Hello Horace, and welcome to TSF


Please subscribe to this thread to get immediate notification of replies as soon as they are posted. To do this click Thread Tools,
then click Subscribe to this Thread. Make sure it is set to Instant Notification, then click Subscribe.


Please read this post completely before begining the fix. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding.
Please ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this
webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix.



IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DON'T MISS A STEP & PERFORM EVERYTHING IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

----------------------------------------

The fixes we will use are specific to your problems and should only be used for this issue on this machine.

Please only use this topic to reply to. Do not start another thread.
If any other issues arise let me know.

The process is not instant. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear.
Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear. So lets do this to the end!

Please make every effort to reply to my posts in a timely manner. Malware breeds malware and the longer an infection remains on a system, the more
likely additional infections will result.


----------------------------------------

Nothing really bad in the HJT log. We'll get rid of some junk and see what may be hiding in your system.


----------------------------------------

This looks like the legit file, but we'll check it anyway:

Please submit the following file to Jotti File Scan

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe


At the top of the window you should see "File to Upload & Scan" and a blank box. Copy and paste the red text from above into the box.
Then click "submit".

When it is finished, please copy and paste the information listed under "Service" and "Scanner Results" back in this thread.

----------------------------------------

DOWNLOADS


CLEANUP! version 4.52 – TEMP FILE CLEANING


Please download Cleanup! and install it. You will use this later.

Alternative link Cleanup Alt


*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temporary folders and does not make backups.

I see you have this installed already. Please update the definitions. We will use it later

K, Jotti file came up clean on ctfmon.exe

Ran combofix, but could not boot into safe mode.

Ran Hijack this, ticked the boxes you said. I am curious about the one for Alltel as it would have been something from my DSL ISP? Ticked it anyways.

Unhid files as told. Could not delete ctpmon.exe even after running Hijackthis.
Tried to shut it down in task manager but it keeps restarting. Tried shutting it down in msconfig to no avail. This file is a problem.

Ran Cleanup, AVG Anti-Spyware and Panda Scan.

Following are requested log files:

System not bad. Keeps getting a popup to download "Registry Cleaner" that says is from Microsoft, which I thunk one of the kids hit ok on the other day and it is still on the system. It will be going in the trash soon. But that darn ctpmon.exe file is a bugger.

Registry Cleaner is a legit program. Some people use registry cleaners regularly and others won't go near them. I guess it's more on personal preference, keeping in mind that deleting the wrong registry entry can affect the operation of your system. Please let me know if you want to keep it. If not, we'll get rid of it in the next round

Speaking of registry entries, ComboFix shows a SmitFraud infection. Please download this tool and post the log.



SMITFRAUD FIX

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Double-click smitfraudfix.exe to start the tool.
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"
and a text file will appear which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

The log will be at c:\rapport.txt

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run option #2 OR any other option until you are directed to do so!

Cannot log into safe mode.
On start up. also get keyboard failure.
No what?
Also, when i restart in normal mode, the ctpmon.exe file continues to be running as it is showing in task manager twice.
Stay in normal mode. The registry fix in the above post should knock it out.

The file is residing in your registry.

The reg fix you sent did not knock it out.
Tried it twice and it still shows up.
Submitted file to the place you suggested.

Was able to delete:
C:\Program Files\Malware-Wiped
C:\pnxmrqtb.exe
C:\Windows\system32\jview.exe

All others not found, except this darn ctpmon.exe which again the reg fix did not kill.

Now what?
Voila!

Guess what - got rid of ctpmon.exe (me thunks)

Renamed ctpmon.exe file in system32 folder to retard.exe - went into regedit, deleted it from local machine and current user, deleted file from system32 folder and now it is not showing up on reboot. Also able to boot into safe mode now.

So where ya wanna go from here?
Ok, all the above steps taken. Here are the reports you asked for.

This is a new varient of the SmitFraud infection which does not like to go quietly. There are still some left overs. I will get back to you shhortly.

cptmon.exe is an interesting piece of malware which doesn't like to go quietly and it appears to download rogue Registry Cleaners.
I want to check and make sure it's gone as it appears to rejuvenite itself and clean out the remaining malware in your system.



----------------------------------------

CPTMON DELETION

Please check and see it it is still in TAsk Manager

  • Open Task Manager
  • Go to Start>>Run and type in taskmgr


  • select the Processes tab
  • Scroll down to cptmon.exe
  • Right click on the process
  • Select End Process Tree
  • Close Task Manager

----------------------------------------

REGISTRY FIX

We need to finish cleaning out the bad registry entries.

Download the attached horace1.zip file at the bottom of this post to your desktop. Double click on the zip folder,
then double click on the .reg file within.
Click yes to allow it to merge into your registry.

----------------------------------------

SAFE MODE RE-BOOT

Please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Use the up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode and press Enter.
5) Login with your usual account. Make sure to close any open browsers.

----------------------------------------

FIXES AND DELETIONS


Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs) if they exist:

RegistryCleaner>>>This is a Rogue program, however, if you want it, disregard the deletion


----------------------------------------

UNHIDE HIDDEN FILES

Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Also make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types
* Click Yes to confirm and then click OK.

----------------------------------------

Delete the following Files indicated in RED and Folders indicated in BLUE if they still exist.


C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\Programs\setup.exe
