Virtumonde Infection Help Please

[zu921]

I have the nasty trojan and unsuccessfully removed it. I used Malwarebyte's Anti-malware and of course, Spybot. I thought they've removed them but my research shows that there's a lot of cleaning up to do.

A help on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Here's my HJT log:

Hello and Welcome to the forums!

My name is peku006 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:

• If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
• Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
• Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"

If you follow these instructions, everything should go smoothly.

We will begin with ComboFix. Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix, link
   Remember to re-enable them afterwards.
   
2. Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt
New HijackThis log.

A word of warning: Please do not run ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.

 

[zu921]

Thank you so much for your prompt help. I will surely keep you posted.

And again, THANK YOU!

 

[zu921]

Unfortunately, the Windows XP CD needed is not with me nor there is a chance for me to get it from the friend from whom we bought this laptop. Just FYI. Can still we still find a solution to this?

Thanks, peku006.

 

[peku006]

Hi zu921

the Windows XP CD is not needed..........

If you have ComboFix present, please delete it from your computer

Please do the following...

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

• Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
• As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  
• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

===========================================================
And as for how the computer is running now, there are no more alerts from the AVG, compared to last night which showed two trojans while I was online. I left it running a scan with auto-off once done (and I went to sleep) so I never found out how many it discovered during the thorough scan.

Aside from that, my Auto-Update of Windows Update is not modified now, compared to previous days when it was modified twice, even if I did not change it.

Again, thank you so much for your help.

Hi Sam

1 - teatimer

Please disable Teatimer as it may interfere with the fix.

First:

• Right click Spybot in the System Tray (looks like a calendar with a padlock symbol)
• Choose Exit Spybot S&D Resident

Second:

• Open Spybot S&D
• Click Mode, check Advanced Mode
• Go To Left Panel, Click Tools, then also in left panel, click Resident
• If your firewall raises a question, say OK
• Uncheck the box labeled Resident Tea-Timer and OK any prompts.
• Use File, Exit to terminate Spybot
• Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.

Don't forget to re-enable it, when your computer is clean.

2 - Remove bad HijackThis entries

• Run HijackThis
• Click on the Scan button
• Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):
  
  • 
    
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [RegCom32] E:\DOCUME~1\User\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP004.TMP\svchost.exe
    
    
• Close all open windows and browsers/email, etc...
• Click on the "Fix Checked" button
• When completed, close the application.

After that, Reboot.

3 - Run Hijackthis
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad

Please reply with

a fresh HijackThis log

Thanks peku006

Thanks peku006!

Hi zu921

Congratulations, your log looks clean!

Time for some housekeeping

• Double click OTMoveIt3.exe to launch the programme.
• Click on the CleanUp! button.
• OTMoveIt will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programmes alerts you, allow it access.
• Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
• When finished exit out of OTMoveIt
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.

Clear system restore points

• 
  This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
  • Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
  • Select the More options tab
  • Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
  This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6
Download it from here. Just choose a mirror and off you go.
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spybot properly here


Install SpyWare Blaster 4.1
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

Install WinPatrol
Download it from here
Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here

Install FireTrust SiteHound
You can find information and download it from here

Install MVPS Hosts File from here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
Find Tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
Note:"Be sure to disable the service "DNS Client" FIRST to allow the use of large HOSTS files without slowdowns.
If this isn't done first, the next reboot may take a VERY LONG TIME.
This is how to do it. First be sure you are signed in as a user with administrative privileges:

Stop and Disable the DNS Client Service
Go to Start, Run and type Services.msc and click OK.
Under the Extended Tab, Scroll down and find this service.
DNS Client
Right-Click on the DNS Client Service. Choose Properties
Select the General tab. Click on the Stop button.
Click the Arrow-down tab on the right-hand side at the Start-up Type box.
From the drop-down menu, click on Manual
Click the Apply tab, then click OK

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Visit Microsoft often to get the latest updates for your computer.
http://www.update.microsoft.com
Note: If you are running Windows XP SP2, you should upgrade to SP3.

Please check out Tony Klein's article "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Read some information here how to prevent Malware.

Happy safe surfing! :bigthumb:

 

[zu921]

Hello peku006! I did as instructed, however, this is what I got as I was trying to work on the System Restore thing:

I am clueless on what to type in that box. Help, please.

 

[peku006]

Hi

You can write : clean 10-22

:bigthumb:

 

[zu921]

Problem solved re System Restore. HOWEVER...

This is what I got as I run cleanmgr:

Help again, please. Thanks!
