Tanggo · Oct 19, 2009

Spybot has often detected Virtumonde on my home computer. Assistance from Spybot Team will be appreciated to remove Virtumonde.

I have read the forum procedures and will try to adhere as closely as possible. My hijackthis.log is as follows -

Hello and welcome to Safer Networking.

My name is km2357 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

I will be giving you a series of instructions that need to be followed in the order in which I give them to you.

If for any reason you do not understand an instruction or are just unsure then please do not guess, simply post back with your questions/concerns and we will go through it again.

Please do not start another thread or topic, I will assist you at this thread until we solve your problems.

Lastly the fix may take several attempts and my replies may take some time but I will stick with it if you do the same.

I will be back as soon as possible with your first instructions!

km2357 · Oct 20, 2009

Step # 1: Remove Hijackthis Entries

Run HijackThis
Click on the Scan button
Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0BF43445-2F28-4351-9252-17FE6E806AA0} - (no file)
Close all open windows and browsers/email, etc...
Click on the "Fix Checked" button
When completed, close the application.

Step # 2 Download and run DDS

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.

When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
1. DDS.txt
2. Attach.txt
Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.

Step # 3: Download and Run Gmer

Please download gmer.zip from Gmer and save it to your desktop.

***Please close any open programs ***

Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries unless advised by a trained Security Analyst

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.

Click No.
Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
Click OK.
GMER will produce a log. Click on the Save button, and save the log as gmer.txt somewhere you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

If you do not receive notice about possible rootkit activity remain on the Rootkit/Malware tab & make sure the 'Show All' button is unticked.

Click the Scan button and let the program do its work. GMER will produce a log.
Click on the Save button, and save the log as gmer.txt somewhere you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

DO NOT touch the PC at ALL for Whatever reason/s until it has 100% completed its scan, or attempted scan in case of some error etc !

Please post the results from the GMER scan in your reply.

In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:

1. The two DDS Logs (DDS and Attach.txt)
2. The GMER Log

Use multiple posts if you can't fit everything into one post.

Virtumonde Removal - Assistance Request - DDS and Gmer

@ km2357,

Hi and my appreciation for giving your valuable time towards my request for assistance.

1. Have read your instructions carefully and tried to follow them to the letter except ( surprises sometimes happens ) two minor ( hopefully ) deviations.

(a) I disabled Avast on-access protection, Spybot tea-timer and windows firewall while running dds and gmer.

(b) I have copy-pasted attach.txt as per forum rules instead of sending an attachment. I also have saved a copy of attach.zip on my desktop. Should you require the attach.zip, I will attach the zip file.

2. Below are the dds.txt, attach.txt and gmer.txt. I will eagerly await further instructions from my mentor.

Virtumonde Removal - A Few Questions

@km2357,

I have a few questions and hope you can provide some enlightenment.

1. As regards to "disable script blocker" I did not do anything specific other than disabling Avast on-access protection and Spybot tea-timer. Additionally, dds.scr ran successfully. Is there any potential problem here? Does Windows xp have a script blocker that I should also disable?

2. What is the difference between copy-pasting attach.txt and attaching attach.zip in a post?

Thnx and best regards.

1. As regards to "disable script blocker" I did not do anything specific other than disabling Avast on-access protection and Spybot tea-timer. Additionally, dds.scr ran successfully. Is there any potential problem here? Does Windows xp have a script blocker that I should also disable?

You disabled exactly what you needed to disable before you ran DDS. So, no potential problems.

And as far as I'm aware XP does not have a built in script blocker.

2. What is the difference between copy-pasting attach.txt and attaching attach.zip in a post?

With copy-pasting attach.txt you put the contents of it right on the screen for me to read through. If you had attached the attach.zip file to the post, then I would have to download the attach.zip file, unzip it and then open it in Notepad. Posting the attach.txt log instead of attaching the zip file makes it easier (and quicker) for me to read and look through.

Step # 1: Download and Run ComboFix

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

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

*Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

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

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

Virtumonde Removal - ComboFix Log

Thanks for the above explanation. I am surprised that my computer does not already has the Recovery Console installed. I have set more than a few Retore points in the past and even restored the computer to an earlier date. Does this mean that Restore and Recovery are 2 different applications?

I am sorry to digress, but I am also taking this opportunity to learn first hand from a professional.

Below is the intimidating comboFix.txt log as per your instruction.

Virtumonde Removal - Windows Recovery Console

@km2357,

FYI the Windows Recovery Console is still not installed yet. This probably happened because I disabled the Local Area Connection, AV, firewall and Spybot before starting comboFix. First me, and then comboFix, could not connect to the internet. So the Recovery Console installation did not happen but the scan proceeded nonetheless.

As I only have the Windows xp Recovery Disc but not the xp disc, I might have to find some way to install the Recovery Console. I hope my floppy disk drive still works ( Microsoft says I need six of these ). Rightfully it should work because it has not done any work since it was new. By the same reasoning, it may now refuse to work.

Just for your information, in case its important.

