Need help to remove Virtumonde - HJT log posted
Hello,
I have a Compaq P4 , 2.4 Ghz, 512 MB-RAM, running on Win XP PRO - browser : IE 6 sp1.
My system got infected with malware and adwares recently. Initially, I tried removing a few manually by reading the online forums, but they came back every time i logged on to the net.
To start with, I got lots of Security Alert! pop-ups recommending me to click OK to downlond spyware removal software and lot of IE windows going to various websites. There was also a toolbar in IE called Security Toolbar. I identified it as SmitFraud and tried removing the files using SmitFraudFix.exe (I dont have the log of SmitFraudFix). Next i tried cleaning with the SDFix tool (find the log of SDFix at the end of this post).
I then downloaded a multi-av scanner (multi_av.exe) and ran it using Sophos, Trend, Mcafee - they found quite a number of files and got some cleaned and some deleted. Most of them were DLLs found in System32 folder and entries from Restore folders.
Finally, I used Spybot and found a BHO - VIRTUMONDE & VIRTUMONDE.GENERIC
But, everytime I run Spybot it detects Virtumonde and clean repetedly. I've stopped using IE (to stop getting infected) instead i browse with FireFox, whenever i use IE it downloads all the malware again.
After these incidents I find my system speed drops frequently while opening apps and mostly when i refresh the desktop, the desktop icons disappear - this i solve by logging off windows user.
Pre-requisites as per your 'BEFORE YOU POST' thread.
1) Spybot - Everytime I run it after browsing (using Firefox) it shows me being infected by VIRTUMONDE and other wise the red items are Windows Update/Firewall/AntiVirus Disabled entries.
2) Online Kaspersky Scan - Not performed, because i can't use IE
3) HJT Log file :
