Can't even do "Before you Post" - this PC is HOSED!

Hello,

and HELP! My parents have (as they often do) enlisted my help to diagnose/repair their home PC. The current problem, however, boggles even my self-proclaimed computer savvy mind!

I've read thru the "Before you Post" post, and attempted to do the things called out therein - and am stumped, as I will explain eventually. First, let me provide some background.

1) IE has been hijacked. Google search provides relevant (and according to the URL, legit) search results. Clicking on any result opens a new window with some other search engine providing more search results for the original query. Firefox does not have this problem - google searches provide legit results and the results can be clicked to arrive at the appropriate listed page.

2) Windows App "Defrag" will not run.

3) Windows frequently "locks up" and requires a hard reboot.

4) AVG is the only spyware/etc sw app installed (other than built-in windows security), and the last scan reported multiple problems.

5) On last bootup, in the task bar, the Windows Update shield appeared briefly... it seems that Windows Update might have something that wants to run, but is being suppressed?

6) Haven't really tried any other utilities, but the apparent trend here is that nothing of diagnostic value will run?

Now on to the task of recovery...

1) I downloaded the ERUNT registry backup utility, ran it, and backed up the registry. Success.

2) I downloaded HJTInstall and ran it. It appeared to run (even showed up in the Task Manager List), but didn't fully open, i.e. no window appeared to actually begin install/use of the program.

3) I downloaded spybotsd162 & ran it - it completed install, created program group, etc. but won't "run". Same as HJT, it shows up in the task list but doesn't open up a UI window for scanning.

That's it. I'm going to need some expert guidance here!

Thanks,
Kyle
 
Hello Kyle,

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
  • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
 
Thank you, Blade81,

Results of script as follows. I'm not overly familiar with this PC, so I don't know if there's any windows-level script blockers running. Per DDS' instructions, I'm zipping & attaching attach.txt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This second script scan is after ending the process "teatimer." I know I should have done this the first time, but since spybot appeared to be getting suppressed by something, I thought I'd let it run during the first script scan. My apologies if this is nothing more than a waste of space! :)

Thanks for your time & help!

My apologies!

AVG has been running nightly for quite some time, and has documented numerous threats! I've done some reading of the forums, and see that "UAC..." is fairly well documented, and is apparently what I have. I've just initiated a full-computer scan via AVG, and already 12 threats have been found - all "UAC..." related. Here is the last-run AVG scan documented the previously found & "fixed" "UAC..." threats:

"Scan ""Scheduled scan"" was finished."

======== END OF REPORT ============================

I'll post the results of the latest scan upon completion. Please accept my apologies for my lack of posting this highly relevant information in my first post!

Hi,

Here comes further instructions (have TeaTimer disabled).


Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

  1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix, link
    Remember to re-enable them afterwards.

  2. Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt
New dds.txt log.

A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.
 
Thanks again, Blade81.

I followed the instructions on the link you provided, but to make a long story short, I got the same results as spybot & HJT - combofix showed up in the task manager processes list, but ended after about a minute. I tried running it twice, with the same results. It seems that whatever is infecting me is doing a damned good job of preventing any type of good diagnostic software from running!


I also did some searching around the nets and found an interesting article which gave me some ideas:
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/99609816/m/131008727931

The author discusses his encounter with a rootkit, and the steps he took to remove it. The main tool he used was a "disk editor," which allowed him to view the file tree from a low level, unhindered by the malicious software. In this way, he was able to disable the malicious files one by one until they could be detected & removed by his antivirus software (which also happened to be AVG 8, what I'm running).

I downloaded & tried 3 different disk editor programs, with the following results:
1) Acronis DiskDirectorSuite 10.0. Install failed with "E000101F4 : Acronis OS Selector has not found any hard disk drives." I was therefore unable to use this software.
2) DiskEdit by Microsoft, hosted by viennacomputerproducts.com. This standalone exe with associated dll's attached worked, however I apparently don't have the savvy to use it. It comes with no instructions for how to view a directory tree.
3)HxD Hex Editor. The install package actually worked, and the program ran. Slightly better interface than DiskEdit, however again I lack the savvy to get a directory tree displayed. After opening my root volume, all sectors when viewed in Hex showed up as '00 00 00..." This obviously is not right, which supports my theory that I don't know how to run a disk editor to view directory trees. double :(

The second scan with AVG completed early this morning, I'll post the results below. Other than that, unfortunately, I have no meaningful diagnostics to submit. I'd like some coaching on getting a low-level file tree so that I can post it here, or any other ideas you may have!

On second thought, I'm going to post the results of last night's AVG scan in another posting. Earlier when I tried to export the scan results to file, the computer froze & I had to reboot. Upon bootup, the computer gave me a BSOD. Finally the second bootup held. I've already typed this post twice, so to avoid having to repost a third time, please stand-by!

Cheers,
Kyle

Hi again,

Please don't try anything outside of instructions I give you.

Rename ComboFix.exe file -> CombFxx.exe and try running renamed file again.
