VCODEC - How do I remove this?

:scratch: I downloaded what i thought was a viewing codec and it was a trojan. Avast picked it up and aborted it and I thought that would be the end of it. I ran spybot and it picked up a few things and vcodec. the other things have removed successfully but the vcodec keeps coming back. in the corner of my screen a yellow box appears and says "Your Computer is Infected! Possible harmful infection was detected on your computer etc etc" When you click to close it or on it it opens up spyfalcon website and automaticlly downloads their program. How can I remove this? Below is my HijackThis List I hope you can help thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum. The instructions in this link:
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=1958 will guide you through removal of the trojan. Follow the instructions and post the requested logs in this same thread. Let me know how the computer is running at that point.

Thanks...pskelley

I have performed all the steps as "spyaxe, spysheriff and other desktop hijacks" forum suggested. I still have the windows yellow bar saying "Your computer is infected" etc etc. All steps went to plan except the full system scan on the panda active scan site. Avast my anti-virus detects a virus/worm during the scan in the win32:ctx file. Do I continue the scan and ignore my anti-virus or close the scan to abort the virus? Here are my Logs

Thanks for providing that information. Please be patient, this junk rarely comes off as easy as it went on. Looking at this: win32:ctx file I believe it is a case of one product seeing something in another product it thinks is a virus. This is not unusual and I am sure Panda Active scan does not have a virus, but I get so many mixed results when I search it and that coupled with the fact that Active Scan no longer removes anything free and only locates the stuff, I am going to ask that you not run that scan and we will use another. Here is what Google has to say:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-26,GGLD:en&q=win32:ctx

I am also going to ask that you hold the Spybot report, please do not delete it until you are clean, we may need it later.

Somehow the instructions:
At the download prompt, choose "Save". After the download is complete, navigate to the C:\Program Files\HijackThis folder and double-click it to complete the installation.
Click to expand...
were not followed and HJT is running from the Desktop. While we may not use HJT, this is not the safest place to run it from. Either review the instructions again or move HJT to C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe.

ewido appears to have done it's job and removed everything it located and the HJT log appears to be clean of malware. Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

I still have the windows yellow bar saying "Your computer is infected" etc etc
Click to expand...
Can you tell me if you are seeing any other symptoms of the infection beside this? All parts of the fix seem to have worked perfectly, would you just look over the instructions for returning the Desktop to normalcy to make sure it was completed.

Let's run another scan to see if something was left that is causing that message.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner: http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be promted 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:

Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:

Extended (If available otherwise Standard)

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. Include any information I asked for and any comment you think will help us.

Thanks...Phil

I hope this can help you further I use spybot search and destroy but they keep coming back. I have moved HJT to a new location. The yellow box is coming from the icon "automatic updates" with a red circle with a white cross that keeps flashing over the top.
Many thanks

Let's do this, first the C:\System Volume Information is your System Restore files and we will clean them before we finish, just do not use System Restore for any reason until them. Now make sure all hidden files and folders are enabled: http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html so you can see the bad files.
Now view this information: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/blog/grinler/index.php?cat=

Now review this new information then run the FixSF.reg
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html

Now restart the computer in safe mode: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial61.html

Once in safe mode navigate to these files and delete them:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dfrgsrv.exe >>> file

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ginuerep.dll >>> file

If you look over all of the information you will see what happened. These low lifes are changing the way their junk infects you almost faster than we can keep up . Thanks to Grinler at BleepingComputer for this updated information.

Once you have deleted those then do this,
System Restore does not know good from bad, it backs up everything. In case some of the infection got into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, restart your computer and turn it back on.
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...2001111912274039?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam

Then run a new Kaspersky scan and post what should be clean results.

Here is where you can let your feeling about this junk be known:

I hope I have made this clear, post any questions you have.

Thanks...Phil
 
Thankyou

Thankyou for your help phil! you have been very helpful and understanding. The spyfalcon things have now gone and there are no more yellow boxes. Edwido and spy bot say my system is clean. Only kaspersky detects something but at least its not 3 virus's and six infected files it is now one and one. Im sure that this one should be easier than the last. Thanks to BleepingComputer who have updated their databases and kept ahead of these scummers who infect our machines.

You are very welcome and I am so glad your computer is working now as it should, those links I provided and the information in them will help you keep it that way.

This: C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-2025429265-854245398-1343024091-500\Dc1.exe Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Zlob.ii skipped <<< is the Recycle bin and that item can't get on the computer unless you personally restore it. I suggest you navigate to the C:\RECYCLER\ and delete it. You may have to enable hidden files and folders.

ewido is a great program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
