tried to remove bunchof trojans, but there is malware left

T

the scorpion

New member
some days ago, i had a nasty invasion of trojans. Tried to fix them, but there are remains

i know i`m not supposed to post log files wihtout being asked to do so, but i just want to show the processes that i suspect being malware

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [cnftips] media64.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [driver32] startman.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dmkff.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmkff.exe

04 - HKCU\..\Run: [runload32] cmon14.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [CToolBar] EXE32EXE.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WhatsNewBot] InpriseMon.exe

not sure about the last one, but media64, startman and others are part of wareout

then there are these entries

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{63B824F1-14B2-4A7D-B785-3C4111EED085}: NameServer = 85.255.116.25 85.255.112.196
O18 - Protocol: msnim - {828030A1-22C1-4009-854F-8E305202313F} - "C:\PROGRA~1\MSNMES~1\msgrapp.dll" (file missing)

the second one is said to be from msn, but other sources think it is a trojan. o17 probably belongs to the above trojans as well

am i save to fix processes in o4 und o17? particuliarly the dmkff.exe is not explicitly listed as a trojan when i searched the web for it, but i can be a component of a trojan that changes names. (starting with dm****.exe)

i am very thankful for any advice that might help. Also, i have that stupid abcsearch browser highjacker/adware tool. It highjakcs my browser when i do google searches. Is it included in one of these proceses is posted above?

thx for your fast reply
 
You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.
Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/Fixwareout.exe
Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
When your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, HijackThis will launch. Please click Scan, and check the following items(if there):
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [cnftips] media64.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [driver32] startman.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dmkff.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmkff.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [runload32] cmon14.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [CToolBar] EXE32EXE.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WhatsNewBot] InpriseMon.exe
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{63B824F1-14B2-4A7D-B785-3C4111EED085}: NameServer = 85.255.116.25 85.255.112.196

If you see a new entry as well in your O4 lines in hijackthis, starting with dm... for example:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dm***.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dm***.exe (the *** stand for random letters)
or starting with hg... for example:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [hg***.exe] C:\Windows\System32\hg***.exe
Check it as well. If not sure, leave it and only check the ones I asked you to check
===========================================================
Click Fix Checked. Close HijackThis, and click OK to proceed.


Finally, please post the contents of report.txt (it should open), along with a new HijackThis log.

Note: If You have connection problems or that 017 return's >
Before doing this write down all the settings, Note that not all system/setups even have these settings, While some connection service's will require them.
(These instruction's are basicly for home users.)
In the windows control panel. If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and left click on properties. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically
Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.
That option might not be avaiable one some systems

here is the most recent (after fixing the entries in hjt) log
o17 has reappeared, the others not. Ì`ll check next time if i startup the computer if they`re there again

also, Spybot SD displays a popup that the system startup user entry runload32 cmon14 was deleted. You know one of these bugges pop-ups that won`t go away without shutting down Spybot resident.

what is your suggestion concerning this popup?

sorry seems i forgot to paste it in the above window. is there an edit function in for postings in this forum?
thx

(o17 reappeared)
 
while performing the recommended actions, this pop-up appears

now i am unsure if this is hjt deleting cmon14 exe (in which case it would be okay i guess)
or the trojan that is trying to re-install itself

also i did the changes to network conncetions mentioned above. However o17 keeps appearing

abc search doesn seem to have dissapeared though, google search links lead to the correct url`s now

thx a lot for the help

i attached the panda actvie scan log becasue it was too long for one posting. There were lots of spyware cookies, plus "processor" hack tool

i am a beginner, so what do i do to delete these cookies and keep them from re-infcting my machine?

thx for the advice
 
hi again

i`ve read a couple of infos over the found malware and it seems that "metafile" installed that spyware stuff on my computer. do the newest microsoft update files cover the security risk or do i have to look for another solution for this problem?

thx
 
Yes they released a patch that addresss the exploit

Start Hijackthis and place a check next to these items If there.
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [runload32] cmon14.exe
====================================
Hit fix checked and close Hijackthis.

Restart the pc for the changes to take effect.

Turn on SpyBots resident tea timer, if that cmon14.exe seams to come back you need to delete Tea timers remembered decision's

md usa spybot fan said:
For TeaTimer 1.4 Registry changes.

If you checked "Remember this decision" on a change the information concerning that change it is stored in a file. TeaTimer uses that information to automatically "Allow" or "Deny" changes. To edit this information:
  • Right click on the TeaTimer system tray icon and select Settings. This will bring up TeaTimer's "White & Black List". There are four (4) Buttons across the top of the "White & Black List":
    • Allowed processes
    • Blocked processes
    • Allowed registry changes
    • Blocked registry changes

      Note: If you don't see all four buttons, try expanding the window to the right.
  • You can review all the entries that you have stored by clicking on these buttons. The entries that you should review are in "Allowed registry changes" and "Denied registry changes". You can delete entries by clicking on the scripted black "X" to the right of the entry that you want to delete and then clicking the "OK" button when you're done. This will in effect make TeaTimer forget what you told it to remember so that during future changes to these items TeaTimer will issue a pop-up dialog rather then just a notification pop-up.
Click to expand...

Keep us informed
 
thank you

the cmon14 exe has not yet reappeared, just the notorious 017 seems to have buried itself in the system startup or registry, it keeps reappearing

so far i`m not noticing any signs of spyware anymore, browsing is back to normal and the number of "weird" processes running in the background reduced
 
okay, cool.

i got myself that hosts.file

is it normal that i don`t see an effect of running that mvps.bat except for the dos-window open?

what do you mean with "how did that go?" do you mean the infection? I suspect it was an incident some days ago when i hit a "bad" website. The site turned into a windows fax viewer kind of thing. I immediately closed that stuff because i thought of adds or a new way of pop-ups or some shit. Then i think IE had encountered a problem and needed to close. From then on i got the whole package of spyware on the machine

from what i read this was due to that wmv. vulnerability. Panda active scan found the metafile virus and disinfected it. I think it was metafile that installed all the other spy ware stuff, because i can`t think of a direct way to get that trojan

i applied the hotfix and now keep spybot SD and windows xp up to date, but what can i do against a windows vulnerability of that kind? i`m not the kind of person who reads microsoft security bulletin or stuff

anyway, thanks a lot for your help. if there will be future issues, i know where to get help :bigthumb:
 
Hi

Yes running the hosts bat appears to not do anything, all it does is replace the hosts file for you, remember to run it once or twice a month since he updates it frequently, I ask "how did that go" to find out if members actually
fallow the advice.

Your description of it sounds exactly like the wmf exploit, I'm glad to here you installed the windows update patch.

Happy safe surfing
 
As the problem appears to be resolved this topic will be archived.
