I GOT A VBS VIRUS THAT CREATES A FILE CALLED sound.exe IN MY APPDATA AND IT PUTS A sound.vbs FILE IN MY STARTUP! 

 

THE SOURCE FOR THE VBS IS 

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If (fso.FileExists("C:\Users\sami\AppData\Roaming\sound.exe")) Then
    Dim objShell
    Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    objShell.Run("""C:\Users\sami\AppData\Roaming\sound.exe""")
    Set objShell = Nothing
End If

Choose Settings. at the bottom of the screen click the
"Show advanced settings..." link. Scroll down to find the Downloads section and click the Change... button. Select your desktop and click OK.

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.

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...

  • 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.

Thanks for those logs, continue with the following:

I see you have SandBoxie installed, make sure none of the tools/scans we use are in a sandboxed environment.....

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into. "Do not open that file"
NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Open FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or the folder it was ran from. Please post it to your reply.

Next,

Open Malwarebytes, select > "settings" > "protection tab"

Scroll down to "Scan Options" ensure Scan for Rootkits and Scan within Archives are both on....

Go back to "DashBoard" select the Blue "Scan Now" tab......

When the scan completes deal with any found entries... Then select "Export Summary" then "Text File (*.txt)" name that log and save , you can copy or attach that to your reply...

Please Do Not use your PC whilst the scan is in progress.... This scan is very thorough so may take several hours...

The Virus Removal Tool scans the following areas of your computer:

  • The Windows registry
  • All local hard drives, fixed and removable
  • Mapped network drives are not scanned.


Note: If threats are found in the computer memory, the scan stops. This is because further scanning could enable the threat to spread. You will be asked to click Start Cleanup to remove the threats before continuing the scan.

Let me see those logs in your reply, also tell me if there are any remaining issues or concerns..

Thank ou,

Kevin....

I always run the scanners I posted to double check system for secondary infections and infection remnants, is really up to you if you want to continue or not... Anytime I work with infected systems I find is always best to run a layered scan process to ensure the system is definitely clean....

Please let me know how you wish to progress, if you intend running the other scanners or want to finish up...

Regards,

Kevin...

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop.

Or use the following if first link is down:

Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator

Make Sure the following items are checked:

 
  • Remove disinfection tools <----- this will remove tools we have used.
  • Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created.
  • Reset system settings <--- this will reset any system settings back to default that were changed either by us during cleansing or malware/infection


Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed.

The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this.

Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted…
