Massive RTP Detection

[enriquezcortes]

Hi, I installed trial version about 9 days ago, and i have a constantly RTP Detection notification messages, sometimes as trojan and other as "in danger".

However, when I analize the computer the scan is clear and the machine it's not infected.

Should I be worried? Or Should I do something?

Thanks for your time,

Enrique.

Thank you Maurice for your fast reply, yesterday I didn't post because an website bug that said me "your message contains a spam and it's blocked" or something like that

[Maurice Naggar]

Thanks for the report file.  It appears that you executed (chose) to do a 'clean' re-install of Malwarebytes.  May I ask why ?  I had only asked to Gather logs / just a report run.

Even so, the last Block event was just a IP block on IP   193.57.40.74

There were at least 2 others like that recently, same IP.

Run a new scan with Malwarebytes.
Start Malwarebytes from the Windows  Start menu.

Click Settings ( gear icon)   at the top right of Malwarebytes window.   We want to see the SETTINGS window.

Then click the SECURITY  tab.
Scroll down and lets be sure the line in SCAN OPTIONs for "Scan for rootkits" is ON
Click it to get it ON  if it does not show a blue-color

Now click the small X  to get back to the main menu window.

Click the SCAN button.
Select a Threat Scan ( which should be the default).

When the scan phase is done, be real sure you Review and have all detected lines items check-marked on each line on the left. That too is very critical.

Then click on Quarantine selected.

 

Be sure all items were removed.  Let it remove what it has detected.

Then, locate the Scan run report;  export out a copy;  & then attach in with your  reply.

Hi Maurice, the support tool repairs automatically my malwarebytes version, idk.

i'll attach you the report file with "scan for rootkits" ON. The report is clear

Thanks you for your time.

Enrique.

[Maurice Naggar]

Thanks for that report.  This is very good.   Just know that the Block notice just means that the web protection is keeping system safe from harm.  Lets just do a different scan with another tool.   

I would suggest a free scan with the ESET Online Scanner
Go to https://download.eset.com/com/eset/tools/online_scanner/latest/esetonlinescanner.exe

It will start a download of "esetonlinescanner.exe"
Save the file to your system, such as the Downloads folder, or else to the Desktop.

Go to the saved file, and double click it to get it started.

When presented with the initial ESET options, click on "Computer Scan".
Next, when prompted by Windows, allow it to start by clicking Yes
When prompted for scan type, Click on Full scan

Look at & tick  ( select )   the radio selection "Enable ESET to detect and quarantine potentially unwanted applications"   and click on Start scan button.
Have patience.  The entire process may take an hour or more. There is an initial update download.

There is a progress window display.
You should ignore all prompts to get the ESET antivirus software program.   ( e.g.  their standard program).   You do not need to buy or get or install anything else.
When the scan is completed, if something was found, it will show a screen with the number of detected items.  If so, click the button marked “View detected results”.
Click The blue “Save scan log” to save the log.

If something was removed and you know it is a false finding, you may click on the blue ”Restore cleaned files”  ( in blue, at bottom).
Press Continue when all done.  You should click to off the offer for “periodic scanning”.
 
 

[enriquezcortes]

Scan done. Clean too

The result of the ESET scan is very very good.

Unless you are actually using this machine to connect to another Windows' remote desktop,  then you ought to turn off the Remote Desktop setting, since that makes your machine a tempting target.

See   https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/92433-enable-disable-remote-desktop-connections-windows-10-pc.html

By turning off remote desktop, you lessen your machine's odds of being a tempting target for probers.
The bad guys seek out machines able to do remote desktop as being prime candidates.   Keep in mind these involve automated bots.
,
You can block one or more IP addresses in the Windows 10'  Windows Firewall
See   https://www.cm3solutions.com/block-ip-address-ip-range-using-windows-firewall/

You should block the IP 193.57.40.74

 

To get started go to Control Panel >>System and Security >> Windows Defender Firewall     and then on the left side list, click on Advanced Settings
then follow the example in the article cited above.

-  - - - - - -----------------------------

I  would recommend that if you have a internet-connection-router hardware at home,  that you look over this article
"How to Enable Your Wireless Router's Built-in Firewall"
https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-enable-your-wireless-routers-built-in-firewall-2487668

 

In most cases the attempted probes will automatically stop on their own. If it continues you can add the IP to the local firewall to prevent it from contacting the computer period.
If you wish to do so, here is one how-to guide for the Windows software firewall
https://www.interserver.net/tips/kb/add-ip-address-windows-firewall/

Additionally or alternatively, if this is on Windows 10 PRO  and if you do not need or use Remote Desktop,  you can turn that off.

