Wanso - Nothing can remove it

Welcome to Majorgeeks!

Let's first take care of some house keeping!

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
Ad-aware 6 Personal <-- this is more than two years out of date
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11
Mozilla Firefox (1.5.0.10)
Sunbelt CounterSpy <-- Uninstall this trial since we are finished with it now!

Make sure you reboot after uninstalling the above!

Then install the current version of FireFox from: Mozilla Firefox

Then install the current version of Ad-Aware from: Ad-Aware SE Personal

Now download HOSTER and then follow the below steps.

• Unzip Hoster to a convenient folder such as C:\Hoster
• Run Hoster.exe, click Restore Microsoft's Hosts File and then click OK.
• Click the X to exit the program

Continue by downloading a tool we will need - Pocket KillBox

Save it to its own folder somewhere that you will be able to locate it later.

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:

Now download the attach FixWS.Zip file to your Desktop and extract the FixWS.bat file from it to your Desktop too.
Double click on the FixWS.bat file to run it.


Now please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. This program does not require an installation. The executable actually runs the program.

Okay now run ComboFix again and attach this new log later when I ask for it.

Then immediately after running the ComboFix procedure, run CounterSpy and attach this new log later when I ask for it.



Make sure that you follow the below instructions exactly. You must make sure you use Delete on Reboot and not Standard File Kill.

Now run Pocket Killbox by doubleclicking on killbox.exe

• select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
• Choose Tools > Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files.
• Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.

NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue.

Select:

• Delete on Reboot
• then Click on the All Files button.
• Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):
• Note: if the Unregister .dll Before Deleting check box becomes active, make sure you check it.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WanSo.lnk
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Templates\temp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntfis.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\ncio.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\front.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\roreg.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\fkwld.sys
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WANSO\Player.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WANSO\SoBar.dll

• Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
• Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt.

If you receive a PendingFileRenameOperations prompt, just click OK to continue (But if you do get this message, make sure you tell me!)

If Killbox does not reboot just reboot your PC yourself.

Now attach the below new logs and tell me how the above steps went.

1. ComboFix
2. CounterSpy
3. GetRunKey
4. ShowNew
5. HJT

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

As an additional backup step (after completing the steps in message # 8), also please run the below and attach a log from it:

GMER

 

It is attached to the bottom of the message with the instructions.

 

You did not run GMER as requested.

The base of the infection may be due to the fkwld.sys which is not getting properly deleted. There could be other hidden files and registry keys. I need the log from GMER. Run it now! Please be sure to always follow all instructions.

Do you access Chinese websites and do you have any Chinese related software installed? This infection seems to be related to things eminating from Chinese sites. Do you have any cracked/illegal software download installed? If so, uninstall them!


What are the below installed programs (especially the PPMateIoA.... item which appears to have strange characters in the file proagram name - I have a feeling this is some kind of P2P TV program and is from China).
"DisplayName"="DynDNS Updater 3.1"
"DisplayName"="FMS"
"DisplayName"="Indeor Software"
"DisplayName"="Joost (tm) 0.8.1"
"DisplayName"="KhalSetup"
"DisplayName"="MagicTune3.6_Client_pivot"
"DisplayName"="Natural Color"
"DisplayName"="PPMateIoA‡æ‡EO 1.7.3.33"
"DisplayName"="TrackMania Nations ESWC - Update 2"

And what is the below that I see:
The Venice Project (Baaima N.V.)

• Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
• Now exit Pocket Killbox!

• Now download The Avenger ( http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/avenger.zip ) by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.
• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Check the 'Input script manually' box.
• Click on the magnifying glass icon.
• Copy the quoted bold print below and paste it in the box that opens from Avenger:

• Now click the 'Done' button.
• Click on the traffic light icon and OK the prompt.
• You will be prompted to restart, OK the prompt and your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt, please post that log here in your next reply.

Now attach the below logs

1. GMER
2. Avenger
3. ShowNew
4. HJT

 

Okay that looks much better! Is everything working okay now?

I do see one new file that showed up. I'm not sure if it is related to GMER or not. I don't recall it installing or creating any files with such strange names. Delete the below file:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\^eftakql.sys

Also uninstall the Sunbelt CounterSpy trial since we are finished with it now! Then delete the below two folders which may be left behind by the uninstall:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sunbelt Software
C:\Program Files\Sunbelt Software

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 run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
8. 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
9. 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.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
