    Hello there!

    So recently I somehow got a bloody virus on my Notebook, OS: Windows XP. According to my Symantec AniVirus program I had the "Trojan.Vundo" on my PC. Which Symantec could not Quarantine, Clear or Delete..

    So I checked the Internet and googled myself to the point where I found some crazy Trojan.Vundo Removal Tool which I downloaded. At first I (after disabling the System Recovery) tried to run the tool in normal mode with the Admin. It said that it didn't find the Virus.

    I went on doing the same operation in Safe Mode and it didn't find it there either. Though when I rebooted into Admin Normal Mode Symantec said that it found the file in System32 and that it was neither Quarantined or Cleared but Deleted even though it said "Access denied".

    I thought it was enough, but then when I got into Internet Explorer some Pop-Ups still showed up from time to time..
    So I googeld and found SpyHunter Free Scan which I then downloaded and run a few times. It showed me three Cookies with ad.yieldmanager.com and some other stuff plus two Registry hits: Trojan.Downloader and a Smitfraud thingie. Both of which were in the file called runner1.

    I deleted the cookies from my user and then I deleted the runner1 in the Registry thinking this would solve everything. Now SpyHunter didn't show anything in the scans. Though still some Pop-Ups still occur and I don't know what to do - so I came running to you guys hoping you could help me figure out what's happening..

    I don't know but will this Log from HijackThis help? Should I give more information?

    Anyway, hope you can help me. Thanks and keep fighting the good fight!

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Sadly Hijackthis on its own will NOT highlight all malware potentially on your PC, so

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, 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
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • 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!

    Hello again!

    Sorry for not replying sooner. So, I think I did pretty well in the procedures..

    Started with Spybot - Search and Destroy which showed me 7 problems that were fixed:
    1. Smitfraud-C. (1 entry -> Directory [C:\Program Files\InetGet2\])
    2. Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDisable Notify (1 entry -> Registry change)
    3. Microsoft.Windows.Security.InternetExplorer (1 entry -> Registry change)
    4. Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.AntivirusDisable Notify (1 entry -> Registry change)
    5. Virtumonde (1 entry -> File [C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Admin\Local Settings\Temp\removalfile.bat])
    6. Win32.Small.azl (2 entries -> Registry Value [runner1] and Directory [C:\Program Files\WinAble\])

    I immunized everything after that.

    --

    Then CounterSPY (v2)
    Found some problems and quarantined them all and then deleted some cookies.
    1. Backdoor.IRC.Small.g Backdoor (2 objects) [1 file and 1 registry]
    2. Backdoor.Genlot.DX Backdoor [File]
    3. Trojan-Downloader.Small.IG Trojan Downloader [File]
    4. Maxfiles Adware (General) [File]
    5. CoolOnline Offers.Screensaver Adware Bundler [File]
    6. Trojan.Vxgame Trojan [File]

    --

    And then BitDefender Online Scanner
    Here I couldn't update it for some reason but I scanned anyway (pretty long time).
    It found and deleted all Viruses it found. Names like this came up:
    - Trojan.Downloader.Agent.BQ
    - BehavesLike: Win32.Malware
    - Trojan.Conhook.CX (found in Symantec Antivirus Virus Definitions Folder or something like that)
    - Trojan.Downloader.Small.Gen (C:\pdf.exe)
    - Trojan.Agent.VB.AQC

    --

    Then PandaSoftware
    It found a lot of Viruses and some Spyware was just left. Though it said that every single file was disinfected from the virus that was called W32/P2PSimple.C.worm

    --

    GetRunKey worked fine I think. I have that file and ShowNew also worked I think.

    --

    I reinstalled the HijackThis file you gave me and did a system scan and saved the log file.

    --

    The first three files are in this post and the next files will be in the next post. Activescan.txt is 7MB big so I trimmed it a bit. Cause it just repeats the name of the Virus it desinfected (they all were placed in the WINDOWS\Fonts folder) - but I did not touch the Spyware/Cookies stuff. Hope this helps you. Though one strange thing - not one of the methods showed me the Trojan.Vundo thing..

    What do I do next. I hope Symantec Antivirus won't show anymore viruses and that the pop-ups in Internet Explorer stop.

    Try to attach the HJT log again, if you can't get it to upload paste it inline and I will attach it for you.

    Let's start by running ComboFix...

    1. Download this file - combofix.exe
    2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Attach this log to your next reply
    Note:

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

    Once you complete the above, attach fresh logs from the below.

    • GetRunKey
    • ShowNew
    • HijackThis
    • ComboFix

    OK, I did ComboFix twice. First from my user and then from Admin.

    See the thread below and run GetRunKey again, something did not go right.

    I don't know what I am doing wrong but it pop ups a Notepad window saying one line when I try using GetRunKeys:
    Binary file C:\rkeysxxx.txt matches

    What does that mean?
