Rogue.Antivirus2010

FightinTxAg · October 14, 2010

A bug is rerouting links (like Google search results) to urls. ESET NOD32 wouldn't find malware or virus, but ballons do appear with blocked websites, even when IE isn't open. Malwarebytes finds the Rogue.Antivirus2010, but doesn't seem to be able to effectively get rid of it.

Hello FightinTxAg! 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.
Follow my instructions step by step if there is a problem somewhere, stop and tell me.
Stay with the thread 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.
Keep me informed about any changes.

Your system is infected, because your antivirus protection is cracked and it's old version.

Step 1

Please, uninstall the following applications:

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - English, Fran?ais, Deutsch
Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional
ESET NOD32 Antivirus
NOD32 v3.0.642 FiX1.2 by TemDono (31 days remaining forever up

You can read, how to do this here:

Step 2

I suggest you to uninstall TuneUp Utilities 2008 . About these types of programs:

http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/reg...weaking_13.html

Step 3

Go into C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and you will see a file called mbam.exe Right click on it and drop down to Rename change the name to firefox.com From mbam.exe to firefox.com . Please, restart your computer.

Step 4

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):

Hi Borislav,

Thanks so much. I think with your help, I got the computer cleaned. Here is what I did:

STEP 1

I did everything you instructed, except I didn't uninstall Adobe Acrobat Professional. I don't have a backup disk, and it's an expensive program. So, I thought I'd see if I could get rid of the malware without dumping that software.

I did uninstall "ESET NOD32 Antivirus" and "NOD32 v3.0.642."

STEP 2

I uninstalled "Tuneup Utilities 2008," as you suggested.

STEP 3

I renamed mbam.exe to firefox.com

STEP 4

I restarted and ran a quick scan. It came out clean.

Then, I restared and ran a full scan. This time it found a Trojan.FakeAlert infection. I asked Malwarebytes to remove this.

I restarted again and ran a full scan that came back clean.

Then, I ran DDS.

Here is the DDS log:
