video.exe - morpheus

cokeman · Jun 27, 2007

Help!! Please!
I downloaded a zip file (Super Natural 7) which contained a file video.exe. It passed virus check twice , zipped and unzipped. When I ran the exe , nothing happened, so I thought. Then a min later Bearshare,Morpheus,and Shareaza all came up. If I close them all , 10-15 sec later they start again. When this happens a file is create that my virus program detects and deletes (Crogram files/uy.exe) this is just a decoy
CA Antivirus list it as Rbot/GZK and will delete it, but its not the main root of the problem. Will HiJackThis! help me in this case?
Also Ctrl+Alt+Delete is disabled so I cant see the Task window

Windows XP , CA AntiTrust Suite, and last 2 days AVG v7.5
Any advice or help truely appreciated

Hi...my name is Tim and I will be helping you.

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

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
Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

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:

CounterSpy

AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy

Bitdefender - from step 6

Panda Scan - from step 6

runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat

newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat

HijackThis

NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

Thanks Tim

I think I have it fixed. I ran the scans in Read First..etc., or the ones I could get to run and Bitdefender seemed to clean it up . Here is the log for that one. It was something named Backdoor.Genlot.KK

Thanks a million for the help with what scans to do and where to find them

TimW · Jul 3, 2007

It did remove a lot ....however, it never removes it all!!

To be sure you are free of malware, I would suggest that you attach logs for:
ShowNew
GetRun
HJT

cokeman · Jul 8, 2007

Ok Tim ,
I have run the scans and here are the 3 files you asked me to upload.

Btw, I guess your right. My system still doesnt seem quite right. Another systom or maybe something all together different is that my browser keep no history or autoform infomation. Might be due to some of this , or could be something else , I dont know.

TimW · Jul 8, 2007

Please use add/remove programs to uninstall:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2"
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4"
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
MarketResearch

Reboot and install:
Java Runtime 6

Spytech SpyAgent ---- I assume you installed this.

Do you know what these are (delete them if you don't):
C:\Program Files\a.ico
C:\Program Files\a.zip
C:\Program Files\b.ico
C:\Program Files\b.zip
C:\Program Files\c.zip
C:\ss
C:\Windows\AgentSS

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:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
O4 - Startup: .protected
O4 - Global Startup: .protected
O20 - Winlogon Notify: winzzd32 - winzzd32.dll (file missing)
Click to expand...

After clicking fix, exit HJT.

Please copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.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.

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\winzzd32]
Click to expand...

I'm going to post two sets of instructions below. Each will be enclosed in separate Quote boxes. Make sure to complete the first one 100% before moving on to the second one.

STEP 1: Complete this procedure completely including attaching the requested log before doing the second procedure.

Download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press Enter
This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please attach that log in your next reply.

Noterocess.exe ( which is used my SmitFraudFIx ) is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user. The below is a link to what process.exe is.

http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other options until you are asked to do so!
ATTACH THE FIRST LOG NOW BEFORE CONTINUING OR YOU WILL OVERWRITE IT!!!! And then immediately continue on to the below steps.
Click to expand...

STEP 2: PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. Ask any questions that you may have before starting.

Please print out or copy these instructions to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. Again, if there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before moving on with the fixes.

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode : Starting your computer in Safe mode

Open the SmitfraudFix Folder of your Desktop, then double-click smitfraudfix.cmd file to start the tool.

Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.

The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If it is infected and a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace the infected wininet.dll with the clean file. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.
Click to expand...

A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually. BUT Reboot in Safe Mode.

The tool will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.

Now reboot into normal mode and attach this new rapport.txt log here.
Now attach new logs from:

* GetRunKey
* ShowNew
* HJT

How are things working now?

cokeman · Jul 9, 2007

ok first I couldnt remove the j2se runtime environment 5.0 updates.
it would say wait while initializing, then tell me to remove them in add/remove (which is where I was) and then end with a install error message.

So, I installed the Java 6 and continued on with your instructions.

Here is the first rapport.txt file you wanting me to attached

The rest to follow in next reply

cokeman · Jul 9, 2007

I removed the programs in C:\program files\ . Those are the ones that the virus kept creating.

I did install spyagent on purpose, to monitor activity on my computer when I not home.

did HJT , fixed reg, then run smitfraudfix twice , one normal and one safe mode.

Rebooted did the 3 scans again and here are the logs.

I now humble await you reply and opinion.

cokeman · Jul 10, 2007

Sorry , I just looked over your directions again and realized I forget to post the newest HJT log.

Here it is

TimW · Jul 10, 2007

Success ....Your logs look clean. You may uninstall any programs we had you download (including Counterspy).

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

1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
* Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
2. If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
4. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
7. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
* go back to step 8 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.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
