exploit.drop.9 removal

pib3108 · November 10, 2012

Hello,

I have read several threads on this threat, but finer details are never dicussed. I must therefore assume each infection must have a certain uniqueness. At any rate, I need to remove this pos. Malwarebytes found it yesterday, "removed" it, but of course it still redirects searches periodically. I can follow directions, if anyone cares to help, please! Thank-you in advance!

Welcome to the forum.

Please remove any usb or external drives from the computer before you run this scan!

Please download and run RogueKiller to your desktop.

Quit all running programs.

For Windows XP, double-click to start.

For Vista or Windows 7, do a right-click on the program, select Run as Administrator to start, & when prompted Allow to run.

Click Scan to scan the system.

When the scan completes > Close out the program > Don't Fix anything!

Don't run any other options, they're not all bad!!!!!!!

Post back the report which should be located on your desktop.

Thank-you, MrCharlie, I feel I am in good hands! My paternal grandfather was known by some for a certain bootleg product he made...folks refered to it as "Mr Charlies" to distingish it from the cheaper imitations... So I am told...

Here is the log:

Next...........

Please read the directions carefully so you don't end up deleting something that is good!!

Please note that TDSSKiller can be run in safe mode if needed.

Here's a video that explains how to run it if needed:

Please download the latest version of TDSSKiller from here and save it to your Desktop.

Doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application, then click on Change parameters.
Put a checkmark beside loaded modules.
A reboot will be needed to apply the changes. Do it.
TDSSKiller will launch automatically after the reboot. Also your computer may seem very slow and unusable. This is normal. Give it enough time to load your background programs.
Then click on Change parameters in TDSSKiller.
Check all boxes then click OK.
Click the Start Scan button.
The scan should take no longer than 2 minutes.
If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.

Any entries like this: \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System ) - please choose Skip.
If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results - Select action for found objects and offer three options.
Ensure Cure (default) is selected, then click Continue > Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.

Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.
A report will be created in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste the contents of that file here. There may be 3 logs > so post or attach all of them.
Sometimes these logs can be very large, in that case please attach it or zip it up and attach it.

Here's a summary of what to do if you would like to print it out:

If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue

If you get the warning about a file UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic or LockedFile.Multi.Generic please choose

Skip and click on Continue

Any entries like this: \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System ) - please choose Skip.

If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results and offer three (3) options.

Ensure Cure is selected, then click Continue => Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.

Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.

That scan was clean, please do this........

Please download and run ComboFix.

The most important things to remember when running it is to disable all your malware programs and run Combofix from your desktop.

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix

http://www.bleepingc...to-use-combofix

Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Information on disabling your malware programs can be found Here.

Make sure you run ComboFix from your desktop.

Give it at least 30-45 minutes to finish if needed.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

---------->NOTE<----------

If you get the message Illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion after you run ComboFix....please reboot the computer, this should resolve the problem. You may have to do this several times if needed.

MrCharlie · November 11, 2012

Looks Good.....

Please Update and run a Quick Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, post the report.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next.............

Please download AdwCleaner from here and save it on your Desktop.

Right-click on adwcleaner.exe and select Run As Administrator (for XP just double click) to launch the application.
Now click on the Search tab.
Please post the contents of the log-file created in your next post.

Note: The log can also be located at C:\ >> AdwCleaner[XX].txt >> XX <-- Denotes the number of times the application has been ran, so in this should be something like R1.
