S&D Teatimer going haywire...malware?

[domino66]

Hi, I originally piggy-backed / bumped someone else's post b/c a google search led me here and I seemed to have a similar problem to him, but was told that the appropriate process here was to follow the "before you post" instructions and start my own thread. I'm new here, so plz feel free to tell me if I'm doing something else wrong.

The problem: 2 days ago, all of a sudden the S&D Resident started going haywire, alerting me of a registry change denied (b/c I selected "remember this action the first time I denied it) roughly every 1 second. Here's what the bottom-right portion of me screen looks like:



The only difference between the post I bumped and my problem is that when I right-click the Resident icon and select Show Log, the text I see does NOT reference a oembio.exe process, but rather in its place a bootwindows.exe process. But I'm aware that this could be the same problem with simply a different malware filename. So the Resident.log file (for me) looks like:

(there are literally thousands of clone entries of the above...like I said, this S&D error msg is popping up every 1 second).

Some pertinent info:
- I use XP and run my school's corporate edition of Symantec Antivirus, and a complete scan comes up clean (also use S&D and AdAware)
- One other thing I noticed: Firefox has been REAAAALLY slow for me...like slowed to an absolute crawl, but IE, and all my other internet-based app's run just fine

What I've tried so far
- On the suggestion of a dif forum, I downloaded SUPERAntiSpyware and ran it, and it found something it labeled a Trojan.backdoor or something (sounds bad, obv) so I used the program to remove that file, but even after a reboot, S&D is still going haywire.

- I also ran Malwareybtes' Anti-Malware, and the results looked like this:


I had Anti-Malware clean/delete the nasty looking things, rebooted, but the S&D teatimer was still going haywire. It's not right now, but that's only because I followed the instructions in the "before you post" thread and disabled it.

Here is my HJT log. I highlighted one line in bold below b/c in eyeballing the log (i don't really know what any of it means), i saw that line, which seems similar to the error that S&D was flashing at me.

First time I have seen this one and I am showing this as a dangerous trojan:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bootwindows.exe <<< not a log of information available, but enough:

http://www.threatexpert.com/report.a...8111b474aed209

A keylogger program that can capture all user keystrokes (including confidential details such username, password, credit card number, etc.)

I believe you should look at this information:
This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files
I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.
Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS.

Thank you for your reply. A few things to start:

1) I read the "before you post" thread, as I mentioned; I must have missed the part about not posting images. Sorry, I thought they'd be helpful for a fixer.

2) About having tried other fixes first, you have to understand that these forums aren't necessarily the first place people will come for help, and that they will often have tried partial fixes on their own (as i did). Your reply implied that I was consciously flouting the instructions here. Please understand that I only tried what any reasonable person would have tried before discovering these forums, and was not consciously disregarding your instructions.

OK, on to the questions:

1) I know what a keylogger is...but is there any way to tell whether my keystrokes actually WERE logged and sent to a remote person/server? What I mean is that all we discovered to this point is that the bootwindows.exe file was on my computer, right? But it would be more helpful/scary if we were to determine whether any data actually WAS sent to a 3rd party without my consent. Is there a way to tell that?

2) How could I have picked up this virus...I always have my AVS and firewall running...?

3) I would NEVER have actually activated / run the bootwindows.exe file...but could it have been run anyway without my knowledge?

4) Should I go into the Windows/system32 directory and manually delete that file? i.e. you mention that the trojan can be "killed"...how? by just deleting it? Or by running some other type of program?

5)

I have provided the information I have available about this keylogger, I have no way of knowing the answers to your questions.

Here is some information that may help provide answers.

Yes, that file can be deleted, either manually or by a program/s that will look for any hidden malware not showing in the HJT log, but there is no way I can guarantee the computer is safe even when this is done.
