Hey guys, need some of your ninja like skills to help me out here. The problem lies here with my 80 year old grandfathers computer. He's pretty internet savvy for an old man, but seems to have gotten his pc pretty screwed up, dispite running AVGFree and Spybot S&D.
The first sign of any problems was when searching, he would be redirected to another page, and forced to research to get to the page he was searching for. Thas was annoying, but didn't stop him all together. However, last night a fake antivirus popped up called "Security Tool". He was smart enough to know that this wasn't his antivirus so he tried to run AVG scan to find that everyhing was locked out on him. When I got here to look at it I found that even taskmgr and regedit were blocked. This fake AV kept calling all .exe's viruses. Safe mode when I attempted it, just going into a reboot loop. Luckily after a short while, AVG seems to have noticed that this malicious program was running, and has stopped it from running. However I belive there is still something wrong here, as the web redirects still happen, and the fake AV is still listed in my start menu. I await your skilled advice guru's, please help a grandson help his grandpa!

Hi,

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.


Download GMER (http://www.gmer.net) here by clicking download exe -button and then saving it your desktop:
Double-click .exe that you downloaded
Click rootkit-tab and then scan.
Don't check
Show All
box while scanning in progress!
When scanning is ready, click Copy.
This copies log to clipboard
Post log in your reply.

Hi Blade, Thanks for getting around to help me.

I ran DDS and have both logs to post, however GMER kept locking up. I was going to try it in safemode but it seems I can't enter safemode. It just reboots itself after I select it.

Hi,

Could you try to run GMER by deselecting sections and devices first before pressing scan -button, please?

Wildman0420
2010-03-19, 21:57
Ok. GMER Ran for about 4 hours and finished, but as soon as I cliked my mouse is locked up again. I took a picture with my cell phone of what was in the white screen before I had to hard boot. All that came up was one entry

Type: IAT Name: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe[2208] @ C:\WINDOWS...

Value: [451F1AC8] C:\Program Files\Internet...

And that's all that was showing when it finished.

Hi,

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 first.


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:

New dds 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.

ok, I followed the turorial on how to stop AVG free. I shut off the resident scanner like it said. However there is still anti-virus and anti-spyware running, and when I run combofix it says "Warning !! Combofix has detected the following realtime scanner(s) to be active:

AVG Antivirus Free

This may lead to unpredictable results or possible machine damage.

Please disable these scanners before clicking ok."

So what I need to know is how do I shut all of AVG free down, short of uninstalling it?

Blade81
2010-03-21, 12:29
Does it offer an option to close down whole AVG if you right click its icon in traybar?

Wildman0420
2010-03-21, 19:31
Ok,
It didn't offer that option. However I went to close combofix by pushing the X insted of Ok, and it went ahead and ran. I was too scared to stop it at this point so I just went along and hoped that disabling the resident scanner would be enough. It went though all the steps and finished, so I have a log to post here. BUT it does seem to have stopped AVG from loading during startup, and when I click the shortcut to open it, it pulls up the settings screen, and I can re-enable all the settings, but it still isn't running down by the clock, so I'm pretty sure it isn't protecting anymore. Here is the combofix log:

Hi,

Delete c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\97480230 folder. It's ok to reinstall AVG now :)

Well looks pretty good! All the annoying redirects seem to have stopped. The only one I'm getting now is the dang 11charter thing that my ISP forces my DNS to go to. I've been told that openDNS is a good program to solve that problem, so if you think I'm clean and clear I'll install that. I must say thank you. You've come through again and proven your mastery over malicious software. You rock Blade!!!

Hi,


Oh I'd love to make a donation to you guys. Always working so hard to help people you've never met. You're the true heroes of the internet. You have a link for making a donation?
Yes, if you wish to donate you can do so here (http://www.spybot.info/en/donate/index.html) :)


Please find a list of the final steps in our cleaning process below.


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 copy-paste Combofix /uninstall in the runbox and click OK



Please download OTC (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTC.exe) and save it to desktop.

Double-click OTC.exe.
Click the CleanUp! button.
Select Yes when the
Begin cleanup Process?
prompt appears.
If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.


Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.


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
Run Secunia vulnerability check here (http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/) and fix its findings.



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:

Hey blade, sorry it took me so long to reply. Been a hectic week for the family. Again I have to say tank you so much for the help you've given us. The computer seems to be fine and all symptoms are no longer present. We will defenitly be donating to you, as soon as I can. (money's tight, car troubles, but I won't forget.) Also having worked with you before and seeing the good things you guys do here, I feel inspired to learn how to help people myself. Is there one of the online schools you'd recommend? I have alot of time this summer and feel like I could learn and be able to assist others.

One more time Blade, you are the best. If you didn't live so damn far away I'd for sure buy you a beer or something. When I donate to you, you'll have to buy yourself a beer from me. :-D

Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad I could help. :)

Note:If it has been four days or more since your last post, and the helper assisting you posted a response to that post to which you did not reply, your topic will not be reopened. At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a fresh HijackThis log and a link to your previous thread.

If it has been less than four days since your last response and you need the thread re-opened, please send me or MOD a private message (pm). A valid, working link to the closed topic is required.
