nonep virus? how to remove it

spicerss · Nov 22, 2010

I am running widows XP sp 3
On starting my computer normally My Avira antivirus blocks 2 potential threats when I tell it to remove them it then finds 100's more which appear to be crucial normal programs. The Floppy drive is being continuously accessed whilst the computer is running every couple of minutes (I suspect by the anti virus program)

On starting in safe mode I think the problem is being generated by a file that appears in Documents and settings/administrator/start menu/ start up/ wfapvyuy.exe this file is locked and when removed by hijack this at start up it reinserts its self straight away.It preports to belong to macromedia flash player 7 r 14.
A folder win appears in program files with a x33.exe file which also appears to be connected to the nonep virus which changes its number on deletion and reboot x 35.exe x35.exe etc

I have ran Trojen remover which now appears blocked. I have ran super anti spyware and Malware bytes none have sorted out the problem and I suspect they are being interfered with as well as my antivirus avira which finds 1000's of virus hits in full scan. (I hope these are false hits)

I find and delete in the registry
HKLM\...\run(nonep) c:\programfiles\win\x35.exe

HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run\{35de9e98-ff0b-65ff-be07-b424b7dd8c5bb} C:\Documents and settings\ Administrator\ application data\ Gomoe\omxyd.exe (this file changes its name on rerun and reappears)

I delete the associated files but on restart they all quickly reappear I also find reappearing a set up file for macromedia flash player 7 r14 updates which appears in several places and reinserts its self after the computer has been running after deleting it.
The only file I have deleted and which has not reappeared appeared as a warning in Hijack this HKCU\..\runone [flash player update] c:\windows\system32\macromedia\flash\flashutil10i_Activex.exe which may or may not have been associated with the problem.
Can anyone suggust how I can track down what is causing the virus to reinsert inself on start up and how I remove it

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

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. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!

Helpful Notes:

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

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.

To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:

Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
