Almost There: Malware Removal

programmer04 · Oct 21, 2009

I had a serious infestation of trojans, adware, and other issues after downloading a file from a trusted website in which I have been a member of for several years. I am running Vista 32-bit and I followed everything on the "Read and Run First" sticky post for my OS.

I am now down to a message when Windows starts up that says something like "Error loading d3dpwi.dll. Module could not be found." I don't recognize this driver and I'm assuming that there is still something dirty in the registry that is trying to call on this driver.

The only other thing is the mysterious appearance of 2 "desktop.ini" files, in hidden mode, that are now on my desktop. They showed up after I ran the malware programs listed on this site.

Also, I couldn't get RootRepeal or ComboFix to work. RootRepeal would crash after a while and ComboFix caused my computer to crash with the blue screen of death, twice. To be honest though, I made the assumption that all was right with msconfig. Then, out of curiosity, I checked it and found that the Startup Selection was set to "Selective Startup" with all options checked.

So, what do you think? How do I get rid of that message at startup? Do you still want to see the files, or should I start the process over?

Please attach the logs you have.

I included the RootRepeal crash log. I don't know if ComboFix has a crash log or if you even need it.

What exactly happened when you ran ComboFix?

These are likely the cause of your infection:
Trojan.Dropper/Packed
F:\WINDOWS\POWERISO\KEYMAKER\KEYGEN.EXE

Trojan.Agent/Gen-FSG
F:\DOWNLOADS\SCREENSAVERS\KEYGEN.EXE

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Sgegowac] rundll32.exe "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\d3dpwi.dll",Startup
O21 - SSODL: gujitesiz - {a4cb1767-2397-4cd0-8585-987aef58c7b4} - c:\windows\system32\zelisiso.dll (file missing)
O22 - SharedTaskScheduler: kupuhivus - {a4cb1767-2397-4cd0-8585-987aef58c7b4} - c:\windows\system32\zelisiso.dll (file missing)
Click to expand...

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\Explorer\sharedtaskscheduler]
"{a4cb1767-2397-4cd0-8585-987aef58c7b4}"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad]
"gujitesiz"=-

Click to expand...

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.

Now download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

* Extract+ avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
* Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
* -Do not change any check box options!!
* Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:
