Win 32/heur issue

[Coolfire85]

I have been trolling these forums for a few hours now, and I can't seem to find exactly what it is I need to fix this There is a lot of useful information here, but it seems for noobies like me, HJT works the best if viewed by someone who knows what they're looking at!

Anyway, I'm having issues with win32/heur continually being picked up by AVG, I have run malaware until it stopped finding stuff, VundoFix found nothing, but AVG keeps finding it, and I can't block it or anything. It keeps showing up in different system folders, obviously its rooted some where else, and I can't find a fix. Would appreciate any help! will attach my hjt file

Moderator Edit:
Thanks for attaching the log
But there are still 2 problems:
1. HJT version too old
2. As I stated already to you, you must follow the guide in full:
oh and 3. Remove AVG, use Avira instead (but this one is just in my opinion, the others 2 must be done)

I am careless, but I have fixed it!

Followed the 8 steps. Got the proper version of HJT, and its still happening, i'll post the 3 logs.

Thanks

Actually you did quite a good with all my Mod edits along the way

But, still there seems to be an issue (I know, never ending criteria)

HijackThis v1.99.1

As this version is so many years old, if I were to work from it, many mistakes could be applied (ie there were many changes made to the current version)
You will need to uninstall HijackThis from your Control Panel -> add\remove Programs menu.
Then at last referring back to the guide (ie here: UPDATED 8-step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal Instructions)
Download the current version, and create a log file with that one.

All this might not be a waste, because as I mentioned before, you are best to uninstall AVG8 before continuing (think of this as a very strong viewpoint, that I have proven time and time again)

So here are your exact steps for a cleaner system (ie Do this, for your benefit)

Uninstall your current old HijackThis
You can now also uninstall SuperAntiSpyware too
Go to the 8-step guide and download and install the current HijackThis
Go to the 8-step guide and download Avira (ideally to your Desktop, for convenience)
Uninstall AVG8 through your normal Add\remove Programs in Control Panel
You do not need to restart (but it should not matter if you do)

Then run the removal tool
Here is the 32Bit version (most users): http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arm_sup_____.dir/avgremover.exe
Here is the 64Bit version: http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arv_sup_____.dir/avgremoverx64.exe
Now restart

You should get a warning from Windows Security, that Antivirus is uninstalled, just disregard this, or close the little message box)
Double click on the downloaded Avira Antivirus to install it
At one point during install it asks for subscribing or something (with tick boxes) Untick the boxes and continue installing Avira

Allow Avira to fully update (when Avira updates it has these huge wallpaper size, splash screens, just close this every time it updates)

Hooray Avira is now protecting you :grinthumb (note this free version is perfectly adequate, and way better than AVG8)

Start up Malwarebytes again; Update it; then run a full scan (remove all found Malwares, it will find more, for you to remove)
You need to run this multiple times, until all hidden Malwares are uncovered and removed (but I tend to do quick scans when there's only 1 or 2 remaining)

Restart

Then run a fresh HijackThis scan and log file to attach to a new reply

There you go

Report back (new reply) with the logs
1. Malwarebytes
2. HJT log

And possibly with you saying how much better it now is

I coulda swore I downloaded the latest HJT from the link on the 8 steps page, hmm. Well it is 2.0.2 now, but I can't get avira to install. It keeps popping up an error after it extracts saying a file has changed, maybe from a virus. Then it cancels setup.

Took a screenshot, I'll attach it.

Update:
Avira has a downloadable cd boot to run the virus scanner. I did that, then tried to reinstall...still getting the same error. MBAM is still clearing the same 10 files every time I run it too. Just waiting on a response I guess...

 

[Coolfire85]

Apparently this virus/malware whatever it is, is attaching itself to some .exes. As of right now, it has corrupted 8 programs, including my wireless NIC program. I can no longer connect to my router, all of microsoft office is gone, and a few others. I really need some help before everything goes! I don't want to have to be forced to format.

OK run SuperAntiSpyware (SAS) from the 8 Steps post log!

Boot to Safe mode networking and do the below..

Left Drag mouse and Copy for Pasting all text in the box below. Make sure the slider bar goes to bottom from the @ to the end of the second exit.

Then paste to the black screen of an open command prompt. All may not apply so ignore errors.

This should run and exit!

It is a coverall and you may see a few errors related to it addressing something you do not need. This is normal ignore.

Then..

Download SDFix to Desktop.

On the Boot menu Choose Safe Mode.

Click thu all the prompts to get to desktop.

At Desktop

Look for a folder called SD Fix. Double-click to enter SD Fix.

Double-click to RunThis.bat. Type Y to begin.

SD Fix does its job.

When prompted hit the enter key to restart the computer

Your computer will reboot.

On normal restart the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then say Finished,

=========================================
Download ComboFix

NOTE: If you have had ComboFix more than a few days old delete and re-download.

Get it here: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5587-combofix.html
Or here: http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe

Double click combofix.exe follow the prompts.

Install Recovery Console if connected to the Internet!

When finished, it will open a log.
Attach the log and a new HJT log in your next reply.

Note: Do not click combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall.

I did exactly as I was told, but now everytime I try to run SDfix in safemode it gives me a blue screen, PAGE_FAULT_ or something....

If I boot in normal mode, it says windows has prevented and operation from continuing, and i have no icons or anything, and i can't do anything, so right now I can only boot in safe mode.

 

[mflynn]

OK skip SDFix and run ComboFix get the log here.

Mike

 

[Coolfire85]

Combofix log and hjt log. Something else thats happening now is "application error" iexplorer.exe failed to initialize properly. i go to kill the process and there is about 8 of them. don't know what thats about

 

[mflynn]

That was Malware trying over and over to connect to the internet.

ComboFix found many and many bad. Run it again and get me another log as it may find more.

Then...

Open SAS Click Preferences-Repairs
Then counting down from top do the following entries

Numbers 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15,18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26 and 27!

Then boot to Safe Mode and try run SDFix again. Don't try SDFix in normal mode.

If SDFix still does not run then update run MBAM again.

[Coolfire85]

Thanks for you all your help Mike!

I was getting pretty frustrated with all this crap. My machine started crashing (blue screen) about 30 seconds after windows had launched. I couldn't do anything, Safe mode was doing the same thing. I gave up.

I had a ghost image of when I first got the machine. I reverted to it, at least I didn't have to reinstall all the drivers?

I really appreciate everything you have done for me, Kim too! I'll be getting avira from the start. And hopefully none of this will happen again!

Best of luck to you and everyone else, this virus is nasty....

Ryan

 

[mflynn]

OK Ryan

Glad you had an image.

If the image had Malwre then you might want to do a quick run of the steps here (8 Steps). With the worst hopefully gone this ought to be easy.

If not eat up with Malware like you were then its pretty easy. And I would not assume the image was clean.

When you get Malware and it is not cleaned it will get progressively worse bring in others the others bring in more until you are so bad like you were that it is then hard to fix.

Your choice! (8 Steps)

Mike

 

[Coolfire85]

I'm pretty sure the image is clean, its a factory image. Alienware did it, I had to go through setup on windows again, but I'm defintely going to check again, once I get all my programs back. Just in case I picked up anything while browsing the web and downloading all my programs.

Thanks again for all the help!
