HJT Log for a Trojan Virus

[jpizzo85]

The following is the virus on my computer:

Threat: Trojan.Vundo
File: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{B37680B2-BA0A-4E5D-BF30-83E44C588624}\RP279\A0015204.dll
Location: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{B37680B2-BA0A-4E5D-BF30-83E44C588624}\RP279

I have had no noticable symptons other than the Symantec Antivirus Notification Box popping up repeatedly, displaying the above message. I have used the HJT Analyzer to get the "new log."

In your next post, please include fresh logs from:

1. HiJackThis
2. Online scan

Please provide details of any problems you encountered whilst performing the above steps & update us on how the computer behaves now

[jpizzo85]

How do you create this file C:\PROGRAM FILES\HIJACKTHIS\?

[sUBs]

Open Windows Explorer
Type this into the address bar & press Enter - C:\Program Files
It will take you to the Program Files directory

When you get there, click on the File menu & select New > Folder
Name it as HijackThis

[jpizzo85]

I moved HJT this to the Program Files doing the steps you mentioned in the previous reply. When I start HJT, it mentions that is has been started from a temporary folder. The HJT folder is located in my program files. Also, I now have a desktop icon called desktop.ini. When I double click the icon, this text file opens:

[LocalizedFileNames]
Windows Media Player.lnk=@C:\WINDOWS\inf\unregmp2.exe,-4

Here is the results from the online scan. I did not see where I could remove these files, so they are still on my computer.

LOL..The file you moved to the Program Files folder isnt exactly what I meant. It appears to be a zipped file. I want the file that it contains within. You should extract that file into the folder you just created.

Whenever you use HJT to fix any entries, it will create backups. These backups would be placed in the Program Files folder. If HJT was running from a temporary directory, those backup files would be scattered somewhere else in your computer where HJT wouldnt be able to find.

No worry though, I havent had you do any critical fixing with HJT. The loss of the backups shouldnt be monumental.

Kaspersky's online scan found some infected files in Norton's quarantine folder. Please use Symantec's guide to remove the infected files.

I would also like you to look at the first post of this thread. If you compare the HJT log there & the current HJT log you just posted, you would realise thatyou just posted half a log.

May I have the other half please.

   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

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.

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.
