Windows Virus on 32 bit won't open exe files

Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.

There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.

Vista and Win7 users need to right click and choose Run as Administrator

You only need to get one of them to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

1. Rkill.exe
2. Rkill.com
3. Rkill.scr
4. Rkill.pif

Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following.

Now download and Run exeHelper from Raktor

• Please download exeHelper to your desktop.
• Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix.
• A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
• A log file named log.txt will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com
• Attach the log.txt file to your next message.

Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).

Now run this: Using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Now run this: Using MGtools


Now you need to attach (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post ) the below logs created while running the above scans

• exeHelper log
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log
• MGlogs.zip - normally it is C:\MGlogs.zip - only attach this log from MGtools.exe DO NOT attach any logs seen in the MGtools folder.

 

Please download RogueKiller.exe and save it to your desktop.

• Now quit all running programs.
• Double click RogueKiller.exe to run it.
• When prompted, type 1 and hit Enter.
• A RKreport.txt should appear on your desktop.
• Note: If the program is blocked, do not hesitate to try several times. If it really does not work (it could happen), rename it to winlogon.exe .
• Please post the contents of the RKreport.txt in your next Reply.

 

Most welcome.

Ahh, good.

The avg antivirus you are using is out of date and ought to have really been uninstalled so that Combofix could have been run.

Uninstall the below outdated Java.

• J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11
• Java(TM) 6 Update 13
• Java(TM) 6 Update 7
• Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1

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:

R3 - URLSearchHook: &Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

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:

:reg
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045}]

:Commands
[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 notepad, save it as something appropriate and attach it 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.

I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so.

TDSSkiller - How to run

Reboot your machine and install the most current and up to date version of Java available here at the below link:

Java Runtime 6

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) 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!

 

Is everything okay with your start up, Program Files, desktop and quicklaunch. Is anything like that hidden from you? Everything as it should be?

I had left the " at the end of some of those files for deletion so they did not go last time. My apologies.

Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:

Code:

KILLALL::

File::
C:\Documents and Settings\sony\Local Settings\Application Data\3s0b02123f6r5tf0a0pgt1xhbnx42txruqu515byi350
C:\Documents and Settings\sony\Local Settings\Application Data\5nmo2vw136
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\3s0b02123f6r5tf0a0pgt1xhbnx42txruqu515byi350
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\5nmo2vw136
C:\Documents and Settings\sony\Templates\3s0b02123f6r5tf0a0pgt1xhbnx42txruqu515byi350
C:\Documents and Settings\sony\Templates\5nmo2vw136

• 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
  
  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif
  
  
• 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.

If after running Combofix you discover none of your programs will open up, and you recieve the following error: "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion". Then the answer is to REBOOT the machine, and all will be corrected.

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

 

I just so happen to be a Miss, not a sir. LOL

You are most welcome. Safe surfing!

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

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. 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 (If we renamed it please rename it back to Combofix.exe.
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 of 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.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. 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.
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:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

Not to worry, people constantly assume I am a man on the internet :-D

Most welcome.

That sounds like it is just the firewall to me, but you may need to check in the software forum for further advice. What exactly appears in add/remove programs for its name?

Only purchase one of these for they both have real time protection when you pay for them, using two will cause conflicts. Obviously you can use both of the free versions though as none of those offer real time protection.

You will just need to check that you do indeed have antivirus included in the comodo software you are using. Use either SAS or MBAM paid for, only one.

 

Nope, you still need antivirus as SUPERantispyware is just anti-spyware.
