New, check HJT logs??

Hello,

When I downloaded the updated free version of MWB, Malwarebytes detected and removed an AVKill trojan from my computer. I knew something wasn't right-some things were a bit too slow, so when I saw this TROJAN yikes! I am a recent paid subscriber now, I also downloaded Start-up Lite and use that.

I run XP ie7 all updated, also use Mozilla. Today I updated to Avast 5 (free edition) from 4.8, just downloaded HiJackThis and did a scan.

I did a boot scan with Avast 5, it showed a few cab file corrupted in Windows/Software Distribution/Download files, this is a small file, and a Kodak Easyshare setup file was corrupted. I don't use Kodak Easyshare anymore so I deleted that.

Avast's interface shows what looks like "realtime" scanning results re web and file system shields, showing 1193 files as infected, Web shield shows 514. I did add Malwarebytes program in the exclusions for the File Systems Shield. I'm also guessing once I'd restart my computer, these numbers would drop.

Just wondering if coming to this site and doing web searches about the above mentioned Windows files, etc. might give false positives from Avast?

I did also notice it looks like Avast?? when I go to shut down or restart my computer would delay then say this program is not responding...can wait or cancel message.

I had this problem with what looked like a ju...message before the MWB purchase and A5 update

However, once I did the (free) scan with MLB, removed the Trojan, still had A4.8, that removal I could tell seemed to speed up my computer, my computer would shut down without hesitation.

Here is my HJT file, any comments on this file would be appreciated, thank you.

Elise,

I will get back to you with reports tomorrow at the latest, I work overnight and so will get back with this tomorrow, thank you for the information.

Another thing-and this is weird---something about it shows in the otl report. I was on my computer, all of a sudden I get a message that I had less than 2% disc space. I do photography, have 3 folders from my 2 different cameras and it looked like I had a folder in a Local Settings\Temp folder-looked like something "moved" the photo filess-I'm talking local landscapes, family, pets, bit of astrophotography, and maybe my documents or ?? God knows what else-this "folder" was 25.+GB, I mean all of a sudden this happened, like in an instant. Avast has blocked intrusions from my computer before. I'm wondering if the AVKill Trojan might have "moved" that stuff? That's crazy. I made sure I had my pics backed up on my portable hard drives, then deleted that file. It was too big to go through the recycle bin, so it was deleted I guess without going through the system.

I'll get back with more info tomorrow, I really appreciate your help and time.

Regards,

Kerry

Elise,

Here are the 3 reports, the Rootkit report did mention I "might have root (kit?) activity!"

I looked again at Avast's interface, I mistakenly mentioned in my initial post where I mention the 1193 & 514 "realtime"/web scanned files as infected, those were actually TOTAL SCANNED, I had read it wrong, sorry...:)

Many thanks, Kerry

Hi, RKU doesn't show a rootkit fortunately. :)

COMBOFIX

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

Please download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Bleepingcomputer
ForoSpyware

  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. (Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive.)
  • Double click on Combofix.exe and 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, or if you are running Vista, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Query_RC.gif

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

RC_successful.gif

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

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

Elise, no need to apologize for "the delay", as I thought the reply was pretty fast :) . I think I can speak for more than a few on "our side" of the forum: That you and your peers do this service for "us" is commendable and shows a kind and generous spirit, that we might remember and use in our daily walk of life.

Cheers,

Kerry

The full scan from mbam had nothing detected, but did notice these identical listings in the ignore list:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center|Bad: [1] Good:[0]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center|Bad: [1] Good:[0]

All in all, it looks like the temporary files were cleaned up a bit.

Can you please un-ignore those items and then run an MBAM quick scan and remove detected? This setting is a disabled security center warning, which is usually related to malware so you won't see the warning that for example your AV isn't working properly. In your case, I think it is just a leftover. :)

What problems do you still have left at this point.

I did un-ignore the items, did a fast scan, nothing turned up in the scan. My computer is not hanging when shutting down.

I wanted to check for malware/rootkit?/something in the registry "things", you tend to wonder after having removed viruses, Avast having "gone off" with the alarm, virus chested then deleted, if there is something still in there.

And sorry if I reply a bit haphazardly, working overnight tends to shorten my day schedule at times.

Regards,

Kerry

At this point things are looking quite good. Can you please post a new OTL log to check for leftovers?

