Problem with VundoFix.exe

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

First a note: Ad-Aware cannot fix Virtumonde!

You may have other malware causing problems for VundoFix. Let's find out.

Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.

• Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
• Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
• Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

• After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis
​

• When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)
  • Bitdefender
  • Panda Scan
  • HijackThis

.

 

Okay let's use my older manual approach to fixing Virtumonde. Start by downloading two tools we will need:

- Process Explorer

- Pocket KillBox

Extract them to their own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate them later.
IMPORTANT: You should print or save the below locally, so you can refer to them while offline. You must exit all browsers before running the below steps and it would be best if you actually physically unplug your cable to the internet, reboot, and do not run anything but what I give you to do. Also it would be good to exit all processes and items in your System tray.

Do the above before continuing! Okay unplug your cable now.

Make sure you have rebooted in Normal Mode (do not open any other processes)

- Run Process Explorer

In the top section of the Process Explorer screen double click on winlogon.exe to bring up the winlogon.exe properties screen. Click on the Threads tab at the top.

Once you see this screen click on each instance of pmnli.dll once and then click the kill button. After you have killed all of the pmnli.dll under winlogon click ok. (If you do not find the dll, just continue on.)

Next double click on explorer.exe and again click once on each instance of pmnli.dll and kill it.

Now just exit Process Explorer.

Run HijackThis 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:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://www.pagesubmit.com/search/side.shtml
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
O2 - BHO: InfoDocReader Object - {A5B00A5B-073E-4246-AFF0-CCAE0D5BF6D1} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmnli.dll
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\msjava.dll (file missing)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\msjava.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: pmnli - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmnli.dll


Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixVundo.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.

Now run Pocket Killbox:
Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click OK.

Run Killbox.exe. 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 many of the file list below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.

C:\Documents and Settings\Jack H\Local Settings\Temp\nsh5.tmp
C:\Documents and Settings\Jack H\Local Settings\Temp\nsh4.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\backup\TB040923.DAT
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ilnmp.ini
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ilnmp.ini2
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ilnmp.bak
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ilnmp.bak1
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ilnmp.bak2
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ilnmp.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\System32\pmnli.dll

If you find any other files in this folder that begins with ilnmp and ends with any other extension ( the .ini is an an extension) delete them to.

If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

Now attach a new HJT log and tell me how the steps went.

 

No it is not a coincedence. There are close to 300 rogue tools out there and more being added to a list all the time. This rogue list is mentioned at the end of step 5 on the below link.

Your log is clean. 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:
