Multiple Virtumonde Infections - Logs Attached

[Harvey1]

Unfortunately Virtumonde got past my McAfee, and I can not remove it with Spybot S&D. I did manage to remove some other malware/adware. However, I still have Virtumonde, Virtumonde.generic, and Virtumonde.sci.

I have had a few pop-ups but not many. The main symptom is overall slow performance. Also, the Windows Security Alert icon has appeared, and I can not enable automatic updates.

My logs are below. Thank you in advance. I appreciate your help.

[Billy O'Neal]

Hello, Harvey1
Welcome to TSF

My name is Billy O'Neal and I will be helping you. (Billy or Bill is fine, if you like.)
Please give me some time to look over your computer's log(s).
Please take note of the following:

• In the meantime, please refrain from making any changes to your computer.
• Also, even if things appear to be running better, there is no guarantee that everything is finished. Please continue to check this forum post in order to ensure we get your system completely clean. We do not want to clean you part-way up, only to have the system re-infect itself. :)
• If you do not understand any step(s) provided, please do not hesitate to ask before continuing. I would much rather clarify instructions or explain them differently than have something important broken.
• Finally, please reply using the button in the lower left hand corner of your screen.
• Old topics are closed after 3 days with no reply, and working topics are closed after 5 days. If for any reason you cannot complete instructions within that time, that's fine, just put a post here so that I know you're still here. We get a lot of people who simply leave, and if there is no contact for that amount of time I will have to assume you have "vanished" .

We will begin with ComboFix.exe. Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix

* Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

In your next reply, please include the following:

• ComboFix.txt

[Billy O'Neal]

Hello, Harvey1
We need to re-run ComboFix with some additonal directives.

1. Please disable any running anti-virus programs.

   If you are unsure how to do this, see this topic: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html

2. Close any open browsers.
3. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
4. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
   

   file::
   c:\windows\SYSTEM32\cetkqwsb.ini
   c:\windows\SYSTEM32\wwmsxacn.ini
   c:\windows\SYSTEM32\svdawxgb.ini

5. Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe
6. 
   Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
7. When finished, it shall produce a log for you at "C:\ComboFix.txt". Please copy and paste that report here.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to exploit and infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update:

1. Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6 and save it to your desktop.
2. Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE)6 Update 11...allows end-users to run Java applications".
3. Click the "Download" button to the right.
4. Select your Platform: "Windows" (OR if you are on a x64 system, "Windows x64")
5. Select your Language: "Multi-Language".
6. Read the License Agreement, and then check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
7. Click Continue and the page will refresh.
8. Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save the file to your desktop.
9. Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
10. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs (Or "Uninstall a Program" on Vista) and remove all older versions of Java.
11. Check (highlight) any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
12. Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
13. Follow the onscreen instructions for the Java uninstaller.
14. Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
15. Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
16. Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u10-windows-i586-p.exe (Or jre-6u10-windows-x64.exe for x64 systems)
17. Follow the on screen instructions to install the latest Java version.

I would like us to use ESET (NOD32)'s Online Scanner

1. Please go to ESET OnlineScan (NOD32)
2. You will then see the Terms of Use, tick the check-box infront of YES, I accept the Terms of Use
3. Now click Start
4. Should you face a Security Warning that asks if you want to install and run a file called "OnlineScanner.cab", click Yes
5. Click Start
   • Note: (the Onlinescanner will now prepare itself for running on your pc)
6. To do a full-scan, tick: "Remove found threats" and "Scan potentially unwanted applications"
7. Press Scan
8. The Onlinescan will now start and scan your pc (this could take a while)
9. When the scan has finished, it will show a screen with two tabs "overview" and "details" and the option to get information or buy software, just close the window
10. Click Start >> Run... >> type: C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
11. The Scanresults will now open in Notepad
12. Click into the text area, right-click and chose "select all" (or use <Control>+A)
13. Right-click again and chose "Copy" (or <Control>+C)
14. Close/Exit Notepad
15. Navigate to this thread and post your log along with anything else requested from us, by right-clicking and "paste" (or ctrl+v) in the text area of the reply post you just created.

Note: For Vista Users: Eset is compatible but Internet Explorer must be run as Administrator. To do this, right-click on the IE icon in the Start Menu or Quick Launch Bar on the Taskbar and select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.)

In your next reply, please include the following:

• ComboFix.txt
• ESET OnlineScan's Log

[Harvey1]

By ComboFix log is below. However, I did not see any old Java in the control panel. Would this vary from account to account on my computer? Also, when I tried to download JRE9 U11 it stalled each time at 6%, started over, and never got past that mark. I'm not sure what the problem is. Once I figure this out, I will complete the second scan. Thanks for your help.

Hello, Harvey1
I'm sorry... it appears your java is up to date. Typo on my part.

Go ahead and run the ESET scan :)

BillyIII

[Harvey1]

I am running the ESET scan now and I believe it is almost done (its been running for a while now).

However, my McAfee opened a window alerting me of a potentially unwanted program several times in a row. It said it was Tool-NirCmd. I dont know if this was related to the scan, but I had McAfee remove it. Not sure what it was or where it came from so I thought I'd bring that to your attention. Overall things seem to be running smoother, but it looks like the current scan is picking up some things. Thanks for your help.

[Billy O'Neal]

That's a part of CF. One of the reasons we have A/V programs disabled before we begin.

For more info on NirCmd, see here:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

[Harvey1]

Oh, I figured since the ESET scan was online, it would be fine to keep McAfee turned on. Here is my log:

Hello, Harvey1
Congratulations! You now appear clean!

Are things running okay? Do you have any more questions?

System Still Slow?
You may wish to try StartupLite. Simply download this tool to your desktop and run it. It will explain any optional auto-start programs on your system, and offer the option to stop these programs from starting at startup. This will result in fewer programs running when you boot your system, and should improve preformance.
If that does not work, you can try the steps mentioned in Slow Computer/browser? Check Here First; It May Not Be Malware
We Need to Remove ComboFix

1. Please go to Start -> Run
2. Enter "ComboFix /u" (without quotes). Note the space betwen "ComboFix" and "/u", it needs to be there.
   
3. Press OK (Or hit enter).
4. Allow ComboFix to remove itself.

We Need to Clean Up Our Mess

1. Please download OTCleanIt from one of the following mirrors and save it to your desktop:
   • Mirror 1
   • Mirror A
2. Double click the icon.
3. Push the large "Cleanup" button.
4. Allow your system to reboot.

Recommendations
Below are some recommendations to lower your chances of (re)infection.

1. Install Spyware Blaster and update it regularly
   If you wish, the commercial version provides automatic updating.
2. Install the MVPs hosts file, and update it regularly
   You can use the HostMan host file manager to do this automaticly if you wish.
   For more information on the hosts file, and what it can do for you, you can view the Tutorial on the Hosts file
3. Install an Anti-Spyware program, and update it regularly
   Malware Byte's Anti Malware is an excellent Anti-Spyware scanner. It's scan times are usually under ten minutes, and has excellent detection and removal rates.
   SUPERAntiSpyware is another good scanner with high detection and removal rates.
   Both programs are free for non commercial home use but provide a resident and do not nag if you purchase the paid versions.
4. Keep Windows (and your other Microsoft software) up to date!
   I cannot stress how important this is enough. Often holes are found in Internet Explorer or Windows itself that require patching. Sometimes these holes will allow an attacker unrestricted access to your computer.
   
   If you are using Windows XP or earlier
   Visit the Microsoft Update Website and follow the on screen instructions to setup Microsoft Update. Also follow the instructions to update your system. Please REBOOT and repeat this process until there are no more updates to install!!
   
   If you are using Windows Vista
   1. Click the "Start Menu" (or Windows Orb)
   2. Click "All Programs"
   3. Click "Windows Update"
   4. On the left, choose "Change Settings"
   5. Ensure that the checkbox "Use Microsoft Update" at the bottom of the window is checked.
   6. Press OK and accept the UAC prompt.
      Note: You shouldn't need to check this checkbox every single time you update, only the first time.
   7. Click "Check for Updates" in the upper left corner.
   8. Follow the instructions to install the latest updates.
   9. Reboot and repeat the "Check for Updates" until there are no more critical updates to install
5. Keep your other software up to date as well
   Software does not need to be made by Microsoft to be insecure. You can use the Secunia Online Software occasionally to help you check for out of date software on your machine.
6. Stay up to date!
   The MOST IMPORTANT part of any security setup is keeping the software up to date. Malware writers release new variants every single day. If your software updates don't keep up, then the malware will always be one step ahead. Not a good thing :(.

Thanks for your help. I am working on cleaning up that stuff now. Obviously the virtumonde got past my McAfee. Will the recommended programs above catch it? Also, can those be installed along with McAfee?

Thanks again for you help. I appreciate it.

[Billy O'Neal]

MbAM should do a decent job of dealing with Virtumonde.

Glad I was able to help :)

Alright thanks.
One last question if you dont mind...
I downloaded that and ran a quick scan and it came up with two Malware.Trace Registry Keys. I dont know what these are but should I have the program remove them?

[Billy O'Neal]

Does it list what they are?

They're probably leftovers safe to remove....
