Hi

Try to fix these in safe mode:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_] c:\windows\system32\_zskwrkni05xr[wskh]codqvaze.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_] c:\windows\system32\_zskwrkni05xr[wskh]codqvaze.exe

And tell if it was successfull

 

[backusbrown]

It was unsuccessful and those still show up in the hjt log. This is a tough one, huh?

 

[Shaba]

Hi

Yes, it is.

You already have Avenger, so let's try it.

First we'll need to backup registry:

Start -> Run -> regedit -> ok. Then File -> Export. Give it a name and press Save.

1. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):

Registry keys to delete:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

2. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

• Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
• Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
• Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing (Ctrl+V).
• Click Done
• Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
• Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

3. The Avenger will automatically do the following:

• It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
• On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
• After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
• The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

4. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply

i think that may have worked.

Hi

Go to start -> run -> regedit -> ok

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Do you see key like ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_ there?

Repeat for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

 

[backusbrown]

no, this key: ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_ is in folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-

That is, Run with a dash after it. Should I delete it?

Also, there is no "RunServices" folder.

 

[Shaba]

Hi

Yes, delete it and post a fresh HijackThis log after that

 

[backusbrown]

Hmm, that didn't work either:

Hi

First we'll need to backup registry:

Start -> Run -> regedit -> ok. Then File -> Export. Give it a name and press Save.

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

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices]
"ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"ÿ_zskezavqdoc]hksw[rx50inkrwksz_"=-


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.)

Reboot and tell if they're gone now

 

[backusbrown]

wait, I looked in the wrong place before, sorry. I went to h_key current user instead of h_key local machine. I found the files in the right place and deleted them. Here's my new hjt log. I think this fixed it so I don't know if I should undertake your last suggestion. I think you may have done it Shabba, good job.

Hi

Yes, it looks so

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner. You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

• The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
• Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
  
  o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  
  + Extended (If available otherwise Standard)
  
  o Scan Options:
  
  + Scan Archives
  + Scan Mail Bases
  
• Click OK
• Now under select a target to scan select My Computer
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
• Now click on the Save as Text button
• Save the file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Post:

- a fresh HijackThis log
- kaspersky report
