Sevarel issues resulting from 123.exe

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please try following along with the below instructions.

Begin by clicking Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices.

• Scroll down to “Non-plug and Play Drivers” and click the plus icon to open those drivers.
• Then search forTDSSserv.sys
• Let me know if you find this or not.
• If you do find it, right click on it, and select Disable. Do not try to uninstall it.
• Also if TDSSserv.sys is found and you disable it, then reboot.
• After reboot continue on with the below cleaning instructions.

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

• READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

• 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.

Notes:

1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot 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
2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and 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.

 

You seem to have a bunch of unknown items that showed up on Dec 15th. They seem to possibly relate to Chinese websites and may are relate to something with OCR. Do you know what the below files and folder are:

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, 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:

O2 - BHO: WormRadar.com IESiteBlocker.NavFilter - {3CA2F312-6F6E-4B53-A66E-4E65E497C8C0} - C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\avgssie.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [hgcheck] C:\WINDOWS\system32\hgcheck.exe
O23 - Service: Lan Discover Agent (magaService) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Sygate\SSA\maga\maga.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: Network Connections Logs (Netlogs) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\perfs.exe (file missing)

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.



Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

• 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.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• 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.

Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).



Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Then we should investigate them in some more detail. Do you do anything related to Chinese websites or with the Chinese language? Is it possible these are related to something you do for work. The LanqiEngine folder showed up on Dec 15th and some of those other files are probably related to it. See the below report too and see if anything looks familiar:

QooBox is just the Quarantine folder for ComboFix. Too bad Symantec did not do its job and detect those files while they were getting put on your PC in the first place. Now it wastes your time reporting them when the are no longer a problem. The mstask.sys one was a problem and I just missed it while reading your first logs. It was also from Dec 15th.


Now let's try to collect some additional info on those files and the folder.

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.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• 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.


Then attach the below log:

• C:\ComboFix.txt

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!
