Double Checking to see if Virus is gone.

1080 Views 12 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  fredmh
I downloaded a Trojan.Vlob virus the other day. I think I've got it off the system, but I'd like to get as many opinions as possible. Bitdefender is still picking up random things like Trojan.downloader.Vlob.ALB or Trojan.downloader.2.gen in the trend micro antivirus files, but I'm not sure if these are supposed to be this way or not.
Active Antivirus: Trend Micro
Spyware detector: Spy Sweeper
Temp Cleanup: CCleaner
Secondary Antivirus: Spybot
and of course, HJT

Hello Mr.Mister, 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.


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

I don't see anything malicious in your log, so let's dig a little deeper. The Trojan you are refering to, Zlob, is amember of the
SmitFraud family. we'll also see if that's in there.


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

DOWNLOADS



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.



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



ComboFix



1. Download this file - You MUST save it to your desktop

COMBOFIX




2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

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


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

ON-LINE SCANS

Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan

  1. Click on
    located at the bottom of the page.
  2. A "pop up" window will appear. * Please ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it *
  3. Enter your e-mail address, country, and state & click "Free Online Scan" * The download of the 8 MB Panda's ActiveX control will take place *

Begin the scan by selecting

  • If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report.
  • Please ignore any entry it finds and the offer to buy the program to remove the entry, as we will address this later.
  • Click on
    then click

* 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.
* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan


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

FOLLOW-UP

Please return and post these items in the order listed:

c:\rapport.txt from SmitFraud

Please let me know how your system is behaving.

Posting the Combofix and rapport while panda is running (takes forever) Panda has picked up a rootkit. Is this a result of Combofix or Smitfraud?

PANDAWARE AND HJT TO COME!
See less See more
A rootkit is hidden malware. Running those tools would not produce a rootkit.

Combo, however is not showing a rootkit, but we can still check.

Also, there are a couple of sections missing from the ComboFix log.
Yep, I read rootkit in the pandascan and as a result, it was at the forefront of my mind. However upon further inspection it says: Hacking Tools and Rootkits. I am very sorry to bother you with this, but I'm sort of a nervous person when it comes to computers. It is mostly because I'm not very good with them. Perhaps I could be likened to a Camputer Hypochondriac: I see one little possible problem and I think the whole thing is going to blow. =P I'm sure when you look at HJT logs there are "red flags" that jump out at you to say "INFECTED!" Do you know of any websites that show what to look for? Preferably one made for the computer illiterate. I hate having to bother people about this.

Also fixed Combofix.
ComboFix is not showing a Rootkit and the SmitFraud log was clean. Would you please post the Panda report.
Panda report is coming...I hope...its been scanning for the past...18 or so hours. It just can't get throught the spysweeper files.
Panda Scan stalled in Webroot spysweeper files. I'll post what I managed to get.

Spy sweeper does tend to interfere with certain scanners.


These files need to go;

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

I would also clean out the Trend-Micro Quarantine.

  • From your Desktop right-click (hosts.zip) and select:
    Extract All from the menu.
  • Click Next, click Next, select the option:
    "Show Extracted files"

Double-click on the included mvps.bat file, this will rename the existing HOSTS file to HOSTS.MVP, then it will copy the included updated
HOSTS file to the correct location on your machine.

which is used in conjunction with the Google search engine. It advises which web sites are considered safe and which sites could pose a problem.
It also shows what problems were encountered with each site, such as malicious downloads, spam, and related links.
