Another SWG complaint... Virtumundo?

In the future, please do not post HJT logs unless they are requested.

You do not have a Virtumundo problem. You have an about:blank hijacker noted by the se.dll lines.

Please run ALL steps in the Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

You did not complete all those steps.

Also, do you have Outpost for a firewall?

Your OS is way out of date and represents a major security risk. After we fix your current problems, you must get updated.


Also download this file: SpSeHjfix109

Unzip it to your desktop or to a folder.

Boot into Safe Mode

Start SpSeHjfix, click on " Desinfecton starten" (the other button means close) then it will reboot and finish the cleaning.

Run SpSeHjfix one more time.

Reboot in Normal mode.

Run HijackThis again and post a new log. Also post the log from SpSeHjfix, the log should be on your desktop or the same folder as SpSeHjfix.

 

Please first disable Spybot's Teatimer because it may get in our way of fixing problems.

To disable TeaTimer, run Spybot and click Mode and select Advanced Mode. Then click Tools and select Resident. Now in the right window pane, uncheck TeaTimer.
Also while this is open, in the left column now select IE Tweaks and then in the right pane make sure all the Miscellaneous locks are unchecked.
Now quit Spybot!


Download: "StartDreck", from here:
http://www.niksoft.at/_data/startdreck.zip

Unzip to its own folder and start the program,
Press 'Config'
Press 'Unmark All'
Check the following boxes only:
Registry -> Run Keys
System/drivers> Running processes
Press 'Ok'
Press 'Save' and select the location to save the log file
(default is the same folder as the application)

Please attach the log in this thread.

 

After doing what is in my previous message continue with the below (we are not done yet).

If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
C:\WINDOWS2\System32\outpostupdate.exe

After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
Then please click "Scan" 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: [outpostupdate] C:\WINDOWS2\System32\outpostupdate.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [outpostupdate] C:\WINDOWS2\System32\outpostupdate.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [outpostupdate] C:\WINDOWS2\System32\outpostupdate.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
C:\WINDOWS2\System32\outpostupdate.exe

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

 

You appear to be running multiple antivirus applications (F-Protect and Symantec). You should use only one. Uninstall one.


If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.
Tell me if you have problems finding or deleting the above file.

Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST). Now if running Win XP goto c:\windows\Prefetch and delete all files in this folder.

Now we need to Reset Web Settings:
1) If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
2) Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
3) If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

 

If you like Norton and keep it updated and it does not slow your system down too much then keep it.

You forgot to post the follow up HJT log.

 

You still have an item from F-Prot

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [FRISK FP-Scheduler] C:\Program Files\FSI\F-Prot\F-Sched.exe STARTUP

You should have HJT fix this line and delete the F-Prot folder if still present.

 

You're welcome. You should now check out the below to help you stay clean:
