Solved Having trouble removing "application cannot be executed" malware

vokoun · Feb 8, 2011

Hello everyone,
I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but I read the notice that one should not try the fixes prescribed to another user, so I thought I would start a new thread.
I also apologize in advance for being a total dummy as far as technology goes. You will probably have to speak slowly and repeat things........
My laptop has been infected with the virus that poses as "antivirus software" and pops up the false "application cannot be executed, the file ####.exe is corrupted" warning box every 10-15 seconds. It also does this when I try to open task manager or virtually any other program.
Internet Explorer doesn't work but fortunately I also have Firefox and for some reason Firefox seems to still work relatively unimpeded so far.

What I tried so far:
I was able to download MBAM. I then tried running it while in normal mode but the virus cut it off at the knees. I then ran MBAM in safe mode and it found 1 infected file. I told it to remove/fix the file and then rebooted to normal mode. The virus was still there.
I was somehow able to then run MBAM in normal mode (I think by clicking on it immediately before the virus had 'set up camp' so to speak). It then found no infected files. A third scan in safe mode found no infected files. But the virus is still there. It has MBAM hornswoggled somehow.

I really am at the limits of my meager tech-savvy and am very frustrated. Any help to restore my laptop would be greatly appreciated.
I have intermittent access on another computer and will respond when I can. Thank you.

Strange development - I turned the laptop on again (after about a week of inactivity) and the malware did not appear. I tried MBAM just to see if it would run again and it did - it found 7 infected files this time and fixed them.
Laptop seems to be running normally. All programs seem to work as usual now.
Thoughts?

Bobbye · Feb 9, 2011

Thoughts?

Where is the Mbam log? Where are the other logs? Just because one function has been restored does not mean all the malware is gone.

vokoun · Feb 10, 2011

Indeed. Malware is still there. Laptop worked normally through the day (used intermittently, rebooted a couple of different times). Then at 11:59 or midnight the malware reappeared, with a different name and slightly different verbiage. Once again cutting off other programs at the knees, except for the first 15 seconds or so upon rebooting. Still trying to work through the 8 steps but it takes some time (life gets in the way). Please bear with me and thanks in advance for your patience.

PS:If I can't run a process in normal mode, does it do any good to do it in safe mode?
PPS: Is it helpful to you to have the MBAM logs before the other logs are done?

but the virus cut it off at the knees

before the virus had 'set up camp' so to speak

But the virus is still there. It has MBAM hornswoggled somehow.

Unless you give me some logs so I can see what's running, I'm not going to be able to help you. If you do have a Trojan.FakeAlert, it will show, then be quarantined in Mbam, I I haven't seen any log yet.

Sorry about that. Here are the Mbam logs I have so far (6 total).

Okay I was finally able to get through the 8 (or now 6) steps. Hopefully I was able to do everything correctly.
I ran another Mbam in the prescribed order of the steps so I am going to include it here too.

Again, thanks for bearing with me.

Okay, let's get you down to only one antivirus and make it current. Right now you show these:
avast! Antivirus
Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus
And both show Outdated in the DDS Header.
Please decide which one of these programs you want to keep> Avast or Avira and uninstall the other. Multiple antivirus programs make a system more vulnerable, not less. It can also slow a system down.
Here are Tools to help remove the program you're not going to keep:
Avast Removal
To uninstall Avira:

Start> Settings> Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs (Windows 2000/ XP) or Start - Control Panel - Uninstall a program (Windows Vista / 7)
Wait for the list of installed programs to load, then click the name of the Avira program.
Click Remove next to the program's name (Windows 2000 / XP) or in the menu above the list (Windows Vista / 7).
Press Yes, to confirm the removal and then OK.
. Click Next until Finish. The software is removed.

Handle this and reboot the computer when through.
=================================
The malware is still on the system. Please run the following:

Run Eset NOD32 Online AntiVirus scan HEREhttp://www.eset.eu/online-scanner

Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
Click Start
When asked, allow the Active X control to install
Disable your current Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notification Tray icon near the clock.
Click Start
Make sure that the option "Remove found threats" is Unchecked, and the option "Scan unwanted applications" is checked

I used the link to remove Avast. Not sure why Avira shows up as outdated as I just downloaded it a few days ago. How would I make it current?

Here are the new logs:

Whenever you download and install a new antivirus program, the first thing you should do is update the program. This can usually be done using a right click on the AV icon in the Notification Area> Update.