Here's the OTL, the ESET scan had no report. After my reply about not having trouble shutting down, I go to shut down and it did hang, had Avast as the logo, it has also shut down with the MALB logo.

I've had this laptop since 1995, 80GB, 1.5Mgz Pentium M, 2G mem, using 40.9G space. So it may not be fast like what is out there now but it's faster than the original laptop I had-think it had 50mb of ram-older Toshiba Satellite :) I will free up about 12GB-files already backed up but want to burn some to CDs. That'll take time, will have to do little by little...

Hi, it is possible that this is simply due to age, so to say. :) Every piece of hardware will have quirks sooner or later. I see no signs of anything that could cause this.

ALL CLEAN

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

Your machine appears to be clean, please take the time to read below on how to secure the machine and take the necessary steps to keep it clean :)

Please do the following to remove the remaining programs from your PC:

  • Delete the tools used during the disinfection:
    • Click start > run and type combofix /uninstall, press enter. This will remove Combofix from your computer.
    • Rerun OTL and click the Cleanup button. Allow a reboot. This will remove all logs and tools we used.

Please read these advices, in order to prevent reinfecting your PC:

  1. Install and update the following programs regularly:
    • an outbound firewall
      A comprehensive tutorial and a list of possible firewalls can be found here.
    • an AntiVirus Software
      It is imperative that you update your AntiVirus Software on regular basis.If you do not update your AntiVirus Software then it will not be able to catch the latest threats.
    • an Anti-Spyware program
      Malware Byte's Anti Malware is an excellent Anti-Spyware scanner. It's scan times are usually under ten minutes, and has excellent detection and removal rates.
      SUPERAntiSpyware is another good scanner with high detection and removal rates.
      Both programs are free for non commercial home use but provide a resident and do not nag if you purchase the paid versions.
    • Spyware Blaster
      A tutorial for Spywareblaster can be found here. If you wish, the commercial version provides automatic updating.
    • MVPs hosts file
      A tutorial for MVPs hosts file can be found here. If you would like automatic updates you might want to take a look at HostMan host file manager. For more information on thehosts file, and what it can do for you,please consult the Tutorial on the Hosts file

[*]Keep Windows (and your other Microsoft software) up to date!

I cannot stress how important this is enough. Often holes are found in Internet Explorer or Windows itself that require patching. Sometimes these holes will allow an attacker unrestricted access to your computer.

Therefore, please, visit the Microsoft Update Website and follow the on screen instructions to setup Microsoft Update. Also follow the instructions to update your system. Please REBOOT and repeat this process until there are no more updates to install!!

[*]Keep your other software up to date as well

Software does not need to be made by Microsoft to be insecure. You can use the Secunia Online Software occasionally to help you check for out of date software on yourmachine.

[*]Stay up to date!

The MOST IMPORTANT part of any security setup is keeping the software up to date. Malware writers release new variants every single day. If your software updates don't keep up, then the malware will always be one step ahead. Not a good thing.

***********************

I will go ahead and delete ComboFix, I'll tell you I like OTL for cleaning.

I've downloaded the "free" version of ZoneAlarm two different times in the past for an outgoing firewall. I'd hope that if I'd ~~~leave it alone~~~ on default settings that those would be good enough to protect my pc but then all those settings...

I had Spybot, that seemed to bog my computer, took that off a while back-it did not seem to find much (maybe at the time I did not have anything). I've already checked some of your recommended links, will definitely read through them.

I will get an outgoing firewall. When I'd gotten the warning that my pc had dropped to under 2gb available disc space-and I found 25+ GB of files had moved-I mean instantly-have you ever heard of that?? That was crazy, I thought something was up.

I appreciate all your help-I'll get the ComboFix un-installed and run OTL again as mentioned.

I have dial-up. I know, dinosaur :blink:

It looks like I still have some remnants from ZA in my registry so I was thinking of getting that again.

Thank you again for all your time and effort, I appreciate it. You all ROCK.

Regards,

Kerry

In that case you will indeed need a third party firewall. If you like ZA, you can install that, however lately ZoneAlarm has been using some scare techniques to try to convince clients to purchase the paid version by showing fake warnings.

Unfortunately there are not many good free firewalls, I usually recommend Onine Armor

Unless you have any other questions, I will request this topic to be closed. :blink:
