Hi All, with the newest update spybot found virtumonde.sci and removed the one regestry entry. Paranoid as I am I went to safe mode and checked again with everything being clean. Can you please check out my hijack this log to see if it is indeed clean. I have read that it likes to hide in other places. Also, when spybot boots on start up and askes to temove temp files (115) and I agre it says that it cant because the files are in use, even when I first boot up my comp. Is that normal? Any help would be great. Thanks again.

Hello and welcome to Safer Networking.
My name is km2357 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.
I will be giving you a series of instructions that need to be followed in the order in which I give them to you.
If for any reason you do not understand an instruction or are just unsure then please do not guess, simply post back with your questions/concerns and we will go through it again.
Please do not start another thread or topic, I will assist you at this thread until we solve your problems.
Lastly the fix may take several attempts and my replies may take some time but I will stick with it if you do the same.
I will be back as soon as possible with your first instructions!
As for your question about the temp files and SpyBot, yes that's normal when either Windows or one of your programs installed on your computer is using the temp files when the computer boots up, hence their "in use" status. :)
Step # 1: Remove Hijackthis Entries
Run HijackThis
Click on the Scan button
Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)
Close all open windows and browsers/email, etc...
Click on the "Fix Checked" button
When completed, close the application.
Step # 2: Make an uninstall list using HijackThis
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:
1. Start HijackThis
2. Click on the Config button
3. Click on the Misc Tools button
4. Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.
5. Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad here on your next reply.
In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:
1. Uninstall List
2. A fresh HiJackThis Log

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. In the uninstall list there is an entry called oobeflagnetscape0. I contacted the company and later gateway. This program is something they run before the computer is shipped to make sure everything is installed properly. A few days later there was a fix to remove this at the gateway website and it still won't remove it. I just decided it let it be. Here are the lists. Thanks again.

Hi again, this infected file has to be a false positive, I'm guessing. It's spysweper 5.0 exe.
Should of got rid of it ages ago. What do you think? Comp has been working just fine with no surprizes. I'm wondering if the spybot reg entery was a false positive as well? Any case better safe than sorry. The adobe reader install went fine didn't see that picture software option just a google bar ofer. Also installed acrobat which I removed. File sharing gives me the shivers. Thanks for your help with this.

If you no longer use SpySweeper, you can uninstall it from your computer. Go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall Spy Sweeper and Spy Sweeper Core to remove SpySweeper.
It's possible that what Spybot found was a false positive or it could have been a leftover registry entry. Do you remember the path of the registry entry and of virtumonde.sci that Spybot found? If so, post it back here.
Let's take a closer look at the file Kasperky found to make sure whether it is or isn't a false positive:
Step # 1 Upload Files
Go to Jotti (http://virusscan.jotti.org)
Copy the following line into the white textbox:
C:\sspsetup1_.exe
Click Submit.
Please post the results of this scan to this thread.
If Jotti is busy, Go to VirusTotal (http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html) and scan the file(s) there.

Sorry what I ment to say was spysweeper.exe not spybot.exe
Is there a .txt file (or another word-document type extension) in the .zip file. If there is you can post the contents of it here in your next post. If not, that's ok. If it was something bad, more likely than not either MalwareBytes or Kaspersky would have picked up on it more.
Let's see what the scan results from that spysweeper file tell us.

Based on the results of the scan, I'd like for you to run another tool that will help get rid of anything that's malicious on your computer and help me determine if there is more to get rid of.
First, delete the C:\sspsetup1_.exe file.
Step # 1: Download and Run ComboFix
Download ComboFix from one of these locations:
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)
* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/RcAuto1.gif
Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/whatnext.png
Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include C:\ComboFix.txt and a fresh HiJackThis Log in your next reply.
Use multiple posts if you can't fit everything into one post.

