Hey all,

Got infected a few days ago, and since then IE will not work. The window comes up, but soon becomes unresponsive. Chrome and Firefox both work, though. Also, I can't click on any of the desktop shortcuts to open. I have to first right-click, then select open. Same for any programs in the Start menu. Have to right-click and select open. Using right-click and open to access Control Panel doesn't work, however.

No idea what else might not be working right.

I'd previously run Malwarebytes, AVG, and Avast. They all found and removed some problems for me, but still having the above issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for your time.

Requested logs coming next.

Hello, and welcome to TechSpot.


rulesx.png
Please see here for the board rules and other FAQ.

Please feel free to introduce yourself, after you follow the steps below to get started.

Information
  • From this point on, please do not make any more changes to your computer; such as install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc. - unless advised by a malware removal helper.
  • Please do not ask for help elsewhere (in this site or other sites). Doing so can result in system changes, which may not show up in the logs you post.
  • If you have already asked for help somewhere, please post the link to the topic you were helped.
  • We try our best to reply quickly, but for any reason we do not reply in two days, please reply to this topic with the word BUMP!
  • Lastly, keep in mind that we are volunteers, so you do not have to pay for malware removal. Persist in this topic until its close, and your computer is declared clean.

ComboFix

Please download ComboFix
combofix.gif
by sUBs
From BleepingComputer.com

Please save the file to your Desktop, but rename it first to svchost.exe

Important information about ComboFix

Before the download:
  • Please copy and paste these instructions to Notepad and save to your Desktop, or print them - for easier access.
  • It is important to rename ComboFix before the download.
  • Please do not rename ComboFix to other names, but only the one indicated.
After the download:
  • Close any open browsers.
  • 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". Please visit here if you don't know how.
  • 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.
Running ComboFix:
  • Double click on svchost.exe & follow the prompts.
  • It will attempt to install the Recovery Console:
  • When ComboFix finishes, it will produce a report for you.
  • Please post the "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" in your next reply.
Troubleshooting ComboFix

Safe Mode:

If you still cannot get ComboFix to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

(To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows
logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode.")

Re-downloading:

If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but try to download it again, except name
ComboFix.exe to iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, or winlogon.exe.

Malware is known for blocking all "user" processes, except for its whitelist of system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe.
 
Thanks for assisting me, DragonMasterJay.

Ran Combofix as requested. Everything ran as you described, but I do not see a "Combo-Fix.txt" file in C:\.

There is an icon labeled "ComboFix" that looks like the "My Computer" icon. Looking at the properties, it says it is a folder. Inside the folder are the exact same items as in "My Computer", only the folder is named "ComboFix" Inside that folder you can open "C:\" which has another folder "ComboFix" in it which again has the same contents as "My Computer." You can keep following this recursive loop of folders seemingly forever, and have multiple "ComboFix" and "C:\" folders open.

Is this normal?
 
Disregard last post. Saw in another post reference to getting stuck at Combo-Fix will now reboot your machine" etc. I never got that. The machine just rebooted. Figuring the machine had crashed, I re-ran ComboFix. Everything worked right this time, and the "ComboFix" folder I mentioned before is gone.

Here's the log.

ESET Online Scan

Please run a free online scan with the ESET Online Scanner
  • Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use
  • Click Start
  • When asked, allow the ActiveX control to install
  • Click Start
  • Make sure that the options Remove found threats and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked
  • Click Scan (This scan can take several hours, so please be patient)
  • Once the scan is completed, you may close the window
  • Use Notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
  • Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic
 
At present, I can now get to the Control Panel (think ComboFix did that), and instead of starting and becoming non-responsive, IE now starts connecting, and then just crashes and disappears. Also, recently noticed I can't bring up Windows Media Player. I hadn't tried before starting this thread, so I don't know if it was a problem before or not (I'm guessing it was).

Anyway, here's the log from ESET.

Please download Security Check by screen317 from SpywareInfoforum.org or Changelog.fr.
  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
  • A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

Tell me in your next reply, if you have completed these tasks:
  • Cleaned System Restore
  • Ran OTC
  • Ran TFC
  • Ran Security Check
Also, let me know how your computer is running, and don't forget to post the contents of the Security Check log.
 
