[SOLVED] bugs on screen / ctfmona? / trojan horse

[pdundas]

A friend's PC got an infestation of bugs crawling on the screen (Win XP, SP2), and AVG reported a Trojan. Even after running AVG in safe mode the bugs and the trojan warning persist. He wrote on a piece of paper that it was called "Trojan horse generic_c.NTK" . An earlier run of DSS mentioned ctfmona.exe as a recently added file (though it seems to have gone from that list in the report below).

Today AVG also reported "Trojan horse Patched_c.PS" (in system vlume information\_restore.... so it may be an old problem).

Installed various anti-malware as in steps 1-5; machine was already using windows update; ran DSS and here is the result (there was no extra.txt file that I could find).

The bugs are still crawling around on screen (caused by blackster.scr?) - what do we need to do th clean the machine?

thanks
Paul

Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.

Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly :D

I apologize for the delay in responding, but as you can probably see the forums are quite busy.
Unfortunately there are far more people needing help than there are helpers.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was stuck up a mountain. No, really :-)

And thanks for the help. I've got back to the PC, installed the recovery console, and run combofix. The combofix log is below. I'll add HijackThis next.

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - (no file)

- Close ALL open windows (especially Internet Explorer!)-
Now click Fix checked
Click yes to any prompts
Close HijackThis


Delete Files and Folders
Find and delete the following Files if present

C:\WINDOWS\system32\blackster.scr << This file

Kaspersky Online Scanner .
Your Antivirus and/or Antispyware may give a warning during the scan. This is perfectly normal
NOTE:- This scan is best done from IE (Internet Explorer)
Go Here http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/par...avwebscan.html

Read the Requirements and limitations before you click Accept.
Allow the ActiveX download if necessary
Once the database has downloaded, click Next.
Click Scan Settings and change the "Scan using the following antivirus database" from standard to extended and then click OK.
Click on "My Computer" and then put the kettle on!
When the scan has completed, click Save Report As...
Enter a name for the file in the Filename: text box and then click the down arrow to the right of Save as type: and select text file (*.txt)
Click Save - by default the file will be saved to your Desktop, but you can change this if you wish.


**Note**

To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:

• Close any open programs.
• Turn off the real-time scanner of all antivirus or antispyware programs while performing the online scan.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.

Note that the Kapersky instructions seem to be slightly out of date for curent version (7) of the scanner. I could not find a setting for "scan using the following av database" (standard/extended). Instead there were specific types of things to scan for, with tick boxes. Well, either it's out of date, or I was doing something colossally wrong!

Congratulations your logs look clean

Let's see if I can help you keep it that way

First lets tidy up

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /U, it needs to be there.
  • 

Please delete the following if still present

• C:\Deckard

Delete any logs we have produced and empty your Recycle bin



The following is some info to help you stay safe and clean.
( Vista users must ensure that any programs are Vista compatible BEFORE installing )

You may already have some of the following programs, but I include the full list for the benefit of all the other people who will be reading this thread in the future.

Online Scanners
I would recommend a scan at one or more of the following sites at least once a month.

!!! Make sure that all your programs are updated !!!
Secunia Software Inspector does all the work for you, .... see HERE for details

AntiSpyware

• AntiSpyware is not the same thing as Antivirus.
  Different AntiSpyware programs detect different things, so in this case it is recommended that you have more than one.
  You should only have one running all the time, the other/s should be used "on demand" on a regular basis.
  Most of the programs in this list have a free (for Home Users ) and paid versions,
  it is worth paying for one and having "realtime" protection, unless you intend to do a manual scan often.
• Spybot - Search & Destroy <<< A must have program
  • It includes host protection and registry protection
  • A hosts file is a bit like a phone book, it points to the actual numeric address (i.e. the IP address) from the human friendly name of a website. This feature can be used to block malicious websites
• MalwareBytes Anti-malware <<< A New and effective program
• a-squared Free <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
• superantispyware <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner

Prevention

• These programs don't detect malware, they help stop it getting on your machine in the first place.
  Each does a different job, so you can have more than one
• Winpatrol
  • An excellent startup manager and then some !!
  • Notifies you if programs are added to startup
  • Allows delayed startup
  • A must have addition
• SpywareBlaster 4.0
  • SpywareBlaster sets killbits in the registry to prevent known malicious activex controls from installing themselves on your computer.
• SpywareGuard 2.2
  • SpywareGuard provides real-time protection against spyware.
  • Not required if you have other "realtime" antispyware or Winpatrol
• ZonedOut
  • Formerly known as IE-SPYAD, adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers and marketers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer.
• MVPS HOSTS
  • This little program packs a powerful punch as it blocks ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
  • For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by WinHelp2002.
  • Not required if you are using other host file protections

Internet Browsers

• Microsoft has worked hard to make IE.7 a more secure browser, unfortunately whilst it is still the leading browser of choice it will always be under attack from the bad guys.
  Using a different web browser can help stop malware getting on your machine.
  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    2. Click once on the Security tab
    3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
       • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
       • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
       • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
       • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
       • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
       • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
       • When all these settings 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.
    5. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  If you are still using IE6 then either update, or get one of the following.
  • FireFox
    • With many addons available that make customization easy this is a very popular choice
    • NoScript and AdBlockPlus addons are essential
  • Opera
    • Another popular alternative
  • Netscape
    • Another popular alternative
    • Also has Addons available

Cleaning Temporary Internet Files and Tracking Cookies

• Temporary Internet Files are mainly the files that are downloaded when you open a web page.
  Unfortunately, if the site you visit is of a dubious nature or has been hacked, they can also be an entry point for malware.
  It is a good idea to empty the Temporary Internet Files folder on a regular basis.
  
  Tracking Cookies are files that websites use to monitor which sites you visit and how often.
  A lot of Antispyware scanners pick up these tracking cookies and flag them as unwanted.
  CAUTION :- If you delete all your cookies you will lose any autologin information for sites that you visit, and will need your passwords
  
  Both of these can be cleaned manually, but a quicker option is to use a program
• ATF Cleaner
  • Free and very simple to use
• CCleaner
  • Free and very flexible, you can chose which cookies to keep

Also PLEASE read this article.....So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place

The last and most important thing I can tell you is UPDATE.
If you don't update your security programs (Antivirus, Antispyware even Windows) then you are at risk.
Malware changes on a day to day basis. You should update every week at the very least.

If you follow this advice then (with a bit of luck) you will never have to hear from me again


If you could post back one more time to let me know everything is OK, then I can have this thread archived.

Happy surfing K'

Thanks for the help, Katana. Jim was on holiday for a bit, and then life got busy, so I have not been able to do the final tidy up. I'll go through your advice with him - hopefully later this week.

Thanks again!