Hi Maurice, thanks you for all your knowledge.

The remote control option was disabled, but I blocked the IP 193.57.40.74 following your link, thanks for that. Do you think it would be a problem to have a program like Teamviewer or AnyDesk installed? I have password to access to my direction, anyway, but if it's would be a problem i will uninstall automatically.

I also check my router firewall and it's turn on correctly.

 

Thanks you, for all of you are doing.

Enrique.

 

[enriquezcortes]

After I have blocked the ip  193.57.40.74 a notification warning me again, with the same IP Direction and Port...

 

[Maurice Naggar]

I can just suggest to add another firewall block for the same IP  for 'incoming'

As to your question on Teamviewer  or Anydesk......  why do you need them ?  If you need one or the other to do your work,  then go ahead.

[enriquezcortes]

Hi Maurice, I blocked the IP in both sides "Inbound Rules" and "Outbound Rules". I don't know how much more I can do...

 

This screenshot it is taked now

 

[enriquezcortes]

I blocked the port 445 and without success neither😔

[Maurice Naggar]

Keep in mind that screen grabs like that above does not provide full detail.  Tell me, did you disable Remote Desktop on this Windows ?

That I am curious about.

Beyond that, I need to make another reminder that the web protection of Malwarebytes is still keeping the pc safe from harm.

Another question:  At the moment of the Block notice, did you make note IF one of the web browsers was open ?

what was in active use at that moment ?

[enriquezcortes]

Yes, remote desktop from Windows 10 was deactivated by default.

Yes, Firefox was open. But in others situations it was closed and the notifications arrived at same way

[Maurice Naggar]

Delete all Cache files & browser history in Firefox.  See this Mozilla guide  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache

.

Just before pressing 'scan' on the Malwarebytes Adwcleaner program, I need for you to insure all web browsers are Closed.

I  would suggest to download, Save, and then run Malwarebytes ADWCLEANER.

Please close Chrome and all other open web browsers after you have saved the Adwcleaner and before you start Adwcleaner scan.

Adwcleaner  detects factory Preinstalled applications too!

 

Please download  Malwarebytes AdwCleaner  https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/adwcleaner
 

Be sure to Save the file first, to your system.  Saving to the Downloads folder should be the default on your system.

 

Go to the folder where you saved Adwcleaner. Double click Adwcleaner  to start it.

At the prompt for license agreement, review and then click on I agree.

 

You will then see a main screen for Adwcleaner. ( if you do not see it right away, minimized the other open windows, so you can see Adwcleaner).

Then click on Dashboard button.

Click the blue button "Scan Now".

 

allow it a few minutes to finish the Scan.   Let it remove what it finds.

NOTE:  When it comes to the section "

Pre-installed applications

 

You can skip that.

Please find and send the Adwcleaner "C" clean report.

In Adwcleaner, click the "Reports" button.  Look at the list of reports for the latest date & type "Clean".

Double Click that line & it will open in Notepad.   Save the file to your system and then Attach that with your reply.

 

That C clean report will be the one with the most recent Date and time at folder  C:\AdwCleaner\Logs

Thanks.  Keep me advised.

 

[enriquezcortes]

Hi Maurice, sorry for the delay in my answer, i did not see any notification.

 

I had installed ADWCleaner since 10 days ago.

I did what you said, i'll attach you the files, i have two reports, one from 10 days ago and today's report. I did delete my cache and cookies files before I do that, both scans was not found nothing.

 

AdwCleaner[S00].txt

AdwCleaner[S01].txt

 

Thank you for your time,

Enrique.

[Maurice Naggar]

Thank you for the 2 AdwCleaner scan reports.  There is no adware on this PC.  Previously, you had run some other scans and no malware is now present.

I would suggest to install the Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox onto your Firefox browser.

To get & install the Malwarebytes Firefox Browser Guard  extension. 

Open this link in your Firefox browser:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/malwarebytes/?src=search

Then proceed with the setup. 

Once installed, you will see the Malwarebytes logo appear to the right of your Firefox Browser search bar indicating it is installed.

User Guide for Malwarebytes Browser Guard can be found here: https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-3446

The Malwarebytes Browser Guard will keep your browser away from dodgy sites.
