View Full Version : Vista Security Alert and Generic.dropper1F3 issues

Hi,

The family desk top computer was hit with the Vista Secirty 2012 Alert while Blade and I were cleaning my laptop. Besides the security warnings and McAfee anti-virus and firewall shutting off, this computer has suffered a major slowdown, memory is being used up by something and CPU usage runs 80% or more immediately after loading up at start up (in safe mode usage is less than 10% and memory is OK).

Besides those issues something is blocking a number of Windows applications at start-up. I ran Spybot and it found and quarantined a Generic.Dropper1F3. Malwarebytes and McAfee both took over 8 hours to perform their scan but Malwarebytes locked up and failed to complete. I was watching the file names during the scans and noticed that the McAfee Quarantine files numbers in the 100's of thousands (more than 200,000, closer to 300,000).

The MS updates should all be current and I did update to IE 9, but have not updated to Mozilla 9 yet.

Here is the DDS log from before I shut the computer down.

Oldman,

I just got home from work and have moved a copy of aswMBR.exe to the infected computer via flash drive. I'll start the scan, hit the rack and post the logs after I wake up.

The affected computer has been isolated and not on my home network so I can do all the scans etc in an environment that isn't safe mode.

Hi Mike T,

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1 (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
Link 2 (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)


* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : How to Disable your Security Programs (http://forums.whatthetech.com/How_to_Disable_your_Security_Programs_t96260.html)

Right click on ComboFix.exe, click Run as Administrator & follow the prompts.


When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:

1.Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
3. CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Please post back with the combofix log.

Thanks

Good Day Oldman,

I got home from work at about 0400, transferred ComboFix to the affected computer and started running it, I waited until Stage 1 completed to be sure it was running. I went to bed expecting to post a log after waking up but instead of a log I had a dialog box from ComboFix stating "ComboFix has detected root kit activity and needs to reboot".

System has been rebooted and upon initialization ComboFix began running. Right now we have completed through Stage 3 and seem to be hanging on Stage 4, but it has only been on Stage 4 for about 10 minutes. Hopefully I will be able to post the log before I leave for work.

Well, ComboFix ran fairly quickly this morning, at just under an hour.

Here is the log.

Hi Mike T,

The combofix log looks good. I think we got it.

Click on the Start button > Control Panel

Depending on your setings, either
click on the Uninstall a program option under the Programs category.
If you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel, then you would double-click on the Programs and Features icon instead.

Next

Download TFC (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe) to your desktop

Close any open windows.
Right click the TFC icon and click:Run as Administrator"to run the program
TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
Click the Start button to begin the process.
Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
The program should not take long to finish it's job
Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean



Next

You have this program installed, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Please update it and run a scan.

Open MBAM

Click the Update tab
Click Check for Updates
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
The program will close to update and reopen.
Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.

Good afternoon Oldman,

I uninstalled the Java program and ran the TFC when I got home from work. That cleaned up a lot of temp files from all user accounts. After running that cleaner, nearly 8GB of hard drive space was freed up.

I am currently running the ESET scan, but a log from that will be delayed. I was almost an hour into the scan when I had a power interruption and have had to restart the scan, maybe 20 minutes into the second scan now.

I updated Malwarebytes and ran the quick scan, here is the log:

(end)

while we're waiting for the ESET scan to complete here are a couple observations on how the computer is running today.

Boot-up seems faster. After the initial symptoms of the infection I was getting notification that Windows has blocked a number of strat-up programs, after cleaning I am still getting that message. When I open that dialog box I have the option of disabling or enabling the programs. My gut says that I can now enable all of the programs but didn't want to until I had the chance to ask.

I also noticed while ESET was running, before the interruption, that the McAfee\Virusscan\quarantine files still number in the 100's of thousands. The second run of the scan is currently going through those files. This mass of files also causes a full Malwarebytes scan to take over 8 hours to complete. Any suggestions?

As soon as ESET has completed I will post the results & log.

Mike

Hi Mike T,


After the initial symptoms of the infection I was getting notification that Windows has blocked a number of strat-up programs, after cleaning I am still getting that message. When I open that dialog box I have the option of disabling or enabling the programs. Would the message be from Windows Defender or UAC? Do you know the program names?

After we are finished you can empty the McAfee quarantined folder. Seems like it's supposed to do that after 30 days on it's own.

Depending on the version of McAfee you have you should be able to use the steps to delete the files HERE (https://community.mcafee.com/message/175379) or HERE (http://www.ehow.com/how_8296932_delete-mcafee-quarantined.html)

I'll have a look at the ESET log when you post it. If everything seems ok we'll clean up the tools.

Mike T
2011-12-31, 02:07
Oldman,

I tried to see which programs are being blocked but I no longer see the icon in the systray. I'll try to get a full list when I reboot, but I thought it was system security that was blocking the programs. We should know after a reboot.

ESET is still running, this is going to take a while. I did have a chance to look at the quarantine folder size and it is in excess of 450,000 files and somewhere in the vicinity of 2.5+GB. I get the feeling it hasn't been self deleting ;). The earliest quarantine file starts in 2009, right after the last time this computer had a virus that we cleaned up here on the forum.

