:sad: Assistance with possible Virtumonde?
Hi MRU Helpers! My WinXP Home appears to be infected by Virtumonde/Virtumonde.dll.
Baseline info: WinXP Home SP2 with Norton Internet Security 2007 (missed Virtumonde),
Windows Firewall is off, as it is superceded by the NIS2007 software. I typically
use Firefox 2.0.0.14 with NoScript (script blocker) as my main browser, and avoided
IE7 as much as possible until today to use the Kaspersky Scanner.
Problems: Three days ago, Firefox started to have problems of random URL redirection,
or timeouts. The same bookmarked URLs worked without problems before, and still
work in Safari 3.1.1. Now that I'm running IE7 to use the Kaspersky scanner, I'm
finding that the random URL redirection is worse than ever. iTunes/QT streaming/
WMP11 and other Internet traffic appear unaffected.
So far: Norton AV2007 reported no problems. Using Safari, I found & ran Spybot152
which detected -> Virtumonde/Virtumonde.dll infection. Finally worked my way to
this forum to find LOTS of others with Virtumonde infection. Hope you are not too
sick of assisting people with this annoying malware/virus.
:
*1* Unable to complete Kaspersky Scan:
I used IE7 to access the Kaspersky Online Antivirus Scanner. It bogged down after
about 45 minutes, and the process "lsass.exe" seemed to take over the CPU time. I
waited 5 hours, and the computer went into Sleep mode without completing the scan.
So I rebooted.
*2* Safemode - Spybot S&D Scan:
I ran Spybot S&D in Safemode. Virtumonde/Virtumonde.dll were detected. The scan
also highlited in RED 5 easily fixed tracking cookies from DoubleClick, etc. It also
flagged "Microsft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled", which is because I'm using NIS2007
in its place. I had Spybot S&D fixed all but the WSC item. Then ran spybot again as
suggested. However, on this second run, the computer seem to drag on during the scan.
Using Task Manager, I see that "lsass.exe" has again taken over 90% of CPU usage.
After 1 hour of no progress I rebooted and went back into SafeMode to scan again,
only Virtumonde.dll & the MS.WSC_disabled were flagged. I chose to fix only the
Virtumonde.dll, then cycled the power after the fix. Virtumonde.dll appears resistant
to the cleaning efforts. If I should fix the MS.WSC_disabled item, please let me know
and I'll do that before I follow your further instructions.
Started up Windows in normal fashion, lots of Command windows popping up during login.
Two RUNDLL errors remained after those command.exe windows went away, reporting that
neither "uwjvboww.dll" nor "obmuhpbb.dll' were not found in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\"

Thank you for your help! I'm using the browser Safari 3.1.1 to post this
as it appears not to be affected by the random URL redirections. Maybe
this info can help other people. :red:
Please let me know if I should fix the "Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled"
item in Spybot S&D as well before I follow your further instructions.
Thanks again!

Thank you for your help! I'm using the browser Safari 3.1.1 to post this
as it appears not to be affected by the random URL redirections. Maybe
this info can help other people. :red:
Please let me know if I should fix the "Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter_disabled"
item in Spybot S&D as well before I follow your further instructions.
Thanks again!
