Help with removing stubborn trojan horses

Welcome to MG's!

Do this first>

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

Open HJT and do a 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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now:

Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

I gave you instructions to first open HJT ( that you attached in your first post ) and check the box for each of the items I listed and then click Fix!

After doing that, I need you to run and attach to your next reply ( in this order ):
SAS
MBAM
RootRepeal
ComboFix
C:\MGTools.exe ---> log is produced at C:\MGLogs.zip.

That is all I want you to do. Attach those logs and do nothing with system restore until we are sure you are clean.

 

I am frankly surprised this system runs at all!! You need at a minumum 4 times the amount of RAM you have:
Total Physical Memory 256.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 65.21 MB

It appears as though you did not run the HJT fix from my first post to you. Plus the MBAM log that you attached indicates that you did not fix what it found. You other logs appear to indicate that you did.

It is a very bad idea to allow all users to have Admin. privileges!! You will need to run SAS and MBAM on all user accounts now.

Please take ComboFix out of the folder and put it directly on your desktop, not here:
c:\documents and settings\Yiannis\My Documents\Downloads\ComboFix.exe

It should be here:
c:\documents and settings\Yiannis\Desktop\ComboFix.exe

Your SAS log is here:

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Yiannis\Application Data\SUPERAntiSpyware.com\SUPERAntiSpyware\Logs\"
supera~1.log  27 Feb 2010        2351  "SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log - 02-27-2010 - 10-34-21.log"

Now, 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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now to be doubly sure:
Reset Host File

• Open Notepad.
• Copy and Paste everything from the Code Box below into Notepad: (Do not include the word Code:)
  Code:

  @Echo off
  pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
  attrib -h -s -r hosts
  echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
  attrib +r +h +s hosts
  popd
  del %0

• Go to File >> Save As
• Save File name as FixHosts.bat
• Change Save as Type to All Files and save the file to your Desktop.

Now double click on the desktop FixHosts.bat to run the batch file. It will self-delete when completed.

* Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
* Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
* If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
* Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):

Code:

KILLALL::

File::
c:\windows\Mlewuyuruw.bin
c:\windows\Xsepadosexasux.dat
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\hlktmp
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LPBLHKTCG

Folder::
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\hlktmp
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LPBLHKTCG

Registry::
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MSMSGS"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset001\services\tcpip\parameters\interfaces\{d8ccfe83-9ea7-4abb-aba1-f1a45f4cc4ef}]
"DhcpNameServer"=""

* Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
* At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
* You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
If it asks you to overide the prvevious file with the same name, click YES.
* Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

* Follow the prompts.
* When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
* I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

* C:\ComboFix.txt
* C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You need to install an AV program that is not resource hungry. Or install a lot more RAM. ( You can go to crucial.com and have it scan your computer to tell you how much RAM your system can handle.) SAS and MBAM are backup scanners, not AV full time programs ( unless you purchase them). I might suggest that you consider either Avira or Avast.

Your logs are clean.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
5. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
7. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
8. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 of the READ ME for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Quite a few processes run on the svchost file. That is quite normal. Nothing to be concerned about. If you want to control your start up programs, you can use this:
