Spybot has found Zlob.DNSChanger.Rtk and Possible Virtumonde infections. It said that it had cleaned the Zlob.DNSChanger trojan but upon rescanning it was listed again. It also had many errors trying to scan for the Virtumonde Trojan. Please help me eliminate the infection. Attached is my HJT output file for your examination.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

May I ask if this is same case as the one I'm already helping you in here?
 
Hi Blade,

No, this is a different case I'm afraid. I have run ComboFix and here is the result. Thank you.

Hi

Start hjt, do a system scan, check:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1 <-- if not set by yourself


Reboot.

Delete following files:
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\StripSaver_116.EXE
D:\3wPlayer-1.9.0.0-setup-0983.exe
D:\QuickTime Pro 7[1].x.rar


Uninstall old Java versions and get Java 6 Update 7 here.

Post a fresh hjt log.


Zlob no longer reported but gives access denied permissions when trying to report on Virtumonde.
Click to expand...
Spybot reports that? Could you try running Spybot in safe mode to see if it works there? Please provide a screenshot of the situation if error still appears.
 
Rescanned with Spybot and no immediate threats were found. Here is the latest HJT Log. Thank you.

    • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
    Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here

    1. [*]Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) [*]Click run [*]In the dialog box, type services.msc [*]hit enter, then locate dns client [*]Highlight it, then double-click it. [*]On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. [*]Click ok

  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this webpage out.
    See here to choose one if you don't have a 3rd party firewall.


Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.
