Scan results from infected computer

Recommended Posts

Hi! I have noticed lately that Firefox is opening new tabs at random, containing ads like Registry Defender and various "Google" money schemes. I was able to find instructions from you all about various scans to run and such, and I would like to share the results.

First of all, I have been running Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware, and Avast, and none of these are picking up any threats other than cookies, which only Ad-Aware is picking up. I recently uninstalled AVG, as it was picking up "unavailable" viruses, and an internet search that I did suggested that that might mean that AVG itself was infected. I now suspect that it wasn't and that it alone was finding this issue.

Regardless ... I followed the basic steps that you all had posted in a forum, and I have a bunch of results to post for you. I have now run the GMER Rootkit Scanner five times, but it becomes unresponsive immediately after running, and I have been unable to save the results. I'm not sure what to do about that -- hopefully, the remainder of the scans will tell you something. Finally, I know that I was supposed to include "DDS.txt" in the body of this post, but my computer won't let me open the file ... so I just zipped it and attached it.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1

Link 2

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Here is a guide on how to disable them:
    Click me
    If you can't disable them then just continue on.
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt log in your next reply.

Hi! Thank you so much for your help. I just did everything specified in your previous post -- I was able to disable Avast and Ad-Aware, but I couldn't figure out how to disable Malwarebytes. I ran ComboFix, and I have attached the log.

It's my work computer that's having these issues, and I will be out of the office until Tuesday morning. If I hear back from you before then (I will check periodically from home), I will try to run by the office over the weekend and do what I need to do ... but if you don't hear from me until Tuesday, don't worry -- I will be back.

We have another office computer with the same popup/new tabs that I was getting. Would it be safe to repeat this process (once it's finished) on that computer?

Thanks again for your help -- I really appreciate it!

I did not realize that and have submitted a request for a price quote for my (very small) company. In the meantime, however, I am concerned that I was told it would take 3-4 business days to process my request, and it will obviously take longer than that to actually get the licenses. I'm assuming I should get a quote by Tuesday or Wednesday, but my computer has had all these steps taken along the way and needs to be functional on Tuesday ... is it safe to use in its current state? If not, is there a way to speed along the process of getting a quote for licenses from you guys?

Hi,

I believe you. You don't have the license yet, but I'll help you anyway. :)

Hi,

1. Close any open browsers.

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

3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

Hello again! You are my favorite person ever. I really appreciate your continuing to help me -- I still haven't heard anything about the license quotes, and I'm so glad that I can continue trying to fix this in the meantime. My husband is now following your instructions via remote log-in to the computer in question, so we're copying and pasting things -- I'm not sending them directly from the machine we're working on. I hope nothing has gotten lost in translation!

Here is the latest log:

Oh, and I forgot to mention that while my husband was putting the remote access thing on the computer this afternoon, he also ran Ad-Aware (I told him not to and didn't know he'd done it until much later ...) and quarantined several malicious items that it found. I don't know if that changed anything that would have shown up differently between the last log and this most recent one, but thought I'd let you know just in case it helped. Prior to the run today, Ad-Aware had not found anything (other than cookies) in months ...

Okay. I've run all three of those things and will copy and paste the results. As you'll see, ESET did find 2 threats, which I told it to delete (it had quarantined them). I have had my browser open all morning and have not gotten any of the popups. TFC rebooted my computer itself and did not leave a log.

I remembered that I've also disabled my CD emulation drivers with defogger -- will you tell me when to reverse that?

Thank you so much for all of your help!

Hi,

I remembered that I've also disabled my CD emulation drivers with defogger -- will you tell me when to reverse that?

You can do it now.

Your logs appear to be clean now. There is only a bit of cleanup that we will deal with in this post, as well as prevention from future infections. :P

Remove Combofix now that we're done with it.

  • Please press the Windows Key and R on your keyboard. This will bring up the Run... command.
  • Now type in Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. (Notice the space between the "x" and "/")
    CF_Uninstall-1.jpg
  • Please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
  • You will then recieve a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully once it's done uninstalling itself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • Download OTC to your desktop and run it
  • A list of tool components used in the Cleanup of malware will be downloaded.
  • If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OTC to reach the Internet, please allow the application to do so.
  • Click Yes to begin the Cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
  • You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder

  • Run JavaRa.exe, pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
  • Accept any prompts.
  • Open JavaRa.exe again and select Search For Updates.
  • Select Update Using Sun Java's Website then click Search and click on the Open Webpage button. Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keep a backup of your important files

Now, more than ever, it's especially important to protect your digital files and memories. This article is full of good information on alternatives for home backup solutions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Make proper use of your anti-virus and firewall

You should keep your anti-virus and firewall guard enabled at all times, don't shut them off unless there's a specific reason to do so.

