SDBOT virus thru gff6.exe

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

• **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
• Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

• After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!

Helpful Notes:

1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
   
   • Starting your computer in Safe mode
2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
   • Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

MGTools.exe <--- delete this from your desktop now.

Now we need to use ComboFix

• 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. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:

Code:

KILLALL::

File::
c:\windows\system32\rezumatenoi.dat
c:\windows\system32\gff6.exe

Folder::
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\tmp00003318\tmp00000000
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\tmp0000738d

DirLook::
C:\tmpnet
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1025
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1028
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1031
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1033
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1037
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1041
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1042
C:\WINDOWS\system32\1054
C:\WINDOWS\system32\2052
C:\WINDOWS\system32\3076

• 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 the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

Tell me how things are running now, please.

 

I assume your BitDefender Internet Security Suite has a firewall? Is it enabled?



Now we need to use ComboFix

• 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 has expired or need to be updated 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 download install and run this: Autorun Eater

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 or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).



Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Okay then I'm wondering whether

1. Is it working properly? To block this or have the files related to this infection been approved thru the firewall
2. Or are you still really infected or just seeing reports of leftovers that are quarantined ( like in C:\QooBox from combofix) or that are in System Restore.

The last fix I gave you removed the source of the infection which was the NrConnmags service which was allowing remoter connection to the PC using the non-valid c:\Windows\system\csrss.exe file. ( Only the csrss.exe file in the system32 folder is valid. ) Also the registry entries for two system service had to be repaired which was also part of my fix. Based on your logs, all of these have been fixed..... that is unless you became reinfected after the new logs were obtained. Run another scan with ComboFix and also run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file again.




Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Also run this GMER - running with a random name and attach the GMER log.


Is the below startup process legit? I don't see this in Add/Remove Programs.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Alwact.exe] "C:\Program Files\Alwact\Bin\Alwact.exe"


Another question: Why is it that your logs show there was no connection to the internet when GetLogs.bat was run last time? Did you have the cable to the internet unplugged? If so, please have it connected from now on.

 

This is a valid Microsoft file. FTP = File Transfer Program

Yes please do so this time while running the scans. You can disconnect it again immediately after if you wish.


If this problem continues, we may need to uninstall BitDefender and disable System Restore before we continue any further.

I don't see how that would be related. This is likely not a malware issue but rather a problem with Windows especially since you have not updated Windows and are missing many patches. I suggest you at least start by running the patch for Windows XP 32 bit versions given in the below link:

You're welcome. Make sure you check out the below:
