AntispywareXP 2009 infection

letsgojets · Nov 8, 2008

Well, it seems I have contracted the AntispywareXP 2009 bug......

I am going through the Run & Read Me First thread and have doen the following:

- checked Add/remove programs & I did not find any from the list
- Did not see any of the old Java references in the Add/remove
- Installed the new Java
- set msconfig to normal and reboot
- ran ccleaner
- downloaded all files in the XP Cleaning Procedure thread
- went to step 2 in XP Cleaning Procedure thread and tried to install SuperAntiSpyware - clicked run and nothing happened.... renamed file to SAS.exe and the installation worked...... Program on desktop would not launch nor would it launch going through Start->Programs...... tried renaming desktop shortcut to SAS and still will not launch...... Restarted computer and it still will not launch

should I proceed with the next step in the XP Cleaning Procedure thread, which is installing & running Spybot S&D or should I try something else to get SuperAntiSpyware to run?

Thanks,
John

Continue on:

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.

This FAQ has a link to a utility we have to run SUPERAntiSpyware when spyware tries to disable it (RUNSAS.EXE - bottom of the FAQ):
http://www.superantispyware.com/supportfaqdisplay.html?faq=71

It also has links to alternate installers.

Well, after running completely throught the Read & Run Me First and Windows XP Cleaning threads, it seems to have made quite a difference. I am not experiencing any problems at the moment.

Here is an account of what I did:

I skipped running SUPERAntiSpyware and Spybot S&D, because nothing was happening when I tried to run them. So, I went ahead and ran Malwarebytes.
Attached are actually two Malwarebytes logs, because I stopped it to change it to only run on the C: drive only and I had it Remove what it found in the first partial scan... I hope I didn't screw anything up by doing that.

After running Malwarbytes, I went back and tried to run SUPERAntiSpyware and Spybot S&D and was able to run them. Then I ran combofix and MGtools.

Attached are the logs. Does it look like I am clean? If I need to provide anything else, please let me know.

Thanks a lot,
John

Why are you running this system without anti-virus software?

Download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

* Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
* 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:

* 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. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

Now install an anti-virus program.

Yeah, I am an idiot for not having antivirus software running. I had AVG at one tim, but it was uninstalled and I hadn't reinstalled any..........

I did as you instructes and attached is the Avenger log and new Glogs.zip file.

After generating the logs, I have installed Avast and turned the windows firewall back on.

Is there anything else I should do? Should I follow the instructions to toggle System Restore now?

Thanks for your help.

Have you run avast and did it find any malware?

You should download a firewall program ---> windows firewall is inadequate.

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 and also attach the log from Avenger.

letsgojets · Nov 10, 2008

I have run Avenger and MGtools and attached are the logs. I will have a look throught the website for a firewall to replace the windows firewall.

I really appreciate your patience with me and the help you and everyone at MG provides.

Your logs are clean.

If you are not having any other malware issues:

We recommed 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.

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" /u

Notes: The space between the combofix" 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:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)

Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

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.

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.

You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip

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.

After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