I am posting from my laptop while ESET runs om the other computer. The other has been on-line with my wireless router since I woke up and I have not seen any signs of McAfee shutting itself down or any unexplained traffic.

I'll check out the McAfee links while waiting for ESET to complete (it is still stuck at about 34%) and post the log as soon as it is done.

Mike

I have followed the directions posted earlier regarding deleting the quarantine files. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in emptying that folder. About the only thing I can do is try deleting one file at a time. Every time I try deleting a block of files, or the select all option the folder stops responding. Also, the delete files option through the McAfee console just gives the working/waiting icon and nothing happens. Of course, I have only let that run for an hour, twice, with no luck. I may try letting it work all night and see if there is any headway in the morning.

Regarding the blocked start up programs, the icon in the system tray is for the Windows System Configuration Utility. A partial list of the programs blocked are:
RAID event monitor
Intel Viv Software
Groove Monitor
Lexmark printer
Fax solutions
NVIDIA
McAfee
Adobe
Quick Time
Itunes
Intellipoint (mouse)
Malwarebytes

Not a complete list but enough to give the idea of what is currently being blocked at start up. I do get the option of enabling these items and wonder if all I have to do is enable them. Suspecting that the rootkit may have changed the setting. Your thoughts?

Hi Mike T,

Windows System Configuration Utility aka msconfig
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310560/

It's a windows utility which allows you to control what you want or don't want to start up when you turn on your computer. To access it click Start, type msconfig When the interface opens click the startup tab.

A database of startup items, what they are and if they can be disabled can be found HERE (http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_search.php) You can find the items by clicking the respective letter for the first letter in the filename. You can find the filename in the msconfig's Command column. You may need to expand the column by using your left mouse button and click and hold the edge of the column at the top and sliding it to the right.

Looking at the list it hard to say if they all should be enabled as some programs have components that do not need to be loaded at startup so you should check the database. I can't say whether it was malware or a person that set them to disabled but if it is the entire list as viewed on the startup tab then it may have been malware related.

Did you try the steps in the McAfee link to empty the quarantined folder by unchecking "Use Access Protection"?

Mike T
2011-12-31, 21:56
Oldman,

I believe the blocked start up list is a result of the malware as that icon/message was not present prior to the attack. I'll look through the list at the link you provided and see what I should re-enable.

As for the McAfee deletion problem, yes I foloowed the steps in the prior link. I don't know if it was the sheer size of that file or if the malware caused some issue but nothing worked. I tried deleting the file through the McAfee dashboard and manually throgh the Program Data\mcafee\virus scan\quarantine folder either method simply stalled the computer. When attempting manually, I would wait until all 480,000 files had loaded, then as soon as I would use the "select all" function or select a single file by right clicking the computer would stall and I could not delete any file(s). I believe the McAfee file had been corrupted by the malware, possibly to facilitate the malware shutting down the virus scan and firewall programs.

My work around was to uninstall McAfee then run MPCR to completely remove the McAfee files and folders. That completed last night and I am in the process of re-installing McAfee on the affected computer as I type this from my laptop.

After everything we've done the computer was coming up pretty quick on strat-up, but this morning everything loaded lightning fast. A quick look at the size od the c:drive shows that getting rid of the quarantine folder freed up almost 3GB of drive space.

I'll let you know how my blocked program look compared to the list you referenced.

Interesting.

I wanted to double check the list of blocked programs on the affected computer and the icon was not there. I rebooted the system, which usually brought the list up for viewing, and the list is still not there. Bringing up the list manually shows that none of the listed files are disabled. Completely opposite of yesterday.

Hi Mike T,

Well your work around would definately be effective :bigthumb: .

As far as the blocked list that could have been malware disguised as the legitamate msconfig showing you how well it was "protecting" you.


Looks like everything is ok.


From your desktop, please delete, if present
any notepads/logs that we created
DDS.scr
mbr.zip
mbr.dat
aswMBR.exe


Next

Click the Start button, click Run. [Vista users, go Start>"Start search"] Copy and paste the following line into the run box and click OK

Combofix /uninstall


I suggest you keep MBAM. Keep it updated and use it regularly.

You can keep TFC and use it from time to time.


Some Recommendations and prevention tips

Basic security consists of 1 antivirus program, 1 resident antispyware program, 1 on demand antispyware program and a firewall. You have those.

You should also use Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) to help immunize your computer.

Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.


- Keeping your Windows up-to-date is crucial to your computer's security. Please go to the Windows Update Site (http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us)(using Internet Explorer) and download and install all critical updates on a regular basis

I think we've got it beat.

All logs and tools have been removed. I always have MBAM and SBS&D, those and my AV generally keep me free of problems but this one snuck in on two computers. The TFC seems like a nice handy "keep the files in check" tool, glad I can use that one for regular maintenance.

All IE setting are as suggested and the last of the windows updates (new in the last week) are loading now.

Once they're done I can connect the 1TB external drive and get everything backed up and safe.

Have a safe and happy New Year.

Thanks,
Mike
