Malware/Spyware on my machine

You have the latest form of Qoologic infection.

Now download FindQool by LonnyRJones

• Extract the files and place the FindQool folder into root folder of your hard disk. This is usually C:\
• Open the folder and run Qlocate.bat
• Post the contents of the txt.log which will open wen the scan is finished.

Did you put the below entries in your Hosts file?
O1 - Hosts: 172.19.208.38 rebsapp1.awiweb.com
O1 - Hosts: 172.19.208.37 rebsdb1.awiweb.com
O1 - Hosts: 172.19.208.12 rebsapp2.awiweb.com
O1 - Hosts: 172.19.208.6 rebsdb2.awiweb.com

Note for future reference, HijackThis logs must not be posted without having follow all of the instructions in the below sticky thread:

READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

 

Download - Pocket KillBox

Extract it to its own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate it later to run it.

Now 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.

Run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe
Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click OK.

Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion…say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note some of the files listed below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\chwtn.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vjhqcq.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msyuc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cqhqsyr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xofxmvg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dwdsregt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\owinsraf.exe
c:\windows\system32\qrdsregq.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Ankur\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Z_Start.lnk
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\oqtri.exe


If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself. However BOOT INTO SAFE MODE during this reboot and do not run anything but what I request. DO NOT open any browsers!

Please run HijackThis and click on the Open the Misc Tools Section button on the open page. Then select Open process manager on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them by selecting it and then click Kill process. Then click yes. (You may not see these! If not, just continue.)
C:\Program Files\Common Files\??crosoft\d?xplore.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\ASEMBL~1\wowexec.exe

After killing all the above processes, click Back.
Then please click Scan 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:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe, C:\WINDOWS\system32\msyuc.exe
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,xofxmvg.exe
O2 - BHO: Yvakt Class - {1FF787DD-4FC7-4C7C-AE4D-74012A0ECAAC} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\de6ypog.dll (file missing)
O16 - DPF: {9b935470-ad4a-11d5-b63e-00c04faedb18} -
O18 - Filter: text/html - {24E2468B-9FA2-4D7A-8D0A-C9A1359269D0} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\de6ypog.dll

Now exit HJT
Run Windows Explorer and double check to make sure the below files are all deleted (some we already got with killbox):
C:\WINDOWS\system32\de6ypog.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\chwtn.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vjhqcq.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msyuc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cqhqsyr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xofxmvg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dwdsregt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\owinsraf.exe
c:\windows\system32\qrdsregq.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Ankur\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Z_Start.lnk
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\oqtri.exe

Now reboot into normal mode and after reboot double check the same HJT entries I had you fix above and if any still remain, fix them again a second time.

Now attach a new HJT log and a new log from FindQool

Also tell me how things are working!

 

Run HijackThis and select the below two lines and then click Fix checked:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [vblhbo] C:\WINDOWS\system32\vjhqcq.exe reg_run
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [rxsjd] C:\WINDOWS\system32\vjhqcq.exe reg_run

Make sure they are gone by checking another log.

Do you plan on buying any of the tools you installed?
Does the Symantec software you have installed already have a firewall?
Does the firewall tell you where the ALUSchdulerSvc.exe is located? If not, see if you can find where it is located. I'm not sure what this is right now.

 

Uninstall the below:
a-squared Trial
System Mechanic 6 Trial
Microsoft Antispyware (this has been replaced by Windows Defender).
KillBox
FindQool
RKTOOL
WINPFIND
TrojanHunter
ewido trial

Keep the below:
Zone Alarm Pro Trial
Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal
Windows Defender Beta
Spybot Search & Destroy (without Teatimer)
Norton Antivirus 2005
HiJack This

I'm not sure exactly what your problem is but if you are connectiing via a secure VPN perhaps you can just disable ZoneAlarm during this time frame.

Yes you can remove these now that we have finished removing malware.


If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to go back to step 1 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points. Then reboot and enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

After that, you should work thru the below link:

How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

This one sounds like a significant improvement.

Which of my previous instructions have you followed? When and why did you install System Mechanic and what exactly did you do with it? It is not something that we asked to have run in this forum.

 

No it is not malware! I'm just worried about what you may have deleted from your registry with it.

Let's get an installed programs list from HijackThis!

• Run HijackThis, click Open the Misc Tools section
• Click Open Uninstall Manager
• Click Save List (generates uninstall_list.txt)
• Click Save, to save it to a file where you can find it.
• Attach the uninstall_list.txt file to your next message.

Then also attach a current HJT log.

 

Goto Add/Remove programs and uninstall these old Sun Java programs:

Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_10
Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_10

Also you need to get the current version of Mozilla FireFox installed.

Have HijackThis fix the below line:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ioloDelayModule] e:\Program Files\iolo\System Mechanic 6\delay.exe

Now reboot! Is there any improvement? If not, all I can suggest is uninstalling all of your Norton/Symantec software and using something different like in the How to protect thread. This would not be the first time that it was the problem.

 

You're welcome. Surf safely!
