Virus log review please pt 1

Hi there.

Are you deliberately set up to use a proxy on this machine?

 

Software Updater version 1.8.4 <<< Uninstall this.





http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/9659/rktigzy.gif Fix items using RogueKiller.

Double-click RogueKiller.exe to run. (Vista/7/8 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
When it opens, press the Scan button
Now click the Registry tab and locate these 3 detections:

• [PROXY IE][PUM] HKCU\[...]\Internet Settings : ProxyServer (hxxp=127.0.0.1:49169;hxxps=127.0.0.1:49169 [Country: , City: ]) -> FOUND
• [PROXY IE][PUM] HKCU\[...]\Internet Settings : ProxyEnable (1) -> FOUND

Place a checkmark next to each of these items, leave the others unchecked.
Now press the Delete button.
When it is finished, there will be a log on your desktop called: RKreport[2].txt
Attach RKreport[2].txt to your next message. (How to attach)
Reboot the machine.




Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

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:

• O4 - Global Startup: SoftwareUpdater.lnk = C:\Program Files (x86)\Software Updater\SoftwareUpdater.exe
• O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\PROGRA~2\SearchProtect\SearchProtect\bin\SPVC32Loader.dll

NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.

After clicking Fix exit HJT.



Download and run OTM.

Download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Right-click OTM.exe And select " Run as administrator " to run it.
• Paste the following code under the http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/4173556815_a721a91733_o.png area. Do not include the word Code.

Code:

:Files
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Software Updater
C:\PROGRA~2\SearchProtect
C:\Program Files (x86)\Software Updater
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\SoftwareUpdater.lnk

:reg
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"=""
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{006ee092-9658-4fd6-bd8e-a21a348e59f5}]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{006ee092-9658-4fd6-bd8e-a21a348e59f5}]

:Commands
[emptytemp]
[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
• Push the large http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4174320048_f01c448b32_o.png button.
• OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it into a text file to ATTACH into your next reply.

NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and attach the contents of that document back here in your next post.






Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

• Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
• Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator
• Click on the Scan button.
• AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
• After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
• The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
• Attach the logfile to your next next reply.
• A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.

Next re run RogueKiller again, just a scan, and attach log.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista, Windows7 or Win8) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!

 

The proxy is still showing in the latest Hijackthis log, can you re run RogueKiller for me once more (scan only) and attach log please.

 

OK, let's try again. If this doesn't work, there are other methods to try, but to begin...

Re run RogueKiller and have it fix these on the proxy tab: (I think I incorrectly said registry tab earlier. Sorry.)

Now rescan with RogueKiller again after reboot and attach new log.

 

Hi there

I don't want logs from days ago. I want one from today.

Can you just do what I said above about rescanning with RK, hitting the entry on the proxy tab, removing it, and then rescanning again please. Thanks.

 

And that log was an OLD one. It was me who did not hear from you for a few days, not the other way around. (From 26th til 29th)

The proxy no longer shows in the log you attached, so whatever RK claimed about not being able to delete it... it's gone. Does it show when you rescan at all? :confused

 

Uninstall it using Revo Uninstaller. And the same for this:

• Search Protect

Sorry to hear you're having troubles with that.

Most welcome!

Once you have uninstalled those, do this:

Run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista, Windows7 or Win8) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

Let me know how things are running.

 

Explain how things are running.

 

Excellent!


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

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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.
5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
   
6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
   
   
7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
