ipod got me a f*****g malware

nomig · Apr 5, 2007

the thing is this, well this s the 1st time here in this forum, and im not very well at english, so patience please.

ok, the problem is that i got some kind of worm, because i connected my ipod into a mate's computer, and when i connected it into my computer, it got into it.

i've tried in safe mode, with the S&D, the CCleaner and the hijackthis, and also i erased the directories, but it starts again and again. im trying other things, but they don't work

so, please help, and tell me about how to remove it and what i have to do with my ipod.

Tanx

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

Directions for your PC are below! As far as an iPod goes, I cannot say too much since it is not a PC. I suggest you just delete everything you put on it to make sure that you don't reinfect your PC. Is there a format type command? If so, perhaps that is a good idea.

Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, renaming, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.

Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis
Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:

CounterSpy - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users

AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy. - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users

Bitdefender - from step 6

Panda Scan - from step 6

runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat

newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat

HijackThis

NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

thanks man, i tried but after starting doing things on your list, my machine started to reboot itself, while i was doing any of the analysis. i think it was kind of late to start trying to save it, so well, i had to restart with everyhing again, and i saved my important archives in my bro's computer.

i think the problem was that i inserted the malware from the ipod, so it could attack easier. so, thanks anyway
