Post removal situation

Greetings. I hope ill get responses, for this situation has reached a point that may be appealing to some users. The situation consists in the apparition of the malware named Virtumonde in between other spyware during the scanning of my pc right after windows detected an infection, as well as after I noticed some programs that were installing themselves
and reducing the pc's performance significantly. What happened is that I managed to remove most of the spyware that ur program detected, but as mentioned by the information base u provide, the adware Virtumonde has a particular function which hides the rundll32.exe file so that u cannot reconfigure the comp settings, especially the display it applies to the desktop with the fallacious warning from windows security center. I am currently at this point now. It is the only thing I have left to solve. It would be appreciated to recieve some tips for this situation.


Here is my Hijack this log:

Hi supraquanta

Rename HijackThis.exe to dumb.exe and post back a fresh HijackThis log, please :)
 
if I didn't knew what the forums were for this message will actually be a donation to the site. Thanks for responding anyway.

Hi

Just follow my previous instructions.

If you don't understand them, then ask :)
 
:rotfl: Hello again Shaba. Thanks for responding. I have managed to delete more trojans and spyware by now and can have access to the control panel, however, the blue background in the desktop is still present and the display properties are still locking the backgrounds.

Hi

Ok, HijackThis is still unrenamed.

Rename HijackThis.exe to dumb.exe by doing the following;

  • Navigate here using Windows Explorer (windows button + E) or My Computer -> Local Disk C: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
  • Right-click on the HijackThis.exe
  • Choose from the pull-down menu; "Rename"
  • And now Rename HijackThis.exe to dumb.exe
  • When you've renamed HijackThis, open HijackThis again.
  • Take a fresh HijackThis log (click Do a system scan and save a log file)
  • Post the fresh HijackThis log here.
 
OK I thought it was an insult. Heres the log of the renamed executable.

Hi

It might be possible that some infections prevent combo from running.

Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows

Please click this link-->Jotti

When the jotti page has finished loading, click the Browse button and navigate to the following file and click Submit.

c:\fawcci.exe

Repeat step for these:

c:\lgdnmd.exe
c:\windows\system32\smss5.exe

Please post back the results of the scan in your next post.

If Jotti is busy, try the same at Virustotal: http://www.virustotal.com/
 
Great site BTW. Here are the results:

Hi

One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan.

It may have infected all your executable files.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

We can attempt to clean this machine but i can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post.
 
Well Shaba, I would desire to apply both of the approaches. Ill back up all the retrievable applications and data. Though there is no information stored in my pc that can be considered as critical or compromised, it has been exposed under circumstances that can allow hackers to resume previous infiltration attempts.

Just to let u know, the Antivirus and spyware applications that are currently installed in this computer are:

A Squared free
A Squared Hijack free
Spyware Terminator
yours

It also possesses A squared Anti Dialer


First I would like to apply your approach. If I percieve that my computer continues to proyect suspicious behavior, I ll reformat and reinstall the OS.
 
Hi

Then we continue this way:

Download suspicious file packer from here

Unzip it to desktop, open it & paste in the list of files below, press next & it will create an archive (zip/cab file) on desktop

C:\fawcci.exe
c:\lgdnmd.exe
c:\windows\system32\smss5.exe

Go to spykiller

Press new topic, make threads title "Files for Shaba"
Include to your message a link to here, then attach the cab/zip file to your message and post the topic
If you cant locate it through the browse button just copy/paste the filename and path.

After that, reply and we'll continue :)
 
Hi

Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only and checkmark these:

O2 - BHO: IE Image Helper - {2B2C445C-6C7C-879B-8AC9-B4ACCBD8E4DF} - C:\WINDOWS\system\wmcctv32.dll

O24 - Desktop Component 0: (no name) - C:\Program Files\Messenger\rteremej.html

Close all windows including browser and press fix checked.

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
  • Choose your usual account.
  • Delete these if present:
    C:\fawcci.exe
    c:\lgdnmd.exe
    c:\windows\system32\smss5.exe
    C:\Program Files\Messenger\rteremej.html
    C:\WINDOWS\system\wmcctv32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\winpol.exe
    Empty Recycle Bin.
  • Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  • It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
    (Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
  • Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum

Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop. Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.
  1. Close all applications and windows.
  2. Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
  3. When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
  4. Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and the extra.txt to your post. in your reply

Post:

- sdfix report
- main.txt
- extra.txt
 
When running the renamed Hijack This .exe, it did not found the following files :

O4-HKLM\..\Run:[winpol]C:\WINDOWS\system32\winpol.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ShareSearcher] c:\lgdnmd.exe

This also happened when running Hijack This without the renaming.
 
Hi

Do you mean that those entries don't exist?

If not, just move on please :)

This file at least does exist (you uploaded it jotti etc.):

c:\lgdnmd.exe
 
Well the files really do not appear in the results.
Should I remove the ones that do appear and continue with the rest of the steps or should I do something else?
