peer to peer viral SSID won't go away!

repairdetect · Jan 2, 2009

I have studied up on some other sites about Viral SSIDs which I believe that I have come into contact with and I believe it has some kind of hooks into my system. I, of course, have ONLY infrastructure mode turned on. Even when the Wifi is turned completely off, I still get an entry in my wifi SSID list that won't go away.

Here is my current Combofix, MalwareByte's, and HJT logs:

I also believe that this event may be in conjunction with another issue. I have run F-Secure Rootkit scanner and had 9 suspicious entries, and 1 that seemed to change in the three scans that I took, turning into another entry.
Thank you in advance and I have read, followed, and understood the guidelines for your support. I have a brief familiarity with the concept of forums such as these and I appreciate your time.

There are a few more steps from the READ ME that you missed or didn't see. Please go back and run these scans and attach the logs. You say you believe you have come in contact with a viral SSID, normally they will appear as "free internet" or something similiar. Have you seen anything similiar in your list of available SSID's?

As a reference I will post our initial instructions below.

Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given further down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.

TDSSserv Non-Plug & Play Driver Disable

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.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

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 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, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( 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.

To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is 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.
