I was asked to look at a computer for a friend. It was fully infected, of course. The major virus was the "Live PC Care" malware. I was able to install Malwarebytes and Avast Antivirus. However, I was unable to update either. I ran full system scans on both programs and removed all infections found. Was still unable to access internet thru IE8 or update either program. I manually updated each and rescanned. I followed the below quoted advice to no avail.

That being the case, I followed the advice and the link provided to the "I'm infected" link and followed thru those directions. I have attached the logs from MBAM(2 were disinfections and 2 were post disinfection), DDR and GMER in a zip file.

Windows Update, Yahoo Messenger and MySpace IM all connect fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The computer is an e-Machine EL1200-07w, Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit w/SP2, AMD Athlon 2650e 1.6 GHz, 2 Gig RAM.

I will be happy to provide and additional info you require.

Thanks,

Steve

  • Note: If you do not see Tools, press the Alt key on your keyboard and it will show up
  • Click on the Connections tab
  • Click on the LAN settings button
  • Under Automatic configuration make sure that the box next to Automatically detect settings is checked, if it is not, then click the box next to it to check it
  • Click on the OK button to close the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window
  • Click on the OK button to close the Internet Options window
  • Use this diagram as a guide
  • Try updating Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware again and if it does not work then please proceed to Step 02

STEP 02

Disable Internet Explorer Proxy Settings and Reset TCP/IP

It is very important that these steps be carried out exactly as shown otherwise the fix will not work.

If you have any questions please ask before moving on.

  • Please start Notepad and using your mouse make sure you select and copy all the information below in the Code box into your new document.
  • Then save the file as "fixme.bat" to your Desktop - The .bat extension is important
  • In the drop down box for Save as type: make sure you select All Files (*.*) and keep the quotes on the name as well. Then close the new file.
    @ECHO OFF
    reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /f
    reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyOverride /f

    reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v GlobalUserOffline /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt


  • On Windows XP you can double-click the file to run it.
  • On Vista/Win7 you need to Right click the file and choose Run as administrator to run it. With User Account Control on it should ask permission to run it. Click Yes

Hello Borislav!

I began following your instructions. I uninstalled Limewire and Adobe Reader. I uninstalled the Java versions in the Add/Remove list, Unzipped the JavaRa program to the desktop and ran it. JavaRa got to the point of telling me it created a log file in the main folder over the drive, said it would open the log, but nothing came up. I searched the hard rive and there was no log named JavaRa.log. Did I miss a step?

Thanks for your help!

Steve

OK.....proceeding with the instructions, I searched and deleted the listed directories.

When I run the renamed mbam file, it comes up, but still gets the same error when trying to update. "MBAM_ERROR_UPDATING (12029, 0, WinHttpSendRequest)"

I'm not sure if this is significant, but the window title does not read "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware." It reads "250397"

Also, I am not sure if I mentioned, but I am using a wired connection, not wireless.

I have zipped and attached the MBAM log and the DDS log.

Thanks,

Steve

No problem, go ahead. :(

In reading thru these posts, I tried a couple things. The first was to disable the firewall temporarily to determine if that was the cause. It was not. I rebooted in safe mode w/networking and was able to perform all the functions that I was not able to prior. This also told me it was not specific to MBAM. I then uninstalled Avast Anti-virus. After that, eveything worked. I'm not sure if it was a damaged install, but after several reboots, I reinstalled it from fresh files and it is working beautifully. I am able to reach the update servers for Avast and MBAM, Internet Explorer is bringing up all pages I have tried.

One other question I have. This machine runs a program called "BigFix." Is there any drawbacks to uninstalling this? I have read that it is a resource hog and that it is no longer supported. So does it do any good to have it?

Thanks,

Steve

Here are some recent common posts. Please review them to see if they help.

  1. Please see the following post
  2. Please see the following post
  3. Please see the following post

Try adding data-cdn.mbamupdates.com to your allowed/trusted sites for your firewall

After the reinstall of Avast, the computer seems to be acting just fine. I believe that the install of Avast, for whatever reason was either corrupt or did not complete the way it should. And this seems to be what the issue was when trying to get updates and Internet Explorer to work.

Were the lo0gs that I sent you clean of virus and malware? If so, I would assume that the problem has been corrected and this young lady can have her computer back!!

Thanks for all yoour help and if I need to send you some final logs to verify, I will be more than happy to do so.

Steve

Of course you can, Steve.

I'm not sure what you want to told me.... is it okay now?

Please download to your Desktop: Dr.Web CureIt

  • After the file has downloaded, disable your current Anti-Virus and disconnect from the Internet
  • Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file, then click the Start button, then the OK button to perform an Express Scan.
  • This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it.
  • Once the short scan has finished, Click on the Complete scan radio button.
  • Then click on the Settings menu on top, the select Change Settings or press the F9 key. You can also change the Language
  • Choose the Scanning tab and I recomend leaving the Heuristic analysis enabled (this can lead to False Positives though)
  • On the File types tab ensure you select All files
  • Click on the Actions tab and set the following:
    • Objects Infected objects = Cure, Incurable objects = Move, Suspicious objects = Report
    • Infected packages Archive = Move, E-mails = Report, Containers = Move
    • Malware Adware = Move, Dialers = Move, Jokes = Move, Riskware = Move, Hacktools = Move
    • Do not change the Rename extension - default is: #??
    • Leave the default save path for Moved files here: %USERPROFILE%\DoctorWeb\Quarantine\
    • Leave prompt on Action checked

    [*]On the Log file tab leave the Log to file checked.

    [*]Leave the log file path alone: %USERPROFILE%\DoctorWeb\CureIt.log

    [*]Log mode = Append

    [*]Encoding = ANSI

    [*]Details Leave Names of file packers and Statistics checked.

    [*]Limit log file size = 2048 KB and leave the check mark on the Maximum log file size.

    [*]On the General tab leave the Scan Priority on High

    [*]Click the Apply button at the bottom, and then the OK button.

    [*]On the right side under the Dr Web Anti-Virus Logo you will see 3 little buttons. Click the left VCR style Start button.

    [*]In this mode it will scan Boot sectors of all disks, All removable media, and all local drives

    [*]The more files and folders you have the longer the scan will take. On large drives it can take hours to complete.

    [*]When the Cure option is selected, an additional context menu will open. Select the necessary action of the program, if the curing fails.

    [*]Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the files.

    [*]This will move it to the %USERPROFILE%\DoctorWeb\Quarantine\ folder if it can't be cured. (in this case we need samples)

    [*]After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list

    [*]Save the report to your Desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv

    [*]Close Dr.Web Cureit.

    [*]Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.

    [*]After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously to your Desktop in your next reply with a new hijackthis log.