Before I download combofix I was loking for that .txt file for you to look at in the recovery folder for spybot and it turns out that it isn't a .txt file after all.
In any case I use this computer a lot for freelance and took some time to read the install info for combofix on the beeping computer web site. Also I took some time to read some other forum posts. It says that at boot up I will get a prompt to reboot in that recovery console to fix any issues that combofix needs to change. Is that permanant or can I disable that? Also it says that I need to turn off any anti-virus, spyware detector and firewalls for the process to run properly. Well I not too sure I want to disable my firewall when it needs to download that file from microsoft. Also does combofix fix what it can and notify what it cant? I also noticed that it removed orphan regestry files, did I read that right? Am I being paranoid?
I know you are trying to help me and everything has been smooth. The point is with the warnings that appear that nobody would be responsable if something happens is ok it's just that like I said at the begining of the post I have freelance work right now and it would not be good if somehow something happened. Is there a backup I can do before I apply combofix?
Sorry for the long post. I know you are making doubbly sure my system is clean, I just get bad luck at the wrong time....a lot. Any reasurance or advice would be great.
It says that at boot up I will get a prompt to reboot in that recovery console to fix any issues that combofix needs to change. Is that permanant or can I disable that?
I can have you remove Recovery Console near the end of the fix, but it would be best to keep it on your computer incase you ever need it. If you get infected again and something happens to your computer and you can't boot into normally, a helper could have you use Recovery Console to help fix your computer or get it to where you can at least boot into Normal mode and continue from there. And you cannot boot directly into Recovery Console, when you have it installed and you turn your computer on a choice will appear of whether to boot into Recovery Console or boot into normal Windows. The choice will be up for 2-3 seconds and should default to Windows everytime.
Also it says that I need to turn off any anti-virus, spyware detector and firewalls for the process to run properly. Well I not too sure I want to disable my firewall when it needs to download that file from microsoft.
ComboFix just needs an active Internet connection to download and install Recovery Console, it doesn't need one to run. If you want, I can show you another way to download and install the Recovery Console. Let me know if you want to do it that way.
Also, ComboFix will run with Anti-Virus, spyware detectors, and firewalls running. Its just they may interfere with ComboFix when its running so its best to disable them. Since ComboFix doesn't require an active Internet connection to run, you can disconnect your computer from the Internet, disable your protection tools, then run ComboFix. Once its done, you can turn everything back on and then reconnect to the Net.
Also does combofix fix what it can and notify what it cant? I also noticed that it removed orphan regestry files, did I read that right? Am I being paranoid?
Yes, ComboFix will list out what it has deleted and will list out files, folders, and registry entries for me to look over to see if I need you to delete them. Yes, ComboFix removes orphaned registry entries. This is perfectly safe, no harm comes to your computer when these are removed.
Is there a backup I can do before I apply combofix?
If you want to do a backup before running ComboFix, the best way to do that would be to either burn files/folders you want to backup to a CD/DVD-ROM disc or transfer them to a Flash drive/USB Stick.

sorry for all the questions I cant afford to miss time not working but I also want to get this straightend out. I ran adaware and it found 2 regestry files and something in my doc. folder. That was a first, also I did an update of spybot this morning and there were 2 updates from 10-22. I know I had checked for updates everyday since I first got this virtumonde issue so even though I'm a lil' nervous "not wanting to see what it finds" I'll do it tonight. Can you give me directios on how to download that recovery console prior? Also I'm guessing I can do a system restore if anything gets goofy. Thanks for your patience.
Yes, you can do a System Restore if need be.
Downloading and installing Recovery Console instructions:
Go to Microsoft's website => http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994
Select the download that's appropriate for your Operating System
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/KB310994.gif
Download the file & save it as it's originally named, next to ComboFix.exe.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/RC1-4.gif
Now close all open windows and programs, including all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
Drag the setup package onto ComboFix.exe and drop it.
Follow the prompts to start ComboFix and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Recovery Console.
At the next prompt, click 'No'.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/RC_whatnext.gif
When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.
Let me see that report in your next post.

I'm sorry but I downloaded the widowsxp-kb310994-sp2-home-bootdisk-enu
and combofix. My question is on the first post on how to use combofix it states to hit yes once the console is installed and the last post you sent it states to hit no. I'm sorry I want to make sure I do this right.
Right now all we are doing is installing the Recovery Console. Go ahead and follow the instructions from my last post and click No when it asks if you want to scan for malware.
A report will show up on your screen after you hit No. Post that report back here for me to look over.

Don't worry about it, you're doing just fine. :)
The log shows that the Recovery Console was installed succesfully. Now you can run ComboFix by double-clicking on ComboFix.exe and following the prompts as they appear. Post back the resulting ComboFix Log and a fresh HiJackThis Log. Any questions let me know.

ok I ran combofix with no problems but something that struck me odd even though I disabled Norton internet security it still popped up a warning about the combofix script. I had to say allow it quite a few times. Also I had spy sweeper on for the first minute or so untill I realized what was going on and turned that off. In any case here is the post.

