I to have encountered the dreaded “Windows XP Recovery” virus.
I worked most all of yesterday, till 4am this morning trying to recover from this.
During my futile effort, I have ran the following programs;
1. Roguefix
2. Avira AntiVir
3. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
4. Super AntiSpyware
5. Spybot
I have been able to regain my desktop (I think) back, however, when trying to access programs from the start menu, most say “empty”
Not really sure I have completely eliminated this virus.

Additonal problems found include;
-Internet Explorer will flash once then not open, if I start it “without add-ons” it will come up and display “Internet Explorer is currently running without add-ons”.
There is a bar at the top of the screen showing the “click here to manage add-ons”
If I click on the “home page” button, IE will bring up my homepage (google).
If I “x” the above bar, once I go to another page, the bar will show up again.

Additional steps taken include running “unhide” – was able to see some of my files.
Reran again, little to no improvement.
Did receive an “PEV” is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Then received the “Finished” box and selected OK

During the troubleshooting of this, I noticed that you requested that a copy of the DDS log file be included, see below.

I have also ran ERUNT, as state in before you post area.

I have also included in log file from Spybot, see below. Note, this is the 2nd run of Spybot.

First read this guide about combofix, on another computer if you have to:
Guide to using Combofix (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix) We will use it later.

Next: Download rkill.com (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.com) to the compromised machine
double click it and let it run, It only terminates certain processes it dosnt remove them so dont reboot yet.

"Please be patient while the program looks for various malware programs and ends them. When it has finished, the black window will automatically close and you can continue with the next step."


Download combofix to your desktop and run it. Post the log in your reply. If it gives you problems you can try running it in safe mode. To reach safe mode you would tap the f8 key during a computer restart, chose the first option from the list: safe mode, log into your usual account. Once at the safe mode desktop run combofix. post the log.

See how that goes. Let me know what you were able to do or not do. I wont be back on line for 18 or so hours. Good luck.

Shelf Life,
First thanks for helping me out with this. Sure will be glad to get this fix and get back on line.
First off, downloaded and ran RKill with no ill effects.
Next, downloaded and tried to run Combofix.
Initially tried to run this from normal log in on desktop. The program started but it hung.
I then tried to perform a normal reboot, however, it would not reboot. I then performed a "hard" boot. The computer came back up, I went into Safe Mode.
I then tried to run ComboFix again, this time I got a blue screen.
Again, I had to perform a "hard" boot. When the computer came back up, I went into "Safe" mode again.
This time I was able to get ComboFix to run to completion. The only problem that was incountered this time was that I could not access the internet, thus, ComboFix was not able to download the "Recovery Console".
I did not have any additional problems after completion.
I have attached the ComboFix.txt file as directed.
Again, thanks for all your help and time with my problem.

hi

ok good. Check malwarebytes for updates and do a scan with it. We will also get another download to use:

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 and Windows 7 right click and "run as admin.." After it initializes click the start scan button.

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


If an infected file is detected, the default action will be Cure, click on Continue.

If a suspicious file is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.

It may ask you to reboot the computer to complete the process. Click on Reboot Now.

If no reboot is required, click on Report. A log file should appear. Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.

A report can also be found in your Root drive Local Disk (C) as TDSSKiller.2.4.12.0_02.01.2011_17.32.21_log.txt (name, version, date, time, log.txt)

Please post the log report

Well, here we go,
First off, I can not access my wireless network, each time I try, the connection manager shows "firewalled". I have even turned windows firewall off, still no luck. Guess, I still have a problem.
I did run Malwarebyte, I was not able to update the database. Even though it was 10 days old, it did find 3 virus.
I have attached the log file.
I then rebooted and ran TDSSKiller, it found another virus. Selected continue and then rebooted.
The log file from that is also attached. Sorry, but had to zip it to get it to upload. It was 56k and could only upload a 48k file.
Just a couple of OBTW's, I still think that something is lurking around. When I select any program from the start menu, it still show's "empty".
My desktop looks normal, but it does not seem quite right.
Anyways, we are making progress, so I really do appreicate all of your help.
Look forward to seeing what needs to be done next.
Thanks.....

ok thanks for the info. TDSSkiller removed a rootkit.
If you right click on Start, chose Explore, click on Windows folder than the System32 folder. Then find cmd.exe in the files listed to the right- and double click it.
In the shell window that opens at the cursor type in:

ipconfig /all > C:\results.txt

You will find the results.txt log in your rootdrive C:
Please post the log.

If you have a router and a modem you can try this: turning the modem off, also the router, wait 30 seconds or so then turn the modem back on, then the router. While they power back up restart your computer.


connection manager shows "firewalled"Is Windows managing the wireless connection or do you have a third party software installed, if its third party you would see a icon by the clock you could click on to get info and details.

The start menu is most likely a leftover from the scareware.
Which we will try to fix.

Was able to get my connection working last night after I posted.
I wanted to see if I could get on the net at all, so I plugged into the modem and was able to make a "hardwire" connection.
Once I knew I could connect, I then went to control panel->add/remove programs->[selected] Intel Proset->then selected repair.
I was then able to make a wireless connection. I then rebooted to see if there would be any change, there was not. Seems to have fixed that problem.:bigthumb:

2011-06-12, 15:19
Do you have two AV installed, Mcafee and Avast? Only need one AV per machine. Two is not better in this case. If so you should remove one via the add/remove programs panel.
so the only things that show in the start panel are ones you recently used?
It looks like the attached screenshot?

msff4u
2011-06-12, 16:12
You are correct, my start panel looks like what you sent.
I have removed the Avast, do I need to turn the auto scan features of Malware & Spybot off?
I have also included screen shot (screen shot.zip) of my start menu and also of the add/remove screen. Though that might help.

