View Full Version : Persistant Trojans - SmitFraud related
Hi there,
After being alerted by ZoneAlarm that something was trying to access a sensitive part of my pc I found out my PC had become infected with some Trojans (which were hastily dealt with by Sophos AV). SmitFraud appeared as well, using SB S & D, SmitFraudFix and AVG (as well as deleting some reg keys) got rid of the actual SmitFraud and 888 toolbar.
I'm now left with SB S&D finding nothing on scans, Sophos finding nothing, but AVG finding around 19 infections a time (often the same), and Spyware Doctor finding 7-9 a scan (full system scans).
Here is the HJT log:

Hi judvard and welcome to Safer Networking Forums :)
You got some infections there...
Please download VundoFix.exe (http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4) to your desktop.
Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
Click the Scan for Vundo button.
Once it's done scanning, 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 reboot your computer, click OK.
Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.
Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
Please download SmitfraudFix (http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip) (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm (http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm)
NOTE: Do not run any other options from SmitfraudFix until I tell you to do so!
Thanks for your reply and assistance

Thanks for all of your help, it's much appreciated.
Just as a note, Spyware doctor is still picking up 3-4 infections (and as my spyware doctor is only the trial version I cannot use it to remove the files)
One of them I could delete manually, but the two others are in a folder called
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{7E175F2D-7ED6-44E9-9C840-60B8B4E3EED1 }\RP197\A0080326.dll
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{7E175F2D-7ED6-44E9-9C840-60B8B4E3EED1 }\RP197\A0080359.dll
The top one is described as Trjan.Busky
and the bottom one is SpyAxe
Update:
Ok I just went in to System Volume Information and deleted those 2 .dll files, Spyware Doc now finds zilch on a full system scan.
Hi again, it is looking clean now :)
Now you can enable SpywareDoctor again.
Open Spyware Doctor
Click the "OnGuard" button on the left side.
Check "Activate OnGuard".
Exit the program.
You can remove the tools we used.
Then you can install the latest version of Java (5.0 update 9) Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9 (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp).
Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications."
Click the "Download" button to the right.
Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement."
The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Install it
Now you can make your hidden files hidden again.
Go to My Computer
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options
Click the View tab.
Checkmark the "Display the contents of system folders"
Under the Hidden files and folders select "Show hidden files and folders"
Check "Hide protected operating system files"
Click Apply and then the OK and close My Computer.
=============
Now that you seem to be clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
Clear your system restore (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx)
This will clear the system restore folders from possible malware that was left behind during the cleaning process.
Use ATF Cleaner (http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1)
Download and install ATF Cleaner. Clean your temporary files & folders with it regularly.
Use Ad-Aware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=48)
Download and install Ad-Aware. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
Use AVG Anti-Spyware (http://www.ewido.net/en/)
Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
Use Spybot S&D (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=43)
Download and install Spybot S&D. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.
Install SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html)
SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
Install MVPS Hosts file (http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm)
This prevents your computer from connecting to harmful sites.
Use Firefox browser (http://www.mozilla.org)
Firefox is faster, safer and better browser than Internet Explorer.
Keep your systen up-to-date (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)
Visit Windows Update regularly.
Keep your antivirus and firewall up-to-date
Scan your computer regularly with your antivirus.
Read this article by TonyKlein (http://castlecops.com/postlite7736-.html)
So how did I get infected in the first place?
Stand Up and Be Counted ! (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info/index.php)
The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.
Stay clean and be safe ;)
