View Full Version : ipfw_helper process stopping internet

My short story is that unchecking ipfw_helper in msconfig allows me to connect to the internet. Otherwise, I've experience a few weeks' worth of no internet for the desktop except in safe mode with networking. Wireless laptops worked, laptop wired into same ethernet cable as desktop worked (after cable modem reboot).

Treated as a network problem at first, so I reset Winsock provider catalog any number of ways and times, and updated to IE 8 from 7. I also uninstalled McAfee, searched for any old lingering Norton files, and shut down Windows firewall. Nothing worked.

Then I focused on malware, and started with Ad Aware, then Spybot SD, then Malwarebytes. Each found something to work on, but nothing worked. Malwarebytes found and fixed a trojan noted as "install.exe" I also had Spybot (I think? Maybe it was Ad Aware.) check and clean my registry.

Still, same problem.

Then I returned to the fact that the internet worked in safe mode, and so I found ipfw_helper process was the culprit (maybe?) by process of elimination in msconfig.

Right now the comp has internet (unchecked process in msconfig), I reinstalled McAffee, turned Windows firewall off, and exited all anti-malware.

My question is what should I do about ipfw_helper to clean it out (or is it legit?), and also any additional steps or final tasks you may recommend.

Hi,

It belongs to Windows port of IPFW (http://wipfw.sourceforge.net/index.html). It's a firewall which will prevent net access if not configured properly. There's one bad entry visible in your log so it's better to check if there's anything else too.

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here (http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/dds) or here (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr) or here (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/dds).
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
DDS.txt
Attach.txt

Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.

Thank you so much Blade. Here it is. I'll be monitoring through the weekend.

Ok. Let's do some cleaning :)


Disable Spybot's TeaTimer to make sure it won't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:
Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode
If it is not already set to do this, go to the Mode menu
select
Advanced Mode

On the left hand side, click on Tools
Then click on the Resident icon in the list
Uncheck
Resident TeaTimer
and OK any prompts.
Restart your computer


Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix tool:

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

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:


Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix, link (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html)
Remember to re-enable them afterwards.


Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.


When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt
New dds.txt log.

A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.

All went well. Here are the new log files. Computer was restarted by ComboFix with full normal processes, and it still has internet access. I don't see any ipfw processes at all.

3dayz
2009-07-05, 01:57
Update. "msconfig" screen still pops up on start up with the same warning I got after unchecking the ipfw_helper process. That process is gone from the options, however, and the normal boot-up with full options is selected.

2009-07-05, 11:19
Hi,

If you access msconfig (click start->run and write msconfig in the field and press ok) what startup selection do you have set there on general -tab? Normal startup should be selected. On startup -tab make sure each item is checked.

Post back when that's done and system rebooted.

3dayz
2009-07-05, 21:23
That is done as you suggest, but it was done by Combofix, not by me. The weird part is that msconfig screen still pops up on start up with a warning that the msconfig is set to something other than "Normal."

Blade81
2009-07-05, 21:46
Hi,

Please provide exact wording in that popup message.

3dayz
2009-07-06, 02:25
Here it is:

"You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows... [2nd line is not viewable due to window format]...

The System Configuration Utility is currently in Diagnostic or Selective Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to run every time Windows starts.

Choose the Normal Startup mode on the General tab to start Windows normally and undo the changes you made using the System Configuration Utility."

This occured originally when I unchecked the process we discussed. After ComboFix, the process either disappeared or was renamed in the configuration utility, and the "Normal Startup" is selected in the general tab without any disabled processes.

3dayz
2009-07-06, 02:34
Hold up. Nevermind. Apparently, the utility just needed me to click "OK" button, because once I did that after my last post it automatically rebooted and the pop-up did not return.

Sorry to side-track us. Computer is running very well now. Waiting for the grand finale.

Close all browser windows and refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
Then post the resultant log.


Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

Well congrats, it appears your system is all clean Are you still noticing any problems? If not, it's time to secure your system to prevent against further intrusions.


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. 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.

2. Reboot.

3. 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.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis


Now lets uninstall ComboFix:

Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK



DDS and related logs can be removed too.


UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.


hosts file:
Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
Download it here (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm). Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial51.html)
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) Click run In the dialog box, type services.msc hit enter, then locate dns client Highlight it, then double-click it. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. Click ok



Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade :cool:

Blade, I believe I got carried away in the last step, and I uninstalled my full version of Adobe Acrobat. Unfortunately, my install disk was lost awhile ago now. Am I out of luck or is there a way to recover that program?

Blade81
2009-07-08, 10:26
Hi,

None of the logs earlier contained signs of full Adobe Acrobat, only old version of free Adobe Reader. Are you sure it was that program you had installed?

3dayz
2009-07-09, 03:57
You are right. I think I've confused what I use at work and I have been using PDF Advantage at home. Anyway, I'll get back on this in the morning.

Blade81
2009-07-09, 10:52
Since I don't know what kind of features you use from PDF writer I give you a list of free options. Not sure if these (http://pdfwriters.org/) are too basic for your needs though.

2009-07-12, 01:11
Blade, I almost made it. I did the system restore instruction, but McAfee decided right at that moment that Combofix.exe was a trojan and removed it. Now running combofix /u gives an error that combofix cannot be found.

McAfee's detection log reports...

One or more items were removed from your computer:

Detection Name: "Artemis!F88F27394184 and Artemis!F88F27394148"

File: "Combofix.exe"

Process: "C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe"

Process Description: Windows explorer

How do I uninstall combofix now? By the way, the computer is working perfectly, and I have my Adobe just as I always have.

Blade81
2009-07-12, 10:29
Hi,

Download ComboFix.exe again to your desktop and making sure McAfee is disabled run uninstall command again.
