Lol...Gmer isall that's needed.

Run Gmer again & right click on the entry

Service C:\WINDOWS\System32:18467 (*** hidden *** ) [SYSTEM] pe386 <-- ROOTKIT !!!

Select 'Delete the Service' & agree to the prompts given

Then reboot your machine & do another Gmer scan. Let me know if it's still there.

Congratulations. Looks like you have successfully deleted the rootkit service.

Let's go after the hidden file. It may still be present

Start HijackThis & Go to Config> Misc Tools > Open ADS Spy
  1. Checkmark/tick - "Ignore Safe System Info Streams"
  2. Click the "Scan" button
  3. When it has finished scanning, checkmark/tick all that it found
  4. Click the "remove selected" button

PS..the entry looks like this

C:\WINDOWS\System32:18467

Well did that but I don't think it found anything like what you are describing - it found 2 things, but before I delete, I need your recommendations first. Please see the attachment.

Fix those. These are Alternate Data Streams. It allows files to be embedded within other files/folders, riding piggy back on it. You cant see these files with Windows. In my opinion, that makes all/any of them undesirable.

Please run a full Gmer scan & tell me if the BSODs persist.

Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deleted those 2 entries, rebooted and re-ran a full gmer scan with all areas checked, including the Registry and hey-presto it did not bomb with a BSOD hehe!! - Well done sUBs - you are now winning this battle lol!

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\kmixer.sys is a valid Windows file.

That looks like a false positive.

Let's test it by subjecting it to a comprehensive scan.

Please visit this website - http://virusscan.jotti.org
Submit the file for a comprehensive scan & then post the results back here.

It's legit then. No worry then.

Plug this machine to the router & let me know if the earlier symptoms persist.

OK - Plugged it in 8 mins ago and so far so good! I'm now going to have some tea and see if the problems continue. I will report back within the hour. Could you please summarise though what you think caused these problems and say how they were encountered. Were the BSOD's as a direct result of the Rootkit activity? What will happen do you think once I start to update Windows once more? - do you think the Rootkit Activity had something to do with blocking this activity? Updating windows is all I need to do now to update my machine back to it's former glory!

I will wait for your thoughts before I have tea.

pe386 is a relative new rootkit infection. Not much is known about it yet. Someone probably used this machine to visit those sites & unwittingly got it infected.

It's creates a rookited malware driver to hides it's presence from the Windows API. It's highly probable that this driver causes conflicts within Windows & this has led to those BSODs.

Now that it's gone, it's improbable that Windows Update would pose any issues.

Well it looks like all bad things have come to an end - no more BSOD's and Windows finally updated fully. No more emails being sent - just wish we could learn more about this thing. Anything further to add sUBs? - I need to do my chores around 19.30 though.

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

  1. 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


  2. 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


  3. 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.


  4. 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.


  5. 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.


  6. 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.


  7. 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


  8. 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


  9. SPYWAREBLASTER
    SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of malicious ActiveX, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software. Blocks spyware/tracking cookies & restricts the actions of potentially unwanted sites.

    Unlike other programs, SpywareBlaster does not have to remain running in the background. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here


  10. IE-SPYAD
    IE/Spyad places more than 4000 dubious websites and domains in the IE Restricted list. This severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites. A tutorial on installing 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.
