Hello,

I recently started to randomly get Internet Explorer popup advertisements, audio advertisements (with no window, just audio), and my antivirus comes up with alerts that trojans have tried to access (They go into quarantine)

I was not able to finish GMER (computer restarts), and was not able to save the results in safe mode due to the low resolution and not being able to access the save button. I ran Malwarebytes and it found nothing and symntec also found nothing. Generally speaking I am not able to find anything when I scan. I just get pop ups/audio and alerts.

Also, I did ctrl at delete to look at the programs running and there are multiple iexplore.exe programs running even though there is not. There is also clicking sounds like someone is clicking links when I'm not

Thank you for your help.

Also, my problems only happen when I am connected to the internet, when I'm offline (turned off wi-fi switch) I don't really have issues
 
Whoops! This got right by me: you are running multiple antivirus programs:

AV: AntiVir Desktop
AV: avast! Antivirus
AV: Symantec Endpoint Protection


Please remove two of these as multiple antivirus programs can make the system more vulnerable as well as slow if down. Here are tools to help> only download for the ones you want to remove:

Norton Removal Tool
Avast Removal
To uninstall Avira:
  • Start> Settings> Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs (Windows 2000/ XP) or Start - Control Panel - Uninstall a program (Windows Vista / 7)
  • Wait for the list of installed programs to load, then click the name of the Avira program.
  • Click Remove next to the program's name (Windows 2000 / XP) or in the menu above the list (Windows Vista / 7).
  • Press Yes, to confirm the removal and then OK.
  • . Click Next until Finish. The software is removed.
Reboot the computer when finished.
===================================
Most of us don't have a problem when we're offline! I'd like you to handle the AV problem first, then do the following:

Download Bootkit Remover and save to your Desktop
  1. You then need to extract the remover.exe file from the RAR using a program capable of extracting RAR compressed files. If you don't have an extraction program, you can use 7-Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/
  2. After extracting remover.exe to your Desktop, double-click on remover.exe to run the program (Vista/7 users,right click on remover.exe and click Run As Administrator.
  3. You will see a Black screen with some data on it.
  4. Right click on the screen and click Select All.
  5. Press CTRL+C to Copy
  6. Open a Notepad and press CTRL+V to Paste.
  7. Include the report in your next post.
Credits to Broni
====================================
Follow with this online scan:

Run Eset NOD32 Online AntiVirus scan HEREhttp://www.eset.eu/online-scanner
  1. Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
  2. Click Start
  3. When asked, allow the Active X control to install
  4. Disable your current Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notification Tray icon near the clock.
  5. Click Start
  6. Make sure that the option "Remove found threats" is Unchecked, and the option "Scan unwanted applications" is checked
  7. Click Scan
  8. Wait for the scan to finish
  9. Re-enable your Antivirus software.
  10. A logfile is created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please include this on your post.
 
I wanted to confirm something before I did it.

If I disable my antivirus and run an online virus scan/ connect to the internet, won't the trojans be able to infect my computer? Since nothing is protecting me while I'm online?

For the online scanner, should "Scan archives," "Scan for potentially unsafe applications." Be checked? and should I enable anti-stealth technology?

Thanks

Also, I just did ctrl at delete to look at the programs running and there are multiple iexplore.exe programs running even though there is not.
 
Download the program with the AV enabled. Once downloaded, you can go Offline to run the scans.

Please follow the directions for the scan> don't check any processes that aren't mentioned
 
I removed Avira and Avast and ran the requested programs. Attached are the logs. Thanks for your help so far!

Please try this again:
  • Open Notepad
  • Copy and paste the text in the codebox into Notepad:
    Code:
    @ECHO OFF
    START 
    remover.exe fix \.\PhysicalDrive0 
    EXIT
  • Go File > Save As

  • For File Name type fix.bat

Run remover.exe again and post its output.

Do NOT reboot computer!
==================================
Are you running any disc emulation software? Examples would be DAEMON Tools, Virtual CD, Phantom Burner and Original CD Emulator. That can cause the logs to report an issue with your MBR files. If running remover.exe doesn't work again, I'll give instructions for disabling the emulation program.
 
I opened notepad again and pasted the information and saved as directed and opened the program.

Next I ran remover.exe and attached are the results.

I'm pretty sure that no disc emulation software is running bc this is my dad's computer and he just uses it for work, ie Outlook, etc. Is there a way to check if there is disc emulation software running?
 
when I try to attach it says:

logafter second try.txt:
You have already attached this file in thread : Random IE popups & audio ads, also trojan alerts

The file has a different name, the log has the same text as the first remover.exe log upload I did earlier.

Done;

I was looking at the other posts to try to see why it wasn't working and on your notepad copy/paste code there is a new line after START which wasn't in some other posts, so I removed the new line and ran it and attached the log. Thanks :)

I've been using the computer and pop ups are still coming up

Thank you. Yes, somehow one of the slashes got left off. I fixed it 3 times yesterday then finally rewrote the whole thing: correct line should have been:
remover.exe fix \\.\PhysicalDrive0

There are times though that even with correct code, it doesn't work the first time and had to be done again.

I will be out until after lunch. I will then go over everything you've done and determine where to go next. You are getting pop-ups ads, some with audio and they are in an Internet Explorer Windows- is that correct?

Has there been any change in them at all since we started?
 
Yes, The pop-ups/audio ads only occur with Internet Explorer. There was a popup after I ran the fix.bat and there hasn't been any changes since we started and I've only ran the tests you've told me too.
 
I restarted my computer and I have not experienced anything weird, so I think it's fixed? unless you have any other tests that you believe I should run.
 
I am having to retype the remover.exe line everytime I put the code in! Really weird that one of the slashed gets dropped! I'd like to run run a scan with HijackThis jsut to make sure there are no bad entries loading. I'll check that, then have you remove the cleaning tools we used:

Choose v2.0.4:
Download the HijackThis Installer HERE and save to the desktop:
  1. Double-click on HJTInstall.exe to run the program.
  2. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
  3. Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
  4. Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
  5. Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
  6. Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  7. Come back here to this thread and paste (Ctrl+V) the log in your next reply.

NOTE: Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
 
heh, I hope there weren't too many Copy/Paste fixes!

I had script written for you to run in Combofix, but we got sidetracked with the Bootkit and I never gave it to you! But I want to make sure that you have kept Symantec as the antivirus. Is that correct?

One other question or verification: you have this entry in the Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\session manager]
BootExecute REG_MULTI_SZ autocheck xmnt2002 /bat=c:\windows\TEMP\PQ_BATCH.PQB /win=c:\windows /dbg=c:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_DEBUG.TXT /ver=262144 /prd=PartitionMagic\0autocheck autochk *


Are you currently using Partition Magic?
 
Hello,

Yes, I am currently only using symantec and I do not use partition magic, though it seems to be owned by symantec so maybe it installed it.
 
Custom CFScript


  • [1]. Close any open browsers.
    [2]. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
    [3]. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the code below into it:
Code:
File::
c:\windows\avastSS.scr
c:\program files\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\sched.exe

Folder::
C:\VundoFix Backups
c:\program files\Alwil Software
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Alwil Software
c:\windows\system32\NtmsData
c:\documents and settings\Cam Nguyen\Application Data\Avira
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Avira

Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\security center\Monitoring\SymantecAntiVirus]
"DisableMonitoring"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"avgnt"=-
"avast5"=-

RegLock::
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\User Preferences]

Driver::
AntiVirSchedulerService
FCopy::
Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe
