Need Help removing Rootkit Agent!


Recommended Posts

Hello!

My antivirus software has detected and infection (Win32/Rootkit.Agent.OCL) in my company server. Could you please give me any tips on how to remove it?

I ran Farbar Recovery Scan Tool as instructed, files are attached. I couldn´t configure Farbar to generate the files in english (my OS is in Brazilian Portuguese), so if that is a a problem let me know so I can try again.

Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

So, I did what you instructed me and here is the result: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8d49a4e7f2ca1239311f6b1d69ebf3e95735da9e0cdfbe8235a28e256cbaf6c9/detection

Thanks for the update pedrobicalho, continue as follows:

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 when running FRST fix"
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.

  • 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.

Kevin,

Logs attached.

It´s strange because during the scan, my AV software detects the Rootkit with a message saying that Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit is trying to acess the file, than I get a message that the file was deleted. But the next time I boot the system, the Rootkit is still there. Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit didn´t detect anythig.

Kevin, logs are attached.

TDSSKiller found Rootkit.Boot.DarkGalaxy.a. I selected "cure" as instructed and got the message "Can´t cure MBR. Write standard boot code?". Selected "Yes" and then rebooted....during Windows load I got and error message on cmd screen.....but then everything loaded fine (and I got the impression that load time was a little faster).

Just ran my AV on boot sector, and everything was clean. I´ll post back after I run some other tests, but I think it worked!!

Thank you so much for your assistance Kevin!

Hello pedrobicalh,

Thanks for the logs and information update, its good to hear we`ve finally put this infection to the sword. I`m very surprised that MBAR (which we tried earlier) did not see it.. Yes please let me know how your system is responding after you`ve completed further checks. When you are happy all is ok we can clean up..

Regards,

Kevin..

Thanks for the update Pedro, good to hear your system is ok now. Continue to clean up...

The following are Portable and can be deleted from where they were saved:

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit
TDSSKiller


Also open C:\drive, any created logs files from TDSSKiller can be deleted..

Next,

Right click on FRST here: C:\Users\Administrador\Desktop\FRST64.exe and rename uninstall.exe when complete right click on uninstall.exe and select "Run as Administrator"

If you do not see the .exe appended that is because file extensions are hidden, in that case just rename FRST64 to uninstall

That action will remove FRST and all created files and folders...

Next,

Remove all System Restore Points: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/33593-delete-system-restore-points-windows-10-a.html#option2

Create clean fresh Restore Point: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-system-restore-point

Run Windows Disk Clean Up Utility - https://neosmart.net/wiki/disk-cleanup/

From there you should be good to go...

Next,

Read the following links to fully understand PC Security and Best Practices, you may find them useful....
