Are my logs clean? Can I do the final step?

accountingninja · Oct 7, 2008

You guys are lifesavers. I had the worst infection ever: Virtumonde, hacktools, "fraud" something...wow. I did the READ ME and RUN ME bit and for the most part it worked great, EXCEPT I could not get SuperAntiSpyware to work (it kept crashing) so I do not have a log for it.

So, what I want to know is, can I do the final steps? Is deleting ComboFix the same as uninstalling it?
Thanks in advance,
~Jenn

Please use windows explorer to find and delete:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\yfqrhiap.tmp

Reboot and make sure it is gone,

If so, we can start to do some clean up from the scans:

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kazaa]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\knight]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideLegacyLogonScripts"=-
"HideLogoffScripts"=-
"RunLogonScriptSync"=-
"RunStartupScriptSync"=-
"HideStartupScripts"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideLegacyLogonScripts"=-
"HideLogoffScripts"=-
"RunLogonScriptSync"=-
"RunStartupScriptSync"=-
"HideStartupScripts"=-

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.

Hi Tim,

That file is gone upon reboot. Yippee!

And the Reg Edit worked without a hitch. I got the success message! :celebrate

I love you guys! This is a work computer, so it was imperative it get fixed. Everyone thinks I'm a computer whiz here, but I can't take your credit. Months ago, this machine had a Vundo infection (endless popups, even when I wasn't online). We installed Norton, but my (cheap) boss only installed the trial version and doesn't want to pay for the real one. So, Norton quarantined the Vundo.

This time, I opened an attachment. (Yes, I know...I'm usually so careful, but this one was tricky) and all of a sudden I got booted back to the login screen. I knew what THAT meant, lol. When I logged back on, my Norton went haywire, my Outlook started sending massive spams and there were fake alerts all over my desktop and toolbar telling me I had to download something to "pervent" infection. I persisted through your READ ME with popups flying onto my screen. What a headache

Long story short, I want to uninstall that Norton and keep MalWareBytes and SpyBot Search and Destroy. I'll even pay for it myself! Do you recommend this?

Again, thanks,
~Jenn

You will need to uninstall Norton ( use the Norton Removal tool ) and then you can install one of the freeware Antivirus programs.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

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 significan amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.

If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below

* Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups

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:\combo-fix folder from combofix.

If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.

If we had you run RenV.exe, you can delete it and the Log.txt file on your Desktop.

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

If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.

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:
