Hello AsmoAD! Welcome to MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware Forums!

My name is Borislav and I will be glad to help you solve your problems with malware. Before we begin, please note the following:

• The process of cleaning your system may take some time, so please be patient.
  
• Stay with the topic until I tell you that your system is clean. Missing symptoms does not mean that everything is okay.
  
• Instructions that I give are for your system only!
  
• If you don't know or can't understand something please ask.
  
• Do not install or uninstall any software or hardware, while work on.
  

Step 1

Please, uninstall the following applications:

1. Adobe Acrobat 5.0
   

You can read, how to this here:

• Windows XP
  
• Windows Vista
  
• Windows 7
  

Step 2

Please go into the Control Panel, Add/Remove and for now remove ALL versions of JAVA

Then run this tool to help cleanup any left over Java

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.

Please download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.

***Please close any instances of Internet Explorer (or other web browser) before continuing!***

• Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program.
  
• From the drop-down menu, choose English and click on Select.
  
• JavaRa will open; click on Remove Older Versions to remove the older versions of Java installed on your computer.
  
• Click Yes when prompted. When JavaRa is done, a notice will appear that a logfile has been produced. Click OK.
  
• A logfile will pop up. Please save it to a convenient location and post it back when you reply
  Then look for the following Java folders and if found delete them.
  C:\Program Files\Java
  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java
  C:\Windows\Sun
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Java
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sun\Java
  C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Java
  C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java
  

Step 3

Your database version of MBAM is 4052 , but the current is 4170 , so please:

• Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  
• Go to "Update" tab and select "Check for Updates". If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  
• Go to "Scanner" tab and select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  
• The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.
  

Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.

In your next reply, please include these log(s) in this sequence:

1. JavaRa log
   
2. MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware log
   
3. a new fresh DDS log only

I searched for those Java folders and I deleted one in C:\program files but I do not appear to have a "documents and settings" folder in the C drive. Thanks again.

Please active Show hidden files and folders option and let me know.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/h...iddenfiles.mspx

[AsmoAD]

I have activated hidden folders and there is still no documents and settings folder. I did a search for java and the only thing it came up with, aside from files about JavaRa, was a file called "Jre-6u16-windows-i586-iftw" and it has the Java icon. Should I do anything with this file?

[Maniac]

No, you shouldn't. Now:

**Note: If you need more detailed information, please visit the web page of ComboFix in BleepingComputer. **

Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.

Stay with me until given the 'all clear' even if symptoms diminish. Lack of symptoms does not always mean the job is complete.

Kindly follow my instructions and please do no fixing on your own or running of scanners unless requested by me or another helper.

Please download ComboFix from

Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved and renamed following this process directly to your desktop**

1. If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:
   
   • Open Tools -> Options -> Main tab
     
   • Set to Always ask me where to Save the files.
     

[*]During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:

[*]It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.

[*]Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.

[*]Close any open browsers.

[*]Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

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

• Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause unpredictable results.
  
• Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
  

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

  
  

• Close any open browsers.
  
• WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
  
• Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
  
• If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
  

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

[*]Double click on combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.

[*]When finished, it will produce a report for you.

[*]Please post the C:\Combo-Fix.txt for further review.

**Note: Do not mouseclick combo-fix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

Good!

Please manually delete the following folder:

c:\users\GOODKELL\AppData\Local\whqowupsd

Let me know how are things running now.

[AsmoAD]

Everything seems good so far today. Thanks for helping me out. McAfee is not turning itself off, I can navigate to the windows update page again and I haven't noticed any unwanted popups. I shall barrack for Manchester United in your honour.

P.S, what do you think of mIRC? I would like to download this program but not if it will compromise my computer.

[Maniac]

P.S, what do you think of mIRC? I would like to download this program but not if it will compromise my computer.

Until 3-4 years ago I was a regular user of mIRC. I have great memories from there! However, there is also dangerous, so be careful if you use it.

[AsmoAD]

Ok thanks for the advice. A couple of questions:

1) Should I use defogger to re-enable whatever I turned off?

2) Do you think it would be safe to do internet banking from my computer?

3) I have noticed that there is a loud humming noise coming from the computer for a while now. The performance is still very good though, and the noise tends to come and then stop very suddenly. Do you think this is anything to be concerned about? Could it be related to this problem?

[Maniac]

1) Sorry about that!

To enable CD Emulation programs using DeFogger please perform these steps:

1. Please download DeFogger to your desktop.
   
2. Once downloaded, double-click on the DeFogger icon to start the tool.
   
3. The application window will now appear. You should now click on the Enable button to enable your CD Emulation drivers
   
4. When it prompts you whether or not you want to continue, please click on the Yes button to continue
   
5. When the program has completed you will see a Finished! message. Click on the OK button to exit the program.
   
6. If CD Emulation programs are present and have been enabled, DeFogger will now ask you to reboot the machine. Please allow it to do so by clicking on the OK button.
   

Delete it when you're ready.

2) Yes, you can banking from your computer, but I suggest you to change your passwords for sure.

3) These sounds I guess that comes out of the box, it means that the problem is hardware and nothing to do with that which I fixed.

[AsmoAD]

Sorry Borislav, one last question I forgot to ask:

Should I change my bank passwords from another computer?

[Maniac]

No, you shouldn't.

[AsmoAD]

Sorry, I'm back

I just noticed that I had 2 instances of iexplore.exe in the task manager even though I didn't have any Internet Explorer windows open. Any suggestions? I've been very careful with my browsing lately too.

[Maniac]

iexplore.exe is the main executable of the Internet Explorer browser from Mircosoft.

Post a new fresh DDS log.

[AsmoAD]

Thanks. I was mostly worried that those processes were there when I had no Internet Explorer windows open.

I see nothing strange, these processes are not running. I recommend you change your antivirus program, because this is not reliable.

Uninstall your McAfee and choose one from here:

Download, install and perform a full scan.
