WinAntivirus 2009 on XP

cjon · Nov 21, 2008

I have read most of the existing threads on WinAV2009 and done the preliminary cleanup steps down through running Combofix. I had to rename the executables for SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot, but since you had tipped me off ahead of time, it worked. I am attaching my logs (I ran mbam twice because I couldn't get it to update before the first pass) and will await instructions on how to proceed. I'm comfortable with Registry edits, if necessary.
Note that I created a new account from which to do the work (AAserviceguy).

Thanks,
CJon

My bad. I read in the wrong place and posted the preliminary logs instead of the MGTools log. it is attached.

The scans took care of most of it...let's do this:

Run this: Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Use add/remove programs to uninstall Viewpoint Media Player

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:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0BF43445-2F28-4351-9252-17FE6E806AA0} - (no file)
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)
Click to expand...

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!
o If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
* Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
Code:
KILLALL:

File::
c:\documents and settings\Ronald Tolen\Application Data\qiripu.pif
c:\windows\qenoxa.pif
c:\windows\tiheni.ban
c:\documents and settings\Ronald Tolen\Application Data\qugoki.com
c:\windows\asonukoc.exe
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\sehixyz.sys
c:\windows\rehita.sys
c:\windows\upukex.db
c:\program files\Common Files\qohapozyqy.pif
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\xolywucuxo.bat
c:\program files\Common Files\pigop.scr
c:\documents and settings\Ronald Tolen\Application Data\yjeroru.bin
c:\windows\emumi._dl
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\yfasal.dat
c:\documents and settings\Ronald Tolen\Application Data\nupesixahy.exe
c:\program files\Common Files\xotemyxune.bin
c:\windows\aquwifyp.scr
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\ynapewa.bin
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\ubeb.bat
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\obiqahow.db
c:\windows\kypaqav.pif
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\aqokaf.bin
c:\program files\Common Files\afyfatoxot.exe
c:\windows\tybug.sys
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\osoly.scr
c:\program files\Common Files\ditojohapi.dl
c:\program files\Common Files\hoky.lib
* 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 download and install:
Java Runtime 6

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Combo.

Tim,
Thanks for the response. I had gone part way down the road already. The 'no file' items had been removed via HJT, I had updated Java to the latest version. and I reinstalled AVG and ran another complete scan. I also ran Panda's online scan. It does not like Combofix. As a result, I had to reinstall it to complete your instructions.

When the machine rebooted at the end of removing the file list, it hung and I had to do a hard reset. It didn't seem to matter, combofix went ahead and wrote the log as expected. It looks to me like it fixed everything it was supposed to.

I will once again reinstall AVG. I couldn't figure out a way to completely disable it, so I simply uninstalled it. If there is a way, you might consider a sticky to tell folks how. (or maybe it's there and I missed it...)

Anyway, thanks for all your help and here are my logs. I'll check back later for any followup I need to do.

The only thing showing is from your Combo log:
c:\windows\cornbroom.ico
c:\windows\SYSTEM32\fbbcbabdada_z.ocx

They do not show in the NewFiles log......but do a search for them and if found, remove them.

Otherwise, your logs are clean.

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

We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.

If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)

Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required

"%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u

Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.

This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)

Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

If running Vista, 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.

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.

You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip

If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:

Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.

Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Tim,
Many thanks. The cornbroom icon is simiply that, an icon of a broom that I use to mark a "Weekly Cleanup" folder I put on all the machines I work on. It contains links to CCleaner, Malware Bytes Anti-malware, Adaware, Spybot and the owner's antivirus of choice. I'll kill the .ocx file and finish the cleanup. Thanks for all your help.
