Removing Refpron + Win32.Delf.rtk

[Revseven]

This computer was very unprepared for faster internet.
Spybot S&D usually lists two infections, Refpron and Win32.Delf.RTK. One of those seems to like to shut down services like Automatic Updates and Windows Firewall.

What I've done so far-
1. Attempted to remove the infections with SS&D maybe 16 times, a few times in safe mode. My thoughts were that doing it again after a reboot might help. Call it superstition.
2. Attempted to clean everything with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It seemed to work, but only temporarily. At that point we also had WinSpywareProtect 2009, I don't know if that matters.

There's another Windows computer on our home network, if that makes a difference. We ran SS&D ther and it seems to be fine for now. It's running TeaTimer. This one isn't.

That's all I can think of at the moment. Thanks in advance for your time.

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.

Pinned (sticky) to the top of this forum, and posted above are the directions, make sure you have read and followed them, then post the requested logs, please mention any recent symptoms.

You do have some bad malware on this computer, see this:
O23 - Service: sopidkc Service (sopidkc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\sopidkc.exe
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sopidkc.exe&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
and there is likely more junk hidden. Tell me if you had anything to do with placing this item in your hosts file:

http://whois.domaintools.com/195.245.119.131 <<< see this

If you still need help, I need more information and we will start like this:

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

2) http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php <<< download Smitfraudfix from here and follow ONLY these directions.

Search:
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Note: process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool". It is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm

Post only the C:\rapport.txt

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.

Thank you.
I have read that information at least once, but I'll read it again for comprehension.
Like I say, one symptom is that apparently Automatic Updates was shut down for a month. Yet when we go to the Windows Update site, it doesn't find any urgent updates. Does this virus modify the system to think it's up to date?

We haven't added anything to the hosts list ourselves. Anything there was added by a program, I think.

TeaTimer is off.
Here are the SmitfraudFix report and the HJT uninstall list. I think I saw an error when SmitFraudFix began, but it ran. You nailed that IP address.

Does this virus modify the system to think it's up to date?
Not a virus, a trojan worm and the junk does what ever the hackers write them to do, and that is constantly changing. We are now dealing with organized crime.


Thanks for returning your information, Smitfraudfix found the infection and it also found this:
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» hosts
hosts file corrupted !
After we clean, in the next C:\rapport.txt, there may be a very large hosts file (items starting with 127.0.0.1) and I do not need to see it. Edit (remove) it from the C:\rapport.txt before you post it.

1) Clean:
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infected files.

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 here:

Link 1 (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/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.

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.

Post the C:\rapport.txt, the log from combofix and a new HJT log.

Thanks

This can be done as time permits, but it is important, and may be why you are infected.
Uninstall list: I look for malware and security issues 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:

http://searchengineland.com/microsoft-does-msn-toolbar-distribution-deal-with-java-15413.php

If I found that many, you can bet PSI will find many for, and it is only a matter of time before hackers start using them to exploit you.

Sorry, I don't think I quite understand the instructions.
Do I run ComboFix in Safe Mode?
When it reboots, should I press anything to make sure it boots back into Safe Mode?

I ask because I already ran ComboFix in Safe Mode, it rebooted normally, but seemed to stall when programs automatically started up.

[pskelley]

There is no need to run combofix in safe mode.

[Revseven]

Thanks. Here we are. I did get the AV turned off once I remembered, whatever ComboFix says.

I'll look into PSI and those vulnerabilities, thans for the tip.

[pskelley]

You had a very infected computer here, let's proceed carefully and in the numbered order.

1) You may remove Smitfraudfix (delete) we are finished with that program.

2) 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.

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

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
O2 - BHO: PeoplePC ScamGuard - {7E3659A6-4BC5-4d93-B3FD-8B5ACC2FEDED} - (no file)

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

4) 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

(no need to download again if you still have MBAM, please be sure to update to the newest database version (1832) and scan according to the directions posted)

5) 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.

How is the computer running now?

Thanks...Phil

Let's see if we can wrap up like this...

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.

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z176/EPL47/CF_Cleanup.png

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 VirusScannerPro 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.

This is interesting... I see no System Restore tab in System Properties.

[Revseven]

Disregard, please, it's back.

[Revseven]

Sorry about that.

MBAM says clean!

Avanquest 8 (VirusScannerPro) says clean!

The problem appears to be resolved. Many thanks, Mr. Skelley! My parents use this computer for several important things, and the trojans were really, really, inconvenient. Thanks for your time and patience, from all of us.

Those pages are very helpful. May I ask one more question before you close? For a 5-year-old computer like this one, would you recommend AVG, Avira, or if we can afford it, something commercial like VIPRE or BitDefender? We currently use Avanquest Fix-It Utilities 8, but it doesn't seem to catch things very well.
I'll definitely be installing Ad-Aware, SpywareBlaster, and some kind of firewall though. I hope not to be back here again.

[pskelley]

Please read the links I posted from experts, they know much more than I about security. I will say I use all freeware programs on my computer:
AVG 8 free
Zone Alarm free
SpywareGuard
SpywareBlaster
Spybot (w/o TT since I run SpywareGuard)
MBAM

Thanks for your question:bigthumb:

I personally believe it is more about keeping the programs up to date, running them as suggested and maintaining good online surfing habits than it is about how much you pay for it.

[Revseven]

Thank you for your answer. I think we'll try AVG Free, ZoneAlarm, Spyware Blaster, either SpywareGuard or TT, Ad-Aware, and keep Spybot and MBAM, with Secunia PSI and Automatic Updates periodically. Possibly also NoScript for Firefox.

Anyway, we'll hopefully not get caught by any of these again. Thank you for your help! I have no more questions.
