Hi.
Been browseing this forum after I got a fake program on my comp. And see serious answers, just what I need right now. Havent had any virus activity for many many years, but this one wont remove with the programs I'm familiar with.

First notice was the fake program "Antimalware Doctor" that started scanning and said I had many threats on my comp. Well aware of what programs I have installed I knew right away now my comp is infected ...

I'll try do this as easy for you as I can. Right now I finished a scan with Spybot - Search and Destroy and SUPERAntiSpyware

Spybot found: Click.GiftLoad and DoubleClick
SuperAntiS. found: Adware.Tracking Cookie and Trojan.Agent/Gen-FraudWare

Nothing removed at this point, adding DDS loggs

hi Berelath,

Based on the log you shouldnt be using the computer. Make sure it has no internet connectivity, if your not sure how to do this then I would power it off.

before we begin:
You have a rootkit on your machine. They hide malicious files and components from traditional antivirus/antimalware software. Rootkits bury themselves deep in the operating system. Special software is needed to detect and remove them. Even if symptoms are gone and logs are clean its still not a 100% guarantee that your machine is clean once a rootkit has been detected and removed. In my opinion you should consider a reformat/reinstall of Windows.
The best source for information on how to do this would be the computer manufacturers website.

We will get two downloads to use. Use tdsskiller first, then combofix.

1) Please download TDSS Killer.exe (http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe) and save it to your desktop
Double click to launch the utility. Vista/W7 right click and "run as admin" After it initializes click the start scan button.

Once the scan completes you can click the continue button.

"The utility will automatically select an action (Cure or Delete) for known malcious objects. A suspicious object will be skipped by default."

"After clicking Next, the utility applies selected actions and outputs the result."

"A reboot might require after disinfection."

A report will be found in your Root drive Local Disk (C) as TDSSKiller.2.4.12.0_03.21.2011_17.32.21_log.txt (name, version, date, time, log.txt)
Please post the log in your reply

2) combofix requires that you read a guide first before use. Read through the guide then apply the directions on your own machine. Post the combofix log in your reply.

Thanks for the reply.

Things got worse. Window layout changed, as if someone used remote desktop. I did read on the other threads with same problem and was expecting this answer; "Shouldnt be using the computer" etc.
I have recently lost everything to a harddrive crash, so I wasnt any great loss to format the harddisk. So I did a reinstall, thanks to Dell for superfast reset fresh from factory installment.

Case closed I guess

If its any help I upload the logg from Spybot S&D. Forgot to add on my first post and didnt want to make a new post before I got a respond :)

hi Berelath,

Ok thanks for the information. Sometimes a reformat can be the quickest and safest thing to do.

You should visit Windows update to get "patched' unless you receive via auto-updates.

You should also back up files every once in a while, unless you already do. This would be content you created like documents, pictures etc. Windows and software can alway be reinstalled, content you created would be lost unless you have a backup. There are many options: cd/dvd, usb sticks, free internet storage sites etc.
I can actually fit my files i want to keep on a 2GB usb drive.

I suggest a second antimalware application to go along with spybot, Malwarebytes. (http://www.malwarebytes.org/) The free version must be updated manually and a scan started manually. And last:

10 Tips for Prevention and Avoidance of Malware:

There is no reason why your computer can not stay malware free.
No software can think for you. Help yourself. In no special order:

1) It is essential to keep your operating system (Windows) browser (IE, FireFox, Chrome, Opera) and other software up to date to "patch" vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Visit Windows Update (http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us) frequently or use the Windows auto-update feature. (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/automaticupdate.mspx) Staying updated is also essential for web based applications, browser plugins and addons like Java, Adobe Flash/Reader, iTunes etc. More and more third party applications are being targeted. Use the auto-update features available in most software. Not sure if you are using the latest version of software? Check their version status and get the updates here. (http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/)

2) Know what you are installing to your computer. Alot of software can come bundled with unwanted add-ons, like adware, toolbars and malware. More and more legitimate software is installing useless toolbars if not unchecked first. Do not install any files from ads, popups or random links. Do not fall for fake warnings about virus and trojans being found on your computer and you are then prompted to install software to remedy this. See also the signs (http://www.malwarevault.com/signs.html)that you may have malware on your computer.

3) Install and keep updated: one antivirus and two or three anti-malware applications. If not updated they will soon be worthless. If either of these frequently find malware then its time to *review your computer habits*.

4) Refrain from clicking on links or attachments via E-Mail, IM, IRC, Chat Rooms, Blogs or Social Networking Sites, no matter how tempting or legitimate the message may seem. See also E-mail phishing Tricks (http://www.fraud.org/tips/internet/phishing.htm).

5) Do not click on ads/pop ups or offers from websites requesting that you need to install software to your computer--*for any reason*. Use the Alt+F4 keys to close the window.

6) Don't click on offers to "scan" your computer. Install ActiveX Objects with care. Do you trust the website to install components?

7) Consider the use of limited (non-privileged) accounts for everyday use, rather than administrator accounts. Limited accounts (http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/advanced/useraccount.mspx) can help prevent *malware from installing and lessen its potential impact.* This is exactly what user account control (UAC) in Windows Vista and Windows 7 attempts to address.

8) Install and understand the *limitations* of a software firewall.

9) A slide show how to for securing Internet Explorer 8.0 (http://threatpost.com/en_us/slideshow/How%20to%20configure%20Internet%20Explorer%20for%20secure%20surfing) for safer surfing. How to harden FireFox. (http://threatpost.com/en_us/slideshow/How-to-configure-Mozilla-Firefox-for-secure-surfing?utm_source=Second+Sidebar&utm_medium=Featured+Slideshows&utm_campaign=Configure+Mozilla+Firefox) for safer surfing.

10) Warez, cracks etc are very popular for carrying malware payloads.If you download/install files via p2p networks you will encounter malware. Malware can be named anything, be nothing but malware or have malware bundled in it. Can you really trust the source of the file?

Happy Safe Surfing.

Thanks for the tips.

Will use them from now on. Been too careless about protecting my computer lately.

Great site!
