Hi there,
my name is Marius and I will assist you with your malware related problems.

Before we move on, please read the following points carefully.

• First, read my instructions completely. If there is anything that you do not understand kindly ask before proceeding.
• Perform everything in the correct order. Sometimes one step requires the previous one.
• If you have any problems while following my instructions, Stop there and tell me the exact nature of your problem.
• Do not run any other scans without instruction or add/remove software unless I tell you to do so. This would change the output of our tools and could be confusing for me.
• Post all logfiles as a reply rather than as an attachment unless I specifically ask you. If you can not post all logfiles in one reply, feel free to use more posts.
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.
• Stay with me. I will give you some advice about prevention after the cleanup process. Absence of symptoms does not always mean the computer is clean.
• My first language is not english. So please do not use slang or idioms. It could be hard for me to read. Thanks for your understanding.

**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

hey Team, 

 

I saw the steps and thought of trying 2 things before I follow these, 

1. Sys Restore - Failed

2. Follow a thread in http://answers.microsoft.com

 

I got the resolution:

 

1 - open notepad 

copy this batch code and past it on Notepad 

taskkill /im "PEEsaEEEEEERAStTs.exe"
cd min
call compile.bat
rename miner.dll_part1 miner.dll
move miner.dll ..
cd ../
cd shel
call compile.bat
rename shell.exe_part1 shell.exe
move shell.exe ..
cd ../
cd macro
call compile.bat
rename macromedia.exe_part1 macromedia.exe
move macromedia.exe ..
cd ../

taskkill /f /im "wscript.exe"
taskkill /f /im "cscript.exe"
taskkill  /f /im "macromedia.exe"
taskkill /im "shell.exe"
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > NUL
wscript.exe usft_ext.exe.vbs


then Save as on desktop "whats ever name.bat
close notepad,   just run the file " it will totaly kills the "coin-miner.exe "    

 

It killed both Shell.exe/Macromedia.exe popups.

 

Now I want to make sure they are gone, is it fine or we can do something?

[santu0553]

I'm so sorry, the above post only provides a temporary fix, it also says  "Can not find script file "C:\usft_ext.exe.vbs"

 

I'll try the steps provided by you, but pls let me know if can improvise on the above script?

If you want to fix this without being helped in the forum, just proceed. Else, read my instructions and post up the ark.txt.

Don´t try anything else on your own.

[santu0553]

Okay sure ... will post it as soon as the scan is done.
