    What happens is I keep getting asked do I want to block or allow VRT29, THEN VRT5E,VRT1D,VRT1C etc. it posts a log in windows temp everytime.

    Ive ran Super antiSpyware, plus Malwarebyte, I am using Virgin PC Guard.

    It detected one viral and deleted it. then said clean, but I still get this VRT wanting to connect to the internet. Sounds like a trojan.

    After scan is complete the software ( all that i've tried ) has asked to restart to delete the offending infections etc. however it returns. akso I now have a log in screen when I start. No password. but nevertheless I have not added multiple user info.
    I have also tried scanning in safe mode with no network, however one software failed to fix it another crashed.

    Any Idea's? I have also ran CCleaner too.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link 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.

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    Note: If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running 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:

    You should have a login and password if you wish your PC to be more secure. Not requiring a login and password is like leaving your keys in your running car with the door open in the Bronx, NY. ;)

    I'm the only user of the PC in my house , sir.

    Anyways i've also ran SDFix in safe mode and MGtools.

    I have another issue now it says userinit logon application errors.

    I have to turn off PC at from the PSU to restore it, I still have these VRT29, VRT5e, VRT1D, VRT1C etc. I keep blocking them, and deleting the logs from windows temp.

    Has anybody any idea how to get rid of this ?:cry

    Ok, Ive ran all ask requested nothing found on either super, spybot, malware.
    I have included the logs for Combo and MG tools.


    The problem I get VRT ( followed by some numbers and letters, i.e. VRT22, or VRT1D etc.) trying to communicate with the internet and being stopped by my Firewall Virgin media (PC Guard). it then posts in Windows/Temp a file say

    VRT22.tmp , obviously I have blocked it everytime.


    Any further suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    p.s. This happened about 24 hrs ago, while downloading from Bitcommet. I can't remember is the firewall was up.

    Yes but the whole internet and every program you run has full access to your PC that has no password. This means any hacker and any piece of software can have full adminstrator rights to do anything on your PC.

    Please download and use the version of MGtools given in the READ & RUN ME and attach a new log. You do not have the correct version of the program.

    Please attach the logs from SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes anyway. It is the only way I know that you used the correct versions of the programs.

    It is possible that the files you are mentioning are from your own Virgin software but since your logs did show infections being remove, the infections could be the problem. ComboFix removed a bunch of malware. I'm surprised that SAS and MBAM found nothing.

    Uninstall the below old version of software:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 15

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntos.exe,
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8C6DF778-B72B-4F12-BBDC-D145C4F925E0} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdosy.dll
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {D2AEDDEA-089A-49DD-9233-EECC641112A2} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdosy.dll
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BDAD1DAD-C946-4A17-ADC1-64B5B4FF55D0} - (no file)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [services] C:\WINDOWS\services.exe
    O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-18\..\Run: [neos] C:\WINDOWS\neos.exe (User 'SYSTEM')
    O4 - HKUS\.DEFAULT\..\Run: [neos] C:\WINDOWS\neos.exe (User 'Default user')
    O9 - Extra button: BitComet - {D18A0B52-D63C-4ed0-AFC6-C1E3DC1AF43A} - res://C:\Program Files\BitComet\tools\BitCometBHO_1.2.2.28.dll/206 (file missing)
    O16 - DPF: {D1E7CBDA-E60E-4970-A01C-37301EF7BF98} -
    O23 - Service: FCI - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe:exe.exe
    O23 - Service: LPTRDC server (LPTRDCsrv) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\ctfmon.exe

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.
    • 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.
    • Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:
    • 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.


    Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    C:\Documents and Settings\Michael Coates\Local Settings\temp

    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 run Ccleaner!

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

    Then attach the below logs:
    • C:\ComboFix.txt
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Hi,
    Things have taken a turn for the worst i'm afraid, I'm using my Laptop to communicate this,


    Term of events....

    Followed all instructions, about to post logs.

    realised I had no Virgin ( combofix turns it off) firewall installed so restarted pc

    blue screen of death, Page_Fault_in_NoNpaged_area

    tried to reboot into safe mode, it freezes tried 6 times, tried last known config justs sits with a mouse pointer and a black background, so I've done the unthinkable and succuumbed to the F word. sorry I think this is a nasty bit os software and i've lost the logs now, however looking back i think it got in through some stupid actions on my part,
    I think i did the unthinkable and used Bitcommet without my firewall in place, so hey ho , I deserve it. it was definetly always trying to get out to the internet and was blocked as a vrt then a set of hex looking letters,
    at the same time i think it was slowly killing the pc's window files.

    let me know if there is any other info about this i possibly can help with thanks

    Sorry to hear you had to format. You actually had quite a few problems there that were quite nasty. It was not just one infection.

    Since you have a freshly formatted system, you should follow the instructions in the below:
