New member
My brother stayed with me last night, and when I came home from work my computer is completely over run with malware. I cannot access any programs, and my background is changed to some warning about being infected. I am getting constant pop ups as well. I cannot run Spybot S&D, but I did manage a HJT log file from safe mode. PLease help my guys. You have helped me in the past and it is so very appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Hmmm... well now I am in regular mode and I cannot access my HJT log file. Any suggestions on how I can get you guys the information you need?
 
Hi Scofield,

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.
 
Hi and thanks for the response. I tried to run DDS, however every program that I attempt to run won't start. I get a pop up that says the application cannot run because it is infected, please activate your antivirus software. The "antivirus software" is something called "system securtity" with a black and yellow sheild as the icon. Spybot won't start in safe mode, and any thing I download in regular mode doesn't show up in safe mode. System Restore is disabled, and I cannot re enable because no program will open. Please any suggestions from here would be a god send.
 
Hi,

Are you able to run DDS in safe mode (save it to root of your system drive, e.g. C:\ )?
 
I will attempt to. Thanks for helping me blade.... I will post results as soon as I can. If I can just get my foot in the door then we can disable this thing.
 
Hi. okay, here goes.... DDS.txt

Good. Let's do some cleaning next :)

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 (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.
 
Hiya Blade.... followed your instructions, hopefully did it right. Ran Combofix and am in normal mode now, with so far no sign of infection. Below is combofix log. Thanks!

Hi again,

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


LimeWire


I'd like you to read this thread.

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



After that:

Uninstall these vulnerable Java versions:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9


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

Code: 
File::
c:\windows\msb.exe

Folder::
c:\program files\LimeWire


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.

CFScriptB-4.gif


Close all browser windows and refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.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.

Post back its report, a fresh dds.txt log and above mentioned ComboFix resultant log.
 
hi Blade. Okay, couldn't uninstall Limewire because it doesn't show up in the add/remove programs list. I was going to try manually but I want to follow your instructions first. Did everything else requested, the online scan revealed nothing on a critical systems scan. My log.txt file won't post because it's really large, keeps freezing up my computer. Not sure how to zip it. Here is my DDS.txt log. let me know how to proceed and thanks again!

Hi

Please see here for a tutorial how to create zip archive. Then post the log as an attachment in your reply :)
 
still need to get rid of limewire i think.
Click to expand...
See if c:\program files\limewire folder still exists. If it does, delete it.

Did you run Kaspersky online scanner yet (instructions posted a few posts earlier)?
 
Okay, deleted Limewire folder from D drive. Ran a search afterward and deleted what else showed up. Ran the online scan and I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm posting the report correctly. I will try though.....

Thanks for the compliments :)

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



We need to re hide system files. To do so, please follow the steps below:
  1. Double-click My Computer.
  2. Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
  3. Click the View tab.
  4. Put a check by
    Hide file extensions for known file types.
  5. Under the
    Hidden files
    folder, select
    Show hidden files and folders.
  6. Check
    Hide protected operating system files.
  7. Click Apply, and then click OK.


Now lets uninstall ComboFix:
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type "c:\documents and settings\goodpaster\Desktop\ComboFix.exe" /u in the runbox and click OK


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 :cool:
