Virus plays random audio ads

[Bobadilx]

So as of a couple days ago a random audio clip played, I had chrome open so I thought it was a page, but then I closed it and it kept going. I also noticed my computer randomly makes clicking sounds and when it does this it acts like I clicked the task bar so that nothing is selected. The audio clips are commercials and just random stuff (I got the mario song once). I've been googling this for days and tried what people have suggested/run multiple spyware and virus programs with no luck.

Here is my Hijackthis log:

Hello and Welcome to TSF.

We no longer use HijackThis as our initial analysis tool.

We want all our members to perform the steps outlined in the link I'll give you below, before posting for assistance. There's a sticky at the top of this forum, and a

Having problems with spyware and pop-ups? First Steps

link at the top of each page.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please follow our pre-posting process outlined here:

http://www.techsupportforum.com/f50/...lp-305963.html

After running through all the steps, you shall have a proper set of logs.

If you have trouble with one of the steps, simply move on to the next one, and make note of it in your reply.

Sorry for the lack of proper etiquette. I did the dds scan but the gmer scan gave me a blue screen every time I tried it that said something along the lines of:
STOP. c000021 {Fatal System Error}
Windows login terminated with status of 0xc0000005

I tried it with the just C: and Sections checked and got the same error.
As for further clarification of my problem, I am certain it is a virus and not a minimized program or browser as I have checked this multiple times. The sounds clips seem random and consist of mainly commercials, though not always. The most common sound is simply a clicking sound precisely like the one when I open a file, although it often happens in multiples. Randomly the computer loses control of what I'm doing, as if I clicked on the taskbar at the bottom, so with full screen programs, like games, it minimizes them. I have scanned with AVG 8.5, Malwarebytes, and Search & Destroy and nothing is found. I've had viruses before and fixed them myself and I spent two days googling this and trying to find a solution with no luck so I came here. If I have to reformat I can, but I would like not to:

[tetonbob]

I suspect you have an infection of the Master Boot Record (MBR).

Before we attempt to clean it, I'd like to try to get a rootkit scan.

First, try GMER in Safe Mode. Sections and C drive is enough.

Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work. Login on your usual account. Make sure to close any open browsers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If still no joy, please try this rootkit scanner.

Scan With RootKitUnHooker

• Please Download Rootkit Unhooker Save it to your desktop.
• Now double-click on RKUnhookerLE.exe to run it.
• Click the Report tab, then click Scan.
• Check (Tick) Drivers, Stealth. Uncheck the rest. then Click OK.
• Wait till the scanner has finished and then click File, Save Report.
• Save the report somewhere where you can find it. Click Close.

Copy the entire contents of the report and paste it in a reply here.

Note** you may get this warning it is ok, just ignore

"Rootkit Unhooker has detected a parasite inside itself!
It is recommended to remove parasite, okay?"


Also, please do this:


Please download MBRCheck.exe to your desktop.

• Be sure to disable your security programs
• Double click on the file to run it (Vista and Windows 7 users will have to confirm the UAC prompt)
• A window will open on your desktop
• if an unknown bootcode is found you will have further options available to you, at this time press N then press Enter twice.
• If nothing unusual is found just press Enter
• A .txt file named MBRCheck_mm.dd.yy_hh.mm.ss should appear on your desktop.
• Please post the contents of that file.

[Bobadilx]

Okay, ran C: and sections in safe mode and attached the log in the zip file below with the previous Attach.txt file.

Thanks so much for your help.

[tetonbob]

Hi -

And the log from MBRCheck?

[Bobadilx]

Here's the MBRCheck, sorry I thought that was part of your sig for some reason.

MBRCheck, version 1.1.1

(c) 2010, AD



\\.\C: --> \\.\PhysicalDrive0

\\.\E: --> \\.\PhysicalDrive0



Size Device Name MBR Status

--------------------------------------------

298 GB \\.\PhysicalDrive0 Unknown MBR code





Found non-standard or infected MBR.

Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:



Done! Press ENTER to exit...

[tetonbob]

OK, thanks...

Before beginning the fix, read this post completely. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix.

It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.

Stay with me until given the 'all clear' even if symptoms diminish. Lack of symptoms does not always mean the job is complete.

Kindly follow my instructions and please do no fixing on your own or running of scanners unless requested by me or another helper at this forum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download ComboFix from this location only!
   
   ComboFix
   
   
2. Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with ComboFix.
   
   
   You can get help on disabling your protection programs here
   
3. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
   
4. As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.
   
   Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.
   
   
   
   
   
   The Windows recovery console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery mode that allows us to help you in the case that your computer has a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
   
   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.
   
   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.
   
   ComboFix will now automatically install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console onto your computer, which will show up as a new option when booting up your computer. Do not select the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console option when you start your computer unless requested to by a helper.
   
   Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see a message that says:
   
   The Recovery Console was successfully installed.
   
   
   
   Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
   
5. Your desktop may go blank. This is normal. It will return when ComboFix is done. ComboFix may reboot your machine. This is normal.
   
6. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
   
   Note:
   Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
7. Ensure your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications are re-enabled.
   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good job. I should think the random sounds have stopped now. Let me know.

Next...


Go Start > Run and copy/paste the following single-line command into the Run box and click OK:

cmd /c PEV --c##c . #m - #u - #5 #t #F# "%systemdrive%\wscntfy.*" >Log.txt&Log.txt&del Log.txt

A Notepad file will open. Post the contents of Log.txt in your next reply.

[Bobadilx]

I ran that command multiple times and the command prompt opens and the notepad file opens but it is blank. On a side note, I haven't heard the sounds or had the minimizing yet. If that means it's gone then I just want to thank you for taking the time to help me. Your help has truly been wonderful and I appreciate it greatly.

[tetonbob]

hmmm. I have no such problems with that command here. Even if there were no files matching the search, there should be data in the log showing that.

Let's do this instead

Hi -

Do you have a Windows XP installation CD? If so, what Service Pack level is it?

[Bobadilx]

I'm visiting some family in Florida so I don't have it here, but I'm pretty sure I still have one at home, although I'm not sure what service pack it is.

[tetonbob]

Ok. wscntfy.exe is missing. This is the Windows Security Center notification executable. It first appeared in Service Pack 2, and is also in Service Pack 3. It's a file the OS will operate without, but should be replaced. If your install disk is either SP2 or SP3, you should be able to extract and expand the file from the CD to it's rightful place in C:\Windows\system32

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888017

We can continue on and you can take care of that later at home.

We still have a bit of work to do, but before we continue, I need a bit of information. The earlier DDS log, Attach.txt seemed blank in several areas. I've not seen this infection do that before, but it may have been a product of that. Can you please run DDS once again, and post both it's logs?

[Bobadilx]

Here's the DDS.txt and Attach.txt is in the zip file:

Ok, great.

Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs):

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 15


This isl outdated, and a ecurity risk by having it installed still. Unfortunately, Java does not uninstall these older versions when you update, nor tell you that you should. Java(TM) 6 Update 17 can be updated from the Java control panel Start > Control Panel (Classic View) > Java (looks like a coffee cup) > Update Tab > Update Now. An update should begin; follow the prompts. Let me know if it does not.

Going forward, Java will overwrite existing installs, so removing older versions should not be required after this.

Once the install is complete...

Go into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon. (looks like a coffee cup)

• On the General tab, under Temporary Internet Files, click the Settings button.
• Next, click on the Delete Files button
• There are two options in the window to clear the cache - Leave BOTH Checked
  • Applications and Applets
    Trace and Log Files
• Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
  Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
• Click OK to leave the Temporary Files Window
• Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.
