Powershell Running Malware/Virus Commands

So about 3 months ago Powershell started appearing on my taskbar, just popping up before promptly disappearing. Somewhat irritating as it would distract me from what I was doing and sometimes minimize other programs but not a big deal. I was suspicious but up to date Avast and Malwarebytes scans didn't find anything so I assumed it was just a dodgy Windows update or something.

 

More recently it has however started tripping Avast (though not every time) and I get a threat detection warning that Powershell was trying to download something from: http://camelsupport.com/files/59/projectd.dat

 

So I repeat the process of updating and scanning with Malwarebytes & Avast - find a few suspicious files but nothing relating to Powershell or 'Camel Support' and Powershell continues to run autonomously and I continue getting the occasional Avast warning. Looking online I find many people talking about malicious Powershell scripts but very little about people actually dealing with them infecting their system, I do find a couple of suggestions to download and run Zemana & Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - I do both and still nothing.

 

So I'm now out of ideas as to how to deal with this issue, I have no use for Powershell personally and would happily erase it from my computer if it were possible (though I imagine that would cause other problems elsewhere anyway). So far I've not noted any actual issues in computer performance - no adware on my browser, no programs appearing that I didn't download, no slow-down or loss of memory. Does that imply that Avast is successfully blocking the scripts and therefore my system is still secure? I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

Hello HammyTheHamster and welcome to Malwarebytes,

My screen name is kevinf80, i`m here to help clean up your system. Make sure to run all scans from accounts with Administrator status, continue as follows please:

Anyone other than the original starter of this thread please DO NOT follow the instructions and advice posted as replies here, my help and advice is NOT related to your system and will probably cause more harm than good...

Change the download folder setting in the Default Browser only. so all of the tools we may use are saved to the Desktop:

Click Browse and select the Desktop and then choose the Select Folder button. Click OK to get out of the download options screen and then click Close to get out of the View Downloads screen.
NOTE: IE8 Does not support changing download locations in this manner. You will need to download the tool(s) to the default folder, usually Downloads, then copy them to the desktop.

user posted imageChange default download folder location in Edge -Boot to a user account with admin status, select start > file explorer > right click on "Downloads" folder and select "Properties"

In the new window select "Location" tab > clear the text field box and type in or copy/paste %userprofile%\Desktop > select "Apply" then "OK"

Be aware you are not changing the Browser download folder location, you are changing the user’s download directory location.....

Next,

Follow the instructions in the following link to show hidden files:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/

Next,

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Alternative download option: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6731-farbar-recovery-scan-tool.html

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system (32 bit or 64 bit). If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

If your security alerts to FRST either, accept the alert or turn your security off to allow FRST to run. It is not malicious or infected in any way...

Be aware FRST must be run from an account with Administrator status...
 
  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.(Windows 8/10 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.)
  • Make sure Addition.txt is checkmarked under "Optional scans"
  • Press Scan button to run the tool....
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
  • The tool will also make a log named (Addition.txt) Please attach that log to your reply.


Next,

Download and save RogueKiller to your Desktop from this link:

https://www.fosshub.com/RogueKiller.html/setup.exe

Right click setup.exe and select Run as Administrator to start installing RogueKiller.

At the next window Checkmark "Install 32 and 64 bit versions, then select "Next"

Hi Kevin,

 

Thanks, I've gone through Farbar and RogueKiller; see attached reports.

 

Oddly, once the RK scan was complete I came straight here to reply before instructing RK to remove the detected files. However I found that I was unable to browse the internet at all, save for YouTube which I already had open in a tab from previously and seemed to work as normal. Eventually I gave up and hit "Remove Selected" which caused my computer to crash and restart.

 

In any case, it seems that RK found a culprit Powershell task.

RK Report.txt

Addition.txt

FRST.txt
