8 Step Process Results - Still having problems

Status
Not open for further replies.
Still can't search using google or yahoo. I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. The cursor keeps moving when I'm typing so the words get jumbled up. Sometimes the letter keys don't work so you have to push them twice. It took me a long time to type this correctly. Hopefully the log files are attached.
 
Welcome to TechSpot, Jules. I'll helkp you sort through the malware. You have several different malware infections. You host files have also been hijacked.

Please download ComboFix HERE:
  • With ComboFix, at the download window, please rename it to Combo-Fix(.exe) before downloading it.
  • Please disable all security programs, such as antiviruses, antispywares, and firewalls. Also disable your internet connection.
  • Run Combo-Fix.exe and follow the prompts.
    (Understand that things like your system clock changing and your desktop disappearing might happen. Do not worry, because all will be restored later.)
  • Wait for the scan to be completed.
  • If it requires a reboot, please do it.
• After the scan has completed entirely, please post the log here. The log will be located at C:\ComboFix(.txt)

Notes:

  • 1.Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
    2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
    3. Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you -- please tell your helper.
    4. CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

When you have finished, rescan with HijackThis and paste that new log in your next reply.

Attach the Combofix report.
 
Some more log files

Thanks for the feedback. I have attached the log files for Combofix. Hijack this gave an error message so I attached a picture of it. Still having lots of problems.

Jules

Still can't search using google or yahoo. I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error.

I should have asked for the history on this. Did you get help somewhere else originally?

Let's try this:

Please reopen HijackThis to 'do system scan only'. Check each of the following entries if present: (for the 01 entries, all of your searches are being directed to IP 94.247.2.216, which belongs to the European Regional Registry. So matter what you put in the Google or Yahoo search, you will be taken there)

New Files

Thanks for the help so far, it seems to be working. I originally had the antivirus plus or pro or something virus. I used smitfraudfix to get rid of the virus and tried using malwarebytes. I got fed up trying to fix it and bought a new PC. I just recently decided to have another go at fixing it when I came across your 8 step plan.

The cursor is still jumping about the screen when I type but I can now search on google and yahoo so at least I'm getting somewhere.

Here is the logfile from hijackthis. The combofix report file is attached. I still get the error message when I run hijackthis.

I used smitfraudfix to get rid of the virus

This is most likely what got you into trouble.

c:\windows\LastGood on 2009-11-04 04:18

Did you restore the computer back to the Last Good Configuration? The entry above is from the Combofix report. It shows new MBR created, old one 'deregistered.

P2P or 'file sharing: P2P Warning:
I notice that you have a P2P program on the system:

LimeWire

Note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. I suggest that you uninstall c:\\Program Files\\LimeWire\\LimeWire.exe for the following reasons:
  • As long as you are using file sharing networks and programs which are from sources that are not documented, you cannot verity that a download is legitimate.
  • Malware writers use these program to include malicious content.
  • Fie sharing is usually unmonitored and there is a danger that your private files might be accessed.
  • The 'sharing' also includes malware that the shared system has on it.
  • Files that are illegal can be spread through file sharing.

Please read the information on P2P Warning to help you better understand these dangers.

Please run this online scan:
Open
Kaspersky Online Scanner in Internet Explorer


Note: If you are using Windows Vista, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select 'Run as administrator' to perform this scan.
  • Click Accept and the web scanner will begin to load
  • If a yellow warning bar appears at the top of the browser, click it and choose Install ActiveX Control
  • You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, click Install
  • If you are prompted about another ActiveX control called Kaspersky Online Scanner GUI part then allow it to be installed also.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT and then Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
    [o] Scan using the following Anti-Virus database> Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
    [o] Scan Options: Scan Archives> Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:
    [o] Select My Computer
  • The program will start to scan your system.
  • Once the scan is complete, click on the Save as Text button and save the file to your desktop
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.

IF you restored back, I don't know what's on the system now. Attach log in next reply.
 
I had already uninstalled limewire so I just went in and deleted the folder c:\\Program Files\Lime Wire. Will that get rid of it?

I ran the Kaspersky scan and no threats were detected so there was nothing in the report.

I previously ran combofix when you asked and it wrote a report. I closed the report because I thought it would be in C:\ComboFix(.txt) but when I opened the folder it was empty. I ran it again and attached that report. That might explain the "Last Good" comment in the report.

