Pipas.A :(

Hi guys! Unfortunately I recently found out that my computer has been infected with Pipas.A using Spybot S&D:( It frustrates me because I've always been able to keep my computer clean from a single spyware for a long time, and now suddenly I'm getting a lot of spywares, including this one. I managed to get rid of all spywares except for this one. I use Avast! Antivirus which automatically updates itself, and Zonealarm Firewall which also automatically updates itself. I also use many types of Spyware programs to make sure that spywares stay away, so I'm pretty protected. I'm surprised I got this one. Can it be the reason for my SUDDEN major slowdowns, and Windows sometimes freezing during boots? I hope so.

I've read other threads on this spyware, so I ran HijackThis to help you. Here it is:

Well for some odd reason it seems Pipas.A no longer exists after the Fixwipeout. I ran Spybot S&D just out of curiosity to see if it was still there, and to my amazement it wasn't. Was it Fixwipeout that got rid of it, or is it still lurking somewhere there?

Hit fix checked and close Hijackthis.
Restart the PC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manualy delete these files if they still exist
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CSUKU.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DMGYC.EXE
Your antivirus might delete when you get close to them, thats fine.

delete c:\fixwareout, it wont be needed any longer.

Note:
If You have connection problems or those 017's ~ 85.255.114.38 85.255.112.7, return >
Before doing this write down all the settings, Note that not all system/setups even have these settings, While some connection service's will require them.
In the windows control panel. If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and left click on properties.
Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically
Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.
Do that for every conntection listed.

Post a fresh hijackthis log please, be sure to mention any current problems.
 
Thanks a lot LonnyRJones! I tried to do everything exactly as you told me, and I think I managed good in every step without too much complexity.

There seems to be no problems as of now. Thanks a lot! I will gladly return when I get a new problem, which I really do not hope! Thanks once again!
 
As the problem appears to be resolved this topic has been archived.

If you need it re-opened please send me or your helper a private message (pm) and provide a link to the thread; this applies only to the original topic starter.

Glad we could help.
 
Okay so I wanted to re-open this thread because I felt that I'm getting slowdowns for no apparent reason. I just want you guys to read my logfiles and make sure there isn't any malware left on my computer.

Hi
Slowdowns as in Browsers or the PC ?

When you suspect a virus/trojan or bots or the pc is just plain acting wierd get more opinions
post a report from one or both of these free online scans.

Panda ActiveScan-Free online scanner,
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm
Do a full scan > Click the my computer button
After the scan click see report then Save the report and post it back here please.
Kaspersky Lab - Free Online scan:
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Click scan settings and place a check next to use [x]extended this database etc etc. Click ok.
Then choose: my computer: scan all your hard drives and mapped disks.
when finished click save as text and post that in your reply.
We dont need to see item's listed as "Object is locked skipped" so edit those out.
We do not need to see items reported that are in an antivirus quorantine folder.
 
Well I ran Fixwareout just now, so I might as well just post the logfile:


Fixwareout ver 1.003

I'm working on the free online scans you provided. I'll post them immidiately after I finnished scanning.
 
When I pressed on the My Computer button, it tells me to enter my country and email adress, and then wants me to install some kind of program called ActiveX, is that the one you wanted me to press on?
 
Avast alerted when Panda activex was installing ?

You should go let the people at avast know about that later.

Allow it
 
Here is the result of the scan (quite a lot of spyware actually):
