Hi,
Thanks in advance as all I've done to cure my computer in the past few months has failed and I am at my wits end and realize I am way out of my league with how to fix it. I will try to give a brief explanation of what I have tried and timeline and then my logs as requested will be pasted to the post.Got the Alureon re-direct virus, so to try to get rid of it, I updated AVG2011, ran it, didn't find anything, then Malwarbytes, ran it, found only adware, removed it, then Kypersky rootkit killer found it and I thought it was gone because the redirecting stopped. But computer was still painstakingly slow for even the simplest task. At the same time as this I ran Windows update and got SP3. Nightmare got worse. As soon as I did that I got a huge memory leak. All of a sudden all my disk space is used up, not even enough VM sometimes to run IE, or more than one item at a time, so I ran Process Explorer and found that the svchost was the culprit, furthermore it was the one connected with microsoft updates that came with the SP3. Unfortunately even the fixes from Microsoft didn't work to solve that so I had to disable automatic updates to get my CPU back, which is only a workaround for now, but the slowness, memory leak and buffering make it impossible to do my work, and it is still very slow even with the updates turned off. So yesterday I updated AVG and ran it again, it found one multiple runtime compression aspack,nupx problem that I have no idea how to fix, ran Malwarebytes, found nothing, then today I updated adobe and java, did the GMER scan only in safe mode because it wouldn't run any other way, in fact it gave me a BSOD everytime I tried it otherwise, and it found nothing, then did my DDS logs. Fast forward, I need lots of help.

Thanks,
Becky

Becky, when you open Notebook for a log, please click on Font and uncheck Word Wrap. I'd appreciate it if you would repost just the DDS.txt log with Word Wrap off. (You don't need to redo the Attach.log. I can't read the entries when they're split over 2 or more lines.You'll see the difference.
==========================================
Please remove any of the scanning programs you used when the panic set in, such as the Kaspersky Rootkit Killer.
===========================================
The Java is way outdated-Java(TM) 7- I think this is actually an update rather than a version as the current version is v6u26 and is a vulnerability, so you need to update now: Java Updates . Uninstall any earlier versions in Add/Remove Programs as they are vulnerabilities for the system.
Note: Uncheck 'Install Yahoo Toolbar' on the download screen before you do the update.
--------------------------------
After the update, you will need to remove malware in the Java cache::
To clear the Java Plug-in cache:

  • [1]. Click Start > Control Panel.
    [2]. Double-click the Java icon in the control panel.
    java.png
    The Java Control Panel appears.

    [3].Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files.The Temporary Files Settings dialog box appears.
    plugin_cache2.jpg

    [4] Click Delete Files.The Delete Temporary Files dialog box appears.
    plugin_cache3.jpg

    [5]. Click OK on Delete Temporary Files window.
    Note: This deletes all the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the cache.
    [6]. Click Apply> OK on Temporary Files Settings window.

Hi Bobbye,

Thank you so much for helping me. I have re-pasted the DDS log with word wrap off at the end of this post. Sorry I did not know that was on.

I followed your steps in order, however I think the Kapersky rootkit killer was already removed. All I could find was the quarantine folder and 3 logs from the scans. Should I remove those as well? Also, checked for other scans but I don't think I have any except what your site recommends still installed.

Updated Java, no problems but should I remove that Java 7 I installed yesterday?

Emptied Java Cache, no problems, removed the domain names from the trusted sites, and will patiently await your next instructions. My computer seems to be running about the same.

Thank you- that's better! Looks like you hiccuped a couple of times, but it's not a problem.
Regarding "should I remove that Java 7 I installed yesterday?"> Yes it's not the correct Java.
The only Java 7 I see is JDK 7 The Java Development Kit (JDK) from Sun Microsystems aimed at Java developers. So unless you're a programmer, this wouldn't be what you should have.
Get Java v6u26 here> http://www.java.com/en/download/
---------------------
Would you please do this while we're working together:
Go into Pinnacle Studios and turn off the driver check.
If the website moves or is down for a bit and the software checks for a driver from a link that isn't working, you get error type messages. As a general rule, you do not need software checking for driver updates. If the software/hardware is working then the driver is fine so you wouldn't want it updated anyway.
(This is the entry in the log. You don't need to so anything with it, I'll handle that. Just wanted you so see what I'm referring to.)
mRun: [PinnacleDriverCheck] c:\windows\system32\PSDrvCheck.exe -CheckReg
====================================
There are some entries in these logs I can't identify, so I'd like you to run the following:
  • Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
    ESETOnlineScan
  • For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
    [o] Click on Posted Image to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
    [o] Double click on the
    esetSmartInstallDesktopIcon.png
    on your desktop.
  • Check 'Yes I accept terms of use.'
  • Click Start button
  • Accept any security warnings from your browser.
    esetonlinescannersettings_thumb.jpg
  • Uncheck 'Remove found threats'
  • Check 'Scan archives/
  • Leave remaining settings as is.
  • Press the Start button.
  • ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please wait for the scan to finish.
  • When the scan completes, press List of found threats
  • Push Export of text file and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Paste this log in your next reply.
  • Push the Back button
  • Push Finish

