This infection is known to be a backdoor trojan.

• This may allow hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files.

If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please go to a different known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

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:

* OTM Log
* C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Download and save the below to your PC (save it anywhere you can find it. The Desktop is fine). Then double click on it to run it.

AVPFind.bat

It should take a couple minutes to run. You will see a black command prompt window while it is running and it should close when it is finished. Once it finishes, attach the avplog.txt file that is will hopefully be created on your Desktop as long as the malware does not block the batch file from running. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post)

Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.

There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.

Vista and Win7 users need to right click and choose Run as Administrator


You only need to get one of them to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

1. Rkill.exe
2. Rkill.com
3. Rkill.scr
4. Rkill.pif

* Double-click on the Rkill desktop icon to run the tool.
* If using Vista or Windows 7 right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator.
* A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
* If not, delete the file, then download and use the one provided in Link 2.
* If it does not work, repeat the process and attempt to use one of the remaining links until the tool runs.
* Do not reboot until instructed.

If you are having problems running Rkill, you can download iExplore.exe or eXplorer.exe, which are renamed copies of Rkill.com, and try them instead.

* If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.
Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following.

Now download and Run exeHelper from Raktor

• Please download exeHelper to your desktop.
• Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix.
• A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
• A log file named log.txt will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com
• Attach the log.txt file to your next message.

Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).

Your logs are not showing HJT. Are you making the agreement to run it?

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:

* exeHelper log
* C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Is the device still disabled? We are going to give it one more shot, and if we still can't resolve this, I have asked Chaslang to intervene.

• Right-click OTM.exe And select " Run as administrator " to run it.
• Paste the following code under the http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/4173556815_a721a91733_o.png area. Do not include the word Code.

Now immediately open Device Manager and see if you can't delete [cmz vmkd] or [cmz vmkd] Virtual Bus.

Now go to C:\MGTools\analyse.exe and run it.

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:
* HJT log
* OTM Log
* C:\MGlogs.zip

 

It will open on your desktop. There will be a button to save a log. It's what analyse.exe is....renamed HJT.

 

Curious. Re-run exeHelper.

 

That wasn't the log. It was the script. See if you can't find the current log.

 

Something I am missing is recreating those files. Have patience and let's see what Chaslang has to add to this. He should be on later today.

 

Let's try a few other steps. Some of this will be may be a little redundant, but I want collect info to really see the full current status.

Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.

• Do not change any check box options!!
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

• Now click the Execute button.
• Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
• Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
• Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot. You can just close this log for now you will attach it later.

Now please also download MBRCheck to your desktop

• Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
• It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
  • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
• Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
  • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
  • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
• Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
• MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.
• Attach this log to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

Now also please re run TDSSkiller. I want to see a current log to make sure nothing has changed since the last run.


Also, please download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
Download Mirror #1



Download Mirror #2

• Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
• Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
  Code:

  :regfind
  vbma7f5c
  :service
  vbma7f5c
  :filefind
  vbma7f5c.sys

• Click the Look button to start the scan.
• When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. You can just close this notepad window since the log is already saved on your Desktop. Be patient! It may look like it is not doing anything, but it takes awhile for this to scan thru your whole system look for matches.
• Please attach the SystemLook.txt log found on your Desktop to next reply.

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:\avenger.txt
• the log from MBRcheck
• the log from TDSSkiller
• the log from SystemLook
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.

Looking pretty good now! How are things working?

Does Device Manager still show [cmz vmkd] or [cmz vmkd] Virtual Bus


By the way you should not be renumbering / saving MGlogs.zip. It should always be just MGlogs.zip and it is automatically updated with the current info we need. You should not be saving additional copies with different names.

 

What malware application are you referring to?

Are you still having any problems after the last Malwarebytes scan and have you rebooted after running Malwarebytes?


See if you can run ComboFix now as requested in the READ & RUN ME.

 

No do not touch system restore until requested.

Please run thisResetting Registry and File Permissions

And then do the below:


Please download and run Win32kDiag per the below instructions:

• Download this Win32kDiag and save to C:\Win32kDiag.exe. You must save it here!!!!
• Click on Start->Run, and copy-paste the following command (the bolded text) into the "Open" box, and click OK. When it's finished, there will be a log called Win32kDiag.txt on your desktop. Please attach this log

C:\win32kdiag.exe -f -r


Now download Junction,zip to your Windows folder

• Please download Junction.zip and save it to your Windows folder (i.e, C:\Windows\Junction.zip This assumes C:\ is your Windows boot drive.)
• Now unzip it and put junction.exeinto the Windows folder (i.e., C:\Windows\junction.exe)
• Do not try to run it right now. We will run something that uses it later.

Now we need to reset the permissions altered by the malware on some files.

• Download and save inhertit.exe to your Desktop: Inherit.exe
• It must be in your Desktop or the below fix will not work!

Now run the C:\MGtools\FixPerm.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

• A command prompt window opens and also a license agreement from SysInternals will appear for Junction.
• Accept the license agreement and the scan will begin.
• Wait until it finishes we can take a while to run since it scans your whole harddisk. e patient and don't do anything else while it is scanning.
• The command prompt window should close when it finishes.
• While this is running, you will get several/many popups that have a title Finish and say OK. Just click the OK button each time. This is an indication that it has found a file and has attempted to fix permissions. Depending on how many files that need to be fixed, you could get only a few or many of these popups.

Now see if you can get ComboFix to run properly.

 

The infection you had can cause many problems. Sometimes it can also break/corrupt variious applications including protection programs and malware removal tools. Let's try to clean up some possible problems.

Uninstall Avast and Spybot Search & Destroy. If you have a problem uninstalling them with Add/Remove Programs, use the below tool to see if you can uninstall them.

Revo Uninstaller

Do not reinstall them or any other protection programs until I ask you to do so and please only install what I request.



Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.

• Do not change any check box options!!
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

• Now click the Execute button.
• Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
• Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
• Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

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:\avenger.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome. Okay then I we just need to cleanup from what we have installed and run before you give it back. Run the below and then manually remove any leftovers that remain like the renamed MGlogs.zip files that the below would not know about to remove.



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.
2. 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" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. 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.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
   related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of 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.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

Please do what I request in message # 44 and attach those logs. Even if you have to do this in safe mode that is fine. After completing those steps, run Malwarebytes and select Perform a full scan. This will take longer so be patient and let it finish. Attach the new log from Malwarebytes.

NOTE: If you already ran my final cleanup steps, you will need to redownload Avenger and MGtools.


Also does Device Manager show [cmz vmkd] or [cmz vmkd] Virtual Bus coming back??

 

Did you forget to uninstall Avast as requested? I still see it in Add/Remove Programs and my last fix has now broken it since it was supposed to be uninstalled. Please use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it immediately.

This kind of error was described in the Using MGtools link. See the below link for a possible fix:

16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem Error Message When You Install a Program


You forgot to answer my question about whether those items returned to Device Manager


Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
