"notepad.exe" infected with Trojan.Banbra.Hb

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Your logs do not show any remaining malware issues. A few things were fixed by the scans and perhaps they have resolved your issues. The current notepad file you have appears to be the correct file size.

I do have a little for you to do.

First we need to cleanup some items from running ComboFix.

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.


Are you still having problems? If not then do the below final instructions. If you are having problems, describe them in detail.

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\combo-fix" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combo-fix" 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:\combo-fix folder from combofix.
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. 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 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.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Where is the file located? Is it the one in C:\Windows\System32 or is it in C:\Windows or is it somewhere else?

Do the following: Click Start, Run and enter sfc /scannow into the Run box and click OK. There is a space after the sfc. This may ask for your Windows CD so have it ready. Let me know if it does ask for the CD. Afterwards reboot and let me know if still having issues with notepad. It is possible that like your svchost.exe file that notepad has gotten an ADS infection (that is Alternate Data Stream). It is also possible that your svchost.exe file is still infected and that ComboFix did not fix it as implied. This could mean others also got the infection. Even though files sizes may look normal, an ADS infection could still be there. That is the nature of ADS.

It could be an issue with ZoneAlarm just not properly detecting it or it could be due to having other antivirus programs installed at some point. What else have you had installed.

Can you be more specific. Do you mean something is saying that your default browser is NetScape? If so, just set FireFox or IE back to being your default.

Again please be more specific, what connections/addresses are you seeing and which browser does it occur with.

 

Run it anyway and see if it asks for the CD.

The latter.

Looks quite normal.


The QooBox folder is the backups/quaratine folder for ComboFix.

You may have ADS infections in multiple system files. This is why I wanted to run sfc /scannow to see if it could repair them.

Please also run the below and attach the log:

Using SDFix

 

You need to get a copy of Windows XP Home Edition SP2 on CD. Even if you have to borrow one from some one to run the fix. We cannot help you any further since you have bunch of Windows files that are corrupt, or missing or infected. Since we also don't know which files they are, it makes it even more difficult. I do know that your svchost.exe file was or still is infected and needs to be replaced with an uninfected copy. The sfc command maybe be able to cure all of the ADS infections. Running any other tools to attempt to find and repair the ADS infections in system files could potentially lead to your system becoming unbootable.
