Virus masquerading as Facebook

    This is a problem I've had since yesterday. I was logged into Facebook in Firefox, and a message came up, styled to fit with Facebook's appearance, asking me to enter my bank details as a "check" (obviously I didn't do that). I logged out of Facebook.

    I have gone through all the scans as requested and have attached the logs. During one of the scans, AVG detected a virus and quarantined it:
    Win32/Cimag.FS
    C:\USERS\WILLIAM\APPDATA\LOCAL\41042069.EXE

    I haven't logged back into Facebook to see whether my computer is clean - because I suspect it's not, and I'd appreciate someone looking over my logs to check.

    Thank you!

    Run RogueKiller and run a scan. After it finishes the scan, select the Registry tab and then select any of the below that exist and then click the Delete button.

    Then immediately reboot your PC.

    After reboot, run a new scan with RogueKiller and save a log as in original instructions and attach the new log.

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
    Then attach the below logs:
    • the new RogueKiller log
    • C:\MGlogs.zip

    Thanks! Here are the scans you asked for. After deleting those registry items and rebooting, AVG found and removed this:
    C:\Users\William\AppData\Roaming\Lylel\ykysq.exe

    Oh! Silly AVG! Everything looks ok now, so if you can't see anything suspicious, I think it must be sorted now... thanks a lot! :)

    You're welcome.
    Your last logs were clean.



    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. You can uninstall RogueKiller and HitManPro.
    3. Go back to step 6 oof 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.
    6. If running Vista or Win 7, 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:
