Virtumonde or other nasty virus

Hi,

I've used Dr. Web Cure It and Vundo Fix, but have not achieved the desired result of ridding my computer of the virus. I am using the beta version of Hijack This.

I keep getting unwanted messenger service pop ups, and it seems that IEXPLORE.EXE keeps opening IE web pages without my consent.

Is there any way possible to identify who created this virus? They should go to jail.

I appreciate your help and look forward to your instructions! Thanks!
 
Hello Motoman,

Welcome to Safer Networking.

Please read Before You Post

Really can't offer you any help until I see a Hijackthis log


  • Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
  • Go to Format and make sure Wordwrap is Unchecked
  • Go to Edit> Select All.....Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread by using the Post Reply and not start a New Thread.
DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
 
Here you go:

You have a pretty lean log :bigthumb:

Combofix will take care of an infection you have.

Download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.
  • Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post the Combofix log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall


I can't see where you have HJT installed.

We need it to have HJT in its own folder for backup purposes. I would prefer that you delete HJT from where you have it installed and re install it like this

Download and install Trendmicros Hijackthis

Download the Trendmicro Hijackthis Installer, follow defauts and it will install in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis and this is exactly where we want it to be.



This is important
C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe<-- Right click on Hijackthis.exe ( looks like a man with a spyglass )and rename it to Scanner.exe

Thanks for your help!!!
 
Thanks for your help!!!
No problem

Combo removed DOMAINSERVICE Which was a virus.

Svchost.exe resides in the system32 folder, any other place and its a virus. This is what we need to do.

  • Go to Start> Run and type in services.msc then press Enter
  • Scroll down to .NET Framework Service
  • Double Click that service to open it.
  • Click on Stop Service.
  • Then change the Startup Type to Disabled.
  • OK your way out of the program.


  • Open HJT > Misc Tools > Delete an NT Service
  • Type in .NET Connection Service
  • Then click on OK, it will ask you to reboot, do so.



1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.
  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

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

Code:
Files to Delete:
C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe 

Folders to delete:
C:\Program Files\WinPop

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.


3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply


There is still a few things we need to remove, one step at a time, I don't want to overwhelm you

Let me see the Avenger log and a new HJT log please

After I clicked the green light icon in Avenger, I hit yes once, and when I tried to hit yes a second time, I got this error message:

Error code: 0
Error logged to errorlog.txt. Aborting now!
 
Thats a new one on me, try this program instead.

Do this after you disable the service

Please download OTMoveIt by OldTimer.

  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please double-click OTMoveIt.exe to run it.
  • Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

    C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe
    C:\Program Files\WinPop
  • Return to OTMoveIt, right click on the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be moved" window and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Copy everything on the Results window to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it on your next reply.
  • Close OTMoveIt

If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.
 
Hi,

I had a problem with OT Moveit, so I tried Avenger again, and it seemed to work! Below are the text files you requested:

My computer seems to be running better now!

I have one concern though about this part that you asked me to perform:


Quote:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\lsa]
"Authentication Packages"= msv1_0 C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\mljjj

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\WinPop]
C:\Program Files\WinPop\winpop.exe

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run-]
"Dumb Roam"=C:\PROGRA~1\SETTIN~1\Copy Seek Bows.exe
Copy the entire contents inside the Quote box and Paste it into Notepad ( this will only work with Notepad ) name the file Regfix.reg and in the drop down box, save it as All Files. Save it to your desktop. Then Rightclick on the Regfix.reg file and click on Merge, when it asks you to merge with the Registry, say yes.

We got rid of the WinPop file and the mljjj file, but now according to your instructions, it appears that we are adding them back into my registry? Could you please explain this? Thanks so much for all of your help!!!
 
How to delete keys and values from the registry:
Create a reg file like this, notice the hyphen inside the first bracket

REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SomeKey]
Notice the - sign inside the bracket. This will remove them, But if you feel uncomfortable with this you can bypass it.

How is everything running now??
 
My computer seems to be running a lot better, thanks!!! Internet Explorer is no longer starting automatically like before, and I am no longer receiving the annoying 'messenger service message pop ups'.

I still have a text file named "check_LSA7", and I noticed in the regfix file we have Quote:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\lsa]
"Authentication Packages"= msv1_0 C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\mljjj

I suspected that this text file is associated with the virus. Should I also delete this text file? Also, is this text file responsible for the production of the mljjj file?

Thanks!!!
 
mljjj This was part of the infection you had, yes delete them both.

Glad things are better :bigthumb:
 
Red Alert! Code Blue! Emergency! I performed the regedit fix (where I copied and pasted the text you had indicated to a notepad file and named it regfix), and now after I rebooted my computer, I get a stopping error (the red button with the white X) that says, “lsass.exe-system error object not found”. Windows won’t even start now! I tried re-installing windows (which is a valid legal version), and I keep getting this same error message! I am in panic mode right now, and would greatly appreciate any help to resolve this. :oops: Thanks.
 
Restart your computer and immediately tap the F8 key, it will bring up a menu, use your up and down arrow keys to scroll to LAST KNOWN GOOD and hit enter on your keyboard.
 
I don't know what the configuation is on your computer but try starting it and look for the set up key, may be F1 or F2 and try getting into the Recovery Mode and do a Repair.

It looks like you did the regfix and all was well, did this happen after you deleted check_LSA7?
 
Using the F8 key, are you able to get into safemode. Normally if you can get into safemode you can restart your computer and it will boot normally. Once in windows try doing a system restore.

Go to Start> Control Panel> ( you need to be in Catagory View) Performance and Maintenance> System Restore> Restore My Computer to an Earlier Time




If not the best way to go is to do a repair of windows, this is not a full reinstall, it just repairs your current copy of windows.
