Malware removal steps didn't fix everything

    My first post.
    Problem computer is on a domain. User clicked on a link in an email they thought was from Linked In. Problems included multiple windows claiming read/write delay; bad hdd-memory. All desktop icons disappeared, etc. Symantec reports "Suspicious.Ad" infection.
    I ran the malware removal steps. mbam, MG, RR & Superantispyware logs are attached. Combofix hung up at the scanning stage ("may take ten minutes . . . could be double") so I never got a log. This may be due to Symantec Real time Scanning which I couldn't disable because this is an Endpoint client machine on the network. I may have to uninstall that.
    After cleaning symptoms:
    no browser redirects but occassionally a browser window opens on its own for facebook login or something about twitter. This user doesn't do facebook or twitter.
    Most folders on C drive are marked hidden; start>programs folder is empty; memory errors when trying to create PDF files. Trying not to use the computer so there may be other symptoms I haven't encountered.
    Your help is appreciated.
    Thank You,
    Jody

    No logs attached I'm afraid.

    Also you need to take a look at this:

    I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so.

    TDSSkiller - How to run


    Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop
    • Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
    • It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
      • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
    • Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
      • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
      • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
    • Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
    • MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.

    Wow, I expected to wait 4-5 days for a reply.
    What follows is the TDSSKiller and MBRcheck logs. I put the original malware scan logs at the end - in case you still wanted to see them. and again tried to attach the MGlogs.zip

    You need to re-run TDSSKiller and have it fix this:

    Attach the log.


    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:
    • O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [wPjGphJJBAmDwX.exe] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\wPjGphJJBAmDwX.exe
    • O4 - HKLM\..\Policies\Explorer\Run: [57810] C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msvcftqf.exe

    After clicking Fix exit HJT.



    Download and run OTM.

    Download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

    Code:
    :reg
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\Run]
    "wPjGphJJBAmDwX.exe"=-
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run]
    "57810"=-
    
    :files
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\wPjGphJJBAmDwX.exe
    C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msvcftqf.exe
    
    :Commands
    [emptytemp]
    [Reboot]
    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
    • Push the large http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4174320048_f01c448b32_o.png button.
    • OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
    • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it into notepad, save it as something appropriate and attach it into your next reply.

    NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and attach the contents of that document back here in your next post.



    All of your Files and folders are in the below smtmp folders. You will have to move them all back to their proper place:

    Try this first, Please download and save the below to your Desktop or anywhere else you can find it ( if the Desktop is not showing )

    http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/unhide.exe

    Now run it. Did that help? If not:

    To restore the moved files, open %User Temp%\smtmp and copy the files.

    For %User Temp%\smtmp\1, copy the files to %Start Menu%
    For %User Temp%\smtmp\2, copy the files to %Desktop%

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

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

    Things seem to be running correctly. Some minor things I can fix are custom color profiles (this is a graphics production machine). Quick launch toolbar was still empty but that was easy.
    The start menu contains all the folders but most of them are empty. Most of that doesn't concern me except the System tools and Administrative Tools that are also empty. Admin tools is also empty from the control panel.
    I know how to get shortcuts back manually for most things if I have to (except system & admin tools) but is there something that will fix it?
    A "Fix it" button would be nice ;)

    Hopefully the below will help.

    You can restore the defaults for the Start Menu, Accessories and Administrative Tools as follows:


    Restore Admin Tools Program Files Menu


    Please download this tool here

    • You will need to unzip the tool first.
    • Once you've unzipped the tool, please double-click on it to run it.
    • Click on the Restore Administrative Tools Items button.

    Glad everything is running nicely again. :)

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. 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" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. 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.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Sorry for the delay. I completed the clean up steps and everything running as it should. Thanks again, without you all would be lost.
