Suspected Trojan / Spyware

[nochafets]

Hi,

I've recently been having some suspicious and very annoying activity on my PC (I'm running Windows XP, sp3). I'm running winpatrol, which keeps alerting me about attempts to add a startup entry called "tufolili.dll,a." I also keep getting warnings from COMODO firewall about various files and registry entries, among them "tufolili.dll." I can get more suspicious file names if you need them, as they pop up periodically.

My computer is also running more slowly and I'm periodically getting pop-up windows with advertisements (ACAI-diet-related, from Amazon.com, for anti-virus software, etc. - I just got one while I was typing this from http://www.thefutoncritic.com/tvnews.html) that look like Firefox windows, although the icon for these windows in the taskbar appears to be a slightly off imitation of the Firefox icon.

I'm not attaching a gmer log because gmer keeps giving me error messages when I run a scan (along the lines of "gmer can't open file [or directory] X at the moment because it is being used by another process"). But I have DSS logs and a hijackthis log, if you need it.

Thanks,
Noah

Update:

AVG Anti-virus keeps giving me the following messages about the following files

C:\\WINDOWS\system32\tufolili.dll - Virus identified Win32/Cryptor - Process name: C:\\WINDOWS\system32\imapi.exe

Latest update -

I have run 2 programs recommended by another website since I last posted: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and SUPER Anti-spyware.

I'm no longer getting persistent attempts to register tufolili.dll,a as a startup item. The pop-up windows have also stopped. And my computer seems to be running at a normal speed.

But AVG is still picking up an infection that it does not seem to be able to fix. It describes the infection as a virus called "Win32/Cryptor" and says that the infected file is C:\System Volume Information\_restore{B970A531-5DE6-4045-986D-CB9E1BCC3425}\RP669\A0360766.exe.

Thanks,

Hello.

What AVG detected is a system restore point. We can deal with that problem later once we are done and flush the system restore points.

Hi again,

Virus Total Online Scanner found no malware.

I also ran MBAM, which found 2 infected files - the logfile is below.

The computer seems to be running fine now.

Thanks again for your help.

I see an AVG7 startup key which we will remove near the end. It's not malicious though, but it's a leftover.

Let's update Java and run an online scan.

Update Java to Version 6 Update 16

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:

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6 and save it to your desktop.
• Look for "Java Runtime Environment (JRE)" JRE 6 Update 16.
• Click the Download button to the right.
• Select your Platform: "Windows".
• Select your Language: "Multi-language".
• Read the License Agreement, and then check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
• Click Continue and the page will refresh.
• Under Required Files, check the box for Windows Offline Installation, click the link below it and save the file to your desktop.
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.

Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.

• Check (highlight) any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button and follow the onscreen instructions for the Java uninstaller.
• 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-6u16-windows-i586.exe to install the newest version.

-- If using Windows Vista and the installer refuses to launch due to insufficient user permissions, then Run As Administrator.
-- If you choose to update via the Java applet in Control Panel, uncheck the option to install the Toolbar unless you want it.
-- The uninstaller incorporated in this release removes previous Updates 10 and above, but does not remove older versions, so they still need to be removed manually.

Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click Ok and reboot your computer.

Run ESET Online Scan

1. Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
   ESET OnlineScan
2. Click the button.
3. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
   1. Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
   2. Double click on the icon on your desktop.
4. Check
5. Click the button.
6. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
7. Check
8. Push the Start button.
9. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
10. When the scan completes, push
11. Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
12. Push the button.
13. Push

You can refer to this animation by neomage if needed.

Take a new DDS run afterward and post back with both the DDS and Attach logs in your next reply.

Thanks.

Hi again,

I updated Java runtime environment (to version 6, update 17) and ran the ESET online scan - it found no threats, and so left behind no log.

I've attached the new DDS logs.

Thanks again,
Noah

Hello.

That looks good.

Let's remove that AVG7 run key.

Download and Run OTM

1. Please download OTM by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.
2. Double click the icon on your desktop If you are running on Vista, right click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
3. Paste the following code under the [acronym=Paste Fix Here][/acronym] area. Do not include the word "Code".
   

   :reg
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "AVG7_CC"=-
   :commands
   [EmptyTemp]

4. Click the large [acronym=MoveIt][/acronym] button.
5. If OTM requires are reboot, please allow it to do so.
6. Copy/Paste the contents under the [acronym=Results][/acronym] line here in your next reply.

Note: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.

If it's removed then we can wrap up next post. Looks good. :)

I've run OTM and the results (from the log file) are below.

OTM by OldTimer - Version 3.0.0.6 log created on 11092009_160213

[extremeboy]

Okay. That's fine. Should of been deleted successfully as reported.

Let's wrap up then. :)

Let's cleanup our mess and remove the tools we have used.

Please follow/read the steps below to remove the tools we used and for some more information. :)

Uninstall ComboFix

Remove Combofix now that we're done with it.

• Please press the Windows Key and R on your keyboard. This will bring up the Run... command.
• Now type in Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. (Notice the space between the "x" and "/")
  
• Please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
• You will then recieve a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully once it's done uninstalling itself.

This will uninstall Combofix and anything assoicated with it.

Download and Run OTC

We will now remove the tools we used during this fix using OTC.

• Download OTC by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.
• Double click icon to start the program. If you are using Vista, please right-click and choose run as administrator
• Then Click the big button.
• You will get a prompt saying "Being Cleanup Process". Please select Yes.
• Restart your computer when prompted.

System A bit Slow? Try StartupLight

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 this thread (PC running slow...?)



Congratulations! You now appear clean!

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

Preventing Infections in the Future

Please also have a look at the following links, giving some advice and Tips to protect yourself against malware and reduce the potential for re-infection:

• So How did I get infected?
• Miekies' prevention suggestions
• Hardening Windows Security - Part 1 & Part 2.

• Avoid gaming sites, underground web pages, pirated software sites, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. They are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to a smörgåsbord of malware infections, remote attacks, exposure of personal information, and identity theft. Many malicious worms and Trojans spread across P2P file sharing networks, gaming and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and Flash ads that install viruses, Trojans and spyware. Ads are a target for hackers because they offer a stealthy way to distribute malware to a wide range of Internet users.

Vist the WindowsUpdate Site Regularly

I recommend you regularly visit the Windows Update Site!

• Lots of Hacking/Trojans use the methods found (plugged by the updates) that have not been stopped by people not updating.
• Update ALL Critical updates and any other Windows updates for services/programs that you use.
• If you wish to turn on automatic updates then you will find here is a nice little article about turning on automatic updates.
• Note that it will download them for you, but you still have to actually click install.

Update Non-Microsoft Programs

It is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications that are regularly patched to fix vulnerabilities. You can check these by visiting Secunia Software Inspector and Calendar of Updates.

Update all programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs you have installed 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.
Finally, and definitely the MOST IMPORTANT step, click on the following tutorial and follow each step listed there:
