Virtumonde?

[TimB_IE]

Following a virus scan and spyware check, system reported a number of infections including Virtumonde and one trojan that was infecting userinit.exe. I was only able to remove this in safe mode by reinstating a previous copy of the program. I've rerun VirusScan v8.5 and Spybot v1.6.2 and the system come up clean - but does the HiJackThis log show anything else lurking? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

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.

Note: When the infected computer in question is a company machine in the workplace, and you are an employee.

The intention of this forum is not to replace a company's IT department, nor can we anticipate alterations or configurations that may have been made to a business machine, or how it will interact with the tools commonly used in the removal of malware.

The majority of the tools used in this forum are only free for Home Users and only tested on Home machines, they may well change settings that are required for a Company network. Another consideration is that company information may show in the logs.

More than one machine could be at stake, possibly even the server. If sensitive material has been compromised by an infection, the company could be held liable.

To prevent any possible loss or corruption of company information, please inform your IT department or Supervisor when a workplace computer has been infected, immediately.

It's not that we don't want to help, but there are too many issues that could arise from a networked company machine that malware forum volunteers are not experienced in dealing with.

Thank you for your understanding.

I have read the information attached with your reply and understand your position. I help a small UK company with their IT support. One of their offsite users contracted a trojan and asked me to clean it off his laptop. The anti-virus (McAfee Enterprise) and spyware (Spybot) was a little out of date. I updated these and ran checks. A number of problems were reported with Spybot including a couple with userinit.exe. Spybot was able to clean all but the userinit.exe issues.

To resolve these, I booted in safe mode, renamed the userinit.exe files and restored a copy of this file. Spybot was then able to clean the renamed files. Both the anti-virus and spyware are reporting no infections, but I'd really appreciate a second opinion on whether the machine is clean. Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide and for clarifying your support to users within a company.

I must say first that the "Before you Post" directions appear not to have been read since HJT is not located safely and TeaTimer is not disabled, that is for your information only.

If you read the information then you understand if they are accessing that employers network, there is a very good chance they will infect the complete network. I rarely see infected userinit.exe files that are not very bad infections that rarely show in the HJT log. For instance:
http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2009/02/virut-and-other-file-infectors-throwing.html

Often other infected files will not show up in many scans. You might try Kaspersky Online Scan, if Virut is present, it will detect it but reformat is the only way to clean it safely. I advise you, if there is any possibily they have accessed this company network, that you make them aware now.

Thanks

I am confident the user has not connected to the office network. As suggested, I have run online Kaspersky scans on both Critical Areas and My Computer. Both scans came back clean, with no threat names, and no infected or suspicious objects.

Spybot did pick up some more malware (WinClear[1], Fraud.MSAntiSpyware2009[1], Fraud.SystemSecurity[5], FraudVirusRemover2009[4]), but was able to fix all the reported problems. A rescan with Spybot reported the system to be clean.

I would prefer not to format and reinstall, but do not want to introduce a system that could still be infected onto the company network. Having completed the online scans, do you feel there is still some risk the system is infected?

[pskelley]

There is really no way I could say that one way or another, there is two much nasty hidden junk out here, have you looked at this information:
