Question TROJ_DELF.AR and TROJ_STUBBY.D help?

Hi!

I completely understand if this takes a while... or doesn't even get a reply, but I thought I'd try anyway. I can't believe how busy you guys must be!

So basically (because I can only deal with basics. I don't even know if I've done all this right) -

I ran PC-cillin and it has identified and quarantined (but not cleaned):
* Troj_delf.ar
* Satmat.exe

And ad-aware found TROJ_STUBBY.D

We've been trouble with the computer for a while. Symptoms include:
* The desktop just not loading. We can still access programs through the task manager but the start bar + icons just don't show. My dad fixe this through a system restore point when he gets sick of it. Thing is - when the desktop doesn't load a lot of our other problems just don't happen like they usually do. So it's swapping for one evil over another in a way.

The other weird issues include:
* Accessing programs slowly. Programs run slowly.
* Power DVD - used to play dvds - doesn't work correctly. Slow to open and dvds 'jump' when played if that makes sense.
* Just recently I was trying to run a pcgame and the window kept minimizing after 15min. Not sure if this is really a symptom or what it was.
* At one point I couldn't access windows explorer at all but that somehow fixed itself?
* All the 'favourites' listed in Mozilla Firefox keep randomly being deleted. This has happened three times in the last month.
* Pop up ads all the time as of recently.

We could have other symptoms that I'm not recognising, or these might not even be symptoms, but it's the best I can come up with.

I run Spybot constantly - and CONSTANTLY come up with issues to get rid of. As in every day or two. I've just run Ad-aware as specified by this forum, and I've just download Hijackthis as well. Have followed the instructions (I hope correctly) and here is the report -

- Also these results differ slightly from between our two usernames if that makes a difference?

Thankyou so much for any help.Take as long as you need to reply! However, my dad has been talking about just 'putting the computer into the shop' as he tells me. He doesn't understand the pain of not having the computer for a few days. My point - the computer may be taking up residence in said 'shop' in 48hrs or more. If so I will come back and inform people :)

Or do you think I should just grin and bare it - and let 'the shop' handle it instead?

*You needn't remain online while it's doing the scan but you have to re-connect after it has finished to see the report.

Download Trend Micro™ Anti-Spyware (by clicking the "Scan and Clean your PC" button).
  • Double-click the tmas-web-scan.exe icon
  • It will say "Loading TrendMicro definitions".
  • Click "Start Scan"
After it's done scanning, click "Scan Results"
  • Make sure all items found have a check next to them, then click "Clean Threats Now".
  • Click Exit.
Reboot your computer. I then need you to repeat the same procedure above again... using the TrendMicro tool. I need the log from the second scan/clean...NOT the first...as this will contain what’s left in the system.

In place of the TrendMicro icon will be a text file called "Antispyware.log", please double-click that log and copy the entire contents and paste them here.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


In your next post, please include fresh logs from:
  • HiJackThis log
  • Online Scan
  • Ewido
  • Trend's antispyware log
Please provide details of any problems you encountered whilst performing the above steps & update us on how the computer behaves now

Processes and Problems Encountered

* Didn't need to run LSPFix

* I didn't complete the following step

Click Start->Run - type SERVICES.MSC & then click on the OK button

1. Locate the service - System Startup Service (SvcProc)
2. Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog.
* Under the General tab, note down the name of "Service name". We shall need it later.
* Stop the service by using the Stop button.
* Change the Startup type to Disabled & then click on the OK button
3. Then start HiJackThis & go to Config>Misc.Tools...> Delete an NT service...
4. In the popup box that appears, type in "Service name" & then click on the OK button


As 'System Startup Service' couldn't be located.

* Some of the things listed to be deleted in HiJackThis weren't there when I went to fix them. As in, F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe wasn't listed in the scan anymore. I'll list them if necessary, though I don't think it is?

* When using KillBox.exe nothing would paste when I used copy/paste from clipboard so I copy/pasted individually and then hit the x button. Hope this wasn't the wrong thing to do.

Computer Behaviour -

So far no pop-ups like I was getting. My dad still can't run PowerDVD correctly but this may be an unrelated issue. I think things are running better.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [735c2ivf] C:\WINDOWS\System32\735c2ivf.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [imuf] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\imuf\imufm.exe

Note: When deleting files I couldn't find

*C:\PROGRAM FILES\VVSN although there is a file called VVSN.exe stored in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Recovery So maybe sypbot picked it up at some point.

*C:\WINDOWS\INF\conscorr.inf - although there was a C:\WINDOWS\INF\conscorr.PNF which I didn't delete.

Sorry. I did not notice that both VVSN & conscorr.inf were picked up by Trend antispyware after it was flagged by Panda.

Whilst C:\WINDOWS\INF\conscorr.PNF is malignant, it would be wiser to delete it.

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

  1. CLEAR & RESET SYSTEM RESTORE'S CACHE
    Go to Start >> Run - type control sysdm.cpl,,4 & press Enter
    • Tick on the checkbox - Turn off System Restore on all drives
    • Click Apply
    Turn it back 'On' by unticking the same checkbox & click OK


  2. DISABLE THE VIEWING OF SYSTEM FILES
    From Windows Explorer, go to Tools>Folder Options> View tab.
    • Untick - Show hidden files and folder
    • Tick - Hide file extensions for known types
    • Tick - Hide protected operating system files
    Click Yes to confirm & then click OK


  3. SECURING INTERNET EXPLORER
    From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Internet Options.
    • Select the Security tab
      • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
      • Select Custom Level .
        • Change 'Download signed ActiveX controls' to Prompt
        • Change 'Download unsigned ActiveX controls' to Disable
        • Change 'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe' to Disable
        • Change 'Installation of desktop items' to Prompt
        • Change 'Launching programs and files in an IFRAME' to Prompt
        • Change 'Navigate sub-frames across different domains' to Prompt
        • When all these changes 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.
    • Select OK to exit the Internet Properties page.


  4. ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
    It is very important that you have anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

    See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

    Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources

    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.


  5. FIREWALL
    Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. A tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones can be found here.


  6. Microsoft Windows Update
    Visit windowsupdate.com 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.


  7. SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY
    Download and install Spybot - Search & Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here


  8. AD-AWARE
    Download and install Ad-Aware. You should use this program to scan your computer on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here


  9. 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


  10. IE-SPYAD
    IE/Spyad places more than 4000 dubious websites and domains in the IE Restricted list. This severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites. A tutorial on installing this product can be found here


  11. MVPS HOST FILE
    The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites form serving you unsolicited advertisements. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is the IP of your local computer. It can be downloaded here - MVPS Hosts file

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.
  • Trillian or 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)

  • Weather Watcher - Free taskbar weather program that is free, malware free, and resource light.

  • 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.

  • Sun's Java - It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine.

  • Google Toolbar - Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

  • CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.

  • 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.

  • Winpatrol - Download and install the free version of Winpatrol.
    A tutorial for this product is located here:
    Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

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

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.

Please respond to this thread one more time so we can mark this thread as resolved.
