Hi, this is Anne.

I'm posting about the second of three computers.
My aim is to clean them all out in order to install Windows SP2.

This computer had Pest Capture, like I read about in other threads.
I think I removed the Zlob with Spybot.

However, it's obvious this computer is rife with pests and I am in serious trouble here.

As per the instructions "before you post", I ran HouseCall. (Explorer wouldn't work, so I used Firefox and needed HouseCall rather than Panda.) HouseCall took 24 hours to complete the scan. I would like to post its log, but I do not see the button. When I clicked "clean up", it told me that important information might be lost if I proceeded, so I cancelled the cleanup and left the results on screen. I dared not clean up before I got your advice.

Instead of a proper log, I'll give you a screen copy of the results. Please bear with me - help me find the log button? (It's too stupid for words... sorry...)

While this ran, my McAfee and Antivir reported numerous other problems, such as
- Exploit-ObscuredHtml
- VBS/Psyme
- JS/Exploit-GB.gen
TR/Dldr.Zlob.AHV
TR/Java.Downloader.Gen (twice)
TR/Dldr.Zlob.bis.1
JS/OpenConnect.J.3
apparently all deletable...

Hope this machine can be saved.

Thanks a million.....

Anne

General information about this type of malware.

This JAVA malware is found in malicious Web sites as part of a Web page applet. It comes in the form of a compiled Java class, and may be called from an HTML page.

It exploits the ByteVerifier vulnerability in unpatched versions of Microsoft (MS) Java Virtual Machine, which could allow a file to be downloaded and executed without a userÂ’s knowledge.

It connects to the following Web site where it downloads a file and saves it as LOADNEW.EXE:

hxxx://ifralars.biz/dl/loadadv479.exe

It then executes the file, which is detected by Trend Micro as TROJ_SMALL.OI.

Some infections of this malware could not be removed automatically! You can manually select "Remove" and perform another "cleanup" to try and solve this problem.

General information about this type of grayware/spyware.

Adware is software that displays advertising banners on Web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla. While not categorized as malware, many users consider adware invasive. Adware programs often create unwanted effects on a system, such as annoying popup ads and, in some instances, the degradation in either network connection or system performance.

Adware programs are typically installed as separate programs that are bundled with certain free software. Many users inadvertently agree to installing adware by accepting the End User License Agreement (EULA) on the free software.

Adware are also often installed in tandem with spyware programs. Both programs feed off of each other's functionalities - spyware programs profile users' Internet behavior, while adware programs display targeted ads that correspond to the gathered user profiles.

Sorry Tashi

Hi there Tashi,
I noticed you had to disable a link that I posted.
I'll double-check my post next time before I upload.
The problem is my screen didn't show the text I posted...
HouseCall is "idle" and its links to further information do not work.
Interestingly, the underlying text did appear when I posted flat text in the forum.
Thanks,
Anne
 
Change of tactics, hold your horses!

Hi people,
My computer was so slow and the HouseCall stuff so useless, that I decided to change tactics and follow the advice I got for my first computer.
ASAP, I will report back with amended problem descriptions.
Till then, thanks,
Anne
 
Second round

Hello people,

Since my last post on computer #2, I took the following steps:
- uninstalled McAfee, now only AntiVir running. [I left the log on the computer, probably a mistake?]
- upgraded Java
- ran SpyBot, nothing came up
- ran AVG-check, saved log
- ran AntiVir, saved log
- ran Panda with Explorer, log below
- ran HiJackThis, log below
in this order.

If AVG and AntiVir results are relevant, please let me know.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Thanx, Anne

First, the Panda file:

Hi there,
Decided to mark my post, since it may look like work is in progress (me having posted a couple of times myself) when it isn't.
Hope to get in touch...
Thanks,

Hello Anne and welcome back. I promise to look at all of the information you posted, I am sure it is important, but I am a bit tired after swinging my sword to kill malware since 4:30 AM EST. I want to start you with information and suggestions.

C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlus.exe <<< while not technically malware, please read what CastleCops has to say about this junk:
http://www.castlecops.com/startuplist-2034.html
I suggest you uninstall it in Add Remove Programs.

