Can you do a Start>Search and look for eksplorasi.exe and sempalong.exe?

There appear to be several variants of Rontokbro, and I'm unclear of which one you have. They all appear to trigger a scheduled job, which is why I that that script look into your Tasks folder. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything there.

I've been doing some research. Let's try this script. Various flavors of Rontokbro change some registry settings, and I think that may be keeping us from actually seeing it on disk. Go to Start>Run and type in notepad and hit OK. Then copy and paste the following into Notepad:

Code:
@ECHO OFF
>\localau.txt (
  reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
  reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Run"
  reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot"
  reg query "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer"
  reg query "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System"
)
start /max \localau.txt
Save the file as "localau.bat". Make sure to save it with the quotes. Close Notepad. Double click on localau.bat and it should open up another Notepad with some text. Please post that text here.

Hang in there -- we will beat this.

I've been thinking about this all day. I'm wondering if I'm looking for a problem that really isn't there.

Let's go over what we do know. You've got Rontokbro in various folders und C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents, but you don't have access to them. Something I should have done is to have you fix permissions on that folder so at least they'll be quarantined. This very well may take care of the problem, since you don't seem to be infected as far as I can determine.

Download this archive: http://deckard.be/tools/fix-rontokbro.zip and extract it to your Desktop. Double-click the fix.bat file contained within. It should briefly pop up a command window. Now run a scan with Norton. It should be able to quarantine those files now and hopefully that will be the end of this problem.

Truth be told, I should have done this much earlier and I apologize for that. I got caught up trying to determine if you were still infected.

Let's see if it comes back this weekend, but I'm hoping it's gone for good now.

The notifications started showing up again. I attached a log of what norton's found today (just figured out how to do that...heh.) Let me know what you think. Sorry about this being so stubborn...


Edit: I guess you can't attach excel files, so i uploaded it instead. Here's the link: http://download.yousendit.com/F877D7041D39F33B

If I'm reading the log right, Norton is reminding you what's in it's quarantine. We might as well flush it. Please follow Symantec's guide to clean out your Norton quarantine directory.

How frustrating. I think it just locked itself away in that folder again.

Let's try this: make sure your AVG Anti-Spyware is up-to-date (start AVGAS and click the "Update now" link) and then boot to safe mode. Re-run the fix-rontokbro.bat file to unlock those files and re-run a scan with AVG Anti-Spyware while in safe mode. Keep that log because I want you to post it with your next reply. Reboot to normal mode.

Download Dr.Web Cureit
Download Dr.Web CureIt to the Desktop.
  • Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan.
  • This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
  • Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
  • Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
  • Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
  • Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
  • When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
  • If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:

    This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured (in case if we need samples).
  • After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
  • Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
  • Close Dr.Web Cureit.
  • Reboot your computer because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.

Post the AVG log along with the Dr.Web scan after you reboot.

Okay, I think I found a removal tool that I believe will work. Let's try using it.

Please download CleanX-II and save it to your Desktop.
  1. Disconnect/unplug the computer from the Internet.
  2. Save any work which you're doing & close all other programs.
  3. Double-click CleanX-II.exe
  4. The tool will begin scanning your machine. Because this worm names it's files randomly, there are a series of cross-checks/verification processes to ensure that the tool does not remove legitimate files. Depending on the size of your drives, this scan may take several minutes. Please be patient during this period & allow it to complete it's task.
  5. Once it has finished scanning, it will provide a log file, which will be saved to your Desktop with the name CleanX-II.txt. Please post that log.

Well, it doesn't look much different than the other removal tools we were throwing at it.

Is Norton still finding them?

You must be getting re-infected from a source outside your computer. Are you plugging in any flash/usb drives or sharing any files? I'm going to disable Autorun for your CD and removable drives, which is a good thing to do anyway.

Edit Regsitry
Go to Start>Run and type regedit, then click OK.
  • On the left side, click to highlight My Computer at the top.
  • Select Export from the File menu.
    • Make sure in that window there is a tick next to "All" under Export Branch.
    • Leave the "Save As Type" as "Registration Files".
    • Under "Filename" put backup.
  • Choose to save it to C:\ or somewhere else safe so that you will remember where you put it (don't put it on the desktop!)
  • Click save and then go to File>Exit.
This is so the registry can be restored to this point if we need it. It may take a minute, so just let it go until it's done.

Go to Start→Run and type in notepad and hit OK. Then copy and paste the following into Notepad:

Code:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]
"Autorun"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000095

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000095

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000095
Save the file as "fix.reg". Make sure to save it with the quotes. Close Notepad. Double click on the fix.reg file and choose Yes to merge/add it to the registry. You may delete the file afterwards.


Delete Autorun.inf
Go to Start→Search and look for autorun.inf. Delete all copies you find.


Re-run CleanX-II
Run CleanX-II on all your machines on your network. If you're using removable media, make sure you get them scanned, too. Post any logs.


Lastly, if you could find a copy of the virus, please upload it to http://deckard.be/submit/ so I can look at it.

CleanX deleted all the copies you had; if they come back we can grab one from Norton's quarantine.
