View Full Version : Infected with "trojan horse fake alert.IM"

My Mom's computer...
"Win PC Defender" was a desktop icon and repeatedly threw pop-ups warning of an infection. The only other symptom is that if you attempt to view a webpage, it interrupts your connection and says your computer is at risk and it's not recommended that you go further without anti-virus software. Her AVG was way out of date (version 7). I downloaded 8.5 and ran a scan, turning up large amounts of tracking cookies and "trojan horse fake alert.IM". That was the only listed infection. Erunt has been run and registry has been backed up. Here is the HJT log:

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.
Not a lot showing, but I do see this:
O2 - BHO: IEocx Class - {06ec6572-7280-485a-a712-c380526bc048} - C:\WINDOWS\ieocx.dll
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ieocx.dll&btnG=Search
appears it is part of the rouge junk component of WinPC Defender.
Let's have a look like this:
1) Please DO NOT ENABLE Spybot S&D TeaTimer while we work together.
2) 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.
Tutorial if needed:
http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/tutorials/2282-malwarebytes-anti-malware-mbam.html
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.

Looks like MBAM got the junk, we will update and run it again to be sure. First the uninstall list:
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://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ While PSI runs in the System Tray for realtime notifications, I personally prefer to turn it off in MSConfig and run it from All Programs when I want to do a check.
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
Adobe recommends all users of Adobe Flash Player 10.0.12.36 and earlier versions upgrade to the newest version 10.0.22.87

Adobe Reader 7.0 <<< out of date and unsafe, see the link:

(if you want a smaller program, look at this one)
Foxit Reader 2.3 for Windows (make sure to uncheck any toolbars)

Spybot S&D is not installed on the computer, please wait until we are sure you are clean, then I strongly suggest you add Spybot S&D to your security tools, here is information:

Let's do this now and in the numbered order:
1) 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.
2) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"
3) 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:

4) 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.
5) Update MBAM (Database version: 1902 (3/26/2009) and "Perform Full Scan, post the results unless they are clean.
6) Update AVG 8 and scan the system:
* Right click the icon for AVG in System Tray and choose Open AVG User Interface.
* Click on Update now, allow AVG to download and install any new updates.
* Click on Computer Scanner then choose "Scan whole computer", this takes a round one hour on the computer I am using now.
* Near the bottom above the words "The scan is complete" choose "Export overview to file"
* Choose Desktop and give it a name you will recognize like AVG Scan Results, then choose SAVE.
* Close results and close the Interface.
* Copy and paste the contents of that file unless the scan is clean.
How is the computer running?
Thanks

OK, all programs that were out of date were either updated or removed completely, MBAM scan came back clean, AVG scan came back clean, ATF Cleaner was run, system restore files were cleaned, and overall the computer seems to be running perfectly. Thank you very much. Unless you see something I missed or have reason to go further I think you can close this thread up. Thanks again!
