    And it also keeps blocking my Nod32 Web and Email protection.

    This is what I mean, it keeps trying to insert itself to firefox.exe or something. Look at the count quarantined.[IMG]

    Run full scan with NOD32.

    We posted at the same time so read my previous reply.

    Do you want me to complete all those steps again? Nod32 found some Rootkit.Dropper, that is probably what infected me with the Sirefef rootkit, right?
  6. Broni Malware Annihilator Posts: 39,349   +175

    No. I want you to run full scan with your NOD32 AV program and let me know exact results.

    Operating memory » C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_32\Desktop.ini a variant of Win32/Sirefef.EZ trojan No action
    C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_32\Desktop.ini Win32/Sirefef.EZ trojan No action
    C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_64\Desktop.ini Win64/Sirefef.AD trojan No action

    These were found by full in-depth computer scan in Nod32 AV 5

    Let's try Combofix again but this time be patient. Let it run.
    IMPORTANT! Delete your existing Combofix file and download new one....

    Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

    **Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**
    • Never rename Combofix unless instructed.
    • Close any open browsers.
    • Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
    • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
    • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
    • Close any open browsers.
    • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
    • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
    • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
    • Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

    • NOTE1. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
      NOTE 2. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always do so.
    • When finished, it will produce a report for you.
    • Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt"
    **Note 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall
    **Note 2 for AVG and CA Internet Security (Total Defense Internet Security) users: ComboFix will not run until AVG/CA Internet Security is uninstalled as a protective measure against the anti-virus. This is because AVG/CA Internet Security "falsely" detects ComboFix (or its embedded files) as a threat and may remove them resulting in the tool not working correctly which in turn can cause "unpredictable results". Since AVG/CA Internet Security cannot be effectively disabled before running ComboFix, the author recommends you to uninstall AVG/CA Internet Security first.
    Use AppRemover to uninstall it: http://www.appremover.com/
    We can reinstall it when we're done with CF.
    **Note 3: If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registery key that has been marked for deletion", restart computer to fix the issue.
    **Note 4: Some infections may take some significant time to be cured. As long as your computer clock is running Combofix is still working. Be patient.


    Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    NOTE.
    If, for some reason, Combofix refuses to run, try one of the following:

    1. Run Combofix from Safe Mode.

    2. Delete Combofix file, download fresh one, but rename combofix.exe to your_name.exe BEFORE saving it to your desktop.
    Do NOT run it yet.
    Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.
    There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
    Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose Run as Administrator
    You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

    * Rkill.com
    * Rkill.scr
    * Rkill.exe
    • Double-click on the Rkill icon to run the tool.
    • If using Vista or Windows 7 right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator.
    • A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
    • If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.
    • If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.
    • Do not reboot until instructed.
    • If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.
    Once you've gotten one of them to run, immediately run your_name.exe by double clicking on it.

    If normal mode still doesn't work, run BOTH tools from safe mode.

    In case #2, please post BOTH logs, rKill and Combofix.

    DO NOT make any other changes to your computer (like installing programs, using other cleaning tools, etc.), until it's officially declared clean!!!

    • Click on Automatic Scan tab and then click on Start scanning button.
    • Before it is done it may prompt for action regardless of the setting so choose delete if prompted.
    • When the scan is done NO log will be produced.
    • Click on Report button [IMG] then on Automatic Scan report tab.
    • Right click anywhere within right pane, click Select All then right click again and click Copy.
    • This will copy the items that it found to the clipboard you can then open notepad (go to start then run then type in notepad) and choose paste to paste the contents into Notepad.
    • You can save this on the desktop.

    I waited about 30 minutes, I will go out in about an hour and wont be home for 3 more hours after that, I can start it then and see if its running when im home. Also what do I do if the program runs? My friend told me he had tried it before and it says like stage 1 complete and such, how many stages are there?

    This is what the scan found, the Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Birele.omn was deleted, thats why it says "Not found".

    Also, I noticed that desktop.ini comes up everytime I start windows, and it says in mbam, nod etc that desktop.ini contains the Sirefef.
  14. Broni Malware Annihilator Posts: 39,349   +175

    When you say Combofix is stuck is the computer clock still running?
    If yes, that means that Combofix is still doing its thing.
    I'd leave it running overnight.
  15. cschrille TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 181

    Well my computer clock still works, no window has popped up yet, and I cant find any process like cmd.exe, combofix.exe. What would the process for combofix be called?
  16. Broni Malware Annihilator Posts: 39,349   +175

    Are you re-running Combofix AFTER completing Kaspersky tool?

    As for Combofix you may see one or more of these processes:
    * CF19313.cfxxe
    * PEV.exe
    * NirCmd.cfxxe
    * PEV.cfxxe

    I'll be gone for couple of hours.
  17. cschrille TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 181

    Yes, I disable my AV any programs that could interfere with it. I have tried restarting, booting in safe mode, running rkill, re-downloading the combofix.exe nothing helps.
  18. cschrille TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 181

    Also I opened taskmgr when I started it, and during extraction of files I saw pev.exe or something like that, then after a few seconds task manager closes and it seems like explorer.exe is reset cause everything flashes and my theme on the taskbar.
