    Hello,

    My computer is infected with the FBI malware. I have attached the logs. Any help is appreciated.

    StartNow Toolbar <--- Uninstall this using Revo Uninstaller.


    http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/9659/rktigzy.gif Fix items using RogueKiller.

    Double-click RogueKiller.exe to run. (Vista/7 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
    When it opens, press the Scan button
    Now click the Registry tab and locate this 1 detection:
    • [STARTUP][Rans.Gendarm] runctf.lnk @Sopunna : C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe|C:\Users\Sopunna\wgsdgsdgdsgsd.exe,H1N1 -> FOUND

    Place a checkmark each of these items, leave the others unchecked.
    Now press the Delete button.
    When it is finished, there will be a log on your desktop called: RKreport[2].txt
    Attach RKreport[2].txt to your next message. (How to attach)
    Reboot the machine.


    http://imageshack.us/a/img841/7292/thisisujrt.gif Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
    • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
    • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

    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.

    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.

    Now rerun RogueKiller, just a scan, and attach log too.

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

    Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!

    Thank you for replying so quickly.

    I have uninstalled the StartNow toolbar, but cannot find the detection you indicated in RogueKiller. I am not sure what to do next. Should I go ahead and run Junkware Removal Tool even though I wasn't able to delete the item in RogueKiller?

    Sorry it took me so long. I have gone thru all the other steps. When I added the bold text to the registry, I received a success message. Attached are the logs.

    The affected computer is my brother's laptop. I am not sure how it is running since I wouldn't let him use it.

    Well I need to know if any problems remain. :confused. The logs look good though.

    Does this mean that the malware is gone?
    Ok I'll give it back to him. Thank you for all your help! :)

    Well yes, it certainly looks to be gone, but you or your brother should have given me feedback, something like "Yes...all seems to be running well, now, too!"
    I'll give final steps, then. :)

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. 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.)
      • Press and hold the Windows key http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/Windows_Logo_key.gif and then press the letter R on your keyboard. This opens the Run dialog box.
      • Copy and paste the below into the Run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 4 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    5. If running Vista or Win 7, 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.
    6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove, you can delete these files now.
    8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    I didn't give any feedback because we haven't used it yet. I was only asking if everything was okay. My brother has used the computer for a few days now. Everything seems to be running well so I followed the final steps above.

    I noticed that after I restarted the computer, Internet Explorer automatically opens to http://localhost/

    Is this normal? Is the computer still infected?

    If you cannot change it in the home page settings then you can ask about it in the software forum. It's nothing to do with malware anyway. :)