Spyware Assassin v.4.0 <<< this is a rouge malware program, see this: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
SpywareAssassin spywareassassin.com
maxtheater.com

and it should not be on your computer.

C:\malwareprogrammas\HijackThis.exe <<< make sure you do not store anything in that folder except HJT related. If you have other programs in that folder, move HJT.exe to C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe. Move the log that is there also.

You have items in your log that are resource wasters and related to the Alexa toolbar. Few folks use Alexa, if you are one who does, make me aware in your next post.

The N4 lines related to Mozilla. Do you have any idea what they are? I am not real familiar with Mozilla in the HJT log, look here:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.php
What to do:
Usually the Netscape and Mozilla homepage and search page are safe. They rarely get hijacked, only Lop.com has been known to do this. Should you see an URL you don't recognize as your homepage or search page, have HijackThis fix it.

What I fear is that this is the case because of this junk:
MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlus.exe which is downloaded with LOP/C2Media if the sponsor program is downloaded with it. This would mean whoever did this neglected to read the EULA agreement. See what you can tell me about this, we may have to remove LOP which can be a pain.

Instructions:
Download Smitfraudfix from here: http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php
Follow only these instructions:
Search:
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Please post that C:\rapport.txt and the information I requested above. Save any other scan reports or logs you have in case I ask for them.

This one may take a while and I suggest you keep the computer offline except when necessary until we get it clean.

Thanks...Phil
 
Thanks

Hi Phil,
Thanks for coming to the rescue again; I'll get cracking.
I am indeed not the only user of this PC, so I may not have all the answers right and ready.
So, I'll also have some educating to do. Thanks for providing the first tools for that, such as the link about Messenger!
Have a good rest.
Anne
 
You are sure welcome, I want to be positive, because you said Messenger. I am talking about ONLY MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlus.exe. This item has NOTHING to do with other programs like MSN Instant Messenger, etc. I have little doubt at this point that it was download without care taken to read the EULA agreement: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/E/EULA.html and I am fairly sure your computer is infected with LOP/C2Media as described in the CastleCops link. This is something that will have to be removed during the process. If you have questions as we proceed, please ask them.

Thanks
 
Next?

Hi Phil,

- I think got it right with the msg. I removed it with Add/Remove.
In order not to affront the person who installed it, I left user prefs but removed third party items?

- I could not find Spyware Assassin in the list or with a search. Where do I uninstall?

- Followed instr. about HJT.

- Had HJT fix lines about Mozilla which looked odd to me.

- Do not use Alexa

- Below's the log from SmitFraudFix.

Till next time, tnx,

Anne

Thanks for returning your information and the feedback. As you can see Smitfraudfix located the infection, screenshots and the instructions in Francais and Deutsch are both available at the top of the Download link if it helps. Let's get rid of it first, like this:

Clean:
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)
Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infect files.
You will be prompted: Do you want to clean the registry ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.
The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found): Replace infected file ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to restore a clean file.
A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Optional:
To restore Trusted and Restricted site zone, select 3 and hit Enter.
You will be prompted: Restore Trusted Zone ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to delete trusted zone.
Note, if you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install the protection both afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and re-protect all items. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.

Restart the computer and post the C:\rapport.txt and a new HJT log.
Please post any comments you think will help.

Thanks

Thanks for returning your information and the feedback. We have a little more cleaning to do.
SMF did not replace wininet.dll
Click to expand...
To my understanding of S!Ri's fix, that would only happen if the file was infected and most often it is not.
Pest Capture icon still on the desktop.
Click to expand...
Perhaps it will be gone with the next removal, if it is an icon on the Desktop (shortcut) try right clicking and delete it, that may be all that is left. To be sure nothing is in Add Remove programs, please post your uninstall list:
Open Hijackthis.
Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.
Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.
Click the "Save list..." Button.
Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.

For starters I need to call your attention to the fact that when you run MSConfig in Selective Startup mode, we can not be sure what malware may be hidden we can not see. I need to see the HJT log with everything enabled in MSConfig. You should be able to return to SS as soon as you capture the HJT log.

AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5: Deactivate the Resident Shield- Before proceeding, deactivate the "Resident Shield" as this may prevent changes to the registry.
- To do this, click "Change State" to the right of the Resident Shield option in the main window.
- You will clearly see the status change to Inactive if you have done this correctly.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

I would like to see the scan results from an up to date AVG Anti-Spyware scan. Please be sure to download the newest data bases, and delete or quarantine anything the program locates. Please use this tutorial and follow those instructions.

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Restart the computer and post the AVG Anti-Spyware scan results, the uninstall list and a new HJT log. Please include any comments you think will help.

Thanks...Phil
 
Curious

Hi Phil,

I never knew the startup was set to selective!
I unchecked that this time, so that should give more info.

Remarks:
During the AVG scan, Avira came up with 4 or 5 alerts that it had encountered different variants of Zlob. I deleted them. Plus a file called A0220703, that supposedly looked like a phishing tool, FraudTool SpySheriff?

Below, the AVG report.
In next posts, uninstall list (made that before I restarted in normal mode, is that a problem?) and HJT log.

Curious to hear what you find.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Phil,
Don't know if this is relevant.
There are two virtual CD players on this computer, with software (games) installed on them.
DAEMON, they're called.
Is that a safe thing to be doing?
Thanx again!
Anne
 
Hi Anne, this junk:
During the AVG scan, Avira came up with 4 or 5 alerts that it had encountered different variants of Zlob. I deleted them. Plus a file called A0220703, that supposedly looked like a phishing tool, FraudTool SpySheriff?
Click to expand...
is all part of the Smitfraud infection, trying to goad you into purchasing a wothless pice of junk is why they call it "fraud". Let me give you this information:

If you would like to let your thoughts be know about the lowlifes who put that junk on your computer, you can do that here:
If you have been infected by one of the SpyAxe family

AVG Anti-Spyware - Scan Report Created at: 17:17:07 18-1-2007That stuff , even though it says you took no action, is in System Restore and I believe it takes cleaning the SR files and we will do this before we finish.

Uninstall List:

Ad-aware 6 Personal
<<< uninstall
Click to expand...
Ad-Aware SE Personal <<< the newest version should be Build 1.06r1 and most recent data base is 1/17/07

Mozilla Firefox (1.0.7) <<< Version 2.0 has been released, if you are going to use Firefox, update it, even having out of date version can get you infected.

Viewpoint Media Player (Remove Only)
For your information, Viewpoint is installed by aol probably without your knowledge. I suggest you uninstall this resource waster in Add Remove programs.

http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/2005/nov4.php#viewpoint

I do not know all of your programs, I suggest you take this opportunity to take a hard look at what is there and get rid of anything no longer used or that you do not know what is. Be careful not to remove anything needed by Windows. Use Google if you are unsure.

Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 18:07:22, on 18-1-2007 This log is free of malware as far as I can see. You may return to selective startup in MSConfig to save your resources, here is information: http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/

I will add this information for your benefit at this point:
System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039?Open&src=sec_doc_nam

AVG Anti-Spyware is a good program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

There are two virtual CD players on this computer, with software (games) installed on them.
DAEMON, they're called.
Is that a safe thing to be doing?

Not going to much help in this area, DAEMON can be many things, see the Google:

From my limited knowledge, much more important are the files that are downloaded to use on virtual CD Players. Here is some information:

Spring cleaning

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the info.
I will do the spring cleaning, also using the tips you gave me for the first computer.
When I am as far as I can get with your pointers, I'll get back to you to finish up (I hope!).

With this computer, there is
- emailing (webbased)
- maintaining spaces
- chatting
- streaming
If you have any more pointers about doing these things safely, I'll readily educate myself.

Thanx so far,

Anne
 
Think that's it!

Hi Phil,

I think I did the spring cleaning.
Many a cobweb out the window, a fresh startup list and a clean HJT log: thanks a whole lot.
I read a post where someone said: very reassuring to know you all are out there: just my thoughts.
This one can close!

Anne
