hi,

I'm having a major problem with my computer, first AVG flagged a WIN32/Heur virus on my sims 2 expansion pack, which i found odd...

this has been the 42nd case where AVG has given a false positive and after reading 8 forums where they said AVG/HEUR = Heuristics i though the same, out of anger and frustration for AVG (at one point it highlighted malware-bytes as a n infection...) removed AVG (except link scanner and one other item, it's in the option when you go to remove.) and installed avast.

now i can't access the internet, programs will not load, (freezing) and when they do if i go to try and update they lock, the'll scan for viruses fine, but it will lock when i try and update. i have disconnected my PC from the internet to avoid further viruses being downloaded.

however i can still get in to safe mode and the computer runs at full speed, so it must be when i boot normally. i'm using avast to try to scan before boot. but still getting nowhere and i can't reinstall because of the one - time codes for a few of my applications.

this post is at my uni machine so logs will take me a day to get. (not in on weekends so if asked on Friday it will be Monday.)

Welcome to TechSpot! I'll help you sort this out.

Going by the complaints of AVG and Win32/Heur we see on this board now, it is most likely that one of three things has happened:
1. AVG released an update that caused it to pick up some processes and label them as Win32/Heur when they are legitimate processes.
2. The system is infected with Win32/Heur.
3. It is an indication of a more serious malware infector such as Virut or Ramnit.

Unfortunately, we don't don't which until we get logs from scans and review them.
==========================================
Edit: Win32/Heur details have been removed as they did not apply.
==========================================
All of the above are the reasons we have to check all of the findings out- to either confirm the finding or look for other malware.
IF you are using a flash drive, it is very possible the infection could have spread through that. So I recommend disinfecting the flash drive first:
You may have a flash drive infection. These worms travel through your portable drives. If they have been connected to other machines, they may now be infected.
  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.
=====================================
When that has been done, if you cannot access the internet with the problem computer to download the following, you can use the flash drive:

Please follow the steps in the Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal thread HERE.

When you have finished, leave the logs for review in your next reply .
NOTE: Logs must be pasted in the replies. Attached logs will not be reviewed.

Please do not use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you, unless I direct you to. Do not use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
====================================
Note: you should have only one antivirus program and one firewall on the system. You should either remove Avast or ZoneAlarm Extreme Security.
Please reboot the computer when through.
 
ok

ok, i'll do that, i'll post the logs on Monday.

keep in mind i am majorly restricted to safe mode.
 
Okay, now that I've scared you to death>> turns out all or most of the AVG find of Win32/Heur , currently, is a False Positive. So you should follow this ASAP: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic162350.html

If t is a F/P, this update will fix it. If it does not and the problems continue, you should continue the scans. If needed, you can download the programs to a Flash Drive, then install them on the problem computer.

IF you don't know if the Flash Drive is clean, do this first:
These worms travel through your portable drives. 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.

i know the initial file was a F/P but i believe it is something Mal ware bytes isn't picking up, after i removed AVG that's when it all started.

==== End Of File ===========================
 
to clarify

i know the initial detected file was a F/P that's why i swaped AVG with Avast, but i beleive it is something that attacked in mid swap.
 
Sorry about that lengthy Win32/Heur write up I left. Of course it was before we realized the bad AVG update was causing the problem-this time. But this finding by AVG can also indicate a file infector like Virut, so we have to check.

But Now you have 2 antivirus programs and 2 firewalls running and that's not good.
AV: ZoneAlarm Extreme Security Antivirus
AV: avast! Antivirus
FW: ZoneAlarm Extreme Security Firewall
FW: ActiveArmor Firewall
>>> There is not enough information in these logs to positively ID this Firewall. It can be legitimate or malware.

Please remove one of each as multiples present vulnerabilities: Please use the removal below for whichever program you do not want to keep:
To uninstall ZoneAlarm:(it appears that you have the suite)

  • [1] Go to Control Center> go to the Preferences tab of the Overview panel.
    [2] Clear the check box labeled Load ZoneAlarm at startup.
    [3] Reboot the computer.
    [4] In Windows start menu: Go to Start> Programs> Zone Labs
    [5] Click Uninstall ZoneAlarm.
    [6] During the uninstallation process, you will see a diaglog box titles "This is a security check from the Zone Labs security engine> Click YES in this dialog box.
(Note about ZoneAlarm: If you decide to keep this suite, I will have you check some Services and settings. There are Errors indicating it isn't functioning correctly)

Avast Removal
Please reboot the computer when through.
======================================
IF you previously had AVG, do you plan to reinstall ir after removing the other AV programs? There are some left over entries.
======================================
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.

virus scanners

zone alarm is my main firewall, it's virus scanner is disabled and not in monitoring mde to not conflict with avast.

active armour is nVidia and i am trying to find a way to disable it.

although i've had it for a year and never had any problem although i thought i unistalled it once.

so i'll either remove it or at lease disable it.

also i can't access Eset NOD32 from my home, my PC is offline, whatever on my pc is stopping me from accessing the internet. i'll run combo fix.

also i have looked and i might be able to disable active armour, but it's built in to the board. (hura hura for asus)
 
Eset NOD32 question?

is there a free non-trial version i could use to get the log from an offline computer?
 
No, you need to be online to run and online virus scanner. I have had a few members download the .exe file on flash drive and run it on problem computer. But since this can't be updated, I don't recommend it.

Please go ahead with Combofix- you can use a flash drive for that. There is a part of Cobofix that checks for the Recovery Console and if you don't have it installed will offer it. But it can't be downloaded offline so just go on to the scan part of Combofix.

I knew Active Armour was associated with Nvidia, but is has not CLSID after it like all the other security programs in the header do. For instance:
AV: avast! Antivirus *Enabled/Updated* {7591DB91-41F0-48A3-B128-1A293FD8233D}
FW: ActiveArmor Firewall *Enabled* no identification

Nvidia forum suggest this:
Click on Active Armor icon in Notification Area.
Set Security Profile to OFF.
That is usually a right click but if that does not bring up the correct screen, try a double click to open.

I am not clear about your online status. Are you staying offline because of suspected malware? Can you actually boot into Normal Mode? Even if it causes problem later, it's important to see what's on the system and some processes don't run in Safe Mode.
.
 
i can boot normally, but my PC slows very quickly, also i can run virus scanners, but my PC locks if i try to access Mozilla, or my anti virus locks if i try to update my AV software. i believe the virus is clogging the access and downloading more malicious software, for this reason i have also unplugged my PC from the internet.

to post these logs i had to run as the admin in safe mode malicious software and then transfer the logs to a flash drive.

OK, post logs tomorrow.
 
combo fix log

ok here's the log, active armour can't be found, it's not in services, add/remove programs and i know i uninstalled it when i built swapped it for zone alarm.

also can't install recovery console while not connected to the internet.

I will remove the Active Armour entry in the Combofix heading. Please tell me if you will be putting AVG back on the system or plan to keep Avast. There are a couple of entries I need ti deal with,

Did you run the Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) when you started?

It would be very helpful if you could 'limp' online long enough to run the Eset Virus scan.
 
i'm keeping with avast

yes i did, as per the start the TFC was used

not to sure if i can get online, when i run a browser it will refuse to acknowledge i have commanded it to open and lock up, also virus scanners freeze if i try to update them. i'll try to limp online tonight but if you don't see a response till tomorrow it's probably because i'm still being blocked.
 
OK, still can't get online, i can access my files but if i try to run an app, browser or anti virus while not in safe mode my pc just locks up on whatever the app was. (will lock up file window if i try to run via program files. will lock up task bar if tried from shortcut or start menu, and will lock up the desktop if i try to use a shortcut on the desktop.

on top of that it's stopping a load of items from booting, (sound handler, avast, zone alarm, etc...)

it seams if i try to connect to the internet, it gets worse. so i am full restricted to the still working safe mode, it says it has downloaded an update, but at the moment it might be best to burn the latest windows XP update to a CD just in case.

will be here till 7:45PM GMT

the only consolation is that i never use this PC for amazon, i have a high security laptop just for that. but this PC is where i do everything that doesn't involve money.

it's already fully recovered from one serios virus a year before so as long as i can use safe mode there must be an answer.

