Hello and happy new year.

I've been infected with Virtumonde, Virtumonde.generic, and SmitFraud. They are pernicious buggers: I have used both spybot and symantec to clean up my machine, but the infections have always come back.

I have identified a dll file in my system32 folder, which is associated with the infection, but I can't remove it manually because it is associated with the explorer.exe and winlogon.exe processes.

The hijackthis log is below.

Thank you so much for your help and patience.

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.

I apologize for the wait, volunteers are swamped at all forums with infected computers. If you have resolved your issues, please post to let me know so I can close this topic.

1) Please DO NOT ENABLE Spybot S&D TeaTimer while we work together.

2)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

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
See this Link (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html) for programs that need to be disabled and instruction on how to disable them.
Remember to re-enable them when we're done.

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://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c30/ken545/RcAuto1.gif

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c30/ken545/whatnext.jpg

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply along with a New Hijackthis log.

*If there is no internet connection when Combofix has completely finished then restart your computer to restore back the connections.

Tutorial if needed
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

3) Post also an 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.

1. I have read the entire "before you post" thread (and had done already). Teatimer has been disabled.
2. I will keep the computer offline except when working with you or checking for your replies.
3. I do not expect fast or easy, and I very much appreciate your help and patience.
4. I have turned off Windows firewall and Symantec Antivirus. I turned off the Symantec autoprotect temporarily. Should I turn I use the "permanent" option?

5. Here are the three logs you asked for -- combofix, hijackthis, and hijackthis uninstall.

From the looks of the combofix report, you removed a good bit of the infection but did not get it all. Virtumonde can morph and recreate as you are aware.

c:\windows\system32\imvtlvvq.gti <<< tell me what this file is. If you don't know, make sure you can view all files and folders:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html
scan the file with at least one of these free onlines scanners and post the results:
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://www.virustotal.com/

Let's proceed like this:

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
Save it to your Desktop. Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

*Cleaning Prefetch may result in a few slow starts until the folder is repopulated:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Gaining-Speed-Empty-Prefetch-XP.html

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

* 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.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Tutorial if needed:
http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/tutorials/2282-malwarebytes-anti-malware-mbam.html

How is the computer running now?

Thanks

This can be done as time permits, but it is important.

I was pretty sure it was associated with the virus because of the modified/created date.

I am also suspicious of this file, in the same folder, which appeared today just about the time I ran Combofix: wpa.dbl

But it seems clean, according to VirusTotal:

Should I delete one or both before proceeding?

Thank you

pskelley

2009-01-06, 23:42

c:\windows\system32\wpa.dbl <<< this one when I Google returns this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=wpa.dbl&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
Which appears to be a valid Windows file as you can see.
See this: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,1151566,00.asp

I personally would be nervous about deleting that file.

As you can also see here:
2008-12-22 23:44 . 2009-01-06 15:11 2,206 --a------ c:\windows\system32\wpa.dbl

imvtlvvq.gti <<< has been on the computer since 12/21 and it appears to be bad, the other one appears to be valid which is how the scans report it.
2008-12-21 16:42 . 2008-12-21 16:42 302,592 --a------ c:\windows\system32\imvtlvvq.gti

imvtlvvq.gti <<< I suggest you delete this file ONLY, then complete the balance of the instructions.

Thanks for checking.

I deleted the .gti file and not the .dbl file. Then I followed your instructions with ATF Cleaner and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

Here is the log from Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware:

[b]Once we have successfully cleaned my system, I would like to ask you some questions about the programs you pointed out as dangerous. Thank you again.

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.

Clean the System Restore files like this:

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.

Update MBAM and scan to be sure we missed none of the junk, there is no need to post a clean scan result.
(MBAM is yours to keep if you wish, update it and run it once a month or so)

Update Symantec and scan the system, to be sure it is running right and scanning clean. If you have problems with the program, contact tech support for instructions.

If all is well at this point, let me know and I will close the topic.

everything seems to be clean, and I figured out the questions I'd wanted to ask you. Except these two:

1. Is there anything I should do in the next week or two to make sure that my computer is genuinely clean?

and (though I know this is a little bit out of your jurisdiction) can you direct me to a list of things I can do to prevent identity theft after having had spyware on my machine? (E.g., change credit card passwords.)

Thank you so much for your help.

First question:
as far as I am concerned the computer is clean, the word "genuinely" means nothing to me in this context. You can run scans forever and each will find junk according to the database they maintain, but we have destroyed the ability to execute. If you want scans to run, look at the list I provided at the end.

Second question:
Start here >> http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10451
Google for the information you want, for instance "prevent identity theft"
returns 671,000 possible sites for information.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=prevent+identity+theft+&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
