Hello there,

 

While using the newest MBAM Pro version I keep getting warnings and log files like "Malicious Website Protection IP, 219.146.8.78, 5060 Inbound, C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe." The IP addresses and ports are changing.

 

I made scans with Norton Antivirus, MBAM, and many adware/junkware removal tools but only tracking cookies were found. I even checked with regedit the names of all of the about 110 services that could be hosted by svchost.exe, and all of them were genuine Windows services.

 

Finally I decided to restore my laptop totally to factory settings and reinstall all the programmes. After restoring to factory settings I first updated Windows 7, installed Norton Antivirus, and MS Silverlight that was needed for watching the help video. Then I installed MBAM 2.0 and Adobe Reader X.

 

I made a new user account and enabled Guest account, too. Then, before starting to reinstall more programs, I took a look at MBAM History and there it was again: "Malicious Website Protection IP, 195.39.196.50, 22 Inbound, C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe."

 

What could this be all about?

 

Please, note. Before writing to you I had to reinstall MS Office, too,  to get my email working. Then I made a new FRST scan. Unfortunately I first deleted the first logs and it appeared that the additional log cannot be made again. So, please find the FRST.txt log attached only because it is all I have..

FRST.txt

Hello,

 

I have recently made System Restore to factory settings. While I was still reinstalling programs MBAM again started displaying pop-ups about malicious websites that it blocked. The Protection Logs have items like "Malicious Website Protection IP, 219.146.8.78, 5060 Inbound, C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe." The IP addresses and ports are changing. 

 

Could someone help me in resolving this issue? Attached, please, find FRST.txt and Addition.txt logs.

 

Regards

Hannu

STEP 0
RKill is a program that was developed at BleepingComputer.com that attempts to terminate known malware processes
so that your normal security software can then run and clean your computer of infections.
When RKill runs it will kill malware processes and then removes incorrect executable associations and fixes policies
that stop us from using certain tools. When finished it will display a log file that shows the processes that were
terminated while the program was running.

As RKill only terminates a program's running process, and does not delete any files, after running it you should not reboot
your computer as any malware processes that are configured to start automatically will just be started again.
Instead, after running RKill you should immediately scan your computer using the requested scans I've included.

Please download Rkill by Grinler from one of the links below and save it to your desktop.
 


Link 2

  • On Windows XP double-click on the Rkill desktop icon to run the tool.
  • On Windows Vista/Windows 7 or 8, right-click on the Rkill desktop icon and select Run As Administrator
  • A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
  • If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.
  • If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.
  • If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.
  • Do not reboot the computer, you will need to run the application again.

STEP 01
Backup the Registry:
Modifying the Registry can create unforeseen problems, so it always wise to create a backup before doing so.
  • Please download ERUNT from one of the following links: Link1 | Link2 | Link3
  • ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.
  • Double click on erunt-setup.exe to Install ERUNT by following the prompts.
  • NOTE: Do not choose to allow ERUNT to add an Entry to the Startup folder. Click NO.
  • Start ERUNT either by double clicking on the desktop icon or choosing to start the program at the end of the setup process.
  • Choose a location for the backup.
    • Note: the default location is C:\Windows\ERDNT which is acceptable.

    [*]Make sure that at least the first two check boxes are selected. [*]Click on OK [*]Then click on YES to create the folder. [*]Note: if it is necessary to restore the registry, open the backup folder and start ERDNT.exe


STEP 02
Please run a Threat Scan with MBAM.  If you're unable to run or complete the scan as shown below please see the following:  MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x
When reinstalling the program please try the latest version.

Right click and choose "Run as administrator" to open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and from the Dashboard please Check for Updates by clicking the Update Now... link
Open up Malwarebytes > Settings > Detection and Protection > Enable Scan for rootkit and Under Non Malware Protection set both PUP and PUM to Treat detections as malware.
Click on the SCAN button and run a Threat Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware by clicking the Scan Now>> button.
Once completed please click on the History > Application Logs and find your scan log and open it and then click on the "copy to clipboard" button and post back the results on your next reply.
 
 
STEP 03
Please download RogueKiller and save it to your desktop.

You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

  • RogueKiller 32-bit | RogueKiller 64-bit
  • Quit all running programs.
  • For Windows XP, double-click to start.
  • For Vista,Windows 7/8, Right-click on the program and select Run as Administrator to start and when prompted allow it to run.
  • Read and accept the EULA (End User Licene Agreement)
  • Click Scan to scan the system.
  • When the scan completes Close 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

Hello and thank you for helping me in this issue. You adviced me not to continue, if I do not understand something. In the instructions reads "NOTE: Do not choose to allow ERUNT to add an Entry to the Startup folder. Click NO." The installer wants to make a shortcut to the Start Menu folder. The folder can be changed but the shortcut cannot be omitted.

 

So what did you mean and what should I do in this step? Otherwise the instructions seem clear to me.

 

Thanks

Question: The files like [ File : C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\jjh2b8ww.default\prefs.js ] apparently contained the custom settings of Firefox for each user. Resetting Firefox made it to open in the First Run window and without extensions. Because I never had any problems in Firefox I suppose it is OK to restore the above settings from the Qarantine folder?

Hi,

 

It was clearly a mistake to allow AdwCleaner to put the above mentioned files to quarantine. Firefox now saves only the settings of the administrator accaunt. All other user's settings are ignored after restart. Because I use Firefox (and other programs) with limited rights account I cannot use Firefox at all.

 

Can I restore those quarantined files or do you recommend to reinstall Firefox?

Hello again,

As I already told I let AdwCleaner delete files like
 C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\jjh2b8ww.default\prefs.js
After that Firefox worked normally only in the Administrator (Omistaja) account. In standard user accounts (Hannu) and Guest account (Vieras) Firefox did not save User Preferences but opened the First Run windows every time it was restarted.

Later I also noticed (in my standard account and Guest account) that by closing Firefox always wrote a new prefs.js file, but it was empty (0 kb). I finally had tens of prefs.js files named prefs.js, prefs-1.js, prefs-2.js, etc.

AdwCleaner did not move those files in quarantine but saved a backup copy of them. On Sunday I first renamed the prefs.js files of Hannu and Vieras (Guest) to prefs.js.old, deleted the files named prefs-1.js to prefs-n.js and finally copied the original files from the backup back to the Firefox Profiles. Since then Firefox is working normally both in my own standard account and Guest account.
After a restart there is a 30 seconds delay in signing in to a Windows account before the desktop is loaded but otherwise the computer works and has worked without problems all the time. There has not been anything abnormal happening. It’s the frequent MBAM popups only that make me wonder. Below are copies of some MBAM Protection logs.

Those are inbound IP blocks which are typically due to either an application attempting to contact your computer or an open probe from a remote system. Unfortunately there is not much you can do to stop this except to ensure you have a good Firewall in place to block unrequested incoming requests. We wanted to ensure that your computer is not the one sending out requests for a remote to come contact you back and the logs show that your computer does not appear to be reaching out on it's own due to some type of rootkit or other threat. At this time the computer appears to be clean. I'd like to just check some other applications to make sure they're not outdated and then give you a clean up speech.

 

Please download Security Check by screen317 from HERE or HERE.

  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
  • If you get Unsupported operating system. Aborting now, just reboot and try again.
  • A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt.
  • Please Post the contents of that document.
  • Do Not Attach It!!!

Thank you for the good news. It really seemed to me that there was something in my computer that tried to create contacts to malicious sites. Could you possibly try to explain to me what the word “inbound” means in this connection?

Inbound means that a remote computer is trying to contact your computer. Normally your computer needs to ask other computers for information and then they reply back. When one attempts to contact your computer without you asking them to that is where/when this "inbound" is happening. As I said not much one can do about it beyond what you're already doing. Just keep an eye out and make sure the blocks are incoming and not outgoing. An outgoing IP block can be an indicator of a possible infection.

 

Please check for updates for your Acrobat Reader and Firefox but otherwise we should be done here now.

 

 

At this time there are no more signs of an infection on your system.
However if you are still seeing any signs of an infection please let me know.

Let's go ahead and remove the tools and logs we've used during this process.

Most of the tools used are potentially dangerous to use unsupervised or if ran at the wrong time.
They are often updated daily so if you went to use them again in the future they would be outdated anyways.

The following procedures will implement some cleanup procedures to remove these tools.
 
bwebb7v.jpgDownload Delfix from here and save it to your desktop. (you may already have this)

  • Ensure Remove disinfection tools is checked.
  • Click the Run button.
  • Reboot

Any other programs or logs that are still remaining, you can manually delete. (right click.....Delete)
IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST folder, FRST-OlderVersion folder, MBAR folder, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.

Note:
If you used FRST and can't delete the quarantine folder:
Download the fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST.exe.
Run FRST.exe and click Fix only once and wait
That will delete the quarantine folder created by FRST.
The rest you can manually delete.
 
 
If there are any other left over Folders, Files, Logs then you can delete them on your own.
 
Please visit the following link to see how to delete old System Restore Points. Please delete all of them and create a new one at this time.

As Java seems to get exploited on a regular basis I advise not using Java if possible but to at least disable java in your web browsers

A lot of reading here but if you take the time to read a bit of it you'll see why/how infections and general damage are so easily inflicted on the computer. There is also advice on how to prevent it and keep the system working well. Don't forget about good, solid backups of your data to an external drive that is not connected except when backing up your data. If you leave a backup drive connected and you do get infected it can easily damage, encrypt, delete, or corrupt your backups as well and then you'd lose all data.
Nothing is 100% bulletproof but with a little bit of education you can certainly swing things in your favor.


If you're not currently using Malwarebytes Premium then you may want to consider purchasing the product which can also help greatly reduce the risk of a future infection.

Thank you very much,

 

It seems that I have successfully deleted all the programs I downloaded and used under your supervision. After running DelFix, only ERUNT had to be uninstalled manually in addition to the left over logs.

 

By the way: Norton moved DelFix.exe straight to the quarantine as it had earlier done with ComboFix.exe. Both of them had to be restored from the quarantine before they could be run.

 

Apparently the cause of this “rootkit hunting” was in my limited knowledge in English language. I thought that “inbound” means that the initiative to create a connection arose in my computer.

 

After all, I am very thankful for your assistance in this topic. And thanks for reminding me upon those updates, too. The case seems to be closed.

 

With Regards

 

Hannu