NOTE: If no malware is found then no log will be produced. Let me know if this is the case.
===================================
Follow with Combofix. It won't run with AVG, so you will have to uninstall it temporarily as follows:
Download AppRemover and save to the desktop
  1. Double click the setup on the desktop> click Next
  2. Select “Remove Security Application”
  3. Let scan finish to determine security apps
  4. A screen like below will appear:
    image_preview
  5. Click on Next after choice has been made
  6. Check the AVG program you want to uninstall
  7. After uninstall shows complete, follow online prompts to Exit the program.

Temporary AV: Use one:
Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus
Avast Free Version
=============================
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.

==================================
These 2 scans will help us find and then remove the offenders. Logs for Eset and Combofix in next reply please.
There is no log for the App Remover. But be sure to put of of the AV program on system- after you install it, make sure to check for updates. You do not need to run a scan with it at this time.

Hi Bobbye,

I am still working on the items from your last post. I have run into a problem and want to ask a question before I continue. I am up to running the combofix scan, but everytime I try to run it I get a warning that says the AVG 2011 reatime scanner is active and to disable it before clicking ok, but there is no trace that I can find of AVG still on the system. I ran the Appremover program and the uninstall said it was complete. Just to be sure after I got the warning I reran it and it could not detect the AVG, I rebooted but no change. I found that the AVG website has a download for a last resort tool that will remove any remaining traces but states that it will remove registry entries, etc. and I remember you said not to use anything you haven't approved so I wanted to check with you before continuing. BTW, the combofix warning states that if I continue without disabling the AVG I will be puting my system at great risk so I will wait til I hear from you before doing the scan.

Thanks,
Becky
 
Oh my! AVG give us so much problem! They have left no way for it to be disabled to run scans, so we uninstall it. But it sounds like the Resident Shield is still active. If you can bypass this and run Combofix, okay- but be sure you have added one of the temporary AV programs so the system will be safe.

If you cannot bypass and Combofix won't run, use the following tool:
AVG Remover eliminates all the parts of your AVG installation from your computer, including registry items, installation files, user files, etc.
Note:
  • AVG user settings will be removed.
  • Virus Vault contents will be removed.
  • All other items related to AVG installation and use will be removed.
  • You will be asked during the removal procedure to restart your computer. Please do so.
  • Make sure there is no open work in process prior to launching AVG Remover.

Hi Bobbye,

Well that was painful, but we got through it. I have attached the logs from the scans. Here is a rundown of how things went. Java is most recent version only now. I turned off the Pinnacle Studio driver check, then ran the Eset scan. Since my computer is soooo slow, that took 15 hours, but it did find two threats. Next I used the appremover to uninstall the AVG, and installed the Avira AV in its place. Then I installed the Combofix and as you know ran into the problem of AVG still being on the system when I tried to run that scan. So I tried to use the AVG removal tool from AVG to fully remove AVG, but I tried running that scan twice and it froze halfway through both times and would not finish. I finally just ran the combo fix anyway. The only problem I had with that was that it asked to install the recovery console but then could not connect to the internet, so after awhile it just ran the scan by itself without installing the recovery console. So should I try to manually install the recovery console in case I need it later? Also, since AVG has caused me so many headaches, do you recommend another good free one I can use long-term? I will just leave Avira on for now. So far, the speed of everything is still slow, so not much of a change after the scans. I also have a text log of the AVG remover scan if you want to see that.

Sorry Becky, I've gotten a bit behind.

As you may have seen in the Eset log, you have the Autorun virus, which, as the name suggests, uses the Autorun.inf feature in the Windows OS that is used for launching the programs that are stored in the removable media such as DVDs, USB Devices, CD ROMs, as well as Memory Sticks.

When your computer is infected, viruses can connect to the malicious web site and install the key logger on your PC. The key logger steals all your private information like usernames, account numbers, social security, passwords, credit card information, as well as other sensitive information. So the possibility exists that the computer has been so compromised that only a reformat/reinstall will restore it, as well as changing all of your passwords and carefully monitoring any online financial transactions you have,

If there is autorun.inf virus in USB drive, each time you insert the removable media and double-click your drives to open it, virus files begin executing and infect your computer: which spreads itself onto the computer by making the multiple copies of the autorun.inf and .exe files on every drive of your computer.

