smitfraud.c and other delights

helpinafriend · Mar 26, 2008

I can't rid my friend's machine of the smitfraud.c menace (I suspect other malware is present, also). Here is the HJT log; I have been prevented form accessing the internet on this machine by an ezcoolpages hijack, so I don't have a Kaspersky scan.

Hi

1. Download combofix from any of these links and save it to Desktop:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you (C:\ComboFix.txt). Post that log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

If you have problems with Combofix usage, see here

combofix log

Hi Blade...

Combo fix ran without incident. Here is the log.

Fact is, the computer seems to be running better. Between my first post and your response, I ran Ad-aware (full scan). I noticed that the scan was very lengthy, due to a ton of temporary internet files on the computer. I deleted those files and then ran smitfraudfix and Spybot S&D, and things seem to have cleared up.

I don't trust that all the bad guys are gone, however, so I would appreciate it if you would stick with my project a bit longer just to make sure. Thanks.

Doug

Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

Kaspersky

Is the Kaspersky Anti-virus 7.0 available for download the same thing as the Kaspersky Online Scanner?

helpinafriend · Mar 29, 2008

ComboFix is hanging at the point where it shows that it will be deleting files. None of the four processes you list are running. I didn't run the other two scans.

Blade81 · Mar 29, 2008

Is the Kaspersky Anti-virus 7.0 available for download the same thing as the Kaspersky Online Scanner?

No, those are two totally different programs. Is the internet connection working now so that you can do the scan with online scanner?

ComboFix is hanging at the point where it shows that it will be deleting files. None of the four processes you list are running.

Please check if there's anyway ComboFix.txt created. If not, try doing ComboFix part in safe mode (press F8 before Windows' loading screen and select safe mode without networking option).

helpinafriend · Mar 29, 2008

Internet: I took my friend's computer home with me to work on, so I'm not connected for the time being. I'll be going over tomorrow and I expect to run the KOS then.

Combofix did not complete in Safe mode. Here is the log produced in Normal mode (before I ended the process):

Hi

Ok. Let's try a bit differently.

Save text below as fix.reg on Notepad (save it as all files (*.*)) on the Desktop.

Code:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\~\Browser Helper Objects\{5CE555C6-E2DC-49C3-A863-D3A88B1AB172}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\~\Browser Helper Objects\{63F7460B-C831-4142-A4AA-5EC303EC4343}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\~\Browser Helper Objects\{8041E642-8CFC-4720-BC9D-D2DB8904286F}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\~\Browser Helper Objects\{f9ce5ac2-1dd1-11b2-8c7a-8a5883bd5ab2}]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Bia"=-
"QdrPack14"=-

It should look like this ->

Doubleclick fix.reg, press Yes and ok.

(In case you are unsure how to create a reg file, take a look here with screenshots.)

Please download the OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer.

Save it to your desktop.
Please double-click OTMoveIt2.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).

Copy the lines in the codebox below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\h9r75yuQyP.exe.bak
C:\WINDOWS\hkpqjsrg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\mtylybqn.dll
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\furwpkxi.dll
C:\WINDOWS\MicroSoft.pif

C:\WINDOWS\cagihjnp
C:\Program Files\stc
C:\Program Files\Sysmnt
C:\Program Files\180search assistant
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Rabio
C:\Program Files\Bat

Return to OTMoveIt2, right click in the
Paste Standard List of Files/Folders to Move
window (under the light blue bar) and choose Paste.
Click the red Moveit! button.
Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply. Post also a fresh hjt log and Kaspersky online scanner report (when you have done the scanning).
Close OTMoveIt2

Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes. In this case, after the reboot, open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.

helpinafriend · Mar 30, 2008

Here's my homework, mostly

Hi Blade... do you ever quit working?

I'll have the Kaspersky log for you in the next 24 hours. In the meantime, I've completed the other three operations.

The following is the OTMoveIt2 log. Note that everything moved successfully except for the two *.dll items (I had to kill the op twice when those dlls gummed things up):

Below is the new HJT log. I have reconnected my friend's computer to her internet service and that service appears to be working adequately. I will get you a Kaspersky ASAP, if that is necessary.

Thanks for your continuing help and patience. (BTW - word has gotten out in my friend's social circle that I'm helping her with this, and now other unfortunate women want help. Where does it end?

The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

Comodo BOCLEAN <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
Download Adaware
Adaware is a free program. It scans for known spyware on your computer. These scans should be run at least once every two weeks. For more information, see this tutorial
The program is available for download here
Download SpywareBlaster
Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
kill bits
in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
If you don't know what activex controls are, see here
You can download SpywareBlaster here here
SpywareBlaster tutorial
Download iespyad
It puts many bad webpages on your restricted zones list. This means that you can still view the
bad
webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).
If you need help understanding how it works, there is a tutorial here
Download it here
hosts file:
- Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
- In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
- We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
- However, it can slow down certain computers.
- This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
1. [*]Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) [*]Click run [*]In the dialog box, type services.msc [*]hit enter, then locate dns client [*]Highlight it, then double-click it. [*]On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. [*]Click ok

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade

Thank you, friend.

The computer seems to run fairly well - there's always room for improvement, but all of the prior difficulties seem to have disappeared.

You have suggested a number of measures, particularly Java and Windows updates - those will be taken care of right off. (My amateur eye detects that not one of the Microsoft security packs has been installed).

As for the security measures: I read Tony Klein's sticky "So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place" and planned to install SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, keep SpyBot S&D running with Immunization and Tea Timer, install a Firewall (Zone Alarm or Comodo), and disable Mcafee anti-virus in favor of the Avast! anti-virus program.

Is all of this compatible with your suggestions? (I really like the iespyad and hosts file ideas, if they disable P2P sites and similar. My friend has a teenager who doesn't think twice about what websites she visits and what she downloads). Can the hosts file be used to keep her from downloading AOL IM? That would make me an even bigger hero than I am already...

BTW - I appreciate that you offer links to tutorials, such as the one explaining what Active X controls are. Nice to know what's going on when I accept one of these things onto my machine.

Yes, those should be compatible. I advise though to uninstall McAfee completely to free some space at least if you are not going to use it. I'm not familiar with AOL IM but hosts file is meant mainly for making surfing experience safer.

hi...

the computer seems to be doing quite well.

I wasn't able to remove the otmoveit2 program by the method you outline. when i hit the cleanup button, a dialog box pops up indicating an I/O issue. (1794 or something; I gave the computer back without noting).

Blade81 · Apr 4, 2008

Hi

You can clean items manually by deleting C:\_OTMoveIt & c:\combofix folders (if exist) and D:\Files for Robin's Computer\ComboFix.exe file.

Blade81 · Apr 10, 2008
