Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888

[JeremyO]

Hi,

In need of assistance please.

Got a virus from MSN. AVG removed it but left now with Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888. Spybot does not remove it successfully. Neither does Spyware Doctor from Google Pack or PrevX2. Removed both of them then ran spybot in safe mode, removed smitfraud, ran HJT. Here is the HJT log.

Thanks:

Next Steps

Hi.

I followed the instructions above but there were a few hicups.

The file C:\WINDOWS\retadpu1000904.exe was not there, (I had seen this one earlier and was trying to find out what it was!)

AVGAS would only let me quarantine one item, Downloader Rameh.c. The others it found, (Tracking Cookies Aavalue, Yeildmanager, Realcastmedia, Burstnet, Connextra, Starware, Web-stat), it would only delete. I applied all actions and the "Save Report" button remained greyed out so I have no log from AVG.

However, here is the HJT log:

Looks good

Hi

The file C:\WINDOWS\retadpu1000904.exe was not there, (I had seen this one earlier and was trying to find out what it was!)

Ok. That's why I asked to delete if found.

AVGAS would only let me quarantine one item, Downloader Rameh.c. The others it found, (Tracking Cookies Aavalue, Yeildmanager, Realcastmedia, Burstnet, Connextra, Starware, Web-stat), it would only delete. I applied all actions and the "Save Report" button remained greyed out so I have no log from AVG.

Yes, AVG doesn't quarantine tracking cookies. It will delete them.


Delete c:\Vundofix Backups folder.

Well congrats, it appears your system is all clean Are you still noticing any problems? If not, it's time to secure your system to prevent against further intrusions.


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis



We need to re hide system files. To do so, please follow the steps below:

1. Double-click My Computer.
2. Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. Put a check by
   Hide file extensions for known file types.
5. Under the
   Hidden files
   folder, select
   Show hidden files and folders.
   
6. Check
   Hide protected operating system files.
7. Click Apply, and then click OK.

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
Change the allow paste operations via script to Disable
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



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.

• 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.
  The program is available for download here
• Download Spybot
  Spybot is a scanner like adaware. It scans for spyware and other malicious programs. It is important to have both Adaware and Spybot on your computer because each program provides unique detection and pretection measures. Spybot has preventitive tools that stop programs from even installing on your computer.
  To see how to set this up as well as more spybot features, see here
  Spybot can be downloaded at this location
• 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
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this webpage out.
  See here to choose one

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.


Stand up and be Counted.

NOW is the time you can start to hit back at the people who infected you.

Please take the time to go and complain - that forum has a topic for your infection which is Vundo please post as a reply, you do not need to register to do so (but you can if you wish). It will also have a list of other places you can go to to register your complaint, depending on the country you are resident in. Please read the topics and complain, it is only with such complaints to goverment or government agances that something will get done.

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

Have a great day,
Blade

Thanks and a couple of questions.

Hi, sorry for the delay. All seems okay so far. My partners boys, are back thrashing the system and the usual arguments are there again, (almost good to have the machine not available!).

I have a couple of questions at the end of this posting.

System restore and automatic updates are re-enabled, I disabled them both when the problems started.

Thanks for the tips on Securing IE although some of the options did not appear, "paste operations via script" for example, I am on IE7. Were these options for IE6 perhaps?

I use Adaware and spybot regularly and have downloaded and installed spyware blaster and iespyad.

I like the hosts file, I had not thought of that, so thanks although I hope some enterprising, hormonal teenager does not look at the list of sites in there!

I use Windows firewall and my Linksys router also has a firewall on it but I should check the settings.

A couple of things that raised questions in my mind:

After doing all the downloading and updating after the all clear I ran Spybot again and it found "Virtumonde". It seems to have gone now. Is it something I should be worried about?

Also AVG is reporting Kernel32.dll, user32.dll, shell32.dll and ntoskrnl.exe as changed. Should I be worried by this and if yes what is a good way to revert them?

Thanks again I will make sure I donate when I get the chance.

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy

Disabling system restore when infection occurs isn't recommended. Infected restore point is better than nothing if something goes wrong.

Thanks for the tips on Securing IE although some of the options did not appear, "paste operations via script" for example, I am on IE7. Were these options for IE6 perhaps?

Yes, they were. Other options are available also in IE7.

After doing all the downloading and updating after the all clear I ran Spybot again and it found "Virtumonde". It seems to have gone now. Is it something I should be worried about?

I wouldn't be worried if it didn't appear again. If it appears after reboot again then it might be worth checking the log again.

Also AVG is reporting Kernel32.dll, user32.dll, shell32.dll and ntoskrnl.exe as changed. Should I be worried by this and if yes what is a good way to revert them?

If these changes are made by malware then there's reason to be worried. What were you doing when AVG reported of these? I think it would be wise to see your hjt log again. Better safe than sorry.
