back again... another Virus adventure

You are not using copies of GetRunKey and ShowNew from the current READ ME. You are way out of date. Download and use the current versions from now on. Don't attach new logs yet until doing the below.

First you need to re-run ConterSpy and this time Quarantine or Delete what it finds. There is no sense in running the scans if you are going to Ignore what they find. Save a new log and attach it where requested below.

1. Download this file - combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log ( C:\combofix.txt ) for you. Attach this log to your next reply

Note:

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


Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

1. CounterSpy
2. GetRunKey
3. ShowNew
4. HJT
5. the ComboFix log

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Actually you ignored Bearshare which is bundled with malware. You need to uninstall this program and not use it anymore. Then you should re-reun CounterSpy again and if it finds more stuff from Bearshare, Quarantine it. Attach another new log from CounterSpy.

Don't worry about speed problems until you are clean and I have had you uninstall any unnecessary stuff we installed to fix your PC.

You did not install and run both GetRunKey and ShowNew as requested on the download pages. You must follow the directions there and extract all files from the ZIP files and make sure you do not try to run the programs from inside of the ZIP file. Also check to see if you get any of the error messages mentioned. Re-attach new logs from them.

I cannot work up a full fix until I get proper logs.

 

That is exactly what is supposed to happen. ZIP files don't run. They must be opened using a ZIP file extraction utility and one is built into Windows XP by default. It is rather limited but it does work. And what you did by removing the files from the ZIP and into their own folder is basically what was requested (i.e., extract the files into their own folder).


Okay uninstall the CounterSpy trial program since we are finished with it now and it has removed what we wanted to remove. Do this now before continuing.

You should delete the below files wasting over 1.5 Gig of diskspace

Code:

"C:\"
1ba.tmp       Jul 27 2007    50332160  "1BA.tmp"
1e5.tmp       Jul 27 2007    50332160  "1E5.tmp"
266.tmp       Jul 27 2007    50332160  "266.tmp"

Now continue by downloading a tool we will need

- Process Explorer

Extract it to its own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate it later.

Make sure you have rebooted in Normal Mode (do not open any other processes)

Make sure that one and only one Internet Explorer browser is opened up

- Run Process Explorer

In the top section of the Process Explorer screen double click on winlogon.exe to bring up the winlogon.exe properties screen. Click on the Threads tab at the top.

Once you see this screen click on each instance of any of the below DLL files (if found) and then click the kill button.
vsdcpneh.dll
geebb.dll
jkkkkhf.dll

After you have killed all instances of any of the above DLLs under winlogon click ok.
(If you do not find these DLLS, just continue on.)

Next double click on explorer.exe and again click once on each instance of any of the below DLL files (if found) and then click the kill button.
vsdcpneh.dll
geebb.dll
jkkkkhf.dll

After you have killed all instances of any of the above DLLs under Explorer click ok.
(If you do not find these DLLS, just continue on.)

Next double click on iexplore.exe and again click once on each instance of any of the below DLL files (if found) and then click the kill button.
vsdcpneh.dll
geebb.dll
jkkkkhf.dll

After you have killed all instances of any of the above DLLs under iexplore click ok.
(If you do not find these DLLS, just continue on.)

Now just exit Process Explorer.

Run 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) - {2AF4E144-B739-4107-884C-49C94F797902} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\geebb.dll (file missing)

The below is a Remote Control background application for CyberLink's PowerDVD which enables you to use a remote control with your DVD drive if your drive came with one. Not required if you don't have a remote control, or don't wish to use one. Have HJT fix this line if you don't use a Remote Control.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RemoteControl] "C:\Program Files\CyberLink DVD Solution\PowerDVD\PDVDServ.exe"

O20 - Winlogon Notify: jkkkkhf - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\jkkkkhf.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: vtutq - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutq.dll (file missing)


After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

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.

Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, 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.
• Check the 'Input script manually' box.
• Click on the magnifying glass icon.
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it in the box that opens:

• Now click the 'Done' button.
• Click on the traffic light icon and OK the prompt.
• You will be prompted to restart, OK the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt

Now run Ccleaner!

Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

1. Avenger
2. GetRunKey
3. ShowNew
4. HJT

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 8 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

 

Make sure it uninstalls and that all lines for it in your HJT log go away. These are the lines:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SBCSTray] C:\Program Files\Sunbelt Software\CounterSpy\SBCSTray.exe
O23 - Service: Sunbelt CounterSpy Antispyware (SBCSSvc) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Sunbelt Software\CounterSpy\SBCSSvc.exe (file missing)

Uninstall your old version of FireFox and then reboot. Don't skip the reboot. The download the current version here: Mozilla Firefox Install this and see if things work now.

Yes you can delete these now.

Yes this one:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mljjg.dll

Not necessary. Just do the above and then move on to the below if you are not having any other malware issues.

It is time to do our final steps:

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
   • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
2. If we used ComboFix, you can delete the ComboFix.exe file, C:\ComboFix folder, C:\QooBox folder, C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe, and the C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
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 your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
8. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
9. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
10. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    • go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
11. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