Both the ComboFix and your latest HJT logs look good. I see no problems with either of them. :)
Let me know how your computer is running and what you want to do about Recovery Console, if you want to keep it or not. My recommendation is to keep it in case you need it in the future, but we can remove it if you wish.

First off thanks for your help and patience:cool:. The comp is running fine:present: I would like if possible to remove combofix only because it's an executable on my desktop and the kids can get a little inquisitive and I can see there being an issue. Can you show me how to remove both combofix and the console for referance. At startup the console is up for less than a second so it's not a bother, (just in case) thanks again for all your help. I'm glad you didn't find anything.
To remove ComboFix, do the following:
Go to Start > Run - type in ComboFix /u & click OK
Since you want the removal instructions for Recovery Console for referance sake, I would copy and print them out, so you'll have them nearby when/if you remove the Recovery Console. If you have any questions about the steps, be sure to ask. :) :
Reconfigure Windows XP to show hidden files:
To enable the viewing of Hidden files follow these steps:
Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.
Double-click on the My Computer icon.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
After the new window appears select the View tab.
Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders.
Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.
Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types.
Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.
Press the Apply button and then the OK button and shutdown My Computer.
Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.
Be sure to re-hide your files once you are finished cleaning your computer.
Assumes that C:\ is BootDrive
This file must be present - C:\Boot.bak.
It is a backup of the machine's previous Boot.ini. Do not proceed if it's not present
1) Right click on current copy of C:\Boot.ini & select 'Properties'. Then remove the file's 'Read-Only' attibute
2) Rename C:\Boot.ini to C:\Boot.old (Do not delete it)
3) Rename C:\Boot.bak to C:\Boot.ini
4) Right click on the new C:\Boot.ini & select 'Properties'. Then make the file 'Read-Only'
5) Reboot the machine. You will note that the Recovery Console is no longer an option on the Boot Menu
6) Delete the folder - C:\CmdCons
7) Delete C:\Boot.old
WARNING - Failure to strictly adhere to the above instructions may result in an unbootable machine.
=======================
Since there are no other problems, you are good to go. :)
Please take the time to read my All Clean Post.
Please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
Make sure the C:\ drive is selected and click OK. If your computer's Hard Drive is not located on C:, change it to the correct drive letter then click OK.
Select the More options tab
Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created..
Clearing your restore points is not something you should do on a regular basis. Normally, this process only needs to be done after clearing out an infestation of malware.
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 asks you if 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.
Set correct settings for files that should be hidden in Windows XP
Click Start > My Computer > Tools menu (at top of page) > Folder Options > View tab.
Under "Hidden files and folders" if necessary select Do not show hidden files and folders.
If unchecked please checkHide protected operating system files (Recommended)
If necessary check "Display content of system folders"
If necessary Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
Click OK
Use An Antivirus Software and Keep It Updated - It is very important that your computer has an antivirus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. It is imperative that you update your antivirus software at least once a day. 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 Update Site Frequently It is important that you visit Microsoft Updates (http://update.microsoft.com/) regularly. This will ensure your computer has 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 add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. An article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:
Computer Safety on line Anti Malware (http://forum.malwareremoval.com/viewtopic.php?p=54#54)
Use the hosts file: Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate web pages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain web pages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional. Download mvps hosts file (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial HERE (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial51.html) If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
Click the start button on the task bar at the bottom of your screen Click run In the dialog box, type services.msc hit enter, then locate dns client Highlight it, then doubleclick it. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. Click ok..
Use an alternative instant messenger program.Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc/) and Miranda IM (http://www.miranda-im.com/) These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
Please read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place (http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showtopic=5931)
Please read Understanding Spyware, Browser Hijackers, and Dialers (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial41.html)
Please read Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial82.html)
If you are using Internet Explorer, please consider using an alternate browser: Mozilla's Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox) or
Opera (http://www.opera.com/download/).
If you decide to use either FireFox or Opera, it is very important that you keep them up to date and check frequently for updates of the browser of your choice.
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.
If your computer was infected by a website, a program, IM, MSN, or p2p, check this site because it is Time To Fight Back (http://spyware-free.us/2006/01/time-to-fight-back.html). Follow these steps and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
Here's a good website to read about Malware prevention:

If your computer is running slow, click here (http://www.malwareremoval.com/tutorials/runningslowly.php) for instructions on how to help speed up your computer.
Good luck!
