Hello, I posted here a few days ago looking for help with a trojan infection, which turned out to be poweliks, which was completely successful in removal. Since then, i have been attacked by poweliks again as well as some chrome based trojan. I dont know how I am getting these, I dont even know where to begin. Each has been removed with relative ease, but it seems every day theres a new attack. I need help permanently blocking these, or at least identifying where they are coming from in the first place. Thank you for any help.

I wasnt able to turn system restore on. In the first place I find it strange that it was off. "Could not apply the settings for the following reason: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (0x8007007b)" Additionally I dont use any P2P software, too scared of the malware. In fact if you find any evidence of it please let me know because its not supposed to be there.

Right now im perfectly fine. I have managed to get through each attack attempt without serious or long lasting issue. My concern is that I have some massive exploit, wildly outdated software, something that keeps letting these in. I dont do any risky web surfing, so the fact that I keep getting trojans is baffling to me and I have no idea where to begin. I dont know if its malware, or an exploit, or what and I need helping figuring out how these trojans keep getting in, even if they get shut down before anything happens.

OK..please run these scans:

Make sure you have created that system restore point before you continue!

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

If in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip!!!!

Don't Delete anything unless instructed to!

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

Skip and click on Continue

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

Please note that TDSSKiller can be run in safe mode 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. (Leave the KSN box checked)

    tds2.jpg

  • Put a checkmark beside loaded modules.

    13040712472913819.png

  • 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.

    clip.jpg

  • Click the Start Scan button.

    tds2.jpg

  • The scan should take no longer than 2 minutes.

    tdsskiller_guide_5.gif

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

    If in doubt about an entry....please ask or 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.

    tdsskiller_guide_3.gif

    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 in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip

Don't Delete anything unless instructed to!

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.

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

You can attach the logs if they're too long:

Bottom right corner of this page.

New window that comes up.

replyer1.jpg

Then...........

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.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/dl/12/<---ComboFix direct download

Please make sure you click download buttons that look similar to this, not "sponsored ad links":

bleep-crop.jpg

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.

Last:

Clean out temp files:

Download TFC from here and save it to your desktop.

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/tfc/dl/92/

Close any open programs and Internet browsers.

Double click TFC.exe to run it on XP (for Vista and Windows 7 right click and choose "Run as administrator") and once it opens click on the Start button on the lower left of the program to allow it to begin cleaning.

Please be patient as clearing out temp files may take a while.

Once it completes you may be prompted to restart your computer, please do so.

Once it's finished you may delete TFC.exe from your desktop or save it for later use for the cleaning of temporary files.

I havent had any issues for a while now, and some other measure have been taken to clean the computer, I can create a system restore point after additional cleaning so whatever was causing that issue is done. Im going to operate for now under the belief that things are taken care of, You can close this now. Thanks for the help, and sorry I feel like I lead everyone on a bit of a goose chase.

I have run all of these for all users yes. But ever say 12 hours I never the less explode with warnings from malwarebytes that the same programs that were being called in by poweliks when I had the first time are attempting to invade my computer again, and my computer slows down immensely and I begin to see dll.host.exe pop up as a running process. It doesnt happen constantly, only after a great many hours of run time. Also my computers visual settings get altered and start up times slow immensely until after extensive cleaning. Is there something else that could possibly be causing these symptoms? How should I proceed at this point?

Update and run a Threat scan with Malwarebytes

 

======================================

Then download and run Norton Power Eraser, let it do the rootkit scan also.
Be very careful with the program, it's very powerful and often comes up with false positives!
Carefully research what it finds and whats to delete
If there's any questions, ask me first before fixing anything.

Norton Power Eraser:

So Ive run NPE. As far as I can tell, none of these are malicious. I recognize all these programs, either as rainmeter functions or modding tools. Also it hit up combofix. The only thing that worries me Is that it registered "Registry System Settings Bad". I looked around but there seems to be a lot of ambiguity over whether or not this is a false positive when it comes up. I included the logs In case you want to view them. It comes in xml, I also added a .txt buuut that might not be useful in its current form. How should I proceed?

Sorry, one last thing. I think the infection started when I plugged in an external drive used in cleaning the families public computer. Someone came in later and found that I missed a self replicating virus that was on that computer, hiding in the temp files. Is it possible that we already got it? If so, we could just try waiting a little, see if any symptoms reappear. Sorry if im not being helpful, just trying to provide any context I may have missed.

Im very sorry for all these posts, but just one more piece of information. After this last time, I noticed that internet explorer stopped working when the attack began, despite not being active. I uninstalled internet explorer and ran npe, restarting the computer (I didnt actually do anything with npe, just ran a scan). When the computer came back on, it was running fine, mbam wasnt freaking out and all other symptoms were absent.

I've been watching this topic here on a possible new rootkit:


 

=========================

 

Lets see if anything shows in a new scan:

 

Please re-scan with FRST and Make sure the Addition Box is checked.

Post or attach the 2 logs FRST(64).txt and Addition.txt
