After The Malware Removal Guide:

First and foremost, I'd like to thank you guys and Major Attitude for the Malware Removal Guide. I appreciate the thoroughness of it all, and the work put into this site.

Secondly, I just finished the Malware Removal guide, and I think I completed all the tasks as said, but I still think I may be infected.

Just to be clear, and in case this information helps:

My Computer:

Dell Dimension DV051
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
2.79GHz, 504MB of RAM
Physical Address Extension

OS: Windows XP Media Center SP2(Up to date)

Current Browser: FF(Up to date) Although, I used to use IE7 till I started experiencing some problems a few days ago and was informed to use FF instead.

I am still experiencing some of the problems that I noticed before. Mainly, it has to do with selecting text and items with my mouse pointer. IE: Highlighting text, Copy + Pasting. When I try to do some of these the functions themselves become screwy. Other problems include clicking and selecting certain normal objects such as the FireFox icon to open a window. When I try that, sometimes I either have to click twice to three times to get one open, and on IE7, it will open two windows off one click. So, in short, I believe that sometimes a single click counts as two and that specific problem can be noticed when I try to push the "Back" button on my IE browser. When I do that, it ascts as two clicks and pulls me back two pages in the history. However, now I only use FF and it seems to be not as screwy as IE, although, with similiar problems still.

The other primary problem that I have noticed is with my Microsoft Word documents, and in fact, this was the first sign of the infection. Basically, my word documents, or more specifically, a certain word document of mine, I found, was being duplicated twice over. I think it duplicated when I saved it, but am not sure, and it may have duplicated without my help.

Third problem, or what may be a problem, anyway, is a program that I never noticed before called "Mysearch Assistant"... I looked it up and I think it said it was something installed by dell, but am not totally sure...

And lastly, I was told to do a search on a process dictionary on all my processes running on my computer, some were iffy, about 3-4, but most were fine... Until I found this one called "isass.exe" which was determined to be a malicious process and backdoor trojan... It was not removed and is still there.
How can I remove this if indeed it needs to be removed?

Also, now I just recently noticed this desktop.ini thing on my desktop as well as many new files or files I never noticed before which all seeem to have been duplicated many times over.... and WOW, I JUST noticed this txt file on my computer called "H" saying "System tested"... That creeps me out...

Attached the logs.

Thanks!

These are just some of the problems I've noticed, but it seems like I keep finding new ones.

Logs will be attached in the next post, because I tried posting this thread already, and have failed, so I am trying to just post this seperate of the logs to see if it works.

Thanks!

 

Re: Finished The Malware Removal Guide

Well it says that my attached logs can't be uploaded because they are already in the other thread I tried to create but failed, I tried renameing each one and only mglogs made it through for some reason so here it is.

 

First of all, I didn't see my first thread(Which actually seems to be this one) go through, and my last two posts seem to be from the redo thread of it.

Out of the list of clean ups you just showed me, I think I did just the Mgtools and combofix ones, as they were apart of Major attitudes Malware Removal Guide which I completed... And I'm still not sure whether I have gotten rid of all the infections... Reason being that my computer still has screwy things happen haveing to do with selecting items, scrolling, copy + pasting and such, and my clicks and actions still count as two. IE: I open a browser with single click and get two windows, or I try right clicking on something and it takes many clicks to get the right-click box to stay.

Also, I uninstalled mysearch assistant and got this critical update from windows.

Thanks.

 

Ok, here's the attached Bitdefender log.

 

Ok, I forgot to mention that I ran the scan once before and it did find something, but I accidentally saved it wrong. I saved it as html. I thought I mentioned that, sorry. Is there any way I can recover the first scan to be still useful for you?

Also, so if you were referring me to the Software Forum, then are you inferring that it is a valid program or something that may be malfunctioning or incompatible?

 

Alright, I think I'm good now. I just changed the mouse and everything's normal again, but it's good I got rid of the Malware too.

Thanks very much Tim!
