Hijackthis Help. Trojans, and Popups

nicoantique · 12-04-2008, 03:16 PM

Hey. Thanks for your help! I'm sure I started having problems after downloading a bittorrent off Limewire. I have uninstalled Limewire and the bittorrent but I'm still experiencing trojans and 2 blank windows explorer popups coming up when I navigate to any new internet page. I ran spywaredoctor before knowing about hijackthis and it came up with

1: Trojan-Downloader .Agent!sd6 in C:\System Volume Information\_restore(46DE8921-1D39-44D2-A9E9-64119261F211)\RP250\A0027676.exe
2: Trojan-Downloader .Agent!sd6 in C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicyManifest\2.crack.zip
3: Trojan-Downloader .Agent!sd6 in C:WINDOWS\System32\devmgr32.dll

Also I noticed a decrease in overall speed. Sounds crazy, but sometimes over the last day it seems like someone else is controlling my mouse and keyboard! Interesting note...I had to use another uninfected computer to post this, as the infected one would not let me. The login screen for the forum just kept coming up! Thanks again for your help!

Using Internet Explorer, visit http://www.kaspersky.com/service?chapter=161739400

Vista users right click on the Internet Explorer shortcut, and choose Run As Administrator.

**Note**

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

Close any open programs
Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan.

Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.

Click Run at the Security prompt.
The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.
Please be patient as this can take several minutes.
Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
Click View scan report at the bottom.
Click the Save Report As... button.
Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply.

My laptop is rockin thanks to you! You Rock! Everything is 10 times faster, processing,browsing,applications. No more popup windows and 3 internet explorers running in the background all the time. I doesn't seem hijacked anymore!
One small note though...I had to manually shut it down after running thr first Combofix...everything just stopped for 20 minutes when the message, "windows will reboot,please wait". I figured something froze, which it did. I shut it down manually and redropped the copypaste notepad into combofix. Ran it again and it restarted windows and produced a log no problem. Thanks again. Let me know if there is anything else I should do besides staying off Limewire:)

Here's the logs:

Your system is now clean. Kindly follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Uninstall ComboFix ... do not skip this step
This process will perform some post cleanup measures.
Do this by going to to Start > Run & typing in ComboFix /u
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.
Microsoft Windows Update ? http://www.windowsupdate.com
Visit 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.
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 ? http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial49.html

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.

http://www.trillian.cc ? Trillian or http://www.miranda-im.com ? 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)
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - 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.

http://www.aumha.org/downloads/erunt-setup.exe - 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.

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 - http://computercops.biz/postlite7736-.html

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.

Kindly respond to this thread once more so we can mark this thread as resolved.

Trojans, and Popups Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix Download & save ComboFix to your Desktop but don't run it yet Open NOTEPAD and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it: Code: http://www.techsupportforum.com/security-center/hijackthis-log-help/320218-hijackthis-help-trojans-popups.html File:: c:\windows\system32\28.tmp c:\windows\system32\10.tmp c:\windows\system32\53.tmp c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy000.dat c:\windows\system32\2.tmp Collect:: c:\windows\system32\devmgr32.dll Folder:: c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicyManifest Save this as "CFScript" Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe When finished, it shall produce a log for you, C:\ComboFix.txt. ------------ Using Internet Explorer, visit http://www.kaspersky.com/service?chapter=161739400 Vista users right click on the Internet Explorer shortcut, and choose Run As Administrator. Note To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review: Close any open programs Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions. Click Run at the Security prompt. The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database. Please be patient as this can take several minutes. Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan. Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it. Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined. Click View scan report at the bottom. Click the Save Report As... button. Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply. --------------- In your next post, please include logs from: Online scan ComboFix's log Please provide details of any problems you encountered whilst performing the above steps & update us on how the computer behaves now

Everything is 10 times faster, processing,browsing,applications. No more popup windows and 3 internet explorers running in the background all the time. I doesn't seem hijacked anymore! One small note though...I had to manually shut it down after running thr first Combofix...everything just stopped for 20 minutes when the message, "windows will reboot,please wait". I figured something froze, which it did. I shut it down manually and redropped the copypaste notepad into combofix. Ran it again and it restarted windows and produced a log no problem. Thanks again. Let me know if there is anything else I should do besides staying off Limewire:) Here's the logs: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KASPERSKY ONLINE SCANNER 7 REPORT Monday, December 8, 2008 Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600) Kaspersky Online Scanner 7 version: 7.0.25.0 Program database last update: Monday, December 08, 2008 18:11:41 Records in database: 1444306 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scan settings: Scan using the following database: extended Scan archives: yes Scan mail databases: yes Scan area - My Computer: C:\ D:\ Scan statistics: Files scanned: 55719 Threat name: 2 Infected objects: 9 Suspicious objects: 0 Duration of the scan: 01:05:08 File name / Threat name / Threats count C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicyManifest\2.crack.zip.vir Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.aseo 1 C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicyManifest\3.video.zip.vir Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.aseo 1 C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicyManifest\4.setup.zip.vir Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.aseo 1 C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicyManifest\5.unpack.zip.vir Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.aseo 1 C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicyManifest\6.limepro.zip.vir Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.aseo 1 C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicyManifest\7.keygen.zip.vir Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.aseo 1 C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\_devmgr32_.dll.zip Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.arsg 2 C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\[4]-Submit_2008-12-08@14.47.zip Infected: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.arsg 1 The selected area was scanned.