Thanks
 
Neither one of the Combofix reports shows any deletions. When it is run again, the previous log has to be deleted from the desktop. When you first ran Combofix, did you accept when asked if you wanted to create a recovery console?

Please find the previous Combofix report on your desktop and do a right click> delete on each.

Then run Combofix again, followed by a new HijckThis scan.

As before, attach Combofix report and paste HJT log.

Are you still having the same problem with the system? I need to get good scans in order to determine if malware is the problem. I don't know what's making the mouse jump.

Are you having any redirects when you search or put a URL in the address bar- sent to a different site?

EDIT: c:\windows\LastGood: The folder is used by "Last Known Good" Option.
The Last Known Good recovery option, with which you access through the boot menu, allows you to revert the system to the last copy of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet subkey with which the system successfully booted and a user logged on. It has been integrated with the HIW (Hardware Installation Wizard) to make recovery even more likely. If the problem has nothing to do with the configuration of the system, then LastKnownGood will be of no help to you. If you have a problem with hardware failure, missing files, or corrupted files, then the LastKnownGood will not correct them.
Source: PCReview



I have not seen this before when the recovery console is chosen to be made.
 
I made sure I deleted the previous versions of the combofix log files and reran it as well as hijack this. I don't seem to be having any problems web browsing and so far the mouse hasn't been jumping while I'm typing. Previously the cursor would jump to the middle of the sentence and since I type with one finger and have to look at the keys when I'm typing, the sentences would be all muddled up. Also some of the keys wouldn't work the first time you hit them. The cursor actually jumped just as I was finishing that last sentence. That's the first time it has done it tonight. That's a lot better than it was but its still not fixed. Here are the log file and report file.

Thanks for your help,

Jules

Okay- so sorry about the delay. I haven't felt very well for last few days- one of those 'bugs' that goes around this time of year.

Things to check:

  • [1] I don't see a PDF Reader. You should have one in case to call up something in the PDF format:
  • Visit this site[Adobe Readeroften and make sure you have the most current update. Uninstall any earlier updates as they are vulnerabilities. Current is v6u17
    OR
  • Check for free FoxitIt PDF Reader
    Does same as Adobe Reader without the bloat. Watch for any Toolbars pre-checked on downlaod site.

    [2]Keep current in Java updates: v6 u17:
  • Check this site often.Java Updates Stay current as most updates are for security. Uninstall any earlier versions in Add/Remove Programs.

If the original problems have been resolved, you can remove the cleaning tools:

Uninstall ComboFix.exe And all Backups of the files it deleted
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
CF_Uninstall-1.jpg


Remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created
  • DownloadOTCleanIt by OldTimer
  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click OTCleanIt.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.

You should now set a new Restore Point to prevent infection from any previous Restore Points. The easiest and safest way to do this is:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
  • Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the Restore Point a name then click "Create". The new Restore Point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
  • Go to "Disk Cleanup" which can be found by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.
  • Click "OK" to select the partition or drive you desire.
  • Click the "More Options" Tab.
  • Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous Restore Points except the newly created one. More details and screenshots for Disk Cleanup in Windows Vista can be found here.

Here are some tips to stay clean:

Please follow these simple steps to keep your computer clean and secure:
1.Disable and Enable System Restore: This will help you to drop the old restore points and set a new, clean one:

System Restore Guide


2.Stay current on updates:
  • Visit the Microsoft Download Sitefrequently.
    You should get All updates marked Critical and the current SP updates:Windows 2000> SP4, Windows XP> SP2, SP3, Vista> SP1
  • Visit this site[Adobe Readeroften and make sure you have the most current update. Uninstall any earlier updates as they are vulnerabilities.
  • Check this site often.Java Updates Stay current as most updates are for security. Uninstall any earlier versions in Add/Remove Programs.

3.Make Internet Explorer safer. Follow the suggestions HERE
This Tutorial will help guide you through Configuring Security Settings, Managing Active X Controls and other safety features.

4.Remove Temporary Internet Files regularly: Use5. Use an AntiVirus Software(only one)
6.Use a good, bi-directional firewall(one software firewall)
[*]See Understanding and Using Firewalls including links to download a firewall.

7.Consider these programs for Extra Security
  • Spywareblaster:
  • SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX. It places kill bits to stop bad Active X controls from being installed. Remember to update it regularly.
  • IE/Spyad
  • This places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • MVPS Hosts files This replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
  • Google Toolbar Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
