Is my system clean now?

PRODUCER · May 23, 2007

Spybot showed that I had Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888 yesterday and I started getting IE popups like crazy so I did a search and found you guys.

Norton popped up with "Infostealer" "Downloader xc23[1]" and "Trojan H (antzom[1]" and I noticed most of the popups were from Outerinfo. Some other alerts were winlogon.exe, !update.exe, Yazzle11620inAdmin.exe, win1A.tmp.exe, etc

I followed the 15 step instructions and so far so good:

AVG Anti-Rootkit Scan= No Rootkits
Ad-Aware Scan= CLEAN
AVG Antivirus Scan= CLEAN
Spybot= CLEAN

I attached all documents except VirtumundoBeGone v1.5 because 5 is the limit

I want to be thorough so sorry if I posted too many. I do business on this computer so I want to make sure I am clean.

Thanks a lot, you guys have a great site here and we appreciate all the help

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Your system is far from clean.

Go to add remove programmes in your control panel and uninstall anything to do with(if there).

Viewpoint

Close control panel.

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 from HERE. Save it to your Desktop and extract it.

2. Download the attached avengerscript.txt and save it to your desktop

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by double clicking on its icon on your desktop.

Under "Script file to execute" choose "Load script from file".
Now click on the folder icon which will open a new window titled "open Script File"
navigate to the file you have just downloaded, click on it and press open
Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:

It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

5. Please attach the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply, as well fresh HJT and Combofix logs.

Thanks for the quick reply and help

I removed Viewpoint Media Player and then ran the other stuff. Not sure if you wanted me to post the Avenger.txt into my reply or just attach it, if you need me to paste it just let me know

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how HERE.

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE.

Run HJT with no other programmes open. Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {14420F23-DDA4-4377-9B61-45701F8B4187} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddayx.dll (file missing)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {CC504239-F1D7-AB7C-DF0B-83ADDCCA7295} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\guhfb.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Reminder] "C:\Windows\Creator\Remind_XP.exe"

O20 - Winlogon Notify: winowl32 - winowl32.dll (file missing)

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Locate and delete the following bold files and/or directories(if there).

C:\WINDOWS\?racle<Delete the entire folder.
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\APPLIC~1\?ssembly<Delete the entire folder.
C:\windows\ALCXMNTR.EXE
C:\Program Files\Viewpoint<Delete the entire folder.

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.
