Run this:

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.
• Now double click the TDSSkiller.exe file to run it ( if using Vista or Windows 7 do not double click on it but rather, right click and select Run As Administrartor.
• Allow the application to run and a window will open showing that it is TDSSkiller from Kaspersky
• Click Start scan
• It will run rather quickly and will notify you of whether anything is found or not.
• Follow the instructions to delete/quarantine if asks you what to do when if finds something.

Whether an infection is found or not, a log file should be created on your C: drive ( or whatever drive you boot from) in the root folder named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )



All of the below are infected as you may have noticed:

• c:\windows\regedit.exe
• c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe
• c:\windows\explorer.exe

We will need to get MGTools to run because I need adequate information in order to be able to replace those infected files with clean copies.

Rename C:\MGTools.exe to C:\5678.com. Reboot into safe mode now and again try running it. If successful please attach the C:\MGlogs.zip.

 

Now download and save this XPsp3bu.exe to your C:\ root folder. You must do this properly. Now run the XPsp3bu.exe program by double clicking on it. You may or may not notice a quick flash of a black window. This is normal. The program runs quickly and just extracts some files we need.

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.

 

Have you got your Windows XP disk handy?

 

There maybe yes, I will have to look into it. Can you not get hold of a disk anywhere else to borrow?
Let's do this for now:

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::

Fcopy::
C:\MGtools\temp\explorer.exemg | c:\windows\explorer.exe
C:\MGtools\temp\winlogon.exemg | c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe 

• 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
  
  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif
  
  
• 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.

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.

 

Tell me what the below files are for?

1. Go to Microsoft Windows Update and install all important updates.
2. Then after a reboot, run sfc /scannow
3. Now run an online scan with Kaspersky and get me the log.
4. Download current version of ComboFix and then reboot into safe mode and run ComboFix
5. Reboot into normal mode
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.

 

Yes, continue on if you cannot get Kaspersky to scan using either browser.

 

Combofix is not showing those three infected files now.

Please go to virustotal and upload the following files for analysis, and let me know the results.

Disable TeaTimer as shown in case we have to run a fix later:

How to disable Spybot's TeaTimer

Delete the following using Windows Explorer

• c:\windows\SETD2.tmp
• c:\windows\SETC6.tmp
• c:\windows\SETC5.tmp

Could you please get this: ¹ÙÅÁÈ*~1 into a zipped file and attach it for me in your next post? To do this, see the below:

Please go to start > Run and paste in the following:

log retrievable @ C:\collect.zip

Are you still experiencing redirects?

 

Yes, I am sure it relates to bluetooth.

Did you manage to get the C:\collect.zip?

Good that you are no longer having redirects.

 

Don't worry about that. What problems remain now? Is all running smoothly? Perform another reboot and let me know after using the computer a while.

 

You're most welcome. Safe surfing.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
   related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
