Search Results Redirect Virus

Hi,

I was just looking over your log and just want to make sure this file is gone.

You need to enable windows to Show all Files and Folders
Instructions for your Operating System HERE


C:\Documents and Settings\pmaslos\Local Settings\Temp\pxtdypob.sys <--This file, right click on it and delete it, let me know if it was present and would not delete
 
I'm back. Sorry about that! I checked for the file "pxtdypob.sys" and it's not there. I doubled checked my setting to "show all files" also.

Things have been working fine and I ran a Malwarbytes Quick Scan on Wednesday. We left the computer on overnight last night with two of us logged in, but nothing really running, I had IE open and my wife had Excel open but not any workbooks. When whe logged off this morning she received the message "Ending program sw". Is this some type of spyware??

Off to run a Malwarebytes, Spybot and AVG scan...

Thanks for keeping on top of this!!
 
Hi, That me be related to Silent Spy which is a rogue program.

You may have to Download SystemLook again

Please download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2

  • Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
  • Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
    Code:
    :reg
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • Click the Look button to start the scan.
  • When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.
Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt
 
The SystemLook output is below, and an HJT log too, just in case??

See if any of these are present, make sure you still have windows enabled to show all files and folders

C:\Silent-Spy.cnt
C:\Silent-Spy.hlp
C:\Wlp.sys
C:\Wlg.sys
C:\SW.htm

C:\SSS <--folder
 
Didn't find any of them. I even searched for all of them and the only thing even similar was:

C:\Documents and Settings\pmaslos\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\sw.gif

And what's weird is it shows up twice in the search results.
 
Run this cleaner to clean that folder out

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.
  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  • Under Main choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
Your system may start up slower after running ATF Cleaner, this is expected but will be back to normal after the first or second boot up
Please note: If you use online banking or are registered online with any other organizations, ensure you have memorized password and other personal information as removing cookies will temporarily disable the auto-login facility.

You have Spybot Search and Destroy installed, make sure its the latest version , open Spybot and go to Help > About and it should be version 1.6.2, if not uninstall it via Add Remove Programs and download and install the latest version. Then run it, if Silent Spy or part of it is present Spybot will remove it. I dont need to see any report but when its done, see if Silent Spy was flagged to remove and let me know

Ran ATF Cleaner and Spybot, no immediate threats were found.

I did a search of the entire hard drive for *.log files yesterday just to see if SW had created a log. Didn’t find anything related to that, but it looks like Qwest (our DSL provider) may have been running some checks or updates as there were logs in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Support.com\profiles\dmasloski\{qwest}\logs. I copied the entries in the protect.log for November below. Not sure that it’s related, but I wonder if they were using sw to monitor things during the update?? May seem far fetched, but thought I’d pass it along. Probably worth a call to Qwest as to what they are probing and protecting. Your thoughts??

Thanks again!!!

Hi, Dont know much about what Quest does, I guess a call to them to ask wouldn't hurt.

I will leave this thread open for you for a few days, any other issues just post back.
