Viruses - Dialers - Worms - Exploits are having a party in my PC!

[SystemTError]

Everything started when I tried to run regedit, and a black box with an error message came up instead. I saw it was saying "regedit.com" somewhere, so I knew there was something fishy happening. (When I run regedit.exe instead, everything was running fine.) So, I started doing your five-steps process, and this is briefly what happened (I don't put tracking cookies, only the big ones):

a) AdAware found Bargain Buddy and Exact Search Bar.

b) Spybot found TagASaurus.

c) TrendMicro found TSPY_LDPINCH and DIALER_7ADPOWER.

d) BitDefender said it found soemthing like five viruses and other bad stuff, but the worrying thing is that it din't remove all the ones it found (I didn't see an option to save the log and post it here).

e) Panda found these, but they wanted money to remove them:

So, here is my HJT log, please help me I have very big problem...

Hello System Terror and Welcome to Tech Support,

I hate to have to ask you to run another scan since you have done so many but I would like to get more details about the infected items.

======
Kapersky

Now run this online scan using Internet Explorer:
Kaspersky Online Scanner from http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Next Click on Launch Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

• The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
• Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
• Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
• Standard
• Scan Options:
• Scan Archives
• Scan Mail Bases
• Click OK
• Now under select a target to scan:
• Select My Computer
• This will program will start and scan your system.
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
• Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
• Now click on the Save as Text button:
• Save the file to your desktop.

Please copy and paste that information from Kapersky in your next reply.

======
Combofix

1. Download this file - combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. 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

Please post the Kaperky information, ComboFix log, and a new hijackthis log.

[SystemTError]

Hello, Susan, and thanx for helping me.

Kaspersky does not work. In this same computer, Kaspersky also refused to work in the past (and I thought it had to do with that I have IE7... I don't know...): http://www.techsupportforum.com/611526-post4.html


The Combofix log is this:

Another thing in this computer is that I can not install Zone Alarm - it keeps saying that the True Vector can not start... Thanx again Susan, for your help!

[Susan528]

Your may need several replies to post the requested logs, otherwise they might get cut off.

[SystemTError]

First of all Susan (again thanx, btw) you didn't tell me where to find this AVG Anti-Spyware. Was this supposed to be already in my computer? Anyhow, I didn't know if this was wrong or not, but I searched the forum and I found a recent thread with instructions to download this AVG A-S and followed these instructions and I ran it as you told me. I had these problems:
- When I was in Safe Mode, the program screen was much bigger than my computer screen, and I couldn't change my computer screen resolution to fit more in there. So, I do not know if all checkboxes were ticked in these areas: How to scan & Possibly unwanted software. Is there a way to know if this program ran like it was supposed to do?
- For the tracking cookies I could not choose quarantine, only delete.
- At the end, you asked the Ewido log, not this AVG stuff. So I thought I have to download this Ewido also. I searched again the forum but in a recent thread I read Ewido is now owned by AVG and that they are pretty much the same thing, so I did not search any more for Ewido and here is the AVG A-S log:

[Susan528]

I apologize for not specifying the download site fore AVG anti-spyware. You handled the situation very well though in spite of my lack of directions.

Your hijackthis log looked clean. AVG anti-spyware did not show much. GMER did not detect any rootkits. Please tell me what kind of problems are you still experiencing?

Please run the following tests.

STEP 1.
======
PCPitStop

Please register (it's free, don't worry) with PCPitStop and run the full tests here.
When the tests are complete, a results page will pop up. Click "Share these results with TechExpress" on the left-hand side. Then copy the URL provided and post (reply) with it here for me.

[SystemTError]

This is the link for the pcpitstop results:
http://www.pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/S...4BFWELZZWSKG7J

So, Susan, you are saying that my computer is finally clean? (Yuppie!)

You asked for problems - the ones I know till now are these:
I cannot install ZoneAlarm (but I can try again)
I cannot download the non-beta Defender (I don't know why)
My local connection kept failing - but if I am clean now maybe this problem will stop.

Aah, maybe you need this for my Defender problem: I have Windows updates automatic and they work ok. But the Defender tells me there is a new version and I press the Download button but nothing happens.

[Susan528]

Hi SystemTerror,

I am saying that the logs I requested did not show anything. I am concerned about the ZoneAlarm problem but I wanted to see some results before trying to pursue that problem.

I found complaints about True Vector and Zone Alarm so I do not know if there is a problem with Zone Alarm or with your computer. I would try uninstalling Zone Alarm and then reinstalling it. The link below contains information and a file zfix.zip which will remove traces of Zone Alarm.
http://www.greenwood.iwarp.com/sgcomputer.html

I found references to the zfix.zip in the following threads:
http://www.castlecops.com/t155316-Ca...Zonealarm.html
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showtopic=81195

Please try this and let me know if your Zone Alarm problem is resolved.

