Found (and hopefully) deleted some malware, now what?


Recommended Posts

I'm extremely new to the forum, I apologize if any of this seems all over the place.

 

Recently I got hacked on an online game I play, and naturally I was concerned about my computer's security being at risk. Not wanting to have it happen again, I purchased Malwarebytes premium and after a scan, nothing came up. Feeling happy, I went to bed. Today, I saw that two days ago there was an exploit blocked, as shown here: 

https://gyazo.com/01f741020b377f808e7db3f07653a021 and https://gyazo.com/64bd715cffb0b5a47f52b52f51f241d6

 

 

After a minute or two of searching and finding where exactly the exploit came from, I saw that it was located in my %APPDATA% folder, and I was deeply disturbed to see a folder called 'htb' that was recently modified. After a quick look-through of the pictures, text documents, and .jar files within, I was and still am DEEPLY disturbed to see random screengrabs of my desktop and monitors, many .txt files containing each and every password/username combo I have ever used, as well as a very in-depth keylogger on any apps/games/sites that I had visited. I quickly deleted all of the files that were there, ran another scan (which wouldn't really do much as the first exploit wasn't detected in the first place) and I have been going through my computer's files to see if there is anything else like it located on my computer; so far, no results.

 

My question I suppose is, what i s the next step, or any further steps I can take to ensure I am protected completely? Thank you in advance.

Hello @MrSneaks and :welcome:

Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.

STEP 01

  • If you're already running Malwarebytes 3 then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
  • If you don't have Malwarebytes 3 installed yet please download it from here and install it.
  • Once installed then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
  • Once the scan is completed click on the Export Summary button and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find, and attach that log on your next reply.
  • If Malwarebytes won't run then please skip to the next step and let me know on your next reply.

STEP 02

Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop.

  • Right-click on the program and select RunAsAdmin.jpg Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  • Accept the Terms of use.
  • Wait until the database is updated.
  • Click Scan Now.
  • When finished, please click Clean & Repair.
  • Your PC should reboot now if any items were found.
  • After reboot, a log file will be opened. Copy its content into your next reply.

 

RESTART THE COMPUTER Before running Step 3

STEP 03
Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press the Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've, run the tool before you need to place a check mark here.
  • Please attach the Additions.txt log to your reply as well.

 

Thanks

Ron

Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system.

Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach or post it to your next reply.

Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.

fixlist.txt

Thanks

Ron
