XP anti Spyware 2011 - Plus I goofed

[leaper]

Hi,

I have a computer infected with the XP Anti Spyware malware. I got the cart ahead of the horse and found one of your fixes from a while back. I started running the fix and then got to the part that said "This fix is only for this person. Do not run it on your machine." Oh well, too late.

I ran WiNlOgOn first, uSeRiNiT second and Combo Fix last. Then I saw the note. Then I found your Forum. Now I need to know how much I have screwed up. I am hoping not too badly. The logfile from ComboFix is below. I did not run the script file. After I was infected and Mcafee couldn't or wouldn't help me I ran the registry tool in CCleaner and a full scan with Mcafee. I also ran the cleaner analyzer in CCleaner, but the files it said it was going to erase scared me so I did not run FixIt. I tried to restore to the day before I got the virus. That's all I can remember doing on my own. Any help will be appreciated.

[LDTate]

Logs will be closed if you haven't replied within 3 days

Please don't attach the scans / logs for these tools, use "copy/paste".

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.

Vista and Windows 7 users:

1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them

2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")

Stay with this topic until I give you the all clean post.

You might want to print these instructions out.

I suggest you do this:

XP Users

Double-click My Computer.

Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

Click the View tab.

Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types."

Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."

Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files."

Click Apply, and then click OK.

Vista Users

To enable the viewing of hidden and protected system files in Windows Vista please follow these steps:

Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.

Click on the Start button. This is the small round button with the Windows flag in the lower left corner.

Click on the Control Panel menu option.

When the control panel opens you can either be in Classic View or Control Panel Home view:

If you are in the Classic View do the following:

Double-click on the Folder Options icon.

Click on the View tab.

If you are in the Control Panel Home view do the following:

Click on the Appearance and Personalization link.

Click on Show Hidden Files or Folders.

Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.

Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide extensions for known file types.

Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.

Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.

I've been seeing some Java infections lately.

Go here and follow the instructions to clear your Java Cache

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/plugin_cache.xml

Next:

Note: Close all browsers before running ATF Cleaner: IE, FireFox, etc.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Download - ATF Cleaner

[leaper]

Hi,

I appreciate the quick reply.

I have followed the instructions in your reply.

1. I unchecked "hide file extentions for known file types"

2. I unchecked "Hide protected operating system files"

3. I cleared the Java Cache

4. I ran ATF Cleaner

5. I ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. The log file is below.

After running Combofix and before doing the things above I had been using my computer OK. I just tried a few things after running Anti-Malware and it seems to be running OK.

I have to go out of town for at least a week and will have no way to check my e-mail or the forums. If you have anything else that I need to do please understand it may take me a while to get back to you.

Thanks for your help.

Good job

The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

For XP:

• Click START run
  
• Now type f:\spyware doctor\ComboFix.exe /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.
  

For Vista / Windows 7

• Click START Search
  
• Now type f:\spyware doctor\ComboFix.exe /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.
  

If you used DeFogger

To re-enable your Emulation drivers, double click DeFogger to run the tool.

• The application window will appear
  
• Click the Re-enable button to re-enable your CD Emulation drivers
  
• Click Yes to continue
  
• A 'Finished!' message will appear
  
• Click OK
  
• DeFogger will now ask to reboot the machine - click OK
  

IMPORTANT! If you receive an error message while running DeFogger, please post the log defogger_enable which will appear on your desktop.

Your Emulation drivers are now re-enabled.

Here's my usual all clean post

To be on the safe side, I would also change all my passwords.

This infection appears to have been cleaned, but as the malware could be configured to run any program a remote attacker requires, it's impossible to be 100% sure that any machine is clean.

Log looks good

• Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
     
  2. Click once on the Security tab
     
  3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
     
  4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
     
  5. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
     
  6. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
     
  7. Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
     
  8. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
     
  9. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
     
  10. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
      
  11. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
      
  12. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
      
  13. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
      

  [*]Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week

  (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  [*]Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.

  Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.

  I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.

  Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

  [*]Using a secure browser plugin M86 SecureBrowsing makes it safe to search, surf and socialize online. This free browser plug-in displays security icons next to links on search engines and social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, so you'll know which pages are safe and which ones to avoid.
