[Inact]Redirected browser and anti virus disabled
« on: April 16, 2010, 12:31:15 PM »
I'm not sure of the name or location of the virus. What it is doing is causing problems logging on to the internet. Once I do manage to log on several things happen. When logging onto Ebay I get redirected to a page wanting personal info. This page has tons of spelling and grammar errors, so I know it's not real. I'll also on occasion get a program trying to run a virus scan. This mostly happens when logged into Myspace. Today I had a pop up window ask me for my credit card info to continue my transaction even though I wasn't making one at the time. This virus has also disabled my Norton AV program on several occasions along with disableing my Control Pannel. I re-installed the AV and ran the program, but it said it didn't find anything. The computer ran fine for about a week, then back to all of this. Now when I run my AV it makes it about halfway and locks up. I've also ran my Malwarebyte's program and it found a trojan, but unfortunately I didn't write the name down or save the file.

Here are my results from Hijack This:

hi

Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from  here or  here.
  • Extract the contents of the zipped file to your desktop
  • Double click GMER.exe. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please agree to do so
  • If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO
  • In the right panel, you will see several boxes that, by default, have already been checked. Please uncheck the following ...
    • IAT/EAT
    • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
    • Show All <--don't miss this one
  • Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish
  • Once the scan completes, click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "ark.txt"
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop
**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives.
Do NOT take any action on any of these "<--- ROOKIT" entries without proper guidance from an expert user.
I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.

I downloaded GMER and attempted to run it multiple times the last several days. It runs for about an hour then gives me the blue screen telling me the computer is starting a physical memory dump, so my computer is not going to let it finish. What now?

Please download Combofix and save to your desktop:

Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop
Close any open browsers.
Double click on combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
When it's finished it will produce a log.
Post the contents of the C:\ComboFix.txt into your next reply.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running.
That may cause the program to freeze/hang.

do you only have 1.5 Gigs free on your main drive ? If so, you need to increase this, otherwise it will cause a lot of issues.



Please download HelpAsst_mebroot_fix.exe and save it to your desktop.
Close out all other open programs and windows.
Double click the file to run it and follow any prompts.
If the tool detects an mbr infection, please allow it to run mbr -f and shutdown your computer.
Upon restarting, please wait about 5 minutes, click Start>Run and type the following bolded command, then hit Enter.

helpasst -mbrt

Make sure you leave a space between helpasst and -mbrt !
When it completes, a log will open.
Please post the contents of that log.


*In the event the tool does not detect an mbr infection and completes, click Start>Run and type the following bolded command, then hit Enter.

mbr -f

Now, please do the Start>Run>mbr -f command a second time.
Now shut down the computer (do not restart, but shut it down), wait a few minutes then start it back up.
Give it about 5 minutes, then click Start>Run and type the following bolded command, then hit Enter.

helpasst -mbrt

Make sure you leave a space between helpasst and -mbrt !
When it completes, a log will open.
Please post the contents of that log.

**Important note to Dell users - fixing the mbr may prevent access the the Dell Restore Utility, which allows you to press a key on startup and revert your computer to a factory delivered state. There are a couple of known fixes for said condition, though the methods are somewhat advanced. If you are unwilling to take such a risk, you should not allow the tool to execute mbr -f nor execute the command manually, and you will either need to restore your computer to a factory state or allow your computer to remain having an infected mbr (the latter not recommended).
I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.

Yes I do have only 1.5 Gigs free on my main drive and realize it's causing some of my issues with slowness, BSOD, etc. The good people of Sony partitioned my drive to have 13.9 gigs on C and 168 gigs on D, so my C drive filled up fast. A friend gave me a cd called Partion Magic to fix this, but I wanted to clear up my infection problems first. Is this ok?

I ran the Helpasst program. It ran, said it had completed and shut down. I then followed the instructions for what to do if it doesn't detect an mbr infection and here is my log:

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.

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.




    Run an online virus scan called Kaspersky from HERE.
      1. At the main page. Press on "
    Accept". After reading the contents.
    2. At the next window Select  Update. Allow the Database to update.
    Note: If prompted to run or update your Java, then follow the prompts to do so. Kaspersky requires Java to run.
    3. Once the Database has finished, under the Scan icon Select My Computer to start the scan. The scan may take a few minutes to complete.
    4. Select Scan Report.
    5. If any threats were found they will appear in the report
    6. Select "Save error report as"
    Then in the file name just type in kaspersky
    Under "save as type" select text .txt
    Save it to your Desktop.

    Copy and post the results of the Kaspersky Online scan. If no threats were found then report that as well.[/list]
    I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.
