"Fakevirus" gone, or is it?

I were infected by something that kept popping up in my tray and saying that I had a virus.

This is a screenshot that someone with the same problem has taken:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/alevar...cd.jpg&.src=ph

I had just rebooted my computer and quite suddenly got this virus/malware w/e. I had something similiar before, but it kept installing a fake anti-malware program called SpyAxe. Anyway, I used loads of programs like Ewido, SmitFraudFix, AdAware and some more and now the virus is gone, atleast I think so.

If I remember right I had some weird process named something like "attk" which were terminated by AdAware, or atleast that's what it said.
Anyway, here is my HiJackThis-log.

Hi Dogge

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad in order to assist you while carrying out the following instructions. This page will not be available to you at some points during the fix. Please read the instructions carefully before you begin and if you have any questions then post them here before continuing. It is important you carry out the instructions in the exact order stated. Please make sure that all other windows (including browsers) are closed while carrying out the fixes.

To ensure you have the latest version of SmitfraudFix Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run option #2 OR any other option until you are directed to do so!

I see you already have Ewido. You will need to update Ewido to the latest definition files.
Launch Ewido & click Update from the left pane
Then click on Start Update.

If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido
When you have finished updating, EXIT Ewido.

Please download Cleanup! and install it. You will use this later.

*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temporary folders and does not make backups.If you have any files or programs stored in a temporary folder then please make backups before running cleanup. Do not run cleanup on XP 64-bit edition. If your not sure if you have 64-bit then you probably don't. You can make sure by downloading and running this tool http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/Download...p_whichcpu.vbs (download using IE)

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
Set the program up as follows:

Click "Options..."
Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Cookies
  • Delete Prefetch files (if present)
  • Cleanup! All Users
  • Click on the Temporary Files tab and uncheck the box for Scan drives for files matching if it’s checked.
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program and reboot when prompted into Safe Mode

Boot to Safe Mode (by repeatedly tapping F8 until the menu appears)

Go to My Computer >Tools >Folder Options >View tab and select Show hidden files and folders. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option. Also make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types. Click OK.

Run Ewido with it's updated definitions:(...it's important that all windows must be closed)
  • Click Scanner
  • Click Complete System Scan to begin scanning.
  • Click OK when prompted to clean files


With the first file it prompts to clean, select the option:

* "Perform action on all infections"
* Choose clean and click OK.


Once finished, click the Save report button & save the report to your desktop

** Ewido scan would require at least an hour. I suggest that you go grab a cup of coffee & do something else while you wait for it to complete.

Reboot the system. Boot back into Safe Mode (by repeatedly tapping F8 until the menu appears)

Open Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the following programs (If they still exist)

PurityScan by OIN
Snowball Wars by OIN
Yazzle by OIN
or any programs by OIN


Open Hijack This and click on Scan. Check the following entries (make sure you do not miss any)

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {F8EB4BDF-DB42-F2B4-6DA7-F25D37C34E9D} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\twux.dll (file missing)

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\System32\scanregw.dll



Please remember to close all other windows, including browsers then click Fix checked.

Delete the following Files indicated in RED and Folders in BLUE if they still exist.

C:\Program\Purity Scan
C:\Program\Yazzle
C:\Program\Snowball Wars
C:\WINDOWS\DOBE~1 <<< make sure NOT to delete the legit ADOBE folder
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ scanregw.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ twux.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ 61231003.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SMANTE~1 <<< make sure NOT to delete the legit SYMANTEC folder



Reboot to Normal mode

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"
and a text file will appear which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run option #2 OR any other option until you are directed to do so!

Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan

Click on the "Free To Use ActiveScan" located on the top right hand corner
  1. Click Check Now and a "pop up" window will appear. * Please ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it *
  2. Enter your e-mail address, country, and state & click Scan Now * The download of the 8 MB Panda's ActiveX control will take place *
Begin the scan by selecting My Computer
  • If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report.
  • Please ignore any entry it finds and the offer to buy the program to remove the entry, as we will address this later.
  • Click on See report then click Save report
* You needn't remain online while it's doing the scan but you have to re-connect after it has finished to see the report.
* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan



Post the Panda Scan report and a new HijackThis log

Hi Dogge

Your logs look clean now. If there are no more issues then you should be good to go. We have a few things to deal with 1st.

Kindly follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

  1. Please use Symantec's guide to remove the Norton Quarantine files.

  2. CLEAR & RESET SYSTEM RESTORE'S CACHE - (System Volume Information folder)
    Go to Start >> Run - type control sysdm.cpl,,4 & press Enter
    • Tick on the checkbox - Turn off System Restore on all drives
    • Click Apply
    Turn it back 'On' by unticking the same checkbox & click OK


  3. DISABLE THE VIEWING OF SYSTEM FILES
    From Windows Explorer, go to Tools>Folder Options> View tab.
    • Untick - Show hidden files and folder
    • Tick - Hide file extensions for known types
    • Tick - Hide protected operating system files
    Click Yes to confirm & then click OK


  4. SECURING INTERNET EXPLORER
    From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Internet Options.
    • Select the Security tab
      • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
      • Select Custom Level .
        • Change 'Download signed ActiveX controls' to Prompt
        • Change 'Download unsigned ActiveX controls' to Disable
        • Change 'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe' to Disable
        • Change 'Installation of desktop items' to Prompt
        • Change 'Launching programs and files in an IFRAME' to Prompt
        • Change 'Navigate sub-frames across different domains' to Prompt
        • When all these changes have been made, click on the OK button.
      • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
    • Select OK to exit the Internet Properties page.


  5. ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
    It is very important that you have anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

    See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

    Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources

    It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.


  6. FIREWALL
    Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. A tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones can be found here.


  7. Microsoft Windows Update
    Visit windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer always has the latest security updates. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


  8. SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY
    Download and install Spybot - Search & Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here


  9. AD-AWARE
    Download and install Ad-Aware. You should use this program to scan your computer on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here

Update all these programs regularly. Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically. Here are some additional utilities that will further enhance your safety.
  • Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)

  • Firefox - Use this alternate browser. Whilst Internet Explorer is not a bad browser, almost every exploit crafted is targeted to take advantage of an IE weakness.

  • Sun's Java - It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine.

  • Google Toolbar - Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

  • CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.

  • ERUNT - A useful freeware utility for users of Windows 2000/XP. It's made up of two parts - ERUNT & NTREGOPT.

    ERUNT will create daily complete backups of your computer's Registry. Whilst System Restore does the same thing, a corrupt registry file may prevent Windows from booting & this effectively renders disables System Restore. With ERUNT, you're able to restore the damaged Registry.

    NTREGOPT works by recreating each registry hive "from scratch", thus removing any slack space that may be left from previously modified or deleted keys. In other words, it compacts the Registry to a small size which allows Windows to load & perform faster.

  • Winpatrol - Download and install the free version of Winpatrol.
    A tutorial for this product is located here:
    Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein

After doing all these, your system will be optimised against future threats.

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder in a couple weeks if everything is working okay.
Have a safe & happy computing day.

Please respond to this thread one more time so we can mark this thread as resolved.
