    I seem to be having some issues. It seems to be a redirect type of malware as when I open firefox a new tab will open with some random web page on it. I have been having the popup in m system tray that says it is finding threats that appears to be from Microsoft though I know its not.

    I ran through the read me first section and had no problems running any of the software except rootrepeal seemed to freeze every time i selected my drive under the files tab to scan. It would say starting and nothing happen after 30 mins.

    I have attached the logs and would appreciate any sort of help.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    I have another symptom or purely coincidental. When I go to shut off my computer it goes to the Windows logging off screen and will not advance to power off. I dont know if I did something during the read me first or if Its another part of the maleware.


    Also, during the cleanup I thought it might have gotten rid of the Microsoft looking virus protection thing but it is now back. In the system tray it is called XP Internet Security.

    Thanks in advanced for the help.

    1. What trouble did you have with the running of SUPERantispyware?

    2. IMPORTANT: Did you complete section 6 of the Read me first, the disabling of any disk emulation software? Let me know!

    3. Now we need to use ComboFix
    • Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
      • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    • Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
    • If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    • Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:
    Code:
    KILLALL::
    
    DirLook::
    c:\documents and settings\Joe's\Application Data\QuickScan
    
    File::
    C:\Documents and Settings\Joe's\Local Settings\Application Data\4T227ly4
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\4T227ly4
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ituo8xRe
    C:\Documents and Settings\Joe's\Templates\4T227ly4
    
    Registry::
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670}]
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670}\NoExplorer]
    
    • Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    • At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    • You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    • Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

    • Follow the prompts.
    • When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    • I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

    4. Now run this please:

    GMER - running with a random name



    5.
    • Go to TDSSKiller and Download TDSSKiller.zip to your Desktop
    • Extract its contents to your Desktop so that you have TDSSKiller.exe directly on your Desktop and not in any subfolder of the Desktop.
    • Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bold command into Run box and hit Enter ( the quotes are required).
    "%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -l C:\TDSSKiller.txt -v

    • Follow the instructions to type in "delete" when it asks you what to do when if finds something.
    • When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive called "TDSSKiller.txt" please attach this log to your next reply.

    6. Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from gmer.
