View Full Version : Having Problems with Popups and Other Wierd Things
Hi! I'm getting popups in IE as well as getting blocked from your site and the HijackThis site. I also have seen Virtumonde and Smitfraud, but those have supposedly been removed by Spybot S&D 1.6.0. It was also turning off my MS Firewall, but that seems to have stopped after the scan. Here is my HijackThis log. Any help would be appreciated!

Another interesting development just occurred. The computer spontaneously rebooted and is now stuck on the Windows welcome screen, and can't move past it. The only thing I've done since the HijackThis log was to unplug my ethernet cable to disconnect the infected computer from the internet. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
Not sure what was going on earlier, but was able to reboot normal just now. Still have ethernet cable disconnected, though. Posting from a different computer.
Hello jchamp,
Welcome to Safer Networking.
Please read Before You Post (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)
That said, All advice given by anyone volunteering here, is taken at your own risk.
While best efforts are made to assist in removing infections safely, unexpected stuff can happen.
We have noticed that many people seeking help from us are coming with infections contracted from the use of P2P programs.
Because of this, we changed our malware forum's policy on the use of P2P file sharing programs.
If your helper detects the presence of such programs on your computer he/she will ask you to remove them. Help will be withdrawn should you not agree to their removal.
If we clean your computer of infection, and you return to us a short time later with an infection contracted by the use of P2P programs, volunteer analysts will refuse their help.
We do not ask you to do this without reason.
P2P (File Sharing ) programs form a direct conduit onto your computer, their security measures are easily circumvented, and Malware writers are increasingly exploiting them to spread their wares onto your computer. Further to that, if your P2P program is not configured correctly you may be sharing more files than you realize. There have been cases where people's Passwords, Address Books and other personal, private, and financial details have been exposed to the file sharing network by a badly configured program.
Many of the programs come bundled with other unwanted programs, but even the ones free of any bundled software are not safe to use.
This article from InfoWorld illustrates the dangers of a poorly configured P2P program.
http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/09/06/...ID-theft_1.html (http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/09/06/Seattle-man-arrested-for-p-to-p-ID-theft_1.html)
When you use them you are downloading software from an unknown source directly onto your computer, bypassing your Firewall and Anti-Virus software. Hardly surprising then that many of these Downloads are being targeted to carry infections.
uTorrent <--Uninstall this via the Add Remove Programs and then post a new HJT log please
First, thanks for helping me.
I tried to uninstall via add/remove programs, but it didn't show up there. So I deleted the utorrent.exe file. Does this take care of it? Or are there more files I need to delete to make it happen. I notice that it still shows up on the HJThis log. Please advise.

Things are looking sooooo much better, just a few items to remove and you should be good to go.
You need to enable windows to SHOW ALL FILES AND FOLDERS
Instructions Here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html)
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{dafd0c78-181b-11db-915b-0040ca91ec91}]
Copy the entire contents inside the Quote box and Paste it into Notepad ( this will only work with Notepad ) name the file Regfix.reg and in the drop down box, save it as All Files. Save it to your desktop. Then Rightclick on the Regfix.reg file and click on Merge, when it asks you to merge with the Registry, say yes.
If you saved the file correctly it should look like this http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c30/ken545/reg.jpg
c:\windows\system32\ffkuz.dll<--Delete this file, let me know if it would not delete
Go to your Control Panel and click on the Java Icon ( Looks like a little coffee cup) and click on About and make sure you have Update6...11 if not click on the update tab and update it, the older versions of Java let some of this bad stuff in.
Everything else looks fine,:bigthumb:how are things running now???
Hey! Thanks again so much for your help. I'm definitely going to make a contribution to the site. It's the least I can do for all the help this has been.
I updated the registry, deleted the ffkuz.dll file and updated my Java. So I think I'm back up to speed. Everything seems normal so far.
Anything else I need to do, or do you think I'm done?
Hello,
Glad things are running better for you, just some clean up to do.
Regfix.reg <--- Drag it to the trash
ATF Cleaner <-- Yours to keep, run it now and then to clean out the clutter.
Malwarebytes <-- Yours to keep also, check for updates and run a scan now and then.
Hijackthis <---Your call, hopefully you won't need it again, if you do you can redownload it
Combofix <---Is not a general cleaning tool, just run it with supervision or you can bork your system
Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z176/EPL47/CF_Cleanup.png
When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"
The above procedure will:
Delete the following:
ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
VundoFix backups, if present
The C:\Deckard folder, if present
The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
Reset the clock settings.
Hide file extensions, if required.
Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
Reset System Restore.
How did I get infected in the first place ? Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.
Tutorial for System Restore (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html) <-- Do this first to prevent yourself from being reinfected.

Dslreports (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10002)
Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster, you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot.
Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community
Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6 (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/)
Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.
Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.
Spyware Guard (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html) It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.
IE-Spyad (http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,23332-order,1-page,1-c,antispywaretools/description.html)
IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
Firefox 3 (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
Safe Surfn

Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad I could help.
