Firefox and IE Searches Re-Directed, SpyBot Will Not Run

Tholepins · Jul 19, 2009

Firefox and IE searches are re-directed.
SpyBotSD will not run, even when I removed and re-installed it.

I downloaded and ran ERUNT.

I downloaded and ran HJT. Here is the HJT log.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Bill

Hi,

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.

Thanks for your reply and guidance - much appreciated.

I tried to turn my computer on this morning, and I got a black screen with my mouse icon visible, which I could move around, but nothing else. I turned it off and was able to boot up in Safe Mode.

I downloaded DDS.SCR on another computer, transferred it to the infected one and ran it while in Safe Mode.

Here are the results. I've pasted the DDS.TXT below and attached the ATTACH.ZIP file.

Thanks again for your help.

IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Peer to Peer) File Sharing Programs on your computer.

BitTorrent
DNA

I'd like you to read this thread.

Please go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the programs listed above (in red).

After that:

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:

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.
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 (taken in normal mode if possible).

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.

Tholepins · Jul 20, 2009

I deleted the p2p software - I've learned my lesson the hard way.

I down loaded ComboFix.exe on another computer and transferred it to the desktop of the infected computer that is running in Safe Mode.

I double-clicked to run it and nothing happens. I deleted it from the desktop, downloaded ComboFix.exe from the second source provided and tried again with the same result - I double-click to run it and nothing happens. When I double-click, the hard drive light quickly flashes once, that's it, nothing else happens.

In Safe Mode the system tray is empty so I assume ZoneAlarm, Avast, etc, are all off and not interfering with this process.

I'm prepared to re-load WindowsXP and start fresh if this is looking grim... After reading the p2p link you sent, it seems clear I used high-risk software without understanding the risks.

Suggestions?

Blade81 · Jul 21, 2009

Hi,

Please rename ComboFix.exe file -> Tholepins.exe before transferring it to the system with issue.

Tholepins · Jul 21, 2009

I renamed ComboFix.exe to Tholepins.exe before loading onto the infected computer and it worked like a charm.

However - when I double-click to start, I got a warning: "avast! antivirus active".

The infected computer is running in Safe Mode and the system tray is empty so I assumed ZoneAlarm, Avast, etc. are not running. When I open Avast from the Start/AllPrograms buttons, it shows that Resident Protection is Disabled.

Suggestions?

Please note: I will be on travel until Friday, 24July09.

Thanks for your continued support.

Blade81 · Jul 21, 2009

Hi,

If the Avast shield is not active then ignore the warning message. Thanks for the heads up regarding your travelling

Tholepins · Jul 24, 2009

ComboFix ran successfully.

Here are the two reports [attached].

Thanks again for your help.

Blade81 · Jul 25, 2009

Welcome back

Looks like you posted ComboFix log twice. Please post a fresh dds.txt log too (re-run DDS to get one).

Tholepins · Jul 25, 2009

Oops - difficulty with following simple instructions ;>)

Here is the DDS.txt [below] and the ATTACH.zip [attached].

This was run in Normal Mode.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi again,

IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Peer to Peer) File Sharing Programs on your computer.

DNA

I'd like you to read this thread.

Please go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the programs listed above (in red).

After that:

Uninstall these vulnerable Flash versions:
Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX

Uninstall old Adobe Reader versions and get the latest one (9.1 + 9.1.2 update for it) here or get Foxit Reader here. Make sure you don't install toolbar if choose Foxit Reader! You may also check free readers introduced here.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update to the latest version...

Updating Java:

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 14.
Click the
Download
button to the right.
Select Windows on platform combobox and check the box that says:
Accept License Agreement. Click continue.
The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u14-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version. Uncheck MSN toolbar if it's offered there.

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Code:

DDS::
uURLSearchHooks: N/A: {4d25f926-b9fe-4682-bf72-8ab8210d6d75} - 

File::
c:\windows\system32\ESQULzcounter

Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\security center\Monitoring\ZoneLabsFirewall]
"DisableMonitoring"=-

Save this as
CFScript

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

Close all browser windows and refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into Tholepins.exe
Then post the resultant 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.

Download ATF (Atribune Temp File) Cleaner© by Atribune to your desktop.

Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe to open it

If you use Opera:
Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Please run an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner as instructed in the screenshot here.

Post back its report, a fresh dds.txt log and above mentioned ComboFix resultant log.

Tholepins · Jul 27, 2009

I removed the Flash Player ActiveX versions.

I removed the old Adobe Reader and installed V9.1 plus update.

I removed the old Java and installed V6 Update14.

I could not find "DNA" in Add/Remove Programs. I had assumed it was removed when I uninstalled "BitTorrent" per your earlier instructions.

In C:/Program Files I found a folder called BitTorrentDNA. It contained a single file called "npbtdna.dll". I removed the file and the folder.

I've attached the ComboFix log, the dds log, and the Kaspersky log.

Also, I just thought of searching for "DNA" using Windows Explorer. If it helps, the search found the following five files which I didn't recognize:

DNARY.MDB
normidna.nls
normidna.nlp
idna.pyc
stdnames.gpd

Thanks again for your continued help.

Hi,

Check email messages in following post files and delete suspicious looking messages:
C:\Documents and Settings\Will\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst
E:\Billz Stuff\12-28 Files\Eudora\In.mbx
E:\Billz Stuff\12-28 Files\outlook.pst

Avast seems to be outdated. Let it update itself at this point, please.

When done, post a fresh dds.txt log and let me know how's the system running. Anymore symptoms?

Tholepins · Jul 27, 2009

Updated Avast.

The computer seems to be running fine and start-ups seem faster too.

Here is the DDS.txt [below].

Thanks again for all your help. I really appreciate it.

"Kiitos avustanne"...!

"Kiitos avustanne"...!

You're welcome

Well congrats, it appears your system is all clean Are you still noticing any problems? If not, it's time to secure your system to prevent against further intrusions.

THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis

Now lets uninstall ComboFix:

Click START then RUN
Now type Tholepins /u in the runbox and click OK

You may delete DDS and HijackThis too.

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.

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:
1. [*]Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) [*]Click run [*]In the dialog box, type services.msc [*]hit enter, then locate dns client [*]Highlight it, then double-click it. [*]On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. [*]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.
If you don't have a 3rd party firewall or a router behind NAT then I recommend getting one. I recommend either Online Armor Free or Comodo Firewall Pro (If you choose Comodo: Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and install firewall ONLY!). Both providers have support forums that help with configuration related questions.

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.
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