This is getting on my nerves, i want my PC back :(

Just to ease your mind, not everything loads when you're in Safe Mode. And if you choose Safe Mode with Networking, security programs don't load.

I have already started on script for you to run. I noticed in the Event Viewer section that you might not have some Services set correctly:
12/03/2011 18:45:08, error: Service Control Manager [7019] - Circular dependency: The vsdatant service depends on a service in a group which starts later.
12/03/2011 18:45:08, error: Service Control Manager [7017] - Detected circular dependencies demand starting vsdatant.
12/03/2011 18:45:08, error: Service Control Manager [7001] - The TrueVector Internet Monitor service depends on the vsdatant service which failed to start because of the following error: Circular service dependency was specified.

These 3 refer to ZoneAlarm Services. A Service may run on it's own when needed or it may depend on other Services running to start. That what's happening here:

Let's try this- it can be done in Safe Mode:

Click on Start> Run> type in services.msc> enter> Double click on vsmon> Set the Startup type to Automatic> Click on the Dependencies tab> any other Service that THIS Service depends on to run must be set to at least Manual Startup type.

If there is a Service named Vsdatant, set as you did for vsmon.

Go back to the list of Services and find any other Services that were listed as a dependency for vsmon and make sure their Startup type is Manual or Automatic.

Vsdatant is a driver for the ZoneAlarm Firewall service and I think the True Vector Service is vsmon>

I'm going to take a supper break now- give me a while to go over all the logs again.
 
i meant that it wasn't loading when i trying to use normal mode to get online, is there anyway to access the internet via safe mode?
 
vsmon

ok, it's not in services and i think i know why, back when i first got this i updated all my virus scanners, including zone alarm, by using offline updates, for zone alarm to update it has to save the product key in a file, uninstall itself, reconfigure, re-install itself, enter the product key automatically and then it initializes, and initializes the services....

however that can't be done in safe mode... i updated zone alarm on the defiantly after the 12th, so the service hasn't been initalised. but i will do that once i can access it normally.
 
You can access using Safe Mode with Networking- but I don't recommend that because the security programs don't run.

Safe Mode with Networking: Includes the services and drivers needed for network connectivity. Safe mode with networking enables logging on to the network, logon scripts, security, and Group Policy settings. Nonessential services and startup programs not related to networking do not run. Helpful if needed but should be used with caution as the security programs don't load in this mode.
 
ok, it's not in services but when i look at the processes it's still there... weird. but the zone alarm service is there, just not vsmon or Vsdatant.

could they be under a diffrent name?
 
Your security programs are getting 'murky'. Please run the following so we can sort it out:

Security Check

Download Security Check by screen317 from HERE or HERE .
  • 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.

Use a flash drive to download if necessary, then install and run the scan on the problem computer.

here's the log.

keep in mind the out of date stuff is due to lack of internet.
 
I've gone back over the logs to try and find a problem and I cannot. So we will look for a rootkit that may be preventing the access: Please put this on a flash drive, then run on the problem computer:

  • Download the file TDSSKiller.zip and save to the desktop.
    (If you are unable to download the file for some reason, then TDSS may be blocking it. You would then need to download it first to a clean computer and then transfer it to the infected one using an external drive or USB flash drive.)
  • Right-click the tdsskiller.zip file> Select Extract All into a folder on the infected (or potentially infected) PC.
  • Double click on TDSSKiller.exe. to run the scan
  • When the scan is over, the utility outputs a list of detected objects with description.
    The utility automatically selects an action (Cure or Delete) for malicious objects.
    The utility prompts the user to select an action to apply to suspicious objects (Skip, by default).
  • Select the action Quarantine to quarantine detected objects.
    The default quarantine folder is in the system disk root folder, e.g.: C:\TDSSKiller_Quarantine\23.07.2010_15.31.43
  • After clicking Next, the utility applies selected actions and outputs the result.
  • A reboot is required after disinfection.
Please paste log in next reply.

About this:
by using offline updates
Anytime you update security programs, you should be online. That's the only way you can be sure you're getting the most current ones. My take on this comment is that somehow you saved updates and applied them when you were offline.

Please give me a current description of the ongoing problems.
