Malware removal assistance required

    Hello all,
    last night I made the mistake of infecting our Samsung laptop with malware. I was trying to watch a video which wouldn't open in my default media player VLC. I opened it in WMP, the DRM requested a new codec and I confirmed like a dummy. Of course I was still not able to watch the video, and instead got me a trojan.

    AVG keeps reporting the Trojan Generic15 just about every 5 minutes. It seems hooked into svchost.exe in one of the Windows temp folders. After I first started the computer this morning, all search results on Google would be redirected to de.ask.com. I ran GooredFix and now only a couple links will be redirected, but I definitely still get redirects via businesslisting.net, something like that. I got one casino popup, but haven't gotten any other popups.

    I followed all instructions from the Read Me and the Vista Removal procedures.

    1. SuperAntispyware found absolutely nothing
    2. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware found absolutely nothing
    3. Combofix would crash my computer in the middle of the scan multiple times, until I gave up.
    4. RootRepeal started, then I got a message that Pure Networks Shared failed, and ever since RootRepeal gives me a device error that I have screenshotted.
    5. I ran MGTools which completed.

    I am at the end of my rope now. AVG will still pop up the Trojan warning every 5 minutes, but all you can do is to move it to the Vault and then the next one will be generated. I would appreciate any help. Logs are attached.

    Hi and welcome :)

    1. Before we continue please do ensure that MGTools.exe is indeed right on your C Drive and not in the below location:

    2. Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    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:
    After clicking Fix exit HJT.

    3. Now download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

    • Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
    • Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    • Do not change any check box options!!
    • Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

    • Now click the Execute button.
    • Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    • Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    • Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    • A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

    4. Also delete all files in the below bold folder except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    5. Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

    6. Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!

    Thank you for your response! I had no problems with the instructions at all, and everything worked fine. So far I haven't received any further warnings from AVG's Resident Shield, but I only just re-enabled it. Attached you'll find the MGTools logs and the avenger.txt log.

    We have more work to do. Let's see if you are able now to use Combofix: If not please use the avenger script instead.


    Now we need to use ComboFix
    • 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.
    • Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
    • If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    • Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:
    Code:

    • 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

      http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif

    • 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.

    If you cannot use Combofix then let's use avenger:
    • Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    • Do not change any check box options!!
    • Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

    • Now click the Execute button.
    • Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    • Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    • Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    • A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Combofix. or avenger

    Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!
