One Bad Mutha

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Run the below steps in the order written.

Are the below lines valid items that you configured? If not, add them to the HijackThis fix.
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = proxy.mycompany.com:5200
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = was.myhost.com;<local>

We don't recommend adding items to the Trusted Zone unless absolutely required. It is rarely a necessity. So reconsider whether the below are really required.

Now let's begin by stopping a bad service.

• Click on Start, then Run ... type services.msc into the box that opens up, and press 'OK'.
• On the page that opens, scroll down to ICF
• then right click the entry, select Properties and press Stop Service.
• When it shows that it is stopped, next please set the Start-up Type to 'Disabled'.
• Click OK until you get back to Windows.

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
J2SE Development Kit 5.0 Update 7
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 7
Sunbelt CounterSpy <--- We are finished with this trial program now.
Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.3)
Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

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

Then install the current version of FireFox from: Mozilla Firefox

If you need the Sun Java Development kit you can get it here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

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.
cptbwarrmofx.dll
iehajuwxexuq.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.
cptbwarrmofx.dll
iehajuwxexuq.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.
cptbwarrmofx.dll
iehajuwxexuq.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:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QD FastAndSafe] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [gf1.0.0.2] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ggf.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: cptbwarrmofx - C:\WINDOWS\system32\cptbwarrmofx.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: iehajuwxexuq - C:\WINDOWS\system32\iehajuwxexuq.dll
O23 - Service: ICF - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe:exe.exe

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!
There is a possibility that your svchost.exe file is infected. This is a valid required Windows process, but your may have been infected with an Alternate Data Stream (ADS) infection. The below files should be run thru this online scanner http://virusscan.jotti.org/
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\svchost.exe

 

These old version of Sun Java are susceptible to allowing Virtumonde infections so doing this is rather dangereous. You should install the new version of Java on a test PC and see if it will support your training materials alright.

It is an indeterminate trojan making use of an ADS infection which was applied to your svchost.exe file (which as I stated is a necessary process for your PC but without the infection ). Make sure you scan those files at the Jotti website. Removing the ADS stream may present a problem.

 

Maybe and maybe not! It could also be they do not detect ADS infections since they are somewhat unique and rootkit like.

Locate and delete the below file that showed up now! Use safe boot mode if necessary.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\jyfd^lea.sys


Now run the below!

Now please download F-Secure's BlacklightBeta

• Download fsbl.exe and save it to the Desktop.
• Once saved... double click fsbl.exe to install the program.
• Click accept agreement and Click scan
• This application may trigger a warning from your antivirus. Let the driver load. Wait for it to finish.
• If it displays any items...don't do anything with them yet. Just hit exit (close)
• It will drop a log on Desktop that starts with fsbl....big number

Please attach the BlackLight log.

 

Well that just confirmed that my suspicion was correct.

Do a file search for svchost (without the .exe) using the below.

Click Start and select Search
Now Select "All files and folders"
Enter the svchost in the "All or part of the file name:" box
Now select "More advanced options"
Make sure the following check boxes are checked:

• Search system folders
• Search hidden files and folders
• Search subfolders

Then click the Search button.

Tell me what you find! NOTE: DO NOT REBOOT or SHUTDOWN YOUR PC.

 

What are the file dates on the ones in the below folders also right click on them and select Properties and tell me the exact size in bytes.

C:\i386
C:\Windows\system32
C:\Windows\system32\dllcache

 

Yes and that is why I was just double checking the date. After AVG said it put them in the vault, I was still concerned because of the dates I had seen earlier in your log and also because of the fake service showing C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe:exe.exe

Do you have your Windows XP bootable CD?

 

Yes we need to do this from the Recovery Console. You can either copy the svchost.exe from the c:\i386 folder or from the i386 folder on the CD. Using the one in C:\i386 may be easier since it is already uncompressed. You would have to copy it into both the C:\windows\system32\dllcache and C:\windows\system32 folders to overwrite both potentially infected versions.

Do you know how to do the above or do you require detailed instructions?

 

Okay if you need specific directions let me know. In outline form it is basically.

• boot to the recovery console
• when you get to the command prompt copy the good svchost.exe file from c:\i386 to both folders mentioned.
• if you opt to use the file on your CD and MS's directions you will need to use the expand command to uncompress the svchost.ex_ file into the folders. You will again have to do it twice.

 

Good job! I would not worry about time differences in the files. The important thing is that the ones from 8/1 were replaced.

They are clean.

Yes you have done just fine and it has been easier than with some users. You're welcome.

 

The below my find and remove it if it is still in the registry.

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.

 

Okay as I suspected, it found and removed ICF.


If you are not having any other malware problems, 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:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

I guess you did not complete my last instructions yet! This was step 10.

You're welcome. Surf safely.
