gwdrive32.exe virus

Hi there and welcome. I am currently reviewing your logs and will get back to you with a set of instructions in the next post I make to you.

 

Before we continue I would like for you to use MSConfig to put this machine back into normal start up mode

Important Notice: A new version of SUPERAntiSpyware is available.

• Please uninstall your current version (this is necessary).
• Then download this SUPERAntiSpyware
• Install this new version. It may tell you that you need to reboot to complete the installation. You must reboot at this time.
• After the reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and immediately click the Check for Updates button to get more updates for the database.
• Now run a new full scan of your system. And attach this log later.

Please go to virustotal and upload the following file for analysis, and let me know the results.

• c:\windows\system32\WinFLdrv.sys

Now we need to use ComboFix

• 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.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:

Code:

KILLALL::

Fcopy::
c:\windows\FlyakiteOSX\Backup\ntkrnlpa.exe | c:\windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
c:\windows\FlyakiteOSX\Backup\ntoskrnl.exe | c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
File::
C:\Documents and Settings\vaRunz\Application Data\systemfl.$dk
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sys_drv.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sys_drv_2.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\vaRunz\Application Data\ltzqai.exe
C:\WINDOWS\gwdrive32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\88.exe
C:\WINDOWS\temp\HTT172B.tmp
C:\Documents and Settings\vaRunz\Local Settings\temp\16458.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\vaRunz\Local Settings\temp\829.exe
Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon]
"Userinit"="c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe," 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\Run]
"Microsoft Driver Setup"=-

• 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.

Now go to this MGTools and download the new version of MGtools.exe. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

Run the new C:\MGTools.exe and attach the C:\MGlogs.zip into your next reply. Also include the VirusTotal results and the new SAS log.

You must give me a description on how things are running for you now.

 

Try Jotti

Not malware, part of Combofix.

Now we need to use ComboFix

• 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.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:

Code:

KILLALL::

DirLook::
c:\windows\FlyakiteOSX
File::
c:\windows\Trogia.exe

• 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
  
  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif
  
  
• 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.

SystemLook

Please download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2

• Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
• Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
  
  Code:

  :filefind
  ntkrnlpa.exe
  ntoskrnl.exe

• Click the Look button to start the scan.
• When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.

Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt

You are still almost 6 months out of date with the MGTools! You must follow my last instructions regarding downloading a new copy properly.

So please do that and then get me the new C:\MGlogs.zip. Don't forget the Jotti results and the log from SystemLook.

 

Hmm, it works great for me. Please reboot into safe mode to try and use the tool as per my previous instructions.

 

You on SP2 or SP3>?

 

No just wait. I am further discussing this with my colleagues.

 

Ok, I have spoken to Chaslang, who says he does not think c:\windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe and c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe need replacing at all. This Mac emulation software makes major changes to the Windows OS and replaces system files and changes the registry to allow it to emulate a MAC. The PC now is non-standard and those scanners will have issues with many files and registry keys thus making it difficult to impossible to know what is a real problem and what is not. When I tried to replace those files earlier, I could actually have broken the Mac Emulation software. Does it work correctly? So at this point, we want to know; what actual malware problems are you having now?

 

You're correct about the spelling on that file?

 

Okay then, one final look through a fresh set of logs.
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.

 

Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

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

1. We recommend 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.
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.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter 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 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. 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.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click 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.
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 7 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:
