A friend of a friend brought me a computer today totally locked up with Total Security. I fought it and won, but in using SpyBot I found some other problems among them SKYNET.

IE redirects - both IE and FireFox are breaking css.

The computer was (is) running a free version of Avira Personal Antivirus

I downloaded and ran SpyBot to remove the Total Security before I came here.

Thanks in advance.

tech108,

Welcome. Do you fix computers as a business ?

tech108
2009-08-29, 20:13
No I don't do repair as my services:

http://www.108tech.com/news/services

This is a friend of friend situation. I don't consider myself properly trained in repair and certainly not in security. I had successfully removed AntiVirus2009 from another friend's computer and thought this would be no different.

Understanding the nature of this community, I donated $20 before posting here.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,


Understanding the nature of this community, I donated $20 before posting here.
Thank you for the donation to the website which is appreciated. Helpers volunteer and all members are assisted.


Skynet is related to the TDSS Rootkit, lets do this.

Be sure to follow the instructions for renaming Combofix as this rootkit will prevent it from running.


Download Combofix from any of the links below. You must rename it before saving it. Save it to your desktop.

Link 1 (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
Link 2 (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
Link 3 (http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe)

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii277/sUBs_/combofix/CF_download_rename.gif

* 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.



http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c30/ken545/RcAuto1.gif


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.

Everything looks great and appears to be working fine.

I'd like to do fresh installs of firefox and IE - is that recommended?

Ken,

Thank you for your help. I need to leave for a few hours, but I'll check in when I get back. I've just visited your website and I really appreciate your sense of community.

Stay cool.

Hello,


I'd like to do fresh installs of firefox and IE - is that recommended? By all means. The version your running now is very outdated , you need to download and install Internet Explorer 8.

You can do that by running windows updates.
Open IE and go to Tools> Windows Updates and download any critical updates.

You should update Firefox as well. The latest version is 3.5.2. When you open Firefox , go to Help> Check for Updates and it should download and install the latest version.

Here are the links if you need them

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

As a final scan, I always like to run a free online virus scanner as a doublecheck.

Please run this free online virus scanner from ESET (http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner)

Note: You will need to use Internet explorer for this scan
Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
Click Start
When asked, allow the activex control to install
Click Start
Make sure that the option Remove found threats is ticked, and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked
Click Scan
Wait for the scan to finish
Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic

Hello Ken.

I have updated both firefox and IX - but I still have a problem.

I can't run the last online tool. The css (something is broken - there are no background images or colors) in both firefox and IX is still broken.

I am not able to get to a button in ESET to click "YES"

HI,

Logs look good, all the malware is gone. As far as not getting color and no windows updates, that may be a windows problem. Why don't you post here and see if they can help you resolve it. You can link them to this thread so they can see what we have done. If you like, link me to the thread so I can follow along and offer any info they may need. This forum is for malware removal only, we do not do any windows support.

Ken you've been great. Thank you.

The computer now has a bunch of programs loaded, should I uninstall all the malware tools?

Also, do you have a favorite link to what steps I should take to protect future problems?

Again, thanks for all the great help.

Lets do this.


ATF Cleaner <-- Yours to keep, run it now and then to clean out the clutter.

Malwarebytes <-- Yours to keep also, check for updates and run a scan now and then.

Combofix <---Is not a general cleaning tool, just run it with supervision or you can bork your system


Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"

The above procedure will:

Delete the following:
ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
VundoFix backups, if present
The C:\Deckard folder, if present
The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
Reset the clock settings.
Hide file extensions, if required.
Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
Reset System Restore.



How did I get infected in the first place ?
Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.

Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard, they will conflict with the TeaTimer in Spybot , you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer .


Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6 (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/)
Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.

Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.

Spyware Guard (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html) It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.

IE-Spyad (http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,23332-order,1-page,1-c,antispywaretools/description.html)
IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.

Firefox 3 (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.



Safe Surfn
Ken
