Infected desktop:Gen-SKYNET, TR/Crypt & TR/Tdss, Backdoor

hashi · Aug 28, 2009

The family desktop is cripled with several trojans,Skynet, & Backdoor.

I'm using my laptop to post this.

The symptoms started this morning with message errors on IE8. Went back to IE 7 the browser did the same thing The Firewall's (Webroot & Vista) would shut down on their own and can't be restarted system Restore would not work. IE8 will no longer work at all....Just opens and then closes if you try to search or download.

I'm using an external hard drive to download various programs and then connecting the hard drive to the infected computer to use the applications. ComboFix, & Spybot will not run on the infected system.

Malwarebytes found nothing but here is what the other programs found & quarantined:

CounterSpy quaratine:

backdoor.win32.poisonivy(fs)
type 4
wmplayer.exe

SUPERAntispyware Quaratine:

Rootkit.Agent/gen-skynet

Avira Quaratine:

TR/Crypt.ZPak.gen trojan - located @ c://Windows/system32/drivers/SKYNETbmpfbyax.sys
TR/TDss.anus.Trojan located @ c://Windows/system32/drivers/SKYNETcsvprcsq.dll

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

**** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****

Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!

Helpful Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.

To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:

Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
