Thanks a lot for your help thus far. I followed your instructions and got rid of the AOL spyware and updated Adobe Reader. I also ran ATF as well as the HJT fix for O16. The computer is running well and malwarebyte's scan is clear of infection!

Thanks for returning your information and the feedback. Let's remove SDFix from the computer, it does not update so there is no reason to keep it.

C:\SDFix\ <<< delete that folder and the contents.

Update AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic and scan the system, if all is well at that point, let me know and I will close your topic.


Some good information for you:

If you have combofix installed still, use these instructions:
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.

If you do not have combofix still installed, then:

C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\ <<< delete the folder in red and the contents which will delete the quarantine folder and it's contents.

Right click the Recycle Bin on the Desktop and click Empty Recycle Bin and YES

Follow these instructions to clean infected System Restore files, please note I posted these instructions for you here also:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx

Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot

Turn ON System Restore,
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Just to be sure, post the results of the next antivirus scan.
(unless it is clean)

Thanks
