Believe infection came from popular social networking site, computer became sluggish and unresponsive with multiple simultaneous errors and notifications from spybot s&d and mcafee security center. Upon scan spybot found:

virtumonde.sci
pws.ldpinchie
smitfraud-c.
virtumonde
virtumonde.generic
spyhunter

All attempts with spybot to 'fix' have netted zero result. I disabled resident teatimer but when I follow the link in 'before you post...' to download the .bat to clear entries, I get only a text file.

Also at the behest of the 'before you post...' thread, I attempted to download erunt but ended up instead with a junk program that has added a fake red shield on the taskbar that on hover says it is Windows Security Alerts and tells me automatic updates are turned off. When I manually check the windows security center, it shows automatic updates are on.

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance) http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Make sure you read and follow the directions, anything else will slow the process and waste both of our time. I suggest you keep this computer offline except when troubleshooting, the junk may download more. If you have any tool I use, delete it and download it new from the link I provide. Read and follow the directions carefully, the tools will not work unless you do.
The junk can be tough to remove, so do not expect fast or easy.

I apologize for the wait, volunteers are swamped at all forums with infected computers. If you have resolved your issues, please post to let me know so I can close this topic.

If you still need help, and you have read and followed the "Before you Post" directions, post a new HJT log and I will take a look, please describe any recent symptoms.

Thanks
 
Thank you for responding! I am away from the infected computer right now but I do still need assistance. I will submit the new HJT log in 3 hours, please don't archive my thread yet.
 
That is not a problem, I do start very early EST and I shutdown early. Depending on when the HJT log is posted, is if you will receive an answer tonight or tomorrow morning.

Thanks
 
I reread the 'Before you post' thread and I believe I've done everything correctly, except the .bat for teatimer. The problem I still have with those instructions is that I'm not sure the batch file for teatimer is doing what it is supposed to. I have unchecked resident in the program but the .bat saves as a text file and doesn't seem to do anything.

If it matters, since my first log posting I periodically ran my normal McAfee virus scan, Spybot S&D and Malwarebytes. All scans now come up clean but I am much more comfortable with your expertise. I did NOT use ComboFix. My symptoms have somewhat changed:

*Buffer overflow notification from McAfee everytime computer is started
*Intermittent internet connection (this seems to be corrected now)
*Images in McAfee Security Center seem to be corrupted. No images at all, just text. This has been present since symptoms began.
*Kid thought since the scans were clean he could get online. Booted up MapleStory and McAfee detected generic!artemis. He's been playing this a long time, not sure if it is a false detection.

Thank you in advance and I will definitely be patient given the time difference and how busy you all are right now.

I meant to include this small bit of info about the buffer overflow, I don't know if it's important so I'll include it in case.

McAfee has automatically blocked a buffer overflow.

About this Buffer Overflow
File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe
 
Thanks for the feedback, you would not see ResetTeaTimer.bat do anything, it happens in a instant, if is needed to clean the TeaTimer memory we will know it later and I will show you how to run it then.

When you get a message like you posted last, I must have that message word for word as Windows presents it to you, that is the only way it can be researched.

I am not seeing much, but I see a couple of clues: ssynxm.dll, O20 - Winlogon Notify: awtuurom - C:\WINDOWS\
So we will proceed like this to see what may be hidden.

1) Please DO NOT ENABLE Spybot S&D TeaTimer while we work together.

2) A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use

Download ComboFix from here:

Link 1

* 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
  • See this Link for programs that need to be disabled and instruction on how to disable them.
  • Remember to re-enable them when we're done.

  • 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.

RcAuto1.gif

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

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 along with a New Hijackthis log.

*If there is no internet connection when Combofix has completely finished then restart your computer to restore back the connections.

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

3) Post also an uninstall list: Open Hijackthis.
Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.
Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.
Click the "Save list..." Button.
Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.
(You may edit out Microsoft, Hotfixes, Security Update for Windows XP,
Update for Windows XP and Windows XP Hotfix to shorten the list)

Thanks...Phil
 
Have logs ready for your review. I followed the instructions in the link to disable McAfee, Spybot (was already off) and WinPatrol. McAfee did pop up a notification while combofix was running, and after combofix restarted the PC, WinPatrol also notified me of a host file change but it was the same local host already in the hosts file.

When combofix restarted the PC, there was a pop up indicating dwwin.exe initialization failed because the PC was restarting.

Also automatic updates were turned off automatically during combofix. Perhaps that is normal but no harm mentioning it.

Thanks for returning your information and the feedback, Appears some tool you used removed part of this infection (likely MBAM) but some was left as you can see.
http://research.sunbelt-software.com/threatdisplay.aspx?name=Rootkit.TDss.Gen&threatid=414535

Please continue to follow the instructions carefully and in the numbered order.

1) Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

2) Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

Code: 
Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"=-

Save this as CFScript

CFScriptB-4.gif


Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe.

This may start ComboFix again. I do not need to see the combofix log this time.

3) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: ssynxm.dll <<< may be gone

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

4) Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

*Cleaning Prefetch may result in a few slow starts until the folder is repopulated:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Gaining-Speed-Empty-Prefetch-XP.html

(if you still have MBAM you may use it, but make sure you update and run as instructed)

5) Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* Be 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 FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
* Please post contents of that file & a new HJT log in your next reply.

