Alright, I've ran almost every tool imaginable to try to remove this adware that keeps popping up some popup with the following URL.
So I decided to try running RunAlyzer as a last futile attempt to find where this thing is hiding, and I found something interesting inside
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\srvinet
It points to this suspicious DLL file inside
C:\WINDOWS\inf\srvinet.dll
On further investigation I decided to disassemble the DLL in IDA to see if it was really a Windows DLL, or something more sinister.
It appears to have some DEEP SEEDED system hooks and I'm a little afraid to try to remove it...its some sort of dynamic root kit.
I found the following strings in it which lead me to believe it tries to somehow stop you from running HijackThis
.data:10087354 ; char aHjt_mutant[]
.data:10087354 aHjt_mutant db 'hjt_mutant',0 ; DATA XREF: .text:10004810o
.data:10087354 ; sub_10006470+A5o ...
.data:1008735F align 10h
.data:10087360 ; char aHijackthis_exe[]
.data:10087360 aHijackthis_exe db 'hijackthis.exe',0 ; DATA XREF: .text:10004833o
.data:10087360 ; sub_10006470+C4o ...
After seeing the following strings I am 100% certain it is not a native windows DLL. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this malware...I'm not entirely sure what its from. Or if this is the specific thing that's causing my problem at the moment.
If anyone else wants to investigate it I have uploaded it to my server
