Trojan fever

You really should learn to read all of the stickies

Don't Bump! It only Hurts You!!!

The above was even given to you in the READ & RUN ME.

This bump cost you at least 2 more days.


You are way way out of date with your version of Malwarebytes. You need to always keep your programs updated. Now run Malwarebytes and click the Update tab. Then click the Check for Updates button so you update to the current version of the program and database. Then run a new scan with it too. Attach the new log.


I strongly recommended you cut down on the use of all the P2P and torrent download programs. Did you know that many forums will not help you at all until all of these are uninstalled. We may soon be demanding this too.

Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
Java(TM) 6 Update 7



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.
• 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 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.


After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

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:

• the new Malwarebytes log
• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Use whatever others are using but that should not be Windows Messenger which was discontinued by Microsoft a very long time ago. Their current messengers are Windows Live Messenger and also Microsoft Communicator.

If this is a PC used for work, why would you risk using things like BitTorrent, DNA, eMule, and LimeWire. In many companies, this would be grounds for termination You risk having company and/or customer information being stolen and if the later occurs, you risk having a large law suit.

Many of these infections we are currently removing are probably due to using these programs. If these programs are still on your PC the next time you have to come here for help, we will possibly refuse to help you.

No! Please do not run anything that we do not ask you to run. This was stated in the READ & RUN ME. It is only finding things we have already removed and confusing the cleanup process. After we finish your cleanup you can run whatever you want. Until then, please run only what we ask you to run. Don't even run MBAM or SAS again unless we ask you to do so.


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: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UserFaultCheck] %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -u
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [User1] C:\Documents and Settings\User1\User1.exe /i
O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-18\..\Run: [User1] C:\Documents and Settings\User1\User1.exe /i (User 'SYSTEM')
O4 - Startup: zqosys32.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.




Now we need to use ComboFix again.

• 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 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.

Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

Now download the current version of MGtools and save it to your root folder. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

Run MGtools.exe ( Note: If using Vista make sure UAC is still disabled. Also don't double click on it, use right click and select Run As Administrator )




Now attach the below log:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome. Your logs are clean. You just need to boot your system into normal startup mode with MSconfig as requested in step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. What are you trying to control in the boot.ini file?

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.
3. 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" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" 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:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
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. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
8. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 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:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

See step 1 of the READ & RUN ME and put your PC into Normal Startup mode with MSconfig and it will not be an issue.

It is a waste of time to just tell us the name of an infection without saying exactly where it is being detected. We need full path file names or registry keys. A log is most useful. However if you have not complete our final instructions which remove things from ComboFix quarantines and toggled System Restore, you could just be finding things that are not issues.

 

You're welcome.

Normal Startup means that is how you should normally be running. Selective Startup is only meant for temporary debugging. See the info and link given in step 1 of the READ ME.
