View Full Version : Numerous Adware Problems - Command, Surf Side Kick, Windows Installer, etc

Boy, do I have a mess.
First, I have tried to read previous threads and fix the problems. I think I have eliminated a lot of adware programs but some still persist. One of the main problems now is the repeating pop-up of something called "Windows Installer" that trys to install something about every 3 seconds. Some program calles "HpSdpAppCoreApp" keeps trying to run also.
These problem with that prohibits me from doing any online scan (Pandascan tried repeatedly).
Here is the log from Hijackthis:

I have run all these different program (and maybe a couple of others):
Spy-Bot
Ad-Adware SE
Combofix
Ren-cmdservice
Smitfraudfix
Vuendofix
I thinks some of the problems were removed.
Thanks in advance,

Hello Robert,
Welcome to Safer Networking Forums :)
Please download VirtumundoBeGone:
http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/VirtumundoBeGone.exe
* Save it to the Desktop
* Close all running programs (including your Internet Browser)
* Double-click VirtumundoBeGone.exe on the Desktop
* Follow the directions as indicated
This program may generate a "Blue Screen of Death" which is an expected/necessary part of the process.
Do not be concerned.
Just reboot if your system "jams".
To confirm successful deletion, and determine if there are any additional problems, please post the VirtumundoBeGone log VBG.txt. It is found on the Desktop.
Your log shows that you have disabled some startup programs using MSConfig.
This is not recommended because I cannot clearly see everything that is loading on your computer at startup.
To enable all startup items quickly please follow these instructions:
Start | Run | type msconfig | OK
If not already selected go to the General tab.
Under Startup Selection select "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services".
Click Apply and then Close.
When given the option, please choose to restart the computer.
Post a new log when you are done.
Thanks,
tea

I did do the Normal Start Up - that "Windows Installer" program still runs about every 3 seconds - always putting it's little window on top of what I am working.
Awaiting the next step,

Hello,
Please download Brute Force Uninstaller (http://www.merijn.org/files/bfu.zip).
Unzip it to it’s own folder (c:\BFU)
RIGHT-CLICK HERE (http://metallica.geekstogo.com/alcanshorty.bfu) and choose "Save As" (in IE it's "Save Target As") in order to download Alcra Remover. Save it in the folder you made earlier (c:\BFU).
Open My Computer and navigate to the c:\BFU folder. Start the Brute Force Uninstaller by doubleclicking BFU.exe
In the scriptline to execute field copy and paste c:\bfu\alcanshorty.bfu
Press execute and let it do it’s job.
Wait for the complete script execution box to pop up and press OK.
Press exit to terminate the BFU program.
Look in your control panel's add/remove programs for PuritySCAN By OIN, OuterInfo, OIN, Cowabanga, SnowballWars or similar. Click on it and then click remove.
Reboot and if found, delete this folder:
C:\Program Files\PurityScan
If not listed, download and run this uninstaller:
http://www.outerinfo.com/OiUninstaller.exe
http://www.outerinfo.com/howto.html
Tutorial for the uninstaller if needed
Reboot when done and if found, delete this folder:
C:\Program Files\PurityScan
Please download Qoofix by RubbeR DuckY from http://www.malwarebytes.org/Qoofix.zip
Unzip all files to a convenient location such as C:\Qoofix.
Go to the folder you unzipped all files and run Qoofix.exe.
Click Begin Removal and wait for the scan to finish.
If an infection has been found, select yes to restart your computer.
Finally post a new Hijack This log and the contents of the Qoofix logfile.
Try running the VirtumundoBeGone now. Vundo is there, but so are a lot of other things.
Thanks,
tea

Any idea what that "Windows Installer" is that I mentioned? I still keeps popping up infront of any window every 3 seconds or so. It will open 9 or 10 of them at times.
Ran the Vendomundobegone and it said no Vendo found.

Hi Robert,
Believe it or not, there was progress made.:) We just have to keep at this. The Installer is likely malware, so as we get this clean it should at some point go away. If you already have vundofix, please delete it to make sure we get the latest version downloaded.
Please download VundoFix.exe (http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4) to your desktop.
* Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
* Put a check next to Run VundoFix as a task.
* You will receive a message saying vundofix will close and re-open in a minute or less. Click OK
* When VundoFix re-opens,Click Scan for Vundo button.
* Once the scan is complete, Right Click inside the listbox (white box) and click add more files
* Copy&Paste the 2 entries below into the top 2 boxes
o C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtutr.dll
o C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtutv*
* Click Add Files and Click Close Window
* Click the Remove Vundo button.
* You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
* Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
* When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
* Turn your computer back on.
* Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.
Keep at it, you're doing fine.:bigthumb:

Will do the above in the morning when I am back at the computer.
Will download Vendomundo again, but just downloaded the current version I have 4 days ago.
Still, will do as directed.

* Put a check next to Run VundoFix as a task. WORKED OK
* You will receive a message saying vundofix will close and re-open in a minute or less. Click OK WORKED OK
* When VundoFix re-opens,Click Scan for Vundo button. WORKED OK
* Once the scan is complete, Right Click inside the listbox (white box) and click add more files WOULD NOT RESPOND - COULD NOT ADD THE FILES BELOW* Copy&Paste the 2 entries below into the top 2 boxes
o C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtutr.dll
o C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtutv*
IT DID FIND THESE FILES ON THE SCAN THO:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtutr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtutv.ini
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtutv.bak2
NONE OF THE FOLLOWING COULD BE COMPLETED:* Click Add Files and Click Close Window

Use Cleanmgr to clean temporary files:
1. Click > start > run and type cleanmgr and click OK
2. Scan your system for files to remove.
3. Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
4. Click OK to remove those files.
5. Click Yes to confirm deletion.
In Safe Mode, load Ewido and click on the Scanner tab at the top and then click on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run, so be prepared.
Ewido will list any infections found on the left hand side. When the scan has finished, it will automatically set the recommended action. Click the Apply all actions button. Ewido will display "All actions have been applied" on the right hand side.
Click on "Save Report", then "Save Report As". This will create a text file. Make sure you know where to find this file again (like on the Desktop).
Restart back into Normal Mode.
Please delete your version of ComboFix, as the tool is updated constantly and we need to make sure we have the newest version. :)
1. Download this file - combofix.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/combofix.exe)
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply please.
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
In your reply, please post the report from Ewido, the ComboFix log, and a new HijackThis log. These will take a LOT of room, so you may need to use more than one post to fit them in. Please also let me know how your computer is running now.
Thanks,
tea

I got all the way to Ewido scan and the program stops responding at the "Apply all Actions" part.
Tried it twice and froze both times.
Scan takes about 45-50 minutes.
Becoming discouraged.

Don't give up! This stuff is tough, but you're doing fine. We just have to be tougher. We do have bigger guns if the normal things don't work. ;) Did you try the ComboFix part again? I'd also like to see a new HijackThis log, please. :)
Hang in there. ;)

Combofix stalls - as does just about everything on Normal Startup because that Windows Installer program is constantly opening and trying to install something (which it can't do for some reason).
It will get up to 15 Windows going at a time and you cannot even close them fast enough to hardly get any other program to run.
I tried running VundoFix but it never re-opens as "a task."
The Surf Side Kick has never gone away at any point.
Sorry to sound so full of complaints.
I can get the Hijackthis log but things don't seem to be clearing:

Hello,
Complain and vent, just don't be mean. I know it's frustrating.;)

Close all browsers and other windows except for HijackThis!, and click "Fix Checked".
Also, delete the following files/folders (if they exist):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\WinNB57.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtutr.dll

C:\WINDOWS\System32\l3jdfs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\sys0256642205-6.exe
C:\WINDOWS\IA<----this folder, if possible.
C:\Program Files\Network Monitor <---this folder
Locate by searching for the following, and delete repairs303169590.dll
copy and paste next command via start > run
sc delete cmdService
Click OK
In Safe Mode, load Ewido and click on the Scanner tab at the top and then click on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run, so be prepared.
Ewido will list any infections found on the left hand side. When the scan has finished, it will automatically set the recommended action. Click the Apply all actions button. Ewido will display "All actions have been applied" on the right hand side.
Click on "Save Report", then "Save Report As". This will create a text file. Make sure you know where to find this file again (like on the Desktop).
Restart back into Normal Mode.
Now please try ComboFix again.
In your reply, please post the report from Ewido, and the ComboFix log if you were successful, and a new HijackThis log. Let me know how it's running now. :)
Thanks,
tea

Making progress. All the programs have problem with the Surf Side Kick program. I did finally get the Surf Side Kick to go away with Ewido by finding a few SSK files and deleting them. I could never get rid of the whole folder until I altered or deleted a few files in the folder.
Internet Explorer, connections to other computers on network, and programs seem to be running at speed.
Computer is shut off now pending your next instructions.

Hello,
Yay! Progress! Great job!:bigthumb:
Your Java is way out of date, which leaves your computer open to infection.
Updating Java:
Go to Start > Control Panel double-click > add/remove programs.
Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment.... )
It should have a coffee cup next to it:
Select it and click Remove.
Then Download and install the newest version from here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)
After you complete that task, use 'Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs' to remove ALL earlier versions of Sun java. You remain vulnerable as long as these remain on your system.
Vundo is still showing in your log. Go back to the previous directions regarding VundoFix and try those now.
Then,
Please run HijackThis! and click "Scan." Place checks next to the following entries, if present:
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {02EE5B04-F144-47BB-83FB-A60BD91B74A9} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: DPCUpdater Object - {DE8BDE42-16D9-4CCC-9F4F-1C3167B82F60} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtutr.dll
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [kfiw] C:\Program Files\Common Files\kfiw\kfiwm.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: vtutr - C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtutr.dll
Close all browsers and other windows except for HijackThis!, and click "Fix Checked".
Delete the following, if present:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtutr.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\kfiw<----this folder
Reboot your computer.
Use Cleanmgr to clean temporary files:
1. Click > start > run and type cleanmgr and click OK
2. Scan your system for files to remove.
3. Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
4. Click OK to remove those files.
5. Click Yes to confirm deletion.
Perform an onlinescan with panda: (please use this scanner instead of any other scanner!)
Panda Online http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm
- Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
- A new window will open...click the Check Now button
- Enter your Country
- Enter your State/Province
- Enter your e-mail address and click send
- Select either Home User or Company
- Click the big Scan Now button
- If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
- It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
- When download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan
- When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
Post the contents of the Panda scan report in your next reply together with a fresh HijackThis log and the vundo log.Let me know how it's running. :)
Thanks,
tea

Vundofix does not seem to be working too good. I tired to run it in Safemode and think I may have had better success. Otherwise, I could not delete the vtutr.dll file.

Hi Robert,
Looks like what Panda found is all we need to get rid of now. We're getting there!:)
Please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. To boot into Safe Mode, please restart your computer. Tap F8 before Windows loads. Select Safe Mode on the screen that appears.
Navigate to, and delete the following files/folders:
C:\WINDOWS\YOINSI.exe
C:\WINDOWS\uni_ehhh.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Tagasuarus2.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ts_mediamotor.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\icon_mediamotor.exe
C:\WINDOWS\pf78.exe
C:\WINDOWS\media_motor_bundle.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\USDR6_0001_D08M0404NetInstaller.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Sskknwrd.dll
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\b103.exe[stub_109_4_0_4_0.exe]
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\b111.exe[eltadperf.exe]
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\cmdinst.exe

In Safe Mode, load Ewido and click on the Scanner tab at the top and then click on Complete System Scan. This scan can take quite a while to run, so be prepared.
Ewido will list any infections found on the left hand side. When the scan has finished, it will automatically set the recommended action. Click the Apply all actions button. Ewido will display "All actions have been applied" on the right hand side.
Click on "Save Report", then "Save Report As". This will create a text file. Make sure you know where to find this file again (like on the Desktop).
Restart back into Normal Mode.
I notice that you do not seem to be running Antivirus software or a Firewall. This is somewhat suicidal in today's digital world.
That's why I want you to install them!!
AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/), Avira (http://www.free-av.com/) OR Avast (http://www.avast.com/) are good FREE antivirus.Some good free firewalls are ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?lid=dbtopnav_za), or Outpost (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php)
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial60.html).
Never install more than one antivirus scanner or firewall on your system! Several together can give you problems and decrease the reliability of it seriously!
When you've done this, run a full system scan.
In your reply, please post the report from Ewido and a new HijackThis log. Let me know how the virus scan went, and how your computer is running now. :)
Thanks,

Still here.
Computer is still running a little sluggish. Was actually running quicker about one or two instructions ago.
The lower have of the specified delete list from your prev. email was not on computer. Everything below Windows\media_motor_bundle.exe
I do have the Windows firewall program up now. Do you think one of the Freeware Anti-virus programs you listed is better (easier to use??) than the other?

Ah, there you are.:)
Do you know what this is? O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Yak!] C:\Program Files\Yak!\Yak.exe
If not, please do the following:
Please go to http://virusscan.jotti.org , click on Browse, and upload the following file for analysis:
C:\Program Files\Yak!\Yak.exe
Then click Submit. Allow the file to be scanned, and then please copy and paste the results here for me to see.

Yes, Yak! is a freeware program we have used for years. It is a VERY simple program that allows you to communicate between computers on the same network. It's a great little program.
Do you think one of the Freeware Anti-virus programs you listed is better (easier to use??) than the other?
I have not been using the computer we are working on EXCEPT for what you have told me to do. Is it OK to start using it again for general use?

Hello,
Thanks for the info. :)
I use Avast!. It's light on resources, and very easy to use. :) Please put the AV on the computer before you begin to use it. When you do, please run a scan and let me know if it finds anything bad.
You said you deleted the file before you ran Ewido, correct? If so, it's still showing up. :( I'm not convinced you're quite in the clear yet as long as that file is still showing.
Let me know how everything is running, and post a new HijackThis log in your reply. :)
Thanks,

You said in your most recent post:
"You said you deleted the file before you ran Ewido, correct? If so, it's still showing up. I'm not convinced you're quite in the clear yet as long as that file is still showing."
I am not sure what you are talking about? Which "file"?
Installed Avast - computer did slow down after installing that. I guess that is suspected.

Hello there,
I see the NetInstaller.exe on the Ewido above - I did delete it before the progarm ran tho. That's the statement you made that I was referring to.;)
The Ewok log!:rofl: I like that!:laugh:
Did Avast! show anything when you ran a scan?
You know what? You had a LOT of garbage on this machine. You've done a great job with it, and your log looks clean.:bigthumb:
If there are no further problems:
Below I have included a number of recommendations on how to protect your computer in order to prevent future malware infections. Please take these recommendations seriously! These few simple steps can stave off the vast majority of spyware problems.
Regularly go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the "critical updates" for Windows, including the latest version of Internet Explorer. This can patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer. You should also turn on the Windows automatic update feature.
You should definitely maintain a firewall. Some good free firewalls are ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?lid=dbtopnav_za), or Outpost (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php)
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial60.html).
In order to protect yourself against spyware, you should consider installing and running the following free programs:
SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html)
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent spyware from ever installing on your computer may be found here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial49.html).
SpywareGuard (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html)
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for realtime protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial50.html).
Ad-Aware SE (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware)
A tutorial on using Ad-Aware to remove spyware from your computer may be found here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial48.html).
Spybot-Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download)
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial43.html). Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features.
IE/Spyad:
It places over 5000 malicious websites and domains in your IE's restricted zone.
IE/Spyad (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm)
Make sure to keep these programs up-to-date and to run them regularly, as this can prevent a great deal of spyware hassle.
* Avoid illegal sites, because that's where most malware is present.
* Don't click on links inside popups.
* Don't click on links in spam messages claiming to offer anti-spyware software; because most of these so called removers ARE spyware.
* Download free software only from sites you know and trust. A lot of free software can bundle other software, including spyware.
Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in popup blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Please make sure to run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep it up-to-date.
Take care!
tea:)
