BACKGROUND INFO: I got these lovely gifts from BlastMagazine's website, the article titled "Get ready for the future: Rundown of IPv6 supported routers", which is the first news article when searcing for "IVP6" using Google. Just a warning if anybody else sees that, I already reported it to Google too. There was an infected JavaScript ad that ran when I went there and that was it (SEO poisoned again - this is the same way I got infected last time!).

Saw a suspicious firewall alert from Outpost and shut it down. Then the exe responsible caught NOD32's attention and it looked like it had killed it (it was Sirefef.W). I think it had already dropped something else though since C:\Windows\System32\Services.msc got infected with Win64/Patched.B.Gen. NOD32 detected that while it was trying to modify svchost.exe. It can't clean or delete it though, but it stops it. Somewhere along the way NOD32 also found C:\Users\Greg\AppData\Temp\ms0cfg32.exe, a variant of Win64/Sirefef.EV, which could also be deleted (since it was running and I couldn't kill it via task manager). I quickly put Services.exe to allow no activity and then put my fireewall into block all mode, so I had no internet access.

In the next post I'll include log info and the 5 steps pinned at the top of the forum.

Next....

Restart normally.

Please download ComboFix from Here, Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**
  • Never rename Combofix unless instructed.
  • Close any open browsers.
  • Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • 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".
  • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
  • Close any open browsers.
  • 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.
  • Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

  • NOTE1. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
    NOTE 2. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always do so.
  • When finished, it will produce a report for you.
  • Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt"
**Note 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall
**Note 2 for AVG and CA Internet Security (Total Defense Internet Security) users: ComboFix will not run until AVG/CA Internet Security is uninstalled as a protective measure against the anti-virus. This is because AVG/CA Internet Security "falsely" detects ComboFix (or its embedded files) as a threat and may remove them resulting in the tool not working correctly which in turn can cause "unpredictable results". Since AVG/CA Internet Security cannot be effectively disabled before running ComboFix, the author recommends you to uninstall AVG/CA Internet Security first.
Use AppRemover to uninstall it: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5514-appremover.html
We can reinstall it when we're done with CF.
**Note 3: If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registery key that has been marked for deletion", restart computer to fix the issue.
**Note 4: Some infections may take some significant time to be cured. As long as your computer clock is running Combofix is still working. Be patient.


Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE.
If, for some reason, Combofix refuses to run, try one of the following:

1. Run Combofix from Safe Mode.

2. Delete Combofix file, download fresh one, but rename combofix.exe to your_name.exe BEFORE saving it to your desktop.
Do NOT run it yet.
Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.
There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose Run as Administrator
You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

* Rkill.com
* Rkill.scr
* Rkill.exe
  • Double-click on the Rkill icon to run the tool.
  • If using Vista or Windows 7 right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator.
  • A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
  • If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.
  • If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.
  • Do not reboot until instructed.
  • If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.
Once you've gotten one of them to run, immediately run your_name.exe by double clicking on it.

If normal mode still doesn't work, run BOTH tools from safe mode.

In case #2, please post BOTH logs, rKill and Combofix.

DO NOT make any other changes to your computer (like installing programs, using other cleaning tools, etc.), until it's officially declared clean!!!

Here is the fixlog. I will start Combofix as soon as you see you this posted.

"Deleted by moderator"

I successfully predicted what you were setting me up to do that there. (he he)
 
Part 2 (of 2)

"Deleted by moderator"

It looks like the infection was removed via FRST. NOD32 gave me no errors. However I am still missing those IP services I listed above. Can I get them reinstalled or something?

  • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows: OTL.txt and Extras.txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
  • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post them back here.
 
Sorry for the delay again. Every time you post a response, I am about 10-15 minutes late to seeing it! I wish it would beep when it gets a new replay. Anyways... a quick update.

Win64/Patched.B.Gen was fixed by FRST. Even NOD32 was reporting nothing. The services I listed above were not working though before I started running ComboFix. They are all are needed network security so I was leery to go online, and thinking that the stuff you are having me run wouldn't pay attention to the damaged services.

However, after ComboFix restarted my computer or SOMETHING happened, they are all back. I checked them. I don't know if it happened after ComboFix did another restart that I missed, but it looks like the services issue is solved! I didn't know ComboFix could do stuff with services like that!

My computer looks about clean and pristine right now. Instead of reinstalling Malware Bytes again, can I just run the one I had already installed?
 
Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

Wow, I can't believe I never saw that post AT ALL. I was refreshing the page and seriously checking, I swear. I'll try to do it, but for now I have tons of files and such open that would time to close and I need to go to bed soon so this is not possible. I will do it tomorrow (probably at like 4pm) and then post back.
