Reccuring Malware

[dchen]

I've been having some trouble with a recurring spyware/malware entry that keeps on showing in my scans. The spybot lists it as win32.buzus.aspx and states it removes it correctly when i choose to fix selected problems but keeps showing up in subsequent scans, sometimes done seconds after the initial scan with no internet activity. I also sporadically find other malware in my scans that I might naively think is a result of the unremovable win32.buzus.aspx as I read the initial forum post on win32.buzus.aspx and it stated that it downloads other malware. These other malware include : Burst Media, Casale Media, DoubleClick, FastClick, MediaPlex, Zedo, Statcounter etc.

Perceived symptoms include a greatly slowed computer with heavy spikes in delay which render the computer non-responsive for short periods of time.

It would be tops if there was help out there.

Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to Safer Networking.

My name is km2357 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

I will be giving you a series of instructions that need to be followed in the order in which I give them to you.

If for any reason you do not understand an instruction or are just unsure then please do not guess, simply post back with your questions/concerns and we will go through it again.

Please do not start another thread or topic, I will assist you at this thread until we solve your problems.

Lastly the fix may take several attempts and my replies may take some time but I will stick with it if you do the same.

Sorry for the delay in replying, the forum is very busy. If you still need help, please do the following:

1. Rerun DDS and post both DDS and Attach.txt. No need to attach Attach.txt, just post it normally.

2. Download and Run Gmer

Please download gmer.zip (http://www.gmer.net/gmer.zip) from Gmer and save it to your desktop.

***Please close any open programs ***

Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOTKIT" entries unless advised by a trained Security Analyst

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan. Click No.

If you do not receive notice about possible rootkit activity remain on the Rootkit/Malware tab & make sure that the 'Sections' button is ticked and the 'Show All' button is unticked. Click the Scan button and let the program do its work. GMER will produce a log.

Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
Click OK.

GMER will produce a log. Click on the Save button, and save the log as gmer.txt somewhere you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

DO NOT touch the PC at ALL for Whatever reason/s until it has 100% completed its scan, or attempted scan in case of some error etc !

Please post the results from the GMER scan in your reply.
