Only Affecting attempts to fix

Kibure · 12-05-2008, 03:59 PM

My boss brought me his personal computer. Someone had convinced him to download "Antivirus 2009" on it. It has been preventing me from running Malwarebytes (which I read can remove it) or updating any of the scanner/virus programs. I booted in safe mode and ran AVG. My boss thinks I fixed it, for most purposes it runs ok. However when you search for spyware programs, antivirus updates, or try to go to the main webpages to download updates you get redirected to a trash advertisement page. I even went to Download.com and tried to get Hijackthis from there and when the download started it canceled it and redirected the browser to a trash page. Instead I was able to download Hijackthis onto my laptop and transfer it via media key. I ran it and below is the log. I tried running gmer and the other program you ask for logs from, but even transferring from my media key the programs won't run. Thanks for your time.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

Kibure · 12-11-2008, 06:24 PM

Cannot get the computer to run combo fix. I think it might be time to wipe and reinstall. At this point I can't seem even get it into Safe Mode. Going to make one last attempt with a boot disk to see if I can make it behave well enough to run the programs.

Kibure · 12-11-2008, 09:32 PM

After several hours of fussing with it, I was able to get the programs suggested to run.

Hi,

Did you intentionally change your startup page to: http://www.albany-inn.com/ ?

*I see you have Viewpoint installed...
Viewpoint related software are considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This will change from what we know in 2006 read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546
I suggest you remove the program now. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.

Viewpoint
Viewpoint Manager
Viewpoint Media Player

*Open notepad.
Copy and paste the text inside the code box below to notepad

Code:

Folder::
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\CrucialSoft Ltd\MS AntiSpyware 2009

FCopy::
c:\windows\system32\stu2.exe | C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe
Skipfix::

Save and Name it as "CFScript"
Drag and drop CFScript.txt to your copy of combofix.
You can take a look at the image below if you're unsure on how to do it.
Combofix wil restart your machine then it will produce a log afterwards.
Please post the contents of that log.

*Your version of Java is outdated and needs to be updated to take advantage of fixes that have eliminated security vulnerabilities.

For language, select your language
Read the License agreement and then Check the box that says: "I agree to the Java SE Runtime Environment 6 License Agreement".

Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation 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-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.

After the install is complete, go into the Control Panel (using Classic View) and double-click the Java Icon. (looks like a coffee cup)

On the General tab, under Temporary Internet Files, click the Settings button.
Next, click on the Delete Files button
There are two options in the window to clear the cache - Leave BOTH Checked

Click OK to leave the Temporary Files Window
Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.

*Next, it's important to run this online scan to search for any remnants. It can take some time, so please be patient and allow it to run it's full course:

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/par...avwebscan.html

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

2. 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

3. 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.

Edit: About the "Albany Inn" thing, this used to be my boss' business computer, however it has since been retired to his children when he upgraded to a better model. It's an indian family, they don't mess with much but the youngest got the Antivirus 2009 problem on there in the first place. They are different in the way they do things, instead of changing the home page they made a link on the desktop to google and click on that.

Hi,

Did you decide to keep viewpoint?

What kaspersky found were files inside combofix's quarantine so no need to worry about them.

Since you ran the kaspersky scan first, it found one file which combofix deleted when you ran it.

delete this file: c:\windows\system32\stu2.exe

let me know hows your computer running.

Kibure · 12-14-2008, 11:54 AM

I am doing this in the middle of a ton of other things (bosses seem to think that you can multi-task about 100 things at a time) thank you for the reminder about the viewpoint. The computer seems to be just fine now, the anti-virus and spy ware programs are updating just fine, and the pop ups have disappeared. Thanks so much for all the help!

Tell me about it..

Click start > run > copy and paste:

combofix /u

That will hide your system files, clear your system restore cache and uninstall combofix.

Note: Make sure you update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.

Please check out Tony Klein's article "How did I get infected in the first place?"

And miekiemoes' "How to Prevent Malware"

Happy safe surfing!

Note: Please reply to this thread one last time so I could mark it as resolved.

I shall educate his children. Hopefully this is a mess that will not repeat itself. Thank you so much again! Everything is running beautifully.

Kibure Registered User Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 8 OS: XP Home	Only Affecting attempts to fix My boss brought me his personal computer. Someone had convinced him to download "Antivirus 2009" on it. It has been preventing me from running Malwarebytes (which I read can remove it) or updating any of the scanner/virus programs. I booted in safe mode and ran AVG. My boss thinks I fixed it, for most purposes it runs ok. However when you search for spyware programs, antivirus updates, or try to go to the main webpages to download updates you get redirected to a trash advertisement page. I even went to Download.com and tried to get Hijackthis from there and when the download started it canceled it and redirected the browser to a trash page. Instead I was able to download Hijackthis onto my laptop and transfer it via media key. I ran it and below is the log. I tried running gmer and the other program you ask for logs from, but even transferring from my media key the programs won't run. Thanks for your time.

At this point I can't seem even get it into Safe Mode. Going to make one last attempt with a boot disk to see if I can make it behave well enough to run the programs.

I see you have Viewpoint installed... Viewpoint related software* are considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This will change from what we know in 2006 read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546 I suggest you remove the program now. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present. Viewpoint Viewpoint Manager Viewpoint Media Player Open notepad. Copy and paste the text inside the code box below to notepad* Code: Folder:: c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\CrucialSoft Ltd\MS AntiSpyware 2009 Registry:: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "MS AntiSpyware 2009"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\security center] "AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000000 [HKLM\~\services\sharedaccess\parameters\firewallpolicy\standardprofile\AuthorizedApplications\List] "c:\\Program Files\\LimeWire\\LimeWire.exe"=- FCopy:: c:\windows\system32\stu2.exe \| C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe Skipfix:: Save and Name it as "CFScript" Drag and drop CFScript.txt to your copy of combofix. You can take a look at the image below if you're unsure on how to do it. Combofix wil restart your machine then it will produce a log afterwards. Please post the contents of that log.

It's an indian family, they don't mess with much but the youngest got the Antivirus 2009 problem on there in the first place. They are different in the way they do things, instead of changing the home page they made a link on the desktop to google and click on that.

What kaspersky found were files inside combofix's quarantine so no need to worry about them. Since you ran the kaspersky scan first, it found one file which combofix deleted when you ran it. delete this file: c:\windows\system32\stu2.exe let me know hows your computer running. __________________ UNITE and ASAP since 2006 If we have helped you, please consider donating.

The computer seems to be just fine now, the anti-virus and spy ware programs are updating just fine, and the pop ups have disappeared. Thanks so much for all the help!
