Problems with Virtumonde & uploading files to websites

[sribashyam]

Hello,

I have a P4, 2.4 Ghz, 512 MB-RAM, running on Win XP PRO-SP2. 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 cleaned my system using AVG Free edition & a multi-av scanner (multi_av.exe) - they found quite a number of files and I cleaned some and some I deleted. Most of them were DLLs found in System32 folder and entries from Restore folders.
I even used Spybot and found a BHO - VIRTUMONDE & VIRTUMONDE.GENERIC. But, everytime I run Spybot it detects Virtumonde and clean it 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.
And all of sudden from the last 2,3 days i am not able to attach any files to my email in yahoo/gmail or even upload files to some content sharing websites, I wonder if this is also the work of some virus sitting in my system ?????


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 :

Save this as
CFScript




Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
Then post the resultant log & a fresh hjt log.


Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

Hi Blade81,

Thanks very much for your guidance so far. This removal thing is getting very interesting for me.. Below is the logs as requested.

Note: The combofix took hardly 10mins so I didn't bother to have a look at the Taskbar for the processes to be killed.

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

Once the scan is complete:

• Click on the Save as Text button.
• Save the file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information into your next post. Tell me also how's system running.
• If the results of the anti virus scan itself will take more than one post to contain, you can upload report to http://rapidshare.com.

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 bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license has been accepted, reset to 100%.

To set default security settings for Internet Explorer:

* Open Internet Explorer.
* Go to the Tools menu, then choose Internet Options.
* Click on the Security tab.
* Make sure that all four item (Internet, Local intranet, Trusted sites, and Restricted sites) are set to their default settings.

Im very curious to know how you identify the malaware & its removal methods by reading these absolutely wierdly named files.??

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

• Comodo BOCLEAN <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
• Download Adaware
  Adaware is a free program. It scans for known spyware on your computer. These scans should be run at least once every two weeks. For more information, see this tutorial
  The program is available for download here
• Download Spybot
  Spybot is a scanner like adaware. It scans for spyware and other malicious programs. It is important to have both Adaware and Spybot on your computer because each program provides unique detection and pretection measures. Spybot has preventitive tools that stop programs from even installing on your computer.
  To see how to set this up as well as more spybot features, see here
  Spybot can be downloaded at this location
• Download SpywareBlaster
  Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
  kill bits
  in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
  If you don't know what activex controls are, see here
  You can download SpywareBlaster here here
  SpywareBlaster tutorial
  
• Download iespyad
  It puts many bad webpages on your restricted zones list. This means that you can still view the
  bad
  webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).
  If you need help understanding how it works, there is a tutorial here
  Download it here
  
• hosts file:
  
  • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
  • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
  • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
  • However, it can slow down certain computers.
  • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
  
  Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
  If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  
  2. Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
  3. Click run
  4. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  5. hit enter, then locate dns client
  6. Highlight it, then double-click it.
  7. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  8. Click ok
  
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this webpage out.
  See here to choose one

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade
