Key Logger

geniegirl · Nov 19, 2008

I seem to have picked up a key logger similar to Anti-Virus2009. I have run all the tools in your "Do This First" file. Everything seemed to come up clean. I am attaching the MGTools.zip file and I also zipped the results of the combofix scan.

I would appreciate any help.

Is this something you installed:
C:\Documents and Settings\Joy Fisher\Application Data\KeyingTool

Use windows explorer to find and delete:
c:\program files\rxuleo
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\opynghaf

Tell me why you suspect a keylogger? Did some program alert you...if so which one and what exactly did it show?

On previous scanning operations, I found and removed

Adware.Vundo Variant
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\APPLICATION DATA\OPYNGHAF\QDGFADSD.EXE.BAK

Trace.Known Threat Sources
C:\Documents and Settings\Joy Fisher\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\SN6DELMZ\516158[1].pdf

[above items found with Anti-Malware]

The two directories you mentioned were empty folders.

I have no idea what the Keying Tool is/was. There were 2 .bin files in the directory. I deleted the directory.

The reason I suspected a Key Logger is that just before I ran those scans my web account was accessed and the .htaccess file was changed to redirect anyone who came in via one of the big search engines to a virus infected site in Moldova. [probably AntiVirus2009]

Any time you suspect a keylogging type program, always use a different computer to change your passwords.

I did not notice any firewall application...do you have one?

The scans with SAS and MBAM did their jobs.

If you are not having any other malware issues, then:

We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection, but are effective as backup scanners. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.

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" /u

Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.

This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)

Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

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.

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.

You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip

If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:

Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.

Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
