Spyware? Malware? Virus?

Hi Guys...

Got another "bug".....who writes this garbage? Can we shoot'em? LOL....

I know the drill.......here goes......

Started getting odd behavior yesterday morning. It has not escallated (yet).

Symptoms
**Hard Drive Activity: Odd and unusual activity a few times, nothing huge.
**Browser Speed: Slow at times, normal most of the time.
**Home Page Hijacking: No
**IE Launch Activity: Yes, three files are place on my desktop each time IE is launched. They are: ~jpcfg636, ~start636 and ~view636. When deleted, they return each time IE is launched....exact same files.
**Other Odd Activity: About once per hour, I get a pop-up on my desktop saying something about a "program weird name" has a problem and will be shut down. I'm asked to send to MS or not. I always send it to them since they are the root cause of all of this garbage! LOL.....just kidding. I say "no" and close.

Action Taken So Far
(1) Ran eTrust Antivirus (latest sig file update: 4/7/06): Results: 3 virus found which were, (1) Win32/Beovens!generic; (2) HTML/HelpControl!Exploit, and (3) Same as #2. Action Taken by eTrust: Deleted files. I then rebooted my computer, ran eTrust antivirus again = no virus files found.

(2) Ran Spybot, checked for latest detection rules, downloaded & installed (4/7/06): Reboot and run Spybot. Results: Nothing found.

(3) Checked for latest version of HJT (1.99.1), ran scan, copied log (post below).

(4) Nosing around my c:\windows folders I find an odd folder I don't recall with the name "ld" (in small letters). It contains a ton of entries that match those listed in the HJT log under "Running Processes" (which is how I found the "ld" folder in c:\windows). I tried renaming the folder (to: xld), reboot system, then launch IE and sure enough, the folder is replaced with one entry at the same time the "desktop" files are popping up on my desktop. I repeated that process three times, and three times there's an entry made in c:\windows\ld.

Before running HJT, I copied all those "ld" entries from my renamed folders back into the "ld" folder so they would all show up on the HJT log. But they don't, only one does (the last one).

Thank you in advance for your expert help.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Lonny,

Followed above directions......done.

Two files in "delete these" instructs not found:

(1) "update.exe"
(2) "winbrume.dll"

Just for the heck of it I did a c:\driver search for both. No "windbrume.dll" found anywhere, but two "update.exe" files were found in other folders, none dated any time recently.

Ran HJT again:

Lonny.....are these instructs meant for me?

Hard to tell since you make no reference to me or anything we've done, nor do you ask for another HJT log......or say anything about "what's next?" The fact that another person is posting in this thread gives me reason to question this post from you, as well. Just thought I should check to make sure your post is meant for me.

Tom
 
Oh man, Lonny.......sorry but I had to take off for two days on an emergency (one of my friends got hurt pretty bad in the Long Beach Grand Prix this last weekend). I've just gotten back late last night.

Booting my computer this morning has eTrust detecting two viruses/trojans (deleted them).....but these are the same ones that it detected on primary scan the first time all of this started.

Just for grins......they are:

Win32/Alureon!generic
Win32/SecBlock!generic

Checked the CA Virus Encyclopedia just before coming here.......the first one is listed and has a big page of information.....but nothing about "how to cleans system" of it. The second one is not listed.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be wise for me to start over from the top (above) with your instructions.....getting back to the point where I questioned you about the instructions "being for me." And then report here and take it from there. I guess that's what I will do as most likely you are off and busy with others. I'm amazed how many posts were written in just the two days I've been gone.....geeez! Somebody needs to pay you guys! Where's your "PayPal Donate" button? -:)

I have a couple hours of things to do before I can get to this. I'll check back here first, before getting started......just in case you have logged in and don't want me to start from the top again.

Sorry again, about having to jet out.....last minute.

Regards,

Tom
 
Hey Lonny....

Here is a completely "virgin" HJT log. Have not done anything yet.....computer is as we left it plus booting up today and using it for email (no Internet except to this site).

*************end HJT Log*************

Lonny, I think it would be wise for me not to do anything until I hear from you this HJT log. So, I'll just sit tight....

Regards,

Tom
 
Did you see the question in my last post ?

Have hijackthis fix >
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [vthi] C:\WINDOWS\system32\z935z.exe dummy
==========
Restart your PC for the change to take effect.
 
Lonny,

Decided I'd better not wait too much longer as I was getting a lot of unusual hard drive activity.

Here's what I did:

(1) Shut system down and rebooted into safe mode.
(2) Used "sys restore" to return the day before you and I started on this thread.
(3) Ran HJT.....confirmed that it looked exactly like the first one in this thread.
(4) Re-performed each "instruction" from you.....including the one I did not first understand.
(5) Ran another HJT.......posted below.

I hope I didn't screw you up? But heck, the hd was going pretty crazy!

What next?

Regards,

Tom

It looks fine, write down locations and file names if your av alerts again, then let it attempt to take care of it.

Click to expand...

Lonny,

Got the first one of these an hour ago. It was for: win32/alureon!generic
The Location: was windows restore cab files. Of course, the EzTrust AV program can't access those files.

Action I took:
I figured there was a ton of stuff in those "restore file" cabs I didn't want to mistakenly put back on my computer. So, I decided to turn off "system restore" - reboot and then put it back on (that is supposed to clear all the previous restore points).

I'll continue to monitor/log anything odd that happens and report back here instantly that it does. Otherwise, I'll report back in max five days and we can clear this problem string. For some reason, I'm just not totally comfortable with the idea that we got rid of these trojans/viruses. Can't explain why....just a gut feeling, though.

Thanks for all your help......past, present and future. You guys do a great service for the Internet and you don't get recognized for it. Not like you should at least!

Sincere regards,

Tom Pabst
 
Hi Lonny,

Well, it's been about a week and -all is well- with my computer (at least for the problems from this key-logger)........

I did get another "Win32/Aleuron!generic" AV alert this morning. But, I think this was a "new acquire" as it was only the "hhm.exe" (actual file, not a "shortcut") dummy-click-it file. I deleted it (from Win Explorer), rebooted and ran HJT and it looks fine to me.

But just for fun, here's a copy of this HJT log in case I missed something:

My guess is that by now maybe you guys have seen this a lot? Anyway, I did a bunch of net-search surfing yesterday looking for pictures (google/image search) of the LeMans-2005 race and probably clicked on a few too many "alternative interests photos" (usually blonde or brunette...LOL....) than I should have. I think I should go to "IE Safe Test" site and again and run a check on my IE browser settings and see why I'm getting these auto-downloads (I thought I had IE set to ask me if I really want to download something).

I'll report back here in two days or so if nothing happens, and we can close this thread?

Looks like you guys had a busy weekend......

Regards,

Tom
 
Looks fine

Im Afraid no matter how updated and secure the PC is you will keep getting infected from those "alternative interests photos".
 
As the problem appears to be resolved this topic will be archived.

If you need it re-opened please send me a pm and provide a link to the thread.

Cheers.
