Antivirus System PRO - Arrrgh!


Recommended Posts

This afternoon I ran a quick scan, then a full scan. Three items were removed. (From the coffee house, as I can't connect with my personal computer at work.)

It seemed to have removed the ickyness.

When I got home and turned my laptop on it was back.

I ran a second full scan and then the Hijack This. That was very tricky. It was trying to block the program, but I was persistent and finally got it to install.

Results of all are below.

There is an icon in my system tray and a lot of pop ups saying my computer is infected. Along with a lot of lovely porn sites courtesy of IE.

Any help from you awesome people would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dottie

Hi dmccartney,

Rkill

Note: If your security software warns about Rkill, please ignore and allow the download to continue.

Please download Rkill.com ... by Grinler. Save it to your Desktop.

  1. Double click on the Rkill Desktop icon.
  2. A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.

Please leave Rkill on the Desktop unless instructed otherwise.

DO NOT REBOOT until completing the next stage.

Now please run Malwarebytes Antimalware again, update the definitions and then run a full scan.

Please post back the Malwarebytes scan log and a new HijackThis log

Hi dmccartney,

Rkill

Note: If your security software warns about Rkill, please ignore and allow the download to continue.

Please download Rkill.com ... by Grinler. Save it to your Desktop.

  1. Double click on the Rkill Desktop icon.
  2. A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.

Please leave Rkill on the Desktop unless instructed otherwise.

DO NOT REBOOT until completing the next stage.

Now please run Malwarebytes Antimalware again, update the definitions and then run a full scan.

Please post back the Malwarebytes scan log and a new HijackThis log

deltalima,

I can't use my personal computer from work. Pesky rules.

I will do all of the above when I get home tonight. It might be a bit late......

Thanks!

Greetings deltalima,

I've run everything as instructed. It *appears* that my laptop is OK. However, when I rebooted the system performed a checkdisk, afterwards it hour glassed for about 5-7 minutes before finally loading up. That was pretty scary.

Additionally, there are now a couple of things in my system tray that are not normally a part of the start up: Windows messenger (which I never, ever use) and my camera's software program.

Please let me know what you think and if there are any additional actions I should take.

Thanks,

Dottie

Hi dmccartney,

TFC (Temp File Cleaner)

  • Please download TFC to your desktop
  • Save any unsaved work. TFC will close all open application windows.
  • Double-click TFC.exe to run the program.
  • If prompted, click Yes to reboot.

NOTE: Save your work.TFC will automatically close any open programs, let it run uninterrupted. It shouldn't take longer take a couple of minutes, and may only take a few seconds. Only if needed will you be prompted to reboot.

Please let me know how the computer is running now.

dl~

I'm away from my (personal) computer until Sunday. I'll take this next step when I get home. Should I run another HJT or Kapersky scan in addition?

My computer seems to be back to normal. I do want to get everything icky off it altogether though.

You've been awesome! Thanks. :)

Hello deltalima,

I've run the TFC program. The computer was a bit slow booting up afterwards, but it seems to be OK now.

I would appreciate some advice about which anti-virus software I should use. I've seen quite a few recommendations from sites I found via this forum, and that just adds to the confusion. I'm currently running McAfee version 9.15.160 - it did not prevent the recent infection. I realize nothing is 100% fool proof, but I do want the most robust protection available. Any input would be most appreaciate.

I hope you had a magical weekend.

Cheers,

Dottie

Hi dmccartney,

Your computer is now clean. If you decide to replace McAfee then please ensure that it is fully removed before installing a new antivirus program by following these instructions

McAfee Cleanup

  • Click here to download the McAfee removal tool and save to a convenient location.
  • Close all McAfee windows and double-click MCPR.exe to run the tool.
  • Reboot the computer when "CleanUp Successful" appears to complete removal.

There are several good free antivirus programs available.

  1. Antivir PersonalEdition Classic- Superior detection, the "free" version has no email scan.
  2. avast! 4 Home Edition - Excellent detection, the freeware version includes email scanning.
  3. Microsoft Security Essentials ** - New, from Microsoft, with email scanning, easy to install, easy to use.
    ** Your PC must run genuine Windows to install Microsoft Security Essentials.

Installing a new AV product.

Do NOT unistall any existing anti-virus product yet!

  1. Download the new Anti-virus product to your computer.
  2. Save any work. Close all applications, especially your Internet connection.
  3. Uninstall any existing anti-virus product... Use the AV uninstall option if available.
  4. Reboot your computer, if not done during the uninstall.
  5. Install the new AV product... following installation instructions.
  6. Check for updates to the new AV product, if not done during install setup.
  7. Run a full scan of your computer.

If you have not done so already it may be worth purchasing a license for Malwarebytes Antimalware so that the realtime protection module can be enabled.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows XP or Vista then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.

You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

Windows XP System Restore Guide

Re-enable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

Update your AntiVirus Software and keep your other programs up-to-date

It is vital that you update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.

You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.

Secunia Software Inspector

F-secure Health Check

Security Updates for Windows, Internet Explorer & Microsoft Office

Whenever a security problem in its software is found, Microsoft will usually create a patch so that after the patch is installed, attackers can't use the vulnerability to install malicious software on your PC. Keeping up with these patches will help to prevent malicious software being installed on your PC. Ensure you are registered for Windows updates via Start > right-click on My Computer > Properties > Automatic Updates tab or visit the Microsoft Update site on a regular basis.

Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Here are some additional utilities that will enhance your safety

Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!

The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

Also, please read this great article by Tony Klein So How Did I Get Infected In First Place

Happy surfing and stay clean!