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. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Tutorial if needed:
http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/tutorials/2282-malwarebytes-anti-malware-mbam.html

How is the computer running now?

Thanks

Uninstall list: I look for malware and security issues and will not know all of your programs, but you should.
Hackers are using out of date programs to infect folks more and more,
Here is a small free tool that lets you know when something needs an update if you are interested:
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ While PSI runs in the System Tray for realtime notifications, I personally prefer to turn it off in MSConfig and run it from All Programs when I want to do a check.

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 <<< out of date and unsafe, see this:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10081618-83.html?tag=nl.e433
http://www.filehippo.com/download_adobe_reader/
(if you want a smaller program, look at this one)
Foxit Reader 2.3 for Windows (make sure to uncheck toolbars)
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
 
Good morning! Quick question, sorry. I started with dragging the CFScript onto ComboFix but as it was running I got a notification from McAfee:

Potentially Unwanted Program Detected
McAfee has blocked a potentially unwanted program (PUP) on your computer. If you do not recognize it, we recommend that you remove the program.

About this Potentially Unwanted Program
Name: RemAdm-ProcLaunch!171
Location: C:32788R22FWJFW\psexec.cfexe

My options are:
Remove this program
Trust this program
Close this alert

Combofix proceeded to warn me that antivirus was active so I turned it off before Combofix continued.

Before I proceed with the rest of your recommendations, do you know if this McAfee PUP notification is a result of Combofix running? I'm not sure if I should remove it or trust it.
 
Likely McAfee is seeing part of combofix, that's why sUBs asked for certain programs to be turned off during the run. I find it ironic:sad: that a (paid for) program that could not prevent this infection interferes when you try to remove the junk.

Thanks
 
The McAfee Security Center is provided free of charge by my ISP but I totally agree with your comment that it's sad that it can detect problems AFTER the fact but not prevent users from being infected in the first place. Despite having several 'security' programs running, Facebook was able to run whatever script(s) it chose with no barrier. I'm not loyal to McAfee nor averse to using a different product. When I'm clean I will look into Foxit to replace the outdated Adobe product.

In an earlier post I mentioned a game that McAfee detected generic!artemis in. Perhaps you can't speak to this, but do you have any suggestions as to how I can determine if this was legitimate or a false detection?

*I ran ComboFix as instructed - dropped the CFScript you provided onto ComboFix and it completed.

*I opened HJT and ran scan only. As you mentioned may happen, O20 - AppInit_DLLs: ssynxm.dll was not in the list.

*I ran ATF Cleaner which finished quickly and smoothly.

*I updated and did a full scan with Malwarebytes and the log plus the fresh HJT log follow below.

The computer seems to be running fine at this time. Between the WinPatrol, SiteHound, Adblock Plus, etc. I'll probably never read a website normally again but hopefully my PC will be healthier.

One note on PC performance, I've mentioned a few times that the images from McAfee seem to be corrupted. I thought this was a McAfee issue but I just ran Secunia PSI for the first time and it also doesn't contain images, just placeholders.
 
In an earlier post I mentioned a game that McAfee detected generic!artemis in.
Click to expand...
I would need to see the exact message McAfee gave you, you can also look at the Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=generic!artemis&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
This might be of interest: http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid14_gci1066761,00.html

As far as your comments in post #14, it is possible one of the programs you are running is blocking something? Turn them off one at a time and see what happens. I would also suggest you look at this information:
It's not always malware: How to fix the top 10 Internet Explorer issues
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/IEtopten.mspx
I believe this is what you are talking about:
Issues viewing Web pages
"Page cannot be displayed" errors
Red x instead of pictures
View, Source doesn't work

Let's see if we can wrap up like this:

Remove combofix from the computer like this:

Click START then RUN
Now type or copy Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

Clean the System Restore files like this:

Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot

Turn ON System Restore,
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

(you can make this optional, since the last scan was clean)
Update MBAM and scan to be sure we missed none of the junk, there is no need to post a clean scan result.
(MBAM is yours to keep if you wish, update it and run it once a month or so)

Update McAfee and scan the system, to be sure it is running right and scanning clean. If you have problems with the program, contact tech support for instructions.

If all is well at this point, let me know and I will close the topic.

Some good information for you:

I've found that the McAfee Security Center is based off IE in some way so the missing images in a few programs and IE must be due to a setting I changed. Will make do with that although I rarely use IE.

*ComboFix Removed
*System Restore cleaned and reenabled
*MBAM updated and scanned - clean
*McAfee updated and scanned - clean

I've bookmarked the links you provided. Thank you so very much for your patience and assistance. The service you and the other volunteers provide here and at other forums is invaluable and has encouraged me to check out a malware university to educate myself and possibly help others someday. Thank you!

Thanks, here is a new log. When I started seeing entries I didn't recognize I disabled teatimer but some may have popped through. I see a few things that weren't there before! Uh oh.

I see SpywareGuard running so there is no need to enable TeaTimer. I will post tutorials for SpywareGuard and SpywareBlaster if you are interested.

Download ResetTeaTimer.bat to the Desktop
http://downloads.subratam.org/ResetTeaTimer.bat <<< right click the link and choose "Save target as...
Double click ResetTeaTimer.bat
to remove all entries set by TeaTimer (and preventing TeaTimer to restore them upon reactivation).

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"
