discount_ice Posted January 2, 2018 ID:1195879 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I have a rather tricky rootkit im trying to deal with, no scanner including yours has been able to really find it other then rogue killer finding a problem with svchost (the ad serving portion), needless to say it immediately comes back after it supposedly cleaned. If i could find a file i wouldnt need to submit it because it would already be known of (so i figured), but what i do have is a dump of the infected svchost. It is chalk full of either keyloggers (or advertisements for im not sure) and some ip addresses that pulled up a security researchers tweet from a few days ago about a malvertising campaign. figured I might have someone take a look as I have no clue what im doing (only thing i do know is the contents are suspicious at best). thing is you dont want files that are 225 mb. How would you like me to submit it? i already uploaded it to a file storage website if you would like me to link it (rather not post it publicly though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted January 2, 2018 ID:1195907 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hello discount_ice and welcome to Malwarebytes, Can you PM me and give URL of storage site, i`ll upload from there myself... 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.htmlNote: 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. Let me see those logs in your reply.. Thank you, Kevin..

discount_ice Posted January 3, 2018 Author ID:1196110 Share Posted January 3, 2018 sent you a new dump too if thats any help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted January 3, 2018 ID:1196173 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Those dumps do not show any infection...? Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit from here Right click on the tool (select "Run as Administrator) to start the extraction to a convenient location. (Desktop is preferable) Open the folder where the contents were unzipped and run mbar.exe Follow the instructions in the wizard to update and allow the program to scan your computer for threats. Click on the Cleanup button to remove any threats and reboot if prompted to do so. Wait while the system shuts down and the cleanup process is performed. Perform another scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to verify that no threats remain. If they do, then click Cleanup once more and repeat the process. When done, please post the two logs produced they will be in the MBAR folder... mbar-log.txt and system-log.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
