Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 4:30:15 AM, on 16/02/2009 Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP3 (6.00.2900.5512) Boot mode: Normal
while searching online on how to remove the malware i came across sites citing that it worked then i downloaded it before reading the do not use unless authorized to do so disclaimer. it is sitting on my desktop.
Please delete the copy on your desktop. It updates frequently so if we need to use it, I will have you use the most current copy downloaded from a source that has been approved by the developer of the tool.
We'll need to disable Spyware Doctor so it does not interfere with any of our procedures.
To disable Spyware Doctor from running on your system startup:
1. First, disable the OnGuard Tools. This way, when you exit Spyware Doctor, these tools won't stay resident in the background.
2. Click the "Settings" button on the left side.
3. Click the "Startup Settings" link.
4. Uncheck "Run at Windows Startup".
5. Click the "Apply" button. Exit by a right-click on the "Spyware Doctor" icon in the system tray and choose "Exit".
[To enable Spyware Doctor when you are finished, open the program, Settings>Startup Settings> CHECK "Run at Windows Startup">APPLY Exit. Reboot.] To disable PCTools Browser Monitor: If you are running Internet Explorer, click Tools > Manage Add-ons.
If PCTools Browser Monitor is on the list, click it & select Disable. You will need to restart your browser after making the change.
We need to see some additional information about what is happening in your machine.
Download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links. Save it to your desktop.
A small box will open, with an explanation about the tool.
Click Yes at the prompt for Optional Scan.
When done, DDS will open two (2) logs
1. DDS.txt 2. Attach.txt
Save both reports to your desktop.
Copy/paste both logs to your reply on the forum.
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. Information on A/V control HERE.

I think the best scenerio to me is to boot to a PE type disc like UBCD or BartPE or any other flavor you like and to use it to search through the
Systemdrive (i.e. C:\), Systemroot (i.e. C:\windows or C:\winnt), and Systemroot\system32 directory. When searching you will need to search based on "Last Modified Date" and scroll all the way to the bottom until you see items created in the past 2-3 days. You will notice random-named .dll's and .exe's and such and these will need to be deleted! But to be safe than sorry you can create an infected folder and move the files in there for later scanning. :emotion-5:
While still in the PE bootdisk you should run AutoRuns and check what is currently enabled to start up - also you could run HiJackThis, but I think A-squared's HiJackFree program is better suited for PE use. You will want to look for any entries that may look simliar to the ones in the System and System32 directory (i.e. fxxyddz.dll and so on) and remove these as well as any unusal looking start up items loading out of the Documents and Settings profile user (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\ \Local Settings\suspicious.exe).
You can run any Antivirus and Antispyware software that comes with the PE discs if you have any - as this is a perfect enviroment for removing infections. After this you need to reboot back into windows and try these things --
1. Run VundoFix , observe any messages and logs and reboot!
2. Run Windows Update and get the most recent MRT.exe (Malicious Software Removal tool) and run it by opening up a command prompt (start -> run ->CMD.exe) and typing MRT.exe , now do a Full System Scan. Observe any message or log files and reboot.
3. Install SuperAntiSpyware or Malware Bytes AntiMalware, Update, and Run Full system Scan and observe.
4. Reboot and now re-enable Spyware Doctor, Update, and Full System Scan.
You can also download individual removal tools for popular threats from vendors websites - I will post them below. They are good for removing variants of like Vundo and such, they are good for double checking. Also Last buy not Least do Online Virus scans!!!
Although we appreciate his trying to help, please be aware that mtx8000spl is not listed as a graduate of the malware removal schools that we contacted. It is understood by the trained analysts that once a helper replies to a log, he continues working with you until the issue is resolved.
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 updates,
manually download them fromhere and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install. Alternatively, you can update through MBAM's interface from a clean computer, copy the definitions (rules.ref) located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from that system to a usb stick or CD and then copy it to the infected machine.
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 along with a fresh hijackThis log into your next reply and exit MBAM.
Note:-- If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.
-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.

REBOOT
Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. It is possible that you may be running Java code in your applications that absolutely require a specific version of the JRE to run.
Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.
Scroll down to where it says Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12 .
Click the "Download" button to the right.
Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
NOTE: As always during installations, beware of any pre-checked option to install a toolbar. If you do not want it, UNcheck it.
The page will refresh.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each of the Java versions. Close Add/Remove.
* In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Java =this folder. Delete any subfolders. * Do NOT delete C:\Program Files\ JavaVM =this folder, if found!
Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.
Finally please post a fresh HijackThis loga and let me know how things are running. Are you getting any alerts, adware popups, or error messages?
