Help Please, infected computer

[40luv]

Have a desk top PC with a warning that computer is infected. The desktop background color turned to black. There is a rectangular box in middle of screen that says "Dangerous Spyware" many viruses were found on your computer such as: Trojan Horse, PassCapture, etc.

Also i cannot get on the internet anymore. This hapenned as soon as Norton antivirus subscription expired and i did not renew, like an hour later. Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

hi,

anyway you can transfer files to the infected computer via usb drive or even CD?


Also i cannot get on the internet anymore
try: start>run and type in iexplore.exe
see if IE launches. If so your first stop is for MBAM:

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) to your desktop:

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

* 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.**
*A restart may be required to finish the clean up process*
* 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 the MBAM log in reply.
If you have transfer with a usb drive, post back first before doing it.

Thanks for responding. I ran mbam but in my excitement forgot to save the log. Is the log gone for good or can i retrieve from somewhere? Also after i rebooted to normal mode and updated mbam, i ran another full scan and this scan is taking forever. it's already over 2 hours and seems to be running slow. The initial scan in safe mode only took 49 minutes and it found over 200 malwares. Please advise, thanks again.

hi,

you should find the MBAM logs here:

The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt

The scan in normal mode could take some time. If it seems to stop then boot into safe mode to run it again.

make sure you do this part after a 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.**
If prompted to restart computer (to remove malware)please do so.
You have internet connectivity now?

[40luv]

Yes i can connect to internet now.

Here is the log after first scan in safe mode:

hi,

thats quite a load you had. How long has your machine been like this? You had some processes that may have allowed remote access to your machine.

We will get one more download to use. Its called combofix. There is a guide to read first. Read the guide, download combofix to your desktop, disable any AV as explained in the guide, double click the icon and follow the prompts.

the guide:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

[40luv]

Hi.

Yes i thought that was a lot. Computer was only unusable (couldn't access internet) a couple days ago.

Remote access sound scary and bad.

I will try downloading combofix.

P.S
I know we prolly should tackle 1 issue at a time but i'd like to ask this question. When i double click on Mozilla Firefox from my desktop i get the following alert!

"Could not initialize the application security component. Most likely cause is problems with files in your application profile directoy. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full"

Then when i try to log on to anything that requires signing on i.e. Aol mail, online banking i get a Secure Connection Failed error message. see below

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to my.screenname.aol.com.

Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.

(Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled).

Any ideas? Thanks again.

[40luv]

Computer was only unusable (couldn't access internet) a couple days ago.
the malware could have been using your internet access the whole time.

we will use combofix to remove some files: dont forget to disable AV first

Click Start, then Run and type Notepad and click OK.
Copy/paste the text in the code box below into notepad:



File::
C:\fntq.exe
c:\windows\instsp2.exe
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\lmxlitu.bak1
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\lmxlitu.bak2
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\lmxlitu.ini2

Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"=-


Name the Notepad file CFScript.txt and Save it to your desktop.
now locate the file you just saved and the combofix icon, both on your desktop
using your mouse drag the CFScript right on top of the combofix icon and release, combofix will run and produce a new log
please post the new combofix log and a new hjt log.

do a online scan here:

ESET online scanner:

http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/

uses Internet Explorer only
check "YES" to accept terms
click start button
allow the ActiveX component to install
click the start button. the Scanner will update.
check both "Remove found threats" and "Scan unwanted applications"
click scan
when done you can find the scan log at:C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
please copy/paste that log in next reply.

For the SSL problem take a look here:
look under:
Check your SSL settings

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+cannot+connect+securely+because+the+SSL+protocol+is+disabled

most likely you do not use a proxy so you can skip that part

[40luv]

I know what and where to get the combofix log. What is and where do i find the new hjt log. I just wanna make sure i follow ur directions fully. Thanks again.

[shelf life]

hi,

looks good. did you do the online scan? You can post a hjt log like this:

download HJTInstall.exe

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe

* Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
* Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
* By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
* Click on Install.
* It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
* Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
* Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
* Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" and Paste the entire contents of the log

Hi,

Combofix shouldn't be used by individuals unless you know what you are doing. Its a tool to help in the removal of malware, its not a scanner like MBAM is.
MBAM is excellent, always check for updates before using it. Its good practice to keep it (and all software) updated even if you dont scan that much.

Looks like a service may have been left behind:
look in C:/Program Files/Ares
you can delete the Ares folder.

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

O23 - Service: Ares Chatroom server (AresChatServer) - Ares Development Group - C:\Program Files\Ares\chatServer.exe

Hows it all looking on your end now?

[40luv]

Hi,

Thank you for your assistance, much appreciated.

I uninstalled combofix.
I deleted the Ares folder.
I fixed checked the 023 from the hjt scan.

It's looking good at this end, even resolved the firefox ssl protocol problem.

Any suggestions for real time anti virus?

Thanks again.

[shelf life]

your welcome. For AV I like free myself.

You can make a new restore point. The how and why:

One of the features of Windows ME,XP and Vista is the System Restore option, however if malware infects a computer it is possible that the malware could be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is a good idea after malware is removed.

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(winXP)

1. Turn off System Restore. (deletes old possibly infected restore point)
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.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.(new restore points on a clean system)
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, then reboot

If all is good, some info for you:

Reducing Your Risk To Malware:
The Short Version:

1) It is essential to Keep your OS (http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us),(Windows) browser (IE, FireFox) and other software up to date to "patch" vulnerabilities that could be exploited. This is also true for web based applications like Java, Adobe Flash/Reader, QuickTime etc. Check there status here. (http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/)

2) Know what you are installing to your computer. Alot of software can come bundled with unwanted add-ons, like adware, toolbars and malware. Do not install any files from ads, links or popups.