Is it possible to keep the internet connection alive and rerun comboFix and let it try to install the Recovery Console and of course do a cursory scan again? :sad:

Virtumonde Removal - Windows Recovery Console

@km2357,

After going over the comboFix tutorial at the link you provided me, I have noted how to install the Windows Recovery Console by downloading and then dragging the Windows...BootDisk-Enu.exe file onto the ComboFix.exe file. Please excuse my previous post about the absent Recovery Console.

However, I will just pause everything at this point and not install the Recovery console yet until you say so. Sorry for the unnecessary delay.

km2357 · Oct 21, 2009

I am sorry to digress, but I am also taking this opportunity to learn first hand from a professional.

It's no problem.

I am surprised that my computer does not already has the Recovery Console installed. I have set more than a few Retore points in the past and even restored the computer to an earlier date. Does this mean that Restore and Recovery are 2 different applications?

Yes, System Restore and Recovery Console are two different applications. System Restore comes preinstalled on Windows and Recovery Console you have to install yourself.

Is it possible to keep the internet connection alive and rerun comboFix and let it try to install the Recovery Console and of course do a cursory scan again?

Yes, it is ok for you to have your internet connection up while running ComboFix. Doing this will allow ComboFix to download and install the Recovery Console on its own.

Regarding ComboFix, you used a really old version (09-10-01.01) of the program, that is at least 18-19 days old. I would like for you to delete ComboFix.exe off of your computer and download the latest version from one of the links below:

Link 1
Link 2

Be sure to save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop.

Once you've downloaded ComboFix, go ahead and run it. One the first things that'll pop-up will be ComboFix asking if you want it to download and install Recovery Console. Make sure you're connected to the Internet and then click Yes. Then let ComboFix finish its run and post back the ComboFix Log you get at the end in your next post/reply.

Virtumonde Removal - New comboFix.exe and Log

Regarding ComboFix, you used a really old version (09-10-01.01) of the program, that is at least 18-19 days old.

Ugghh !! . While surfing this forum THREE weeks ago I downloaded and assembled a batallion of anti-spyware in preparation for this forthcoming battle.

Sun Tsu - " A wise general makes a point knowing the enemy. "
I guess I am not a general. Its fortunate that you are a sharp fellow. You would make a good general.

The new comboFix.txt is below. Just out of curiosity, how does it compare with the old one?

The new comboFix.txt is below. Just out of curiosity, how does it compare with the old one?

Not too much difference between this one and the old one. You'll notice that the Other Deletions section in the new log has a file that wasn't in the old log's Other Deletions. Meaning that the new ComboFix has a more thorough database, which means more it can catch and delete more bad files, folders, registry entries, etc than the 09-10-01.01 version you were using.

Step # 1: Download and Run ATF Cleaner
Download ATF (Atribune Temp File) Cleaner© by Atribune to your desktop.

Double-click ATF Cleaner.exe to open it.

Under Main choose:
Windows Temp
Current User Temp
All Users Temp
Temporary Internet Files
Prefetch
Java Cache
*The other boxes are optional*
Then click the Empty Selected button.

Firefox:
Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Opera:
Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click NO at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Step # 2 Download and Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here.

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

Post the MalwareBytes' Log in your next post/reply.

Virtumonde Removal - MBAM Log

BTW, thanks for patiently guiding me the last 3 days. Your instructions have been very unambiguous and easy to follow by a non-expert computer user.

1. I have just ran ATF Cleaner successfully.

2. MBAM also ran successfully. There is only a very minor technicality. After the scan is complete, I was looking for a "Show Result" button but there is no "Show Result" button to click. The results automatically opened. Other than this, everything turns out exactly like you said.

3. What do you think is going on in my computer so far? Everything seems to be working fine at present, at least from what I can see. I just wonder whether it is spying on me !

4. The MBAM log you requested is below.

3. What do you think is going on in my computer so far? Everything seems to be working fine at present, at least from what I can see. I just wonder whether it is spying on me !

Looking through your ComboFix Logs, I found that these files that it removed:

c:\windows\a3kebook.ini
c:\windows\akebook.ini
c:\windows\ANS2000.INI

They are related to a keylogger called Probot SE. I didn't see Probot SE in the uninstall list in the attach.txt (from DDS) that you posted earlier. Did you download this program knowingly in the past and later uninstall it before you came here for help?

I'd like for you to do a scan with Spybot (be sure to update it first) and let me know if it comes up clean or finds Virtumonde/anything else.

Step # 1: Run Kaspersky Online Scan

Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
- Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
  Archives
  Mail databases
Click on My Computer under Scan.
Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....
Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
Please post this log in your next reply.

In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:

1. Answers regarding Probot SE and the Spybot scan
2. The Kaspersky Log
3. A fresh DDS Log
4. How is your computer doing, any problems?

Virtumonde Removal - Probot SE, Spybot Result, DDS.txt, Attach.txt, Kapersky Report

1. Probot SE
I have no recollection at all about this program called Probot SE. I have been thinking about this Probot SE for 3 hours, but couldn't recall anything about it. The only problem here is that I like to play and learn simple applications like jquery, php , firefox addons, etc. Probot SE could fall into this category as well.

