Backdoor.Win32.Aimbot.aj

We need all the requested logs from the READ ME!

CounterSpy
Bitdefender - from step 6
Panda Scan - from step 6
runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
HijackThis



Also you did not follow the directions in step 7 to rename HijackThis. As stated, this is very important.

 

Hmmmm! Your first message said

That is quite a bit incorrect wouldn't you say? There were about 35 items in your Panda log alone. And in CounterSpy there were 7 items which you chose to Ignore! Why didn't you fix the items that CounterSpy ran? That is the whole purpose of running the scans. Run CounterSpy again now, and have it fix everything and then attach a new log.

 

Okay! While I look thru all your other logs and work up fixes, please re-run CounterSpy now and have it fix all that it finds. Then attach a new log from CounterSpy.

Does it have something to do with Lclock?

Continue by downloading a tool we will need - Pocket KillBox

Save it to its own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate it later.

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:\WINDOWS\mcache32.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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

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.

Now run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe
Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files.
Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.
NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue.

Select:

• Delete on Reboot
• then Click on the All Files button.
• Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

• Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
• Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt.

If you receive a PendingFileRenameOperations prompt, just click OK to continue (But please let me know if you receive this message!).

If Killbox does not reboot just reboot your PC yourself.

After reboot locate the below folders and delete if found:
C:\Documents and Settings\Home\Application Data\FunWebProducts
c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\vidctrl
c:\program files\common files\Download
C:\Program Files\Need2Find

Also delete all files and subfolders in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
C:\WINDOWS\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Home\Local Settings\Temp

Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

1. GetRunKey
2. ShowNew
3. HJT

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

 

You still told CounterSpy to Ignore:
Need2FindBar
Fun Web Products
MyWebSearch Toolbar
Altnet Download Manager

I believe that I said you need to

.

Please run it and fix EVERYTHING! My previous steps will be incomplete unless you fix all these. They are malware and they MUST be fixed. I would not even waste time quarantining them. I would delete them.

 

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

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
   • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
2. If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

Attach a log that shows exactly what this tool is finding?

It could be just finding some left over registry keys like the below:

 

Well that is not a complete log. You need a better tool if that is all the info it gives and if it will not fix it. Try the below:


Now 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.

 

You may have lost ownership priviledges of the registry key.

Please download and install Registrar Lite Make sure you select a Majorgeeks download link and not the Authors!

Run Registrar Lite navigate to each of the following key and take ownership of it (I explained how to do that further down).

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset

To take ownership of the key do the following:

• Copy & Paste the registry key from above into the Address bar of Registrar Lite and hit the enter key. This will bring you to the registry key.
• Click-on Security in the top Menu
• Select Take Ownership
• Repeat these steps for all of the registry keys given above before continue to the next steps below.
• Now leave RegistrarLite running and continue
• Now run the fixME.reg REGISTRY PATCH I previously gave you again.
• Tell me the results. Any error messages?
• Now in RegistrarLite click View and then Refresh
• Now navigate one at a time to each below registry keys and make sure they are gone:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\legacy_msdirectx
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\legacy_msdirectx\0000
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\msdirectx
• If any of these keys still exist, right click on it and select Delete. Make sure you are select those exact registry keys only.
• Let me know if you have to do this and if you get any error messages at this point.

 

So does this mean that your freedom antispyware comes up clean now?

 

I'm not sure what you mean by registry cleaner. Is that exactly what it said? There are many programs that do registry cleaning. Why couldn't you get back on the internet? Did you have Freedom fix whatever it was reporting and then you could not get back on the internet? I thought this Freedom security suite just package Authentium's Command AV and Pest Patrol's Antispyware program together (and perhaps there is a firewall & parental controls too).


Are you saying you used System Restore? What point in time did you revert too? Did you clean the restore points in message # 12 or did you never do those steps? Did the restore bring back the issue with Backdoor.Win32.Aimbot.aj

 

Do you mean Registrar Lite? It is not really a registry cleaning tool!

Sounds to me like Freedom did something it should not have.

Well then you will have to clean up again. But you did not answer whether you had ever completed those final steps instructions??

 

You're welcome. Don't forget that now your only restore point is the one just created after toggling System Restore. Obviously there will be new one created at various points when you reboot, but your oldest one is now the one just made. As long as you are clean when this was made, it is all you need!