Malwarebytes and Spybot are not antivrus so you can have both those running. For the start menu you can try this:
Go to start>run and copy/paste whats below in the Run window, click ok or enter. Reboot your computer and see if that helped.

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

I tried both items suggested. I downloaded installed and rebooted the first one, then the other.
No luck with either one.
I went back and started checking each program from the add/remove screen. Some programs do have a "repair" feature, others don't. The "repair" feature is what I used to get the IntelProset to work. Would this be advisable to try that with the programs that have it?

2011-06-17, 02:18
No problem. The link in my last post is for the start menu issue. You can try running combofix again, I think you had to run it in safe mode last time if I remember. You can try running it again normally first, then go to safe mode if you have to. If you can run it normally it will update itself first. If you cant run it normally then boot into safe mode and this time chose the option safe mode with networking. This is so combofix can get the updates before running.

msff4u
2011-06-18, 14:15
I will run Combofix again and let you know what happens.

msff4u
2011-06-18, 15:55
Well, ran Combofix from the normal window, no luck. The strange thing is that when you look at the properties of a program link from the start menu, it shows 0 bytes and no directory, however, I can find and run that program if I tunnel down to the program folder it self.
I have attached the latest log file from combofix. :sad:

shelf life
2011-06-18, 19:34
The log looks ok. Scareware often uses these tricks but running antimalware and/or registry fixes will correct them. Running combofix was to check for any malware again and I didnt see any. The other fixes were registry fixes which havent worked.
Try this (http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/linkfile_fix.zip) Extract it to your desktop and double click to run it.

2011-06-19, 15:13
ok I see you have Superantispyware. It has some repair features you can try but iam pretty sure these are going to be reg fixes which we have already tried. If they dont work then we can try copying a user profile or manually copying them back in. Kind of tedious but you could do it just for apps you use most often.

Launch SAS and from the main window click on preferences then the repairs tab. You can try by clicking on these listed below then select Perform Repair:
Remove Explorer Policy Restrictions
Reset Winlogon Shell
Probably have to reboot after each one.

msff4u
2011-06-21, 04:04
Well, no luck at all. I even tried running a couple of the other repair features of SAS, but still no luck.
Let me ask this, there couldn't still be some sort of cover or protector over the top of the "All Users" profile, could there?
Everytime I ran the SAS repair, after reboot, at the start menu, it showed "new program installed". When I looked at the "all programs" list, I did not see any new programs installed, everything still shows "empty".

shelf life
2011-06-21, 22:39
Thats why we combofix again, as another check for malware. I assume thats what you mean. If you havent recently run malwarebytes check for updates first then rerun it. also please rescan and post a new DDS log since its been awhile since the last one. Maybe something new will show up in those.
Is the menu empty for all the user profiles?

msff4u
2011-06-22, 02:46
O.K., I checked each profile on the computer and it appears that all common files are showing empty. Then if there is a program that is loaded under just one profile, it may or maynot show up. I totally don't understand.
Attached are the files from Malware and DDS.
BTW, when the computer starts up now, it shows the F8 screen - start up in safe mode or normal mode. It has normal mode selected, then passes on thru. This screen just shows long enough to see it, then the computer finishes booting without further incident.

Is your head hurting yet.....:slap:....I know mine is

shelf life
2011-06-23, 02:43
Dosn't hurt yet, getting close though. All those recent logs look ok. Do you want to do a system restore? A point in time before the start menu problem? Malwarebytes does a pretty good job of cleaning any potential malware out of them. I assume it all started with the malware and you could chose a point before then to restore to. At this point it may be worth a try because I dont see any malware and we have run several registry repair tools.

2011-06-28, 02:03
No luck with that. The two reg dumps look similar to my own. Using explorer if you go to C:\Program Files, do you see all the program folders listed and if you double click one of them on the right you see the .exe and other files in the folders?

msff4u
2011-06-29, 03:25
Yes, when I use explorer, I can see the program folder, and all the sub folders. When I open one of the sub folders, I can see what appears to be all the associated files.
I just went to the [microsoft office] folder and was able to open [excel].

hi,

Ok. You can try this. Your start menu looks like this: See menu.png attachment,
The Dexclock folder as a example on my machine displays as empty when clicked.
If you double click one of the empty folders, in the menu.png screenshot example the folder is circled as Dexclock,
A window opens and is empty. See screenshot menu1.png showing the empty folder in explorer.
Keep this window open for now. Right click on start>explore and navigate to C:\Program Files and find the Deskclock folder, see screenshot menu2.png. showing the two windows opened together.
You can right click on the .exe file in C;\Program Files and drag/drop them into the Start Menu creating a short cut to the .exe. You could also drag/drop a shortcut to the desktop if its a app you use alot.
See screenshot menu3.png.
This will place a short cut in the start Menu. see screenshot4.png and you will be able to launch the app using the start>programs menu.

hi,

Welcome back. You could just create the shortcuts for stuff you use the most. As far as I know we pretty much exhausted all the other possible fixes.

Another option would be to do a restore of Windows, not a system restore like we tried.

I assume you have a commercially purchased machine. These usually come with restore partitions or restore disks. It might be possible to do a restore back to factory conditions or a restore of Windows from the partition or a disk. These options I think would preserve your own documents etc you put on the computer. Not sure on that, I build my own and dont have much experience with restore disks and partitions. Probably varies anyway from vendor to vendor. Not talking about a reformat which would wipe your hard drive.

The best place to at least investigate this would be the computer vendors website. Most have very good information and guides. One thing you want to makes sure of is if the procedure will preserve your data. Iam sure they would recommend first backing up anything you didnt want to lose, just as a precaution, (this would be content you created like documents, pictures, video etc) before you started any procedure.