[SystemTError]

I stopped caring for the Zone Alarm problem following this decision I took: to install Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0. So, I forgot about Zone Alarm, I uninstalled my CA AV and Windows Defender ( <- I had problems there, too), and installed Kaspersky instead.

By the way, when I opened Add/Remove Programs I noticed I had four Java things installed: it said J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 1, 5, 8 and 9. I thought this is not normal, so I uninstalled them all and then I went to java.com and installed the one they gave me there (it was the 9 version, actually).

When I ran the installed Kaspersky for the first time, it found Trojan Downloader.Win32.VB.fi in the System Restore, Bargain Buddy in C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\mail_msea115.exe//data0003//data0002 and //data0003, and Exploit HTML.Iframe.File Download (modification). I deleted them all.

My local network seems to work ok now. Please have a look at my fresh hjt log below and please tell me:
- Did I take the right decisions? Do you agree?
- Should I do something else, too?
- Do you see anything that shouldn't be in my hjt log, like remainings from the uninstalled programs?
- Am I clean now?

Thank you very much for your help!!!

Hi SystemTError,

Yes, I believe that you took the right steps.

Please do the following:

STEP 1.
======
System Restore for Windows XP
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)

1. Turn off System Restore.
2. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click the System Restore tab.
5. Check Turn off System Restore.
6. Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot.

Turn ON System Restore.

1. On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
5. Click Apply, and then click OK.

STEP 2.
======
DON’T BECOME OVERCONFIDENT WITH ANTIVIRUS APPLICATIONS INSTALLED!!!

http://forum.malwareremoval.com/view...9eba6ea0b5e8ee

Stay up to date on security patches and be extremely wary of clicking on links and attachments that arrive unbidden in instant messages and e-mail.

"The number one thing the majority of the malicious code we're seeing now does is disable or delete anti-virus and other security software," Dunham said. "In a lot of cases, once the user clicks on that attachment, it's already too late."

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

1. Update your AntiVirus Software - 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.
   
   
2. Visit Microsoft's Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit Windows Updates regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
   
   
3. Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program 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:
   Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
   
   
4. Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
   A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
   Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
   
   
5. Updating Java
   • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10.
   • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
   • Click the "Download" button to the right.
   • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
   • The page will refresh.
   • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
   • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
   • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
   • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
   • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
   • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
   • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
   • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-1_5_0_10-windowsi586-p.exe to install the newest version.
6. 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.
   
   
7. More info on how to prevent malware you can also find here (By Tony Klein)
   
   

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

Susan

[SystemTError]

Hello Susan and thank you one more time for helping me clean my computer.

1. I reset the System Restore.

2. I have my Kaspesrky antivirus setting to update automatically - I hope this is OK.

3. I have my Windows Update setting to automatic - I hope this is OK too. I also checked manually to be sure, and it said there are no other updates for me.

4. I saw what you said about AdAware, but I believe I have it already installed. Updated that, also.

5. I installed Spyware Blaster like you told me and updated and now it is running.

6. About Java, I followed the link you gave me, but it didn't take me to the 10 Update for 5 JRE - it took me to 6 JRE (and some other stuff for developers), so I thought version six must be better than five, and I uninstalled my old Java and I installed the six instead.

7. Sorry that I repeat the same question, but I am still concerned if I have done the right steps in the right way or not. I don't know of course how to read the hjt log, but it mentions somewhere Zone Alarm (I thought I had taken that away), and in other places it says "file missing". Are all these ok?

Thank you very much again Susan.

[Susan528]

Since you do not use Zone Alarm anymore, let's try this.

Go to Control Panel =>Add Remove programs and select Zone Alarm to uninstall or remove if it is present.

Disable TeaTimer:
Please disable TeaTimer as it may hinder the removal of some entries. You can re-enable it after you're clean.To disable TeaTimer:

• Run Spybot-S&D
• Go to the Mode menu , and make sure "Advanced Mode " is selected
• On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
• Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer " and OK any prompts
• Restart your computer.

After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable TeaTimer again.

Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

Scan with HijackThis. Place a check against each of the following:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Zone Labs Client] "D:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zlclient.exe"
Close all windows or browsers except for Hijackthis. Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:
D:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\<=folder
Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

Try this with the Java- they keep updating the Java downloads on the Sun site!

Updating Java

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.0.
• Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
• Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
• The page will refresh.
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
• Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6-windows-i586.exe to install the newest version.

Post (reply) with a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.

Don't worry about the "file missing".

[SystemTError]

Hello, Susan, and thanks one more time. I did what you told me for Zone Alarm (I didn't find no folder, though). The JRE 6.0 I had already installed like you said (see my bullet number 6 in previous answer). Here is the new hjt log:

1. Update your AntiVirus Software - 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.
   
   
2. Visit Microsoft's Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit Windows Updates regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
   
   
3. Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program 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:

4. Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

5. 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.