So first, you disinfect the flash drive: And note that if they have been connected to other machines, they may now be infected.

Please disinfect all movable drives
  1. Please download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop.
  2. Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
    Note: Some security programs will flag Flash_Disinfector as being some sort of malware, you can safely ignore these warnings
  3. The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
  4. Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
  5. Reboot your computer when done.

Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don't delete this folder. It will help protect your drives from future infection.
Note that the above should be used on all movable nedia by connecting them when you run the disinfection.

You surely tried to fix things! My compliments to you. What I need to know is if the following made any difference in the CPU usage. If that has been handled, I can remove those entries with script I'm using for other entries to be removed.

Has anything changes from the original problems?
 
Hi Bobbye,

Please do not close my thread. I have been working alot the past few days so haven't had time to try to remove the viruses yet. Can you answer one question before I begin cleaning it? Which items do I need to clean? I will list the drives I have that may have been inserted into the computer in the past 4 months, assuming I got the virus the first week of March when all the slowness started. If you could tell me which ones need to be cleaned and which ones I don't need to worry about. I have two digital cameras with memory cards, one external hard drive, 2 different printers, but I don't think they have any memory cards, several ipods that have music and pictures on them, and we have cell phones although none of them have ever been connected through a usb to the computer so I don't know if it is necessary to clean those. Is my email infected as well? because I do get that remotely on my blackberry. I have burned music cds and movie dvds from the computer during this time. Are those infected too? Can I clean them or should I just throw them away and make new ones when it is clean?

Thanks and I will start cleaning all the drives when I hear back from you.

Becky
 
Becky, I think this may sum it up:
An analysis from Computer Associates:
According to recent reports by SANS Internet Storm Center there is a new trend to transmit malwares through hardware vehicles like USB ports.

Every device plugged into your PC through a USB port is considered a hard drive, and every device considered a hard drive by your PC can be infected by a compromising malware.

........ USB port is a very powerful channel used to transfer information-data between our PC and an external device. Look at –for example- memory sticks, SD cards for digital camera, GPS devices and external hard drives. The malware (a virus) copies itself to every hard drive internal and external altering the AUTORUN.INF file.

It just not only copies itself to other drives, but according to this incident-analysis I found out it also drops other malwares into your PC starting a hidden connection with a Chinese remote malicious server.

Malware authors have taken full advantage of the uses of these devices by so many. And they are also busy on the social networking sites. And so many users participate in file sharing, so the potential for unprotected systems is great!
 
Hi Bobbye,

I cleaned all the USB ports and devices using the Flash Disinfector. It worked with no problems on each item except once when the Avira said it blocked the autorun.inf file for protection. After that happened I simply started over and cleaned that flash drive a second time til I got an ok.

Next I followed your instructions for using Old Timer to remove the viruses. My log is attached to this post but unfortunately the computer is still running slowly. I hope you can see something in the log that we can still try to improve the performance of the computer. I just don't understand why it lags so badly after all I have tried to clean it.

Thanks so much for all your help through this.

Becky

None of the above need to start on boot. None need to be checked on the Startup Menu. Each can be accessed in Programs when needed.

To remove entries from the Startup Menu using the msconfig utility:
  • Click on Start> Run> type in msconfig> enter>
    msconfig_open_xp.gif
  • Click on Selective Startup
  • Choose the Startup tab:
    startup_tab_xp.gif

    All images courtesy NetSquirrel
  • To expand the Command Column, (this shows what the process 'belongs' to) hold left mouse button down on the dividing line on frame above Location and move to the right to expand.
  • Uncheck any processes you do not need to start on boot. This would be all of the processes I listed for the programs above[/b]
    [*] Click on Apply> OK when finished.

NOTE:
When you reboot the system the first time after making changes using the msconfig utility, a nag message comes up that can be ignored and closed after checking 'don't show this message again.' Remain in Selective Startup to retain those changes.
======================================
These programs aren't to go anywhere if you don't start them on boot. They will sit on your hard drive, only using hard drive 'space', but not system resources. They don't do that until you select the program and open it- effectively saying GO!!!
-----------------------------------
Some may be started by a Service, like 'jqs'- that is JavaQuickStart for instance. For that:
Click on start> Run> type in services.msc> enter> double click on Java QuickStart> Change Startup Type to Disabled> Stop the Service........You don't need this to run at all.

If any of the other programs have a Service, that can be changed to Manual instead of Automatic.
