Hi all,

I have McAfee and spy bot guarding my system but something seems to have gotten through the net. Initially mcafee jumped into action on "nod64" I think it was, it was only there for a second. And I denied requests with spybot when nod 32 was asking to change the registry.

Mcafee, spybot and adaware all scan clean but malwarebytes shows this...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\Nod32 Service (Backdoor.Bot) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully

But this entry reappears instantly, even when deleted by hand

It was originally linked to cmd.exe, so I've edited the reg value (just incase that helps )

I've tried many things to try and resolve this

cwshredder, fxagentB, smitfraud, f-sdbot and many scans (all of which were in safe mode)
I even had a look with autoruns and killed everything except antivirus processes and still it persists.

I've searched all over the net but the only info I can find is that nod32 service is a bad thing, not how to sort it out. So if you could please offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Here's the log....

that 04 (Nod32) is just a leftover registry entry. you can select it in hjt:

first disable tea timer so it wont go nuts:
1. Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
2. If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
3. On the left hand side, Click on Tools
4. Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
5. Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
6. Restart your computer.


start HJT, click the "Scan" button. check the items below, close any open windows, then click "Fixed checked"

Thanks for the reply, seems quite simple (and to think I've been worrying about it!)

It does seem as if Spybot was stopping it getting deleted (which I suppose is it's job). Malware bytes now scans clean too.

I re-enabled teatimer and the entry came back, should I just leave teatimer off?

Thanks again for the repsonse

hi,

Your welcome. the entry is showing in the hjt log after you used hjt to remove it.
If so recheck the 04 line again in hjt and reboot machine. Then rescan and post a new hjt log.

hi,

just to be clear if I 'fix checked' whilst tea timer is off the entries stay gone (even after a restart) as soon as I turn teatimer back on they come back.

I've tried:
running HJT >'fix selected'>restart>rescan (gone until I re-enable teatimer)
running HJT >'fix selected'> no restart>rescan (gone until I re-enable teatimer)

Tea timer just likes that entry for some reason ;) or I somehow need to clear it's 'cache'

thanks

hi,

Iam not familiar with tea timer.
Lets see if this work: but first disable tea timer like before.

Open Notepad and copy the contents of the following box to a new file.



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]
"Nod32 Service"-


Save As: fixit.reg to your desktop and Save As Type: change to:All Files
locate the fixit.reg on your desktop and double click it and select yes to merge it into the registry

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion, just wanted to let you know I fixed the problem.

I turned off teatimer, cleaned the entries I didn't want with HJT (rescanned and all was fine)

I then went into spybot>advanced>tools>view report>clean up old reports

I ticked the reports and clicked on "clean up old reports"

When I re-enabled teatimer the entries didn't reappear!

So success in the end but I wouldn't have had a clue without you pointing me in the right direction, so thanks and I hope my findings might help others in the future

Thanks again, case closed ;)

It seems I've missed an important step and I'm unable to edit so....

I turned off teatimer (and clicked on "archive log" at the top of the "resident" page), cleaned the entries I didn't want with HJT (rescanned and all was fine)

I then went into spybot>advanced>tools>view report>clean up old reports

I ticked the reports and clicked on "clean up old reports"

When I re-enabled teatimer the entries didn't reappear!