3) Install and keep updated: one antivirus and two or three anti-malware applications. If not updated they will soon be worthless. Scanning frequency is a function of your computer habits.

4) Refrain from clicking on links or attachments you receive via E-Mail, IM, Chat Rooms or Social Sites, no matter how tempting or legitimate the message.

5) Don't click on ads/pop ups or offers from websites requesting that you need to install software to your computer.

6) Don't click on offers to "scan" your computer. Install ActiveX Objects with care. Do you trust the website?

7) Set up and use limited accounts for everyday use, rather than administrator accounts. Limited accounts (http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/advanced/useraccount.mspx) can help prevent *malware from installing.*

8) Install and understand the limitations of a software firewall.

9) Consider using an alternate browser and E-mail client. Internet Explorer and OutLook Express are popular targets for malicious code because they are widely used. See also: Hardening or Securing Internet Explorer. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6AA4C1DA-6021-468E-A8CF-AF4AFE4C84B2&displaylang=en)

10) If your habits include: warez, cracks etc or you install files via p2p (http://www.virusvault.us/p2p.html) networks then you are much more likely to encounter malicious code. Do you trust the source? Do you really need another malware source?

A longer version in link below.

Happy Safe Surfing.

[40luv]

Thanks for the recommendations.

I am logged on as the administrator but when i right click on My Computer>Properties, there is no system restore tab!

I was able to get to system restore via Start>Help and Support>System Restore>System Restore Settings and the check and unckecked "Turn Off System Restore". Is this ok.

Why did i not get the system restore tab? (see paragraph 2)

Also why can i not turn on Automatic Updates in Windows Security Center, Firewall is on.

[40luv]

I'm liking mbam, i'm gonna run it daily.

Will Perform quick scan be sufficient or should i run Full scan everytime.

I'm learning Tks again.

[shelf life]

hi,

dont know why theres no tab. the other way will work fine also for making a new restore point.


Automatic Updates
go to start>run and type in cmd
at the prompt >_
copy paste whats below and press enter
close the window
reboot computer
see if you can start Auto updates


sc start bits




quick scan be sufficient or should i run Full scan everytime
I suppose everyday a quick scan would do, and maybe a full scan once a week or so. It really depends on your computing habits. Read through that top 10 list I posted. The paid version of MBAM offers autoupdates and real time protection.

[40luv]

Hi,

I followed ur direction,

go to start>run and type in cmd
at the prompt >_
copy paste whats below and press enter
close the window
reboot computer
see if you can start Auto updates

I get a message "The system cannot find the file specified"

[shelf life]

ok do this instead. start>run and type in services.msc
click ok
the Windows service panel will open
under the name column look for:

Background Intelligent Transfer Service

right click on it and select properties.
under the general tab:

the Startup type should be: Automatic. If its not change it
The Service Status should say Started, if its not change it
by clicking the Start button
click ok
reboot computer

see if that solves it.

[40luv]

No it did not solve it, I got the following error message:

Could not start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service service on local computer.

Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified

[shelf life]

ok try this also;

start>run and type in cmd
click ok or enter
at the prompt >_
copy/paste in the code below and click enter;
close window, reboot, cross fingers


sc start wuauserv

[40luv]

This is what i got,


StartService Failed 1058:

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or either because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

[40luv]

Seems like something is missing and or i'm not being recognized as administrator although i am log in as such.

[shelf life]

no joy yet.

see if you can stop and start system beep;

at the >_ prompt like before type:

sc stop beep

the "state" in the list should say: stopped

then
sc start beep

the state should return: running

You may get some more helpful info if you go to the windows update website.
with BITS not running it should fail there also. You may get some error messages from the web site that may provide a solution.

http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

Also please post another hjt log

[40luv]

This is what i got:

ok it stopped. You can do sc start beep to get it going.

since that appears ok then I wouldnt think you should have any problem starting the BITS or wuauserv service, which requires you to be admin.

did you visit windows updates for any suggestions on the error messages?

you might also try sfc /scannow

Look here for a guide:
http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html

[40luv]

Okay well i have followed everything you've instructed (and i thank you) but nothing seems to be working.
I have gone the windows update site but it cannot/will not update my system and when i try to do as the website directs, i get an "access denied".

I'm very frustrated at this point.

Firefox seems to be running okay, but there is some websites i visit that i need Explorer.

How do i do a complete reload. By that i mean wipe everything out then reinstall original files. i have the system disk from purchase of pc. Thanks.

[shelf life]

Your welcome. Sorry I couldnt resolve it for you. Your best bet for doing a re-install would be the computer manuf. website. I build my own and have never used a recovery CD or recovery partition on a hard drive. It may be as easy as popping in the CD and picking a option from the list.
Most commercial computer vendors maintain informative web sites with helpful information. Read up on the info first. You might have several options;

Reinstall Windows
Reformat and reinstall Windows
Restore to factory defaults.

For sure the second option will wipe the Hard Drive. The other two may retain your data. This is the info you want to know before preceding. As a precaution for all of them you might want to pull off any data that you created and you dont want to lose, like documents, photos etc. USB flash drives are inexpensive and can hold up to GB's of data. Burning CD's are another option. There are also online storage sites that you can upload data to. The one I use is kind of slow as it transfers via Java applet, but its free up to 50GB: http://www.adrive.com/plans
Spend some time at your computer vendors website before you proceed.
When all is done make Windows update your first stop. If I can help you feel free to post back.
