Explorer.exe connecting out on 6666

Hi


Not come across that before especially linking to imagshack as its just an image host, so to double check their is not malware on your system I would suggest running the below guide and when finished, attaching the requested logs and one of out malware experts will review these logs and see if indeed its malware related.

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

You did not attach the three requested logs. Until you attach them, there is nothing more that we can do for you.

 

I strongly advise that you do not save files in your root user account folder like below. Move them someplace more secure if you need this.
2007-09-18 15:34 722,176 ----a-w C:\Documents and Settings\jeffcoda\gotomypc_428.exe
2007-07-24 14:24 630,784 ----a-w C:\Documents and Settings\jeffcoda\GoToAssist_chat2way__317_en.exe
2007-02-20 21:18 3,167,744 ----a-w C:\Documents and Settings\jeffcoda\gosetup.exe

Do you have any idea what the below files are for?

Code:

2008-03-10 16:59    270    --sh--r    C:\Documents and Settings\jeffcoda\p3pp0s_conf.dat
2008-03-10 16:35    ---------    d-----w    C:\Documents and Settings\jeffcoda\Application Data\.purple
2007-10-01 19:07    39    --sh--r    C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\p3pp0s_conf.dat

And did you make the below copy yourself for some reason?

Code:

2008-03-07 09:49 . 2007-06-13 06:23  1,033,216  --a------  C:\WINDOWS\Copy of explorer.exe

Is the below part of your startup process required by your company?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\group policy\state\Machine\Scripts\Startup\0\0]
"Script"=browser.bat


Uninstall the below old versions of software:
J2SE Development Kit 5.0 Update 12
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 12
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.1_07


Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) 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:

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: wsg_32.dll

NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.


After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now we need to use ComboFix issues.

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):

Code:

KILLALL::

File::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\fz_32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsg_32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tmp.reg

Registry::
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\U]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"=""

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it.

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.

I don't know if these were really problems or not. As long as everything you run works okay without them, then you probably don't need them anyway.

You forgot to uninstall J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 12. Uninstall it now.

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 then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN
   • Now type combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
   • Note: The space between the X and the /U, it must be there.
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 SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.
5. 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.
6. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
7. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
8. If we had you run RenV.exe, you can delete it and the Log.txt file on your Desktop.
9. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
10. 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.
11. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
12. If you are running 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.
13. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