Does your ISP require you to use this port? uInternet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:18810
[And then override it? uInternet Settings,ProxyOverride = <local>
Mbam found malware (PUM.Bad.Proxy) -> Value: ProxyServer which is why we need to veryfy the proxy settings.
=================================
There is malware, usually named Trojan.FakeAlert that puts p[ alerts of a problem, usually making if sound 'critical.' The ides is a scare tactic so you will click on the popups which then takes you to a site to pay money for the removal. I did not see this in the logs. But I saw Trojan.Downloader in Mbam, not Trojan.Fake Alert. Eset is clean, GMER is clean.
=================================
I notice that Combofix removed the file:
c:\windows\system\BisonCam.dll
but that you have the driver for the BisonCam loading from the Registry as
"BisonHK"="c:\windows\BisonCam\BisonHK.exe" [2007-08-07 65536]
and you have the following programs installed:
Bison WebCam
Bison WebCam Ap
You make want to check that program out> see if it needs a firmware update.
=================================
And it's unusual that the only Service showing is one for Avira Have you disabled any Services or Drivers? Are you still having a problem? Are you still having a problem with the popups. I would appreciate it if you could give me any error message you get, comletely and correctly.
==================================
Download HijackThis http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/hijackthis/HijackThis.zipand save to your desktop.

Extract it to a directory on your hard drive called c:\HijackThis.

Then navigate to that directory and double-click on the hijackthis.exe file.

When started click on the Scan button and then the Save Log button to create a log of your information.

The log file and then the log will open in notepad. Be sure to click on Format> Uncheck Word Wrap when you open Notepad

Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.

Come back here to this thread and paste (Ctrl+V) the log in your next reply.

NOTE: Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

I updated Avira.

I have to admit I don't know anything about proxy settings. What do I need to do to verify them?

Bison Cam is something I don't use. The laptop has a cam built into the lid but I never use it. There was software included when I bought the computer but I don't really know what's supposed to be there and what's not.

I haven't disabled any services or drivers to the best of my knowledge, although I'm not sure what all would be included in those categories. Have had no popups and no visible signs of malware since running Temporary File Cleaner.

When the popups did occur, they read "Application cannot be executed. The file ####.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?" In some cases the phrase "application cannot be executed" was replaced by "Virus Alert! Application can't be started!"

Sorry my tech knowhow is so limited! Thanks for all of your clear instructions and for your patience.

New Development

A new popup began appearing about an hour and a half ago. Unfortunately I didn't jot down exactly what it said. This one looked slightly different (not like an official Microsoft window - it had some kind of red border) but it was similar in purpose to the previous ones (i.e. Security Alert, you need to start your scan now, the popup kept recurring no matter how many times I clicked Close, and it prevented any program from opening.)
I tried to do Mbam first thing; it would start and then disappear. I then tried TFC instead. It ran, and the computer rebooted. I ran an Avira scan which found nothing and then was able to run Mbam which found 7 infected files:

Popups haven't reappeared since one immediately after TFC scan & reboot (before Avira scan).

Should I do Gmer and DDS again?

Thanks! you have helped so much already and I feel bad that I keep having to ask for more help!

So there is still a peep hole where the malware is getting in! You don't have to go through all of the scans, but I think it's best to run the Eset online virus scan and Combofix again. I may have missed something.

Directions for both are in Reply #7.

It sounds like some of the malware was still in the temporary internet files, so it was removed by TFC in those files. But since Mbam showed malware again, I need to see what the location is and if it's new malware. You got a computer with data someone else left on it, so it's important that you learn how to get around the computer so anything you don't need/ want can be removed.

Have you added anything to the system since the last Mbam which was clean? A download? An update? Program or App?

Malware used what is called Image File Execution (IFEO) to block the executables of the Eset scan and Windows Defender. This shows in the Registry entries it found and removed.

What is IFEO?
IFEO is an area of the registry that tells Windows what to do when a given application is run on your system.Malware is modifying the IFEO key so that when you attempt to run them, they either do not run at all, or actually launch another copy of the virus executable itself! A simple reboot after adding the malware to IFEO may give you to opportunity to delete it and finish your cleaning process.the problem is that Windows does not verify that the application that you tell it to run instead of the program is actually a legitimate debugger or not.
======================================
I'd like to see if this program can find the malware opening:
Download Dr.Web CureIt! and save it to your desktop.

[1] Double click to Run the utility and press the "Start" button in the opened window.
[2] Confirm the launch by pressing the "OK" button and wait for the scanning results of the main memory and startup files. (this is express scan)
[3] Click on the Green Arrow to the right to Select the Complete scan
[4] When being scanned, infected files are cured, incurable files are moved to the quarantine directory.Answer Yes if asked to move or cure a file.
[5] When the scanning is finished, save the report to your desktop: it is named DrWeb.csv.

Close the program.
Reboot the computer: this is important to complete the moves or deletions.
Copy the DrWeb.cvs report to Notepad, then paste it in your next reply.

I haven't added any program or apps. I did update both Avira and Java - was that a mistake?

