fake security center at startup

[Mikedez]

Hi guys i'm new here and I really hope you can help. I'm helping a friend clean up there system (they had no security till after they had major infections) and i've got rid of just about everything but I can't stop the fake windows security center from coming up on start up and the bad grammer fake "system unstable" messages. I've tried smitfraud fix but its still there. Here is my Hijack this log.

Hi,

Since HijackThis creates backups of all it fixes and we want them safe and secured should they be required later, we need to move HijackThis to a permanent folder. Right now it's running from inside a temp cleaner. It will get deleted easily after you run combofix.

a.) While in your Desktop, right click in the background > Go to New > click Folder > Name the Folder HJT

b.) After creating the folder, find your HijackThis.exe. Then, drag and drop that file to the new folder you created.
___________

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running combofix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix


Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
   
2. Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt
New HijackThis log.
___________

HJT Uninstall list

• Open HijackThis > Click "Misc Tools Section"
• Click "Open Uninstall Manager".
• Click "Save List".
• Save it to your Desktop.
• Copy the contents of the file to your next reply.

I can't seem to get combofix through it's task. Something that this infection has been doing is a system shutdown whenever I run a scan (anti-virus, online, spyware). The only way I know to stop it is to run cmd.exe and type shutdown -a but the instructions for combofix said not to do anything while its running. Please advise.

[Mikedez]

I got it. I just kept running it untill it completed a run. I already have the recovery console installed but it said I don't and i'm not sure why. Here are the logs.

Hi,

The only way I know to stop it is to run cmd.exe and type shutdown -a but the instructions for combofix said not to do anything while its running. Please advise.

You can use shutdown -a since it is needed for it to run till it finishes.


I would love to see the other combofix logs so I will have an idea what it deleted.. Can you navigate inside this folder: C:\Qoobox

There are files named combofix?.txt there where the ? represents a number. Can you attach all those files for me?


How did you install the recovery console? Did you drag and drop the package you downloaded from the microsoft site to combofix.exe?

I asked you to post a hijackthis uninstall list. Please include that in your next post.

[Mikedez]

here are the logs thank you so much for looking at this

[Angelfire777]

You didn't answer this question:

How did you install the recovery console? Did you drag and drop the package you downloaded from the microsoft site to combofix.exe?

Please give me a detailed description as to what happened when you attempted to install the recovery console.

[Mikedez]

lets make sure we are talking about the same thing the recovery console is a choice in the boot options when i press f8 while booting the system i can boot into it and have already so if you are talking about something else i dont have it but if thats it i have already use it atleast once

[Mikedez]

I worked it out. I reviewed my logs and found the culprit.
It was C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\nqpqhjqe.dll
I was suspicious of this so I renamed it to .txt and looked at it with notepad and found all the control info for all the problems I was having i.e. Security Center pop up at start up and the bad grammer warning messages. I've attached a copy of this file as a .txt so you can have a look. I found it interesting.
Thank you for your help and if you saw anything else I should know about in the logs please let me know.

[Angelfire777]

Hi,

I understand that you're trying to fix this on your own but please allow me to assist you fully.

lets make sure we are talking about the same thing the recovery console is a choice in the boot options when i press f8 while booting the system i can boot into it and have already so if you are talking about something else i dont have it but if thats it i have already use it atleast once

Yes, that's the recovery console that I asked aobut. Reason I asked is because I found it odd that combofix reported that it isn't installed. I never saw something like that before. Let's see if the next run will still show it.