I would say that I did not install it with 90% certainty and 10% uncertainty.

Is it possible to find out the details of installation, occurances, uninstallation, etc of Probot SE from the system logs ?

2. I have just updated Spybot and ran it. It did not detect Virtumonde or other malware, only some cookies and other stuff it considers not so harmful.
As the Spybot report is very long, I will only relay below the critical cookies it found. I have attached the full Spybot report in spybotsdReport20091024.zip.

Virtumonde Removal - (continued)

My computer is running very well, thanks to you. I have a few queries which I hope you can enlighten.

1. I have seen some fragments of AVG and Lightscribe details in some of the reports that we have generated. These programs have been uninstalled long ago. I have also used ( only very rarely but without problems ) a registry cleaner called Easy Cleaner to clean up things a bit. What should I do about these fragments of AVG, Lightscribe and possibly many others that I am not aware of ?

2. Can the system logs reveal more information about Probot SE installations, occurances, uninstallation, etc and how do I go about finding it ?

km2357 · Oct 24, 2009

Both the Kaspersky and DDS Logs look good.

1. Probot SE
I have no recollection at all about this program called Probot SE. I have been thinking about this Probot SE for 3 hours, but couldn't recall anything about it. The only problem here is that I like to play and learn simple applications like jquery, php , firefox addons, etc. Probot SE could fall into this category as well.
I would say that I did not install it with 90% certainty and 10% uncertainty.

Is it possible to find out the details of installation, occurances, uninstallation, etc of Probot SE from the system logs ?

Does anyone else use the computer besides you? Its possible that they could have installed/uninstalled it without your knowledge. It is also possible that Probot could have been bundled with something else you downloaded/installed. Since Probot is a keylogger and you more certain than uncertain that you didn't install it, as a precaution I would go ahead and change your passwords on the computer.

The only signs of Probot I saw on your computer were from the files that ComboFix deleted. You can try searching your computer for any folders that are named "Probot" or "Probot SE"

Let's also do a registry search for any instances of Probot:

Run Registry Search by Bobbi Flekman

Download Bobbi Flekman's RegSearch from
http://www.xs4all.nl/~fstaal01/downloads/regsearch.zip

Create a folder for RegSearch on the C: drive called C:\RegSearch. You can do this by going to My Computer then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it RegSearch. Extract all the files from the zip archive into that folder.

Open the RegSearch folder and double-click the icon for RegSearch.exe to launch the program.
Copy / Paste the following line into the Search Box:

probot

On the next line type probot se

then hit Ok

After completion Notepad will be opened with all the found instances of the strings. The resulting file is saved in the same location as RegSearch.exe.
Post the results of RegSearch.txt.

I have seen some fragments of AVG and Lightscribe details in some of the reports that we have generated. These programs have been uninstalled long ago. I have also used ( only very rarely but without problems ) a registry cleaner called Easy Cleaner to clean up things a bit. What should I do about these fragments of AVG, Lightscribe and possibly many others that I am not aware of ?

I looked through your most recent attach.txt and saw this:

LightScribe 1.4.84.1

If you don't need/use LightScribe anymore, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it, making sure to reboot your computer afterwards.

As for AVG, ComboFix got rid of some of their orphaned registry entries, there are a few more we can get rid of now:

Step # 1: Download and run ERUNT

You will be downloading ERUNT, a registry backup tool.
For version with the Installer:
Use the setup program to install ERUNT on your computer
For the zipped version:
Unzip all the files into a folder of your choice.

Click Erunt.exe to backup your registry to the folder of your choice.

Note:to restore your registry, go to the folder and start ERDNT.exe

Open Notepad!
Copy and Paste everything from the Quote box into Notepad:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\AVG Anti-Spyware Driver]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\AVG Anti-Spyware Guard]

Make sure there are NO blank lines before REGEDIT4
Make sure there IS one blank line at the end of the file.

Go to File > Save As
Save File name as Fix.reg
Change Save as Type to All Files and save the file to your desktop.

Close Notepad, and double-click Fix.reg on your Desktop. When it asks if you want to merge the info to the registry, hit YES/OK. Reboot the computer.

Finally, for Easy Cleaner, my suggestion is this:

Registry Cleaners

Re. Easy Cleaner

I don't personally recommend the use of ANY registry cleaners.
Here is an excerpt from a discussion on regcleaners:

Most reg cleaners aren't "bad" as such, but they aren't perfect and even the best have been known to cause problems. The point we are trying to make is that the risk of using one far outweighs any benefit. If it does work perfectly you will not see any difference. If it doesn't work properly you may end up with an expensive doorstop.

http://forums.whatthetech.com/Regcleaner_t42862.html

I recommend that you uninstall Easy Cleaner from your computer.

In your next post/reply, I need to see the following:

1. Did you find any probot or probot se folders?
2. Post the contents of RegSearch.txt
