[Inactive] Can You Help with Spambot Removal?
« on: May 11, 2012, 11:50:45 AM »
I know you guys and girls are great in helping people remove actual viruses, and I hope you can help me with a new problem:

A few days ago I received an email in my Yahoo Inbox from a friend which only said "hi" in the subject line.  The body just said

"this is crazy check this out hxxp://www.tenews15.net/biz/?news=0721683"

Since I recognized my friend's email address and assumed it was safe, I clicked on the link, and it took me to some web page reporting on Work-at-Home ideas.  The next day, two other friends emailed me, saying they had received the same email from ME, which I didn't send.  

I had my free AVG do a whole-computer scan and it found no threats.  Is there any program I can run to get rid of the Spambot (if that's what I actually HAVE)?  I'm using Windows 7, IE, and a Dell Inspiron desktop.

Chances are fairly good that good that you do not have a spambot on your computer. Unless your internet connection is really slow lately.

Do you still have the e-mail that was sent to you? Can you get the e-mail that was sent to your friends? Not just the content, but I need the entire header (the part not normally seen). If everyone still has it, and you let me know which e-mail clients they are using, I can give you instructions on how to get me the headers so we can tell what the problem is.

If I am helping you and you don't hear from me for 24Hrs, send me a PM Please!

Just so that you know, I edited out e-mail address's and broke the link in the e-mail. I was going to have you do that, which is why I only asked if they were available. After looking at the headers, there is something hinky about them. We need to run some scans to make sure you are clean.

I am going to send you a Private message with some e-mail address's. Let me know if you know them.


Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
alternate download link 1
alternate download link 2

MBAM may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot''s Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you. Temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes.
  • Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
  • Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
  • When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
    • Update Malwarebytes'' Anti-Malware
    • Launch Malwarebytes'' Anti-Malware
    • Then click Finish.
    MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.
    • If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
    • If you encounter any problems while downloading the definition updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
    On the Scanner tab:
    • Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
    • Then click on the Scan button.
    • If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
    • The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
    • When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click ''Show Results'' to display all objects found".
    • Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
    Back at the main Scanner screen:
    • Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
    • The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows MBAM''s database version and your operating system.
    • Exit MBAM when done.
    Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.


    Also please run a DDS scan using these instructions.

    We need to see some information about what is happening in your machine.  Please perform the following scan:
    • Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links.  Save it to your desktop.
    • Double click on the DDS icon, allow it to run.
    • A small box will open, with an explaination about the tool.  No input is needed, the scan is running.
    • Notepad will open with the results.
    • Please copy and paste both logs into your next response. You may need more than one response.
    • Close the program window, and delete the program from your desktop.
    Please note:  You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run.  After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection.  Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet.

    First, if you post any more headers, please strip out the private e-mail address's. Posting e-mail address's in public is one sure way to get spam. I don't much care if you post your own e-mail address, as it will be your own fault, but I doubt if your friends would like more spam. Also, I really don't need any more headers. As they and you are both using the yahoo servers, there is no way to tell exactly where they came from, without yahoo's cooperation or a search warrant.

    Could Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware have removed the problem that caused your e-mail to be spammed from? Possibly. But more likely it just harvested the e-mail address's. The spam are going thru the yahoo servers so it is fairly impossible to tell if the problem is a utility on your computer doing the spamming, or if it just harvested your e-mail address book and is doing the spamming from outside your computer. You did have a lot of junk on your computer.  2 Trojans and 2 exploits. Between them they can do just about anything. You have lots of PUP's (potentially unwanted programs) and AdAware. Chances are non of them are responsible, but they could have evolved since last investigated.

    I have been doing some research into the emails, and it appears the exploit is JavaScript based, so I would like you to clear your java browser and then your other browser cache's using the two sets of instructions below.

    Your scan showed one of more viruses in your Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) cache. Delete those by clearing the JRE cache. To clear the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) cache:
    • Click Start > Control Panel.
    • Double-click the Java icon in the control panel.


    -The Java Control Panel appears.

    • Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files.


    -The Temporary Files Settings dialog box appears.

    • Click Delete Files.


    -The Delete Temporary Files dialog box appears.

    -There are three options on this window to clear the cache.
    • Delete Files
    • View Applications
    • View Applets
    • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files window.


    -Note: This deletes all the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the cache.

    • Click OK on Temporary Files Settings window.
    • Close the Java Control Panel
    You can view those instructions along with graphics Here



    1.Download and scan with CCleaner
    When you get to the website, there is a dark grey box on the left side with two tabs along the top. Inside this Dark Grey box is a light grey box. Below that light grey box is where the download links are at. The pay amount is for paid support.
    2. Before first use, select Options > Advanced and UNCHECK "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours"
    3. Then select the items you wish to clean up.
    In the Windows Tab:

      • Clean all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section except Cookies if you want to keep those.
      • Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section.
      • Clean all entries in the "System" section.
      • Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.
      • Clean any others that you choose.


      In the Applications Tab
        • Clean all except cookies in the Firefox/Mozilla section if you use it.
        • Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
        • Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
        • Clean any others that you choose.


        4. Click the "Run Cleaner" button.
        5. A pop up box will appear advising this process will permanently delete files from your system.
        6. Click "OK" and it will scan and clean your system.
        7. Click "exit" when done.




        But since you did have a couple Trojans, I would like you to run a combofix scan.

        * Anyone other than the originator of this thread, you would be best advised to not run combofix without guidance from someone trained in its use. It is a very powerful tool that can cause damage to your computer if used wrong.

        Run comboFix.exe. Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

        http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

        * Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix. Also make sure you close all your browsers just before the instructions tell you to start the scanner.

        Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

        Note:
        Do not mouseclick combofix''s window while it''s running. That may cause it to stall
