reveton virus

    This computer has multiple users. The user "techusera" was experiencing the reveton virus. I was unable to login as this user even in safe mode (it would just shut down), so I ran everything as the local administrator.

    It is better know - I can at least login without getting the "FBI" screen. However, since I didn't fix the items found by HitmanPro, I thought I should still post logs.

    I'm very sorry, but I made a mistake when I ran RogueKiller and allowed it to fix the registry items that it found. So sorry!! Hope that's not too bad.

    Thanks!

    Did you install the Strongvault Online Backup stuff?

    ALso note that you forgot to disable UAC as requested and required.

    I'm going to assume that you did not knowingly want to install that Stongvault stuff anyway because I don't think you should have this on your PC. So in the below we will be removing it along with other items.


    Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

    Hello -

    I actually did disable UAC before I started. Pulled it down to Never Notify and rebooted. Not sure how it got re-enabled at full strength, no less!

    Strongvault popped-up for the first time that I know of while I was doing one of the scans - HitmanPro, I think. And no, I definitely don't want it.

    BTW - Strongvault.exe still exists in:
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    I can't delete it - it says it is running.

    techusera is usable now. I get two runDLL errors for files not found: mpeat.dll and nfeco.dll
    The desktop does some pretty freaky stuff when I log out.

    Would it be safest to delete that profile after the user recovers their data?

    Thanks!
    Elizabeth

    Let's see if we can cleanup the rest of the issues.


    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) 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:

    O4 - Global Startup: StrongVaultApp.exe
    O6 - HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Uninstall the below software:
    Coupon Companion Plugin
    Java(TM) 6 Update 35
    Strongvault Online Backup

    If any do not uninstall of you cannot find them, just continue on.




    Now Run OTM.exe again by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7, or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

    When I login as techusera, I get two runDLL errors for files not found: ...\mpeat.dll and ...\nfeco.dll

    Otherwise, all seems good now.
    Thanks!

    Then you should be giving me logs from when logged into that account. The logs you are giving me are from USERPROFILE=C:\Users\techmaster which will not show me what is going with the techusera account.

    I did not rerun OTM, so refer to the logfile in the previous post for those results.
    The RogueKiller and MGTools logs are now from the techusera userid where the problem originated.

    NOTE: The userid techusera was initially unusable, even in safe mode, so that's why I was using techmaster.

    Okay continue to use the techusera account now to finish your cleaning.​

    According to your last logs, references to that DLL were cleaned up.

    Re-run a scan with RogueKiller and see if any items like below show under the Registry tab

    If they do show with the pscasv.dll file, then select them and click the Delete button.
    Then reboot and see if you still have a problem.