DrWeb Cureit found some stuff, here are the results:

The first 1 was found during express scan, and the other 8 were found during complete scan.
IIRC, I downloaded OTS after the malware first appeared but before I found the help of this forum. I stopped short of actually installing it.
ArcGIS is a cartography program I used for a class a few years ago, but haven't used since.

Thanks again for all the time you are taking to assist me.

Re: Improvement in the system......... No visible signs of malware since post #13 of this thread, on 2/15/11....... (although of course the DrWeb Cure It scan indicated otherwise) but I want to heed your warning i.e. just because I don't see the malware, doesn't necessarily mean it's gone. I want to make sure. That said, system has behaved with no noticeable problems since then.
Will await further instructions.

Please run this Custom CFScript:

[1]. Close any open browsers.
[2]. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
[3]. Open notepad> click on Format> Uncheck 'Word Wrap> and copy/paste the text in the code below into it:

Code:

File::
Folder::
c:\documents and settings\CMT\DoctorWeb
Extra::
File::
c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0007-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0022-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
Firefox::
Firefox-: -Profile- c:\documents and settings\CMT\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\diz83s0c.default\
DDS:
uInternet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:18810

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it will produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt . Please paste into to your next reply.
====================
Please update Java: Java Updates Current is v6u24. Uninstall any earlier versions in Add/Remove Programs as they are vulnerabilities for the system.
Note: It is recommended that you do not copy Java plugins from other locations to the Firefox plugins folder. Outdated Java plugins can cause Java not to work if you update Java and then uninstall the older Java version, if plugins from the old Java version are still in the Firefox plugins folder.
====================
Last scan to make sure no bad entries remain, then I'll have you remove the cleaning tools.
Download HijackThis http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/hijackthis/HijackThis.zipand save to your desktop.

Extract it to a directory on your hard drive called c:\HijackThis.
Then navigate to that directory and double-click on the hijackthis.exe file.
When started click on the Scan button and then the Save Log button to create a log of your information.
The log file and then the log will open in notepad. Be sure to click on Format> Uncheck Word Wrap when you open Notepad
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and paste (Ctrl+V) the log in your next reply.

NOTE: Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Here are the latest logs. Uninstalled old versions of Java in Add/Remove Programs, installed v6u24. Wasn't sure what to look for in the plugins folder though.

Okay, this is related to my question about this:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:18810

Please do the following: Click on Control Panel> Internet Options> Connections tab> Click on LAN Settings button lower right>
You will now be at the Local Area Network (LAN) settings screen as shown by the image below.

Image courtesy bleeping computer.

Under the Proxy Server section, please uncheck the checkbox labeled Use a proxy server for your LAN.
Then press the OK button to close this screen. Then press the OK button to close the Internet Options screen. Now that you have disabled the proxy server you will be able to browse the web again with Internet Explorer.

This is what was causing both these entries in Mbam:
Registry Keys Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\g043oqxanu (Trojan.FakeAlert) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
Registry Values Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyServer (PUM.Bad.Proxy) -> Value: ProxyServer -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

Reboot the computer and let me know how the system is. I suspected the port- which was why I asked about it. There are some ISPs that require a specific port be used. This isn't one of them

vokoun · Mar 6, 2011

When I navigated to that tab, the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox was already unchecked. Made sure to select OK and rebooted the computer though. System appears to be behaving normally.

Bobbye · Mar 7, 2011

Good! Sometimes it just takes a reboot to finish up.
Please reopen HijackThis to 'do system scan only.' Check each of the following, if present:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\jusched.exe
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\jucheck.exe

Close all Windows except HijackThis and click on "Fix Checked."
=================================================
Removing all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created

Uninstall ComboFix 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.

Download OTCleanIt by OldTimer and 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.

Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

You should now set a new Restore Point and remove the old restore points to prevent infection from any previous Restore Points.
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools
Click "System Restore".
Choose "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next".
Give the Restore Point a name> click "Create".
Go back and follow the path to > System Tools.
[*]Choose Disc Cleanup
[*]Click "OK" to select the partition or drive you want.
[*]Click the "More Options" Tab.
[*]Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous Restore Points except the newly created one.

Empty the Recycle Bin

A reminder on this:
Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) Now up to SP3, support soon to stop.
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180) Now up to IE8 and Beta v9

vokoun · Mar 10, 2011

Hi...... sorry it took me a couple days to respond, thanks for hanging in there with me. Followed these instructions and everything seemed to go ok.

On HijackThis, of the entries you indicated, the only one that matched exactly was the one beginning with "O23 - Service: avast." Checked it and chose 'fix checked.'

Uninstalled Combofix, ran OTClean It, created a new Restore point, Recycle bin was already empty.

What specific actions should I take regarding the reminders at the end of your previous post?

Solved Having trouble removing "application cannot be executed" malware
