Virtob

I have a question. I have a laptop system that my anti-virus (avast) all of the sudden found a virus called win32:virtob-gen. It just found it yesterday and I have no idea where I might have picked it up. I literally only went to one internet site, which was my college campus website and then opened some spreadsheets that I created. Anyway, I tried to do some research on this virus and the avast website says that it is extremely difficult if not impossible to remove. it seems to have infected nearly 400 .exe files already, including hjt, hence, I'm leery to even attempt to connect to the internet on this system. Has anyone heard of this and can it be fixed without a complete re-install of the operating system??

You guys have really helped me before on this forum, specifically on this computer. I did create a system restore point after it was cleaned before, but it looks like the virus has infected some system restore points as well. I'm not quite sure how to show any of the logs that you guys need to see since it seems to be so badly infected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Blackhawk2

Virtob is also know as virut.

It depends on variant if it can be removed (or actually cured as it adds programs code to exe files).

But it is advisable to reformat, yes.

If you like to attempt cleaning, I can give you instructions.

Please

I think I would like to try and clean it. I have some files, mainly excel and word documents, that I would like to save. I know that this virus attaches itself to .exe and .scr files, but I am even hesitant to hook up an external hard drive in fear that it will pick up the infection.

Thanks for your assistance (again) Shaba!

Hi

"I have some files, mainly excel and word documents, that I would like to save. I know that this virus attaches itself to .exe and .scr files, but I am even hesitant to hook up an external hard drive in fear that it will pick up the infection."

You can burn them to CD/DVD.

Let's start with this:

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner. You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

• The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
• Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
  
  o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  
  + Extended (If available otherwise Standard)
  
  o Scan Options:
  
  + Scan Archives
  + Scan Mail Bases
  
• Click OK
• Now under select a target to scan select My Computer
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
• Please do not use your computer while the scan is running. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
• Click the Save Report As... button (see red arrow below)
  
  
• In the Save as... prompt, select Desktop
• In the File name box, name the file KasScan-ddmmyy (or similar)
• In the Save as type prompt, select Text file (see below)
  
  
• Now click on the Save as Text button
• Savethe file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Note: This scanner will work with Internet Explorer Only! Keep ALL other programs closed during the scan

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.

- a fresh HijackThis log
- kaspersky report

HiJack this is one of the files that avast said was infected. Should I download a new copy first or will it matter? Thanks.

Blackhawk2

Hi

Well new copy will get infected anyway so no need

Hi

OK, kaspersky doesn't seem to recognize it.

* Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe

• Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
• This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
• Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
• Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
• Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
• Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
• When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
  
• If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:
  
  
  
  This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
• After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
• Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
• Close Dr.Web Cureit.
• Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
• After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply.

Just as some added information, when avast first discovered the infection, the warning window popped up and then it asked if I wanted to do a scan. I selected yes, then when avast starts up, it does a system memory check. Avast found several infections in the start up memory. It then brought up a pop up window that said that a restart and recheck upon reboot is recommended. I said O.K. Computer re-booted and avast came up and did a full system scan. During the scan, it found several infected files and moved them to the chest, which is where I still believe they are (about 420files). I might be ableto post a screen capture if you would like.

Thanks again for your patience.

Blackhawk2

Hi

Thanks for info.

Yes, screen capture would be nice

I can't get a screen capture of avast. It won't paste in this window.

I'm not sure what to do to get you a picture of the avast chest. I know that there are 413 various executable files in my chest all that say that they have Win32:Virtob-gen. All show that they were last changed on 10/26/07 or 10/27/07, but all transfered to the chest on 4/29/08.

Sorry to be such a burden here.

Blackhawk2

Hi

You can upload it to eg. imageshack
and post back link here

Thanks

Here is the link:

This is only one of several pages in the chest. If you would like to see more, just let me know. Thanks again for your help.:red:

Blackhawk2

Hi

Are all of those in System Volume Information?

No

Well, all the ones that you can see in the screen capture are in the system restore, but like I said earlier, I can scroll down and there are several other executables that show the same virus infection.

Here are a few more screen shot links that show some of the other infected programs. Down in the lower left, you can see how many files are infected. All 413 are the same virus.

Let me know if you wish to see more. Thanks again.

Blackhawk2

Hi

Regarding to which files they are (windows own exes), I truly recommend reformatting, unfortunately.

Let me know if you need help with it.

O.k.

I think I will be able to handle that. I will just burn the word docs and excel docs to a disk and re-format. Thanks for all your assistance and patience. You guys all do a great job at these forums!!!

I will post back if I run into any issues. Thanks again.

Blackhawk2

Hi

Yes, you can backup any files except .exe and .scr.

If you need help with reformatting, see here

Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad I could help.

Note: If it has been five days or more since your last post, and the helper assisting you posted a response to that post to which you did not reply, your topic will not be reopened. At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a fresh HijackThis log and a link to your previous thread.

If it has been less than five days since your last response and you need the thread re-opened, please send me or your helper a private message (pm). A valid, working link to the closed topic is required.