Also, regularly performing a full system scan with your anti-virus program is a good idea to make sure nothing has slipped through your protection. Once every two weeks works well for many people. You can set the scan to run during a time when you don't plan to use the computer and just leave it to complete on its own.

Keep in mind that anti-virus programs are far from perfect. They don't protect you against every piece of malware that's out there, so don't trust them blindly. If an anti-virus reports a file as 'clean' then it's doesn't necessarily has to mean it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keep all your software updated

It is important to keep up on system updates from Microsoft by regularly checking their website at: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/, as these patch critical security vulnerabilities and help to keep you safe.

It's also important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws. FileHippo Update Checker is an extremely helpful program that will tell you which of your programs need to be updated. Java and Adobe Reader are two of the main security vulnerabilities. You can find the latest version of Java here, you will want the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) one. You can find the latest version of Adobe Reader here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use a safer web browser

Internet Explorer is not the most secure tool for browsing the web. It has been known to be very susceptible to infection, and there are a couple good free alternatives: Firefox and Opera. Both are excellent faster, safer, more powerful and functional free alternatives to Internet Explorer. It's definitely worth the short period of adjustment to start using one of these. If you wish to continue using Internet Explorer, it would be a good idea to follow the tutorial here which will help you to make IE much safer.

If you decide to use the Firefox browser, the McAfee SiteAdvisor add-on will nicely help to enhance your security. This add-on tells you whether the sites you are about to visit are safe or not. A must if you do a lot of Googling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some other security programs

It is wise these days to have a few security programs installed and running on your machine except from just an anti-virus and a firewall. I will list some of them.

  • A good anti-spyware program installed on your pc is very important to help remove any spyware that may have gotten on your computer. I highly recommend Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
  • SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  • MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. This prevents your computer from connecting to those sites in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Be careful

Having security programs installed is very helpful to you, but none of them have the gift of human thought. The best way to make sure you don't get infected is to exercise common sense. Be careful of what websites you visit - if a site looks suspicious, trust your instincts and get out of there. Be careful of what attachments you open in emails and files you download from websites - check them over carefully to make sure that you know what you're getting.

Using peer-to-peer programs (eg: LimeWire, BitTorrent, uTorrent, Kazaa) or downloading cracks and keygens is something else to avoid. These are the most common way to get infected. Malware writers use these programs to spread infections as it is the easiest way for them. The majority of infections we see in the Malware Removal forum are due to people using p2p programs to download cracks/keygens/warez. These are not only illegal, but will always contain some form of malware. You have no way of verifying that the things you download are legitimate or that they don't contain malware. Even with an up to date anti-virus and firewall, some of these things will still infect you. It is highly recommend that you uninstall all peer-to-peer programs. It just isn't worth it.

Other common ways of getting infected are dis-reputable sites forcing you to download and install a codec. Or viruses using Instant Messaging programs (Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger, AIM) to send a file claiming it to be "photos" from a friend, only for it to turn out to be a virus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slow computer?

If your computer begins to slow down in the future for no particular reason, your first step should not be to come to the malware forum. As your computer ages and is used, it's parts wear, files and programs accumulate, and its performance can decrease. To restore your computer's performance to its best possible level, follow the steps in this page written by malware expert Miekiemoes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll leave this thread open for a couple days in case you come across any lingering problems that need fixing, then I'll close it up. If you need it reopened for any reason just shoot me a PM. It's been a pleasure working with you, now best of luck!

Cheers,

Gammo :)

I have done everything that you recommended in your last post, and my computer seems to be working fine now. File Hippo found 10 updates, so that seems to have been much-needed! I have run Malwarebytes and AVG today, and neither one of them have found anything suspicious.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of your help. You seem to have solved the problem, and you did so quickly and clearly (the links that you provided in your posts took me directly to where I needed to be and were greatly appreciated). I have recommended this forum to several of my friends already!

Thank you so, so much. If you ever need anyone to fill out any sort of evaluation or go on record with all kinds of positive things to say, I'm your girl!

Take care, and thanks again for everything.
