View Full Version : ClickSpring.PuritySCAN

Hi, Hope you can help me.

Firstly please accept that I am non technical when it comes to this sort of thing so if I have missed the blinding obvious - please feel free to let me know!

2 weeks ago my 14 year old son downloaded a file via MSN. This appeared to come from his friends, but in reality they didn't deliberately send it (so he says!). As I don't use MSN I can't comment further. Anyway, this caused 2 things to happen.
1. Random ads started poping up in IE7.
2. Windows defender started notifying about Clickspring Purityscan.

Since then I have spent hours both researching this (I fully understand the symptom matches the action of PurityScan) and trying to remove the infection without success. On the surface it is just annoying, but my concern is that this could also be making available information that I type into my computer such as Credit Card details when buying on line. My wife is now getting exasperated as she can't get the groceries ordered - now you know the pressure I'm under!!!

I've done all the obvious (to me ) things like looking to uninstall programs etc. but there is something more devious at play here.

I have Norton Anti Virus installed which now detects nothing when run.
It did detect (repeatedly) winstall.exe and then A0018341.exe and A0018356.exe.
I have also now installed Windows LiveOne Care (Anti Virus and Defender).
LiveOne has no viruses showing now, but has some files that can't be scanned.
Defender gives the all clear but periodically detects ClickSpring PuritySCAN which I then remove, only for it to appear again later.

After then resorting to the internet, I decided that your site was trustworthy and downloaded Spybot (my fear was downloading something that would make matters worse!). This detected some issues which were removed with your program.

Great I thought - problem solved. Only next time I started the computer, same problem.

What seems to be the case (again, excuse the non technical view) is that there is a program installed in my machine that isn't being detected which then creates a file or trace that is detected. This can then be deleted, but the original infection is untouched and just starts up again.

Spybot now is just repeatedly detecting "Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDisabled".

I then went on the search for another solution and downloaded what appears to be another trustable Spyware program, Spyware Doctor. This produces a much longer list of items that includes PurityScan. Of course you don't know if that would work until you pay up front and I'm relutant to do that especially as I thought I had solved it once with Spybot.

I've read some of the threads in your forum but can't find anything that exactly matches my problem.

If you are interested to look at this problem, then please let me know what information you would like and I will post it.

Many thanks

Hi :)

You got infections there...

Disable SpywareDoctor's realtime protection.
Open Spyware Doctor
Click the "OnGuard" button on the left side.
Uncheck "Activate OnGuard".
Exit the program.
Disable Windows Defender's realtime protection.
Open Windows Defender
Click on "Tools"
Click on "General Settings"
Scroll down to "Real-time protection options"
Uncheck "Turn on Real-time protection (recommended)"
Click "Save"
Exit the program.

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.

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

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Hi Mr JAk3,

Thanks. I've been away for a few days, hence the delay to action this.

OK, done as you said. As you can see - nothing found by VundoFix.

The Combofix log wont fit on this reply so it's on one by itself.

Hi again, it is looking clean now :)

You have two (2) antiviruses installed and running, Windows LiveCare and Norton. Running more that one antivirus at the same time may cause all kinds of problems and is NOT recommended.
You should leave only one (1) antivirus running. You should uninstall/disable either Windows LiveCare or Norton. When you have decided, you can uninstall your choice through Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs..

Please notice that your Windows LiveCare includes a firewall and if you decide to remove it, you must install a new firewall too. In that case these are good and free firewalls:Sunbelt-Kerio (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm), ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/), Sygate (http://http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3356), Outpost (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1056)

Now you can clean AVG's Quarantine:
