Thank you major geeks

Welcome to Major Geeks!

You're welcome. We are happy to hear it helped you; however if you had a real Vundo infection, it would be in your best interest to attach the logs requested in the READ & RUN ME. Vundo almost always requires additional manual removal steps to totally remove it.

 

You do have a little more to do, but I'm sorry to say I need all of the logs. The below 3 other logs were requested:

• SUPERAntiSpyware
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware <--- looks like you did not even run this
• ComboFix

Also you have more than one antivirus installed. The first few paragraphs of the READ & RUN ME indicated that you must not do this. You have Authentium AntiVirus and iolo AntiVirus installed. One of them must be uninstalled immediately.

 

You probably installed it when you used junk from an ISP that you used at some point. Many offer free security suites and Authentium is often included. When the ISPs software was uninstalled, this should have been removed, but apparently it was not. We will remove it manually when I get the rest of the logs.

 

Uninstall the below old version of Java:
Java(TM) 6 Update 3

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:

O2 - BHO: {47e398a4-baa8-bdfb-40b4-1bc8f8e9b458} - {854b9e8f-8cb1-4b04-bfdb-8aab4a893e74} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vvbrsdjl.dll (file missing)

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

• 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.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• 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.
• 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.

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.

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 run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it.


Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Okay we just learned something. And that is that iolo does not have their own antivirus even though they list a separate startup for one. They are actually using Authentium's antivirus program. Too bad they don't show it that way in Add/Remove programs. Can you please just reinstall this now? It will be easier to do that then to try and restore things from ComboFix's backups. Let me know your status.

Your logs are clean now!

 

You're welcome.


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

1. You can uninstall SUPERAntiSpyware now.
2. We recommed you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as a scanner. It uses no resources except a little disk space until you run a scan.
3. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop & renamed it 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\cf" /u
     • Notes: The space between the cf" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
   • Delete the C:\cf folder from combofix.
4. If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
6. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
8. 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.
9. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
10. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
11. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
12. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