Ok...finished those steps. I still can't get IE to run. The window still comes up saying "Connecting..." then after a second or two it just disappears. Windows Media Player also isn't running (window never comes up on that one).

As for the double click problem, there is some progress there. As previously reported, I can now get to the control panel, and I can now double click to bring up some file types like folders, pictures and executables on the desktop. However, still can't bring up shortcuts on the desktop with double click (have to right-click and select open). Same with Start -> All Programs. When I left click on the program to start it, nothing happens. If I right click and select open, things run as expected.

Also, thinking maybe the shortcuts were just broken, I tried to create a couple new shortcuts on the desktop. I tried to create a new shortcut for Firefox, but when I got to the end to "Finish" and create the shortcut, I got an error saying "Unable to create shortcut." I tried again, and got the message "A shortcut named firefox already exists in this folder. Do you want to replace it?" I chose "Yes" and got the "Unable to create shortcut" error again.

Any ideas?

Anyway, today and the next couple of days, I'm working 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. so will only be able to reply when I get home after that. So sorry that it will take me so long to reply.

And, again, thank you very much for your time in assisting me with this problem, DMJ.

Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.
 
Doesn't seem to be any change. I did not install the new versions of Java, Flash Player, or Adobe Reader because I was unable to uninstall the older versions of Java or Adobe Reader. When attempting to uninstall those programs I got a message saying "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."

Flash Player did uninstall, but I didn't want to install anything else until I hear from you.

Here are the 3 logs from RogueKiller, though.

Let's take a different look here...

Go to Start > Run, type in CMD and hit OK.

Type this in the Command Line and hit enter:

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

Should be a confirmation, and then reboot your system. Let me know if this worked.
 
No joy. The problem persists. The following is the confirmation from the window after everything ran.

"Task is completed. Some files in the configuration are not found on this system
so security cannot be set/queried. It's ok to ignore.
See log %windir%\security\logs\scesrv.log for detail info."

Do you need or want a copy of the log?

Thanks for your continued efforts, DMJ.
 
Nothing has changed since running the above Command Line.

IE still tries to connect for a second or two, and the window disappears.

Windows Media Player won't come up at all.

On the Desktop, I can now double-click to open files and executables, but shortcuts still have to be right-clicked and opened.

I can open the Control Panel now, but I still can't use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall Adobe Reader or Java. I still get the message about "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed." after confirming that I want to remove them.
 
WMIC Failure

You currently have what is called a WMIC failure, which happens when the Windows Management Instrumentation has been completely damaged.

As a victim of this in the past, the only way to solve this problem is a reformat and reinstall of the operating system.

Signs of WMIC failure:

-Common Windows programs, such as Windows Search, Windows Help and Support, Windows System Information, etc. do not work properly.

-Apparent lack of control over the computer, via the user.

-Odd disruption in functionality of normal Windows programs. Resource disruption.

-Some Windows Services give a "WMI Error" when trying to configure them.


Your computer has presented at least two of these issues. It is recommended to proceed with the reformat and reinstall.

You can easily back up data, and do the operation. It will save us time, and we will not be running around in circles.

Let me know what you want to do.
 
Ok. Those are the breaks, I guess.

I can handle the reformat and reinstall, DMJ. Just have to get my disks out of storage.

Thanks a lot for all your help and time spent with this issue.
 
You're welcome. We did the best possible ways to check things out. When I began seeing issues with the same symptoms showing in the event log, it became clear the WMIC was failing.

WMIC failure is one of the single most important reasons people have to reformat and reinstall their operating system. It has mostly to do with virus infections, because virus infections tend to infect the WMI console to try and tell the OS that the antivirus is out of date or that the existence of an antivirus is not there.

Rogue antivirus software tend to do this the most, because they want the user's attention on the fake antivirus software rather than their real software. But, when things go awry, the virus infection may damage the WMIC inevitably leading to a catastrophic failure of the operating system.

But, anyway, if you have anymore questions, PM me. Otherwise, this topic marked as solved. √
