More Virtumonde

[jeff17r]

All went smoothly. Just a note, the JRE download page is set up very slightly differently than your instructions - may have changed since your standard instructions were written. I had to select my Platform (Windows vs Windows x64 (took the former), and a number of non MS systems), then click continue, then download the proper file. For the next person.

I had CCleaner remove everything except the cookies in IE and Firefox, and the SpyBot files.

Malwarebytes did not find any infected files on the quick scan.

Logs follow. I re-ran HJT after Malwarebytes - this is the log shown below. I also saved the log from Step 3 last time if you need to see that.

Thank you again,
Jeff

Thanks for the note about Java.

Step # 1 Update Adobe Acrobat Reader

There is a newer version of Adobe Acrobat Reader available. (See Note below)

• First, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all previous versions.
• Please go to this link Adobe Acrobat Reader Download Link
• On the right Untick Adobe Phototshop Album Starter Edition if you do not wish to include this in the installation.
• Click the Continue button
• Click Run, and click Run again
• Next click the Install Now button and follow the on screen prompts

Note: Adobe 9 is a large program and if you prefer a smaller program you can get Foxit 2.0 instead from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php


Step # 2: Run Kaspersky Online Scan

Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

1. Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
2. It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
3. When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
4. Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
   • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
     Archives
     Mail databases
5. Click on My Computer under Scan.
6. Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
7. You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....
8. Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
9. Please post this log in your next reply.

In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:

1. Kaspersky Log
2. A fresh HiJackThis Log
3. How is your computer doing, any problems?

[jeff17r]

To answer number 3 on your request list first, the computer seems to be running great - better at this point than just before Vmonde struck, which I suppose is not surprising considering the amount of other adware etc. that has been cleaned off since then. No problems at all that I've been able to see since a few posts back now. Thank you many many times over for all your help with this. The Kaspersky and HJT logs follow.

The only things found with Kaspersky were in the Qoobox folder which is where ComboFix quarantines files. I'll show how to remove ComboFix (which will remove the Qoobox folder as well) in this post.

Your latest HJT log looks good and if there are no more problems, then you are good to go.

To remove ComboFix, do the following:

Go to Start > Run - type in ComboFix /u & click OK

Delete CFScript.txt from Desktop, if still there.

Empty your Recycle Bin.

You can also re-enable Teatimer as well.


Please take the time to read my All Clean Post.

Please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point

• Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
• Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
• Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
• Select the More options tab
• Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
• This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

.

Clearing your restore points is not something you should do on a regular basis. Normally, this process only needs to be done after clearing out an infestation of malware.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure This can be done by following these simple instructions:

1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
2. Click once on the Security tab
3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
4. 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
5. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
6. If it asks you if you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
7. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

Set correct settings for files that should be hidden in Windows XP

• Click Start > My Computer > Tools menu (at top of page) > Folder Options > View tab.
• Under "Hidden files and folders" if necessary select Do not show hidden files and folders.
• If unchecked please checkHide protected operating system files (Recommended)
• If necessary check "Display content of system folders"
• If necessary Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
• Click OK

• Use An Antivirus Software and Keep It Updated - It is very important that your computer has an antivirus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. It is imperative that you update your antivirus software at least once a day. If you do not update your antivirus software, then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
• Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently It is important that you visit Microsoft Windows Update regularly. This will ensure your computer has 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.
• Install SpywareBlaster SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. An article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:
  Computer Safety on line Anti Malware
• Use the hosts file: Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate web pages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain web pages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional. Download mvps hosts file 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:
  
  1. Click the start button on the task bar at the bottom of your screen
  2. Click run
  3. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  4. hit enter, then locate dns client
  5. Highlight it, then doubleclick it.
  6. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  7. Click ok..
• Use an alternative instant messenger program.Trillian and Miranda IM These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
• Please read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place
• Please read Understanding Spyware, Browser Hijackers, and Dialers
• Please read Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet
• If you are using Internet Explorer, please consider using an alternate browser: Mozilla's Firefox or
  Opera.
  If you decide to use either FireFox or Opera, it is very important that you keep them up to date and check frequently for updates of the browser of your choice.
• Update all these programs regularly Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
• If your computer was infected by a website, a program, IM, MSN, or p2p, check this site because it is Time To Fight Back.

