Inactive Cannot run Rkill, Malwarebytes, or GMER

Landulph · Sep 20, 2011

This morning, Panda blocked TEN Katushas on a Yahoo web page (after my browser locked up for ~30 sec). To be on the safe side, I decided to run an MBAM scan, only to find this program crashed/vanished about 16 sec in, before it had a chance to actually begin scanning any files. Tried to run rkill MANY times (in normal AND safe modes) only to find the DOS screen crashing after a couple of seconds. Now, as luck would have it, I also noticed a brand spanking new process in Task Manager that had never, EVER been there before this Katusha trouble, something called "2330312413:574691957.exe". And huh--there is a key/entry in my registry (type REG/SZ) called "\systemroot\2330312413:574691957.exe". (I didn't want to start deleting registry entries willy-nilly, though). There are also two instances of a file named "2330312413" one in the Windows directory, the other in "Windows/Prefetch" and BOTH of them created at 11:27 AM this morning, just when my trouble began. "Also, now whenever I start up, Panda quickly blocks exactly three Katushas, and it takes far longer to acquire an IP address (the "little yellow ball spinning around a computer") than before. The internet is also much flakier than before.

And there is one other hangup: I cannot finish a GMER scan. The program crashes with no "rootkit activity" warning (I've tried it multiple times in normal mode) as soon as it displays a red Module entry (the very first red one for the scan) at section "/cdfs" (I think). Should I run GMER in safe mode?

In any case, here is the DDS log:

I notice you also posted this same information here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic419757.html

Please decide which forum you want to stay with and post on the other forum to close the thread as you as getting help elsewhere.

Let me know one way or the other please.

Landulph · Sep 20, 2011

Hi, Bobbeye! I think I will go with Techspot--Bleepingcomputer are excellent, but they seem to have a massive backlog right now, and I would rather not wait 7 days plus. I'll close the thread over there right now. Many thanks for the prompt response.

Also, I have found two more glitches--I appear to be infected with the "wickedsearchsystem" redirect, for computer-related sites only, and the malware seems to have disable my copy of Interactual DVD Player in much the same way it did Malwarebytes--upon launching it I got an error, and it now shows on my desktop/start menu as the "blank white windows screen" icon, and I now get a "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" error upon trying to launch it.

Bobbye · Sep 21, 2011

We all get backed up at times> That's one reason we ask that you only have one forum and helper for the same problem. I have a lot of question to ask, but I'd like to get you started.

Let GMER go for now. Let's work on Mbam:

Please download randmbam.exe

It will try to create random names and shortcuts for Malwarebytes Anti Malware(MBAM) if you have it installed already.

Once done, try running a scan again
================================
Please note: If you have previously run Combofix and it's still on the system, please uninstall it. Then download the current version and do the scan: Uninstall directions, if needed

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.

--------------------------------------
Download Combofix from HERE or HEREhttp://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe and save to the desktop

Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. It is recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode if needed.
**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.
Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:
The Recovery Console was successfully installed.
.Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware
.If Combofix asks you to update the program, allow
.Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
.Close any open browsers.
.Double click combofix.exe

& follow the prompts to run.
When the scan completes , a report will be generated-it will open a text window. Please paste the C:\ComboFix.txt in next reply..

Re-enable your Antivirus software.

Note 1:Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
Note 2: ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
Note 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.
Note 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.
Note 5: If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion", restart computer to fix the issue.
=======================================
My Guidelines: please read and follow:

Be patient. Malware cleaning takes time and I am also working with other members while I am helping you.
Read my instructions carefully. If you don't understand or have a problem, ask me.
If you have questions, or if a program doesn't work, stop and tell me about it. Don't try to get around it yourself.
Follow the order of the tasks I give you. Order is crucial in cleaning process.
File sharing programs should be uninstalled or disabled during the cleaning process..
Observe these:
[o] Don't use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you.
[o] Don't use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
[o] Don't download and install new programs- except those I give you.
Please let me know if there is any change in the system.

If I don't get a reply from you in 5 days, the thread will be closed. If your problem persist, you can send a PM to reopen it.

What is a Katushas Other than a Russian Cycling Team?

Landulph · Sep 21, 2011

I ran randmbam.exe. It says it created a shortcut on my desktop, but no such icon is showing when I go to check it. What should I do?

Bobbye · Sep 22, 2011

Try running the Mbam scan and continue on.

Landulph · Sep 22, 2011

Still getting, "cannot access the specified path or file--you may not have access privilages" message. Again, it doesn't seem like the utility actually created a new shortcut for MBAM on my desktop even though it said it did. Should I just try to run combofix now?

Bobbye · Sep 23, 2011

Please go ahead with Combofix.

Landulph · Sep 25, 2011

Ran Combofix. As I feared, it detected the Zero.Access Rootkit in my TCP/IP stack. Combofix restarted the system, and continued, only to abruptly shut down with a message simply saying "error". Xp now takes much longer starting up, and doesn't seem to boot in safe mode. I think I am just going to reformat, as I know Zero.Access is a nasty infection. I just have three questions:

1. Could this particular rootkit still be lodged in my HD boot sector (ie, will a reformat fix the problem, or should I just get a new HD from the manufacturer--it's still under warranty.)

2. I backed up my Documents and Settings folder when this infection began last week. Am I safe restoring it to the new installation?

3. I have a lot of files/documents/icons on an external HD within a given folder organized in a very specific order, and I'd really rather not take the time rearranging them after an XP reinstall if I don't have to. Is there a specific Windows file(s) I could back up/transfer to the new install to avoid this?

Thanks for all your efforts, Bobbye--I know this was a bad infection, and you did your best.

Bobbye · Sep 28, 2011

Can I see the Combofix log please?

Landulph · Sep 28, 2011

Combofix shut down before generating a log, that's the problem. Should I try running it again? (It think it shut down at "Stage 3", if that makes any difference).

Bobbye · Oct 1, 2011

Still want to know this:

What is a Katushas Other than a Russian Cycling Team?

=================================

Download the file TDSSKiller.zip and save to the desktop.
(If you are unable to download the file for some reason, then TDSS may be blocking it. You would then need to download it first to a clean computer and then transfer it to the infected one using an external drive or USB flash drive.)
Right-click the tdsskiller.zip file> Select Extract All into a folder on the infected (or potentially infected) PC.
Double click on TDSSKiller.exe. to run the scan
When the scan is over, the utility outputs a list of detected objects with description.
The utility automatically selects an action (Cure or Delete) for malicious objects.
The utility prompts the user to select an action to apply to suspicious objects (Skip, by default).
Select the action Quarantine to quarantine detected objects.
The default quarantine folder is in the system disk root folder, e.g.: C:\TDSSKiller_Quarantine\23.07.2010_15.31.43
After clicking Next, the utility applies selected actions and outputs the result.
A reboot is required after disinfection.

======================================
Follow with download Of maxhandle.exe by noahdfear to your desktop.

Double click maxhandle.exeand run the application
An active internet connection is required so that maxhandle.exe may download a tool from SysInternals
If Max++ is present the log will open automatically.
If Max++ is not found Nothing found! is echoed to the screen - no log is produced.
Log is saved to c:\maxhandle.txt

Please post both of the logs in your next reply. I will give you the next step after I see the logs.

Inactive Cannot run Rkill, Malwarebytes, or GMER