Follow these steps and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Here's a good website to read about Malware prevention:

Good luck!


Please reply one last time so that I know you have read my post and this thread can be closed.

Thank you very much once more for all of your help, and for the plethora of information linked off your last post. I have gone through the list now and done nearly all of it, as well as installed a 3rd party firewall. All appears to be running fantastically now and I have to say I am quite relieved. I have a couple more questions regarding all of this if you have time for them:

-It appears that SpywareBlaster only helps if I'm using IE, is that correct? If so, and I am using Firefox (except to connect to specific, trusted sites that will only deal with IE), is there any advantage in having it? (This is the only step in your All Clear Post I haven't done yet.)

-As a followup, what about SpywareGuard? As far as I follow, they protect against different things (infection/invasion via ActiveX vs. BHOs) but only SW-Blaster only deals with IE, while SW-Guard is generalized to Windows. Though then again, the BHO problems we cleaned up earlier were all IE-related. Probably I don't grasp the whole picture (especially don't know what if any connection there is between ActiveX and BHOs), so can you fill me in here if it can be done in a reasonable amount of time? If not a recommendation on which program to use if not both considering that I run Firefox would also be appreciated.

-What effect does hiding the system and hidden files in Windows actually have? If something targets them, won't it find them anyway? Also, why do you say to show the file extensions? I prefer to see them myself, just curious what advantage it has.


On an unrelated note, I forgot to mention last time that the Java download site from your previous post is also changed slightly from the instructions, though even less than the last one I mentioned.

Also, strangely, two of your links (http://malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=54#54; http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showtopic=5931) recommend the free FW ZoneAlarm, but link to completely different domains which allow you to download different .exe installers for this program...I couldn't tell if this was the same program or not in the end so went with Kerio.... Not much else to do on that one, just thought it was enough out of the ordinary for an honorable mention.

Many many thanks, and keep up the wonderful work,
Jeff

SpywareBlaster will work with both IE and Firefox. For IE, it will block bad ActiveX from loading on your computer. It will also block any bad cookies and websites from loading on your comp. For Firefox, it just blocks bad/malicious cookies.

-As a followup, what about SpywareGuard? As far as I follow, they protect against different things (infection/invasion via ActiveX vs. BHOs) but only SW-Blaster only deals with IE, while SW-Guard is generalized to Windows. Though then again, the BHO problems we cleaned up earlier were all IE-related.

If not a recommendation on which program to use if not both considering that I run Firefox would also be appreciated.

I myself have never used SpywareGuard. But reading through its webpage, it sounds like it would be a good compliment to SpywareBlaster. Since SpywareBlaster doesn't have real-time protection (it won't warn you if something is going to happen, it'll just block it from happening), SpywareGuard would be a good tool to use.

As for BHOs and ActiveX, I'm not super familiar with how either work, just know how to clean/remove them if need be. Here is a link on ActiveX and BHOs if want some info on how they work.

-What effect does hiding the system and hidden files in Windows actually have? If something targets them, won't it find them anyway? Also, why do you say to show the file extensions? I prefer to see them myself, just curious what advantage it has.

Hiding system files is the default for Windows XP. Helpers such as myself often asks people we help to unhide these files/folders, so they (the helpee/victim) can easily find any malicious files/folders we need them to delete. We have them rehid them so they don't go accidently deleting any of the legit files/folders that are normally hidden from view.

As for showing file extensions, its done so that people know what file is they are clicking on. Makes it easier in case they need help again and someone says to run this .exe or .bat file then they would know which file to click on. Becuase you'll have two files with the same name but different extensions and there are some computer users who won't know what one to click on.

Also, strangely, two of your links (http://malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=54#54; http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showtopic=5931) recommend the free FW ZoneAlarm, but link to completely different domains which allow you to download different .exe installers for this program...I couldn't tell if this was the same program or not in the end so went with Kerio.... Not much else to do on that one, just thought it was enough out of the ordinary for an honorable mention.

Not sure what is up with that. Both those link are fairly old (2004 and 2005 respectively) and the those who wrote them would have to update them, but they have good information nonetheless. Just have to wait on them updating those sites with new information/tools, whenever they have the time to do so.

Great to know all of that - thank you one last time for all your help and info.
