    i have completed the cleaning as directed in the before you post.

    there are some things that cannot be removed.

    Upon trying to remove some of the trojans identified, or quarantine them, the system totally shuts down and reboots itself. We have disabled system restore to make sure that is covered.

    I am familiar with the rules, and have cleaned the computer to the best that the programs you instruct will allow.

    May I please post a hijack this now?

    thank you

    per your instructions

    okay i am doing this exactly as you told me.

    i will post a new log shortly.

    However, please note some files could NOT be deleted manually that you specified. It said they were unable to be deleted because they were copyrighted or in use. Upon making sure that they WERE NOT IN USE by killing them in the task manager, then we could not access them again to delete them, because the whole problem started again.

    These files that not able to be deleted were some .dll files and some .dat files.

    I await a reply on my new Hijack Log. Please also note that my computer SHUTS DOWN by itself after running Hijack THIS when trying to FIX the BHO files.

    thanks

    and my Internet Explorer is still hijacked

    I seem to be unable to use Intenet explorer and any other internet-related programs. I've run spyware removal already, but I'm still unable to use any internet programs. The error comes up to this when I use I.E.:
    res//c:\windows\system32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm

    latest HIJACK LOG

    it appears most definitely that IE has been hijacked.

    ALso, upon running everything, Hijack this, CC cleaner, etc.

    Once the system is rebooted, some of the files come back.

    This has happened even though we have followed instructions carefully

    and also worked in safe mode when instructed to.

    WE also have stopped the system restore and some files continue to come back.

    Mainly the .dat files, and the Bad in the Temporary documents

    Please note I followed your instructions to the T
    i removed everything you said.

    I ran cc cleaner.

    Upon running a NEW HIJACK LOG, they all RETURNED AGAIN.

    I was in SAFE MODE the entire time. :(

    Virtumundo virus

    the programs did not locate anything of the sort on the computer.

    i read the follow up also.

    at this point, i am wondering...............

    i am willing to restore, but do not have restore disk. My computer was built by a friend. Its a nice computer, but he has since moved out of state.

    Can I go buy Windows XP and some sort of wipe/clean and start my whole computer configuration and system from scratch?

    this is really a nightmare because everything i remove continues to come back after every reboot, and that it is with FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS perfectly.
    thanks for you continued help, ive been at this for days.

    You have two other items in the log t0o.

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Microsoft Update DLL] rxxhost.exe
    O20 - Winlogon Notify: dllcmd - C:\DOCUME~1\OWNAGE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\dmclld.dat


    The 020 is part of Virtumundo. The other line is not. But it needs to be fixed and the file (probably c:\windows\system32\rxxhost.exe) must be deleted too.

    what if i cant get on line yet?

    my IE is highjacked

    also

    i cant get on line

    should i still run the KillVirmundo?


     
  12. dustinmuyo

    dustinmuyo Private E-2

    I ran the tools you suggested. the computer froze for over 3 hours, and never launched Hijack this.

    now what?
     
  13. dustinmuyo

    dustinmuyo Private E-2

    to chas

    the dllcmd file continues to comes back. When running the ProcessExpNT zip suggested, the file continues to immediately produce itself after deletion. Sometimes it comes back in 3s. There are 1,000 of strings attached to this file also. The cursor file is a big problem also. Even after doing extensive searching, and then running all of these tools, it cannot be killed, quarantined, or deleted.

    Listen at this point, i am not worried about saving anything on my computer. However, the computer was built by someone who never gave me the restore disks (they moved before I got them). I went to staples and they told me there is no way to restore the drive because it is not a HP. BULL!!!

    anyway, are there tools here to WIPE the drive, and then possibly I should buy WINxp operating system myself and start fresh? Or is wiping a drive, much more complicated........I do not know anything about BIOS or NFATS files.

    thanks chas.

    THESE file cannot be removed.

    O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {BB54DE33-E539-4749-BFAC-CC49617E8F2A} - C:\DOCUME~1\OWNAGE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\dmclld.dat
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*dllcmd] C:\WINDOWS\Cursors\dllcmd.exe rerun



    They continue to return and i have followed all instructions.

    i do not what to do now. Its a very nice computer, very fast. Is it trashed now?

    is there any hope?

    You have a lot more files to look for. Things like (for example): dmclld.dat, dmclld.ini, dmclld.bak, dllcmd.dat, dllcmd.ini, dllcmd.bak, bkinst.exe.

    See some of the threads in the Virtumundo sticky and you will understand what I'm referring to. These other files have to be found and removed too or your problem will keep reoccurring.

    Configure Windows Search properly to look for hidden and system files and seach for filenames without the extensions. Like:

    bkinst
    dmclld

    dllcmd
    xafsa

    asfax
     
  17. dustinmuyo

    dustinmuyo Private E-2

    NEW LOG, continuing thread

    Out of the files you instructed me to look for dmclld.dat, dmclld.ini, dmclld.bak, dllcmd.dat, dllcmd.ini, dllcmd.bak, bkinst.exe.

    ONLY The cursor file dllcmd.exe rerun is there and CANNOT Be deleted NO MATTER WHAT we have used thus far. It continues to return or say it cannot be deleted, per using your instructions.

    AND

    The dat file in the owners temp folder Documents and SettingsLoca settings\ownagebeast\temp with the dmclld.dat cannot be deleted, it refuses to be deleted with all of the processes and programs recommended in this thread thus far.

    Heres the log, and they are STILL there. Im sorry, but they wont go away.

    O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {BB54DE33-E539-4749-BFAC-CC49617E8F2A}

    Listen, the really bad file, O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {BB54DE33-E539-4749-BFAC-CC49617E8F2A} - C:\DOCUME~1\OWNAGE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\dmclld.dat is has corrupted my IE, I chose to delete IE and will reinstall that later, when I am able to get on line.

    I am using someone elses computer to post.

    I have lost 3 days of work over this, and really dont have alot more time to put into it.

    should we keep going??? or should i purchase a new formatted hard drive and purchase Windows?

    No! You need to use Windows Search to search thru all of the PC. Not Windows Explorer. That would take forever. The settings for Explorer are not related to Windows Search. See below.

    If you use Search, you need to do the following:
    Click Search and the Select "All files and folders"
    Enter the filename in the "All or part of the file name:" box, so enter dmclld
    Now select "More advanced options"
    Make sure the following check boxes are checked:
    - Search system folders
    - Search hidden files and folders
    - Search subfolders
    Then click the Search button.

    Do the same for all filenames and leave of the extension (like .dat) because there could be all kinds of matches to extensions.

    I know you did not use the words "Windows Explorer", and I know the word search was even at the start of the sentence, but you said
    That would mean Windows Explorer to most people because of the word "viewing" and the words are just like in the READ ME. If we do not tell users how to properly use Search, it will not be configure properly and probably will not even be used in some cases. Telling them how to configure and use search is always better because most people will not know how.

    In message # 25 I was just trying to get you guys running in the right direction like the READ ME for Virtumundo gives.

    I cant get ON line to do this....to update

    as i told you previously in my posts, WE CANT get this computer on line yet. IT WONT WORK.

    how will i UPDATE? EWIDO to do this ?

    Re: I cant get ON line to do this....to update

    The signature database is downloadable.

    See: http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

    You could download what you need elsewhere and burn to a CD or flashdrive and copy to the infected PC if you have the ability.

    You should still go back to message # 29 and use search as I indicated and search your PC for all the combinations of files I indicate. Provide the results back here.

    Also post a current HJT log.

    Have you tried using a different browser to get online (like Firefox). Again download using another PC and copy to this one if feasible.
     
  23. dustinmuyo

    dustinmuyo Private E-2

    when i find these files you asked me to search for, though, they say they are copyrighted, in use, and cannot be deleted.

    I dont understand why they are "in use"........nothing is open.

    therefore, i can delete them this way through search.

    let me run this EWIDO, post a new log, and get back to you. Thanks so much for following me with this thread. This really is a nightmare.



     
  24. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    I said
    I did not say to delete them. I want to know exactly what file names are and in what folders you found what.

    If they are the ones related to the Virtumundo problem they are in use because the malware is still running on your PC.

    I was still waiting for the results of what I asked you to search for; however, your HJT log looks clean of Virtumundo now.

    Are you still having any problems? Have you rebooted since posting the log and are you still clean?

    the results of what you asked me to look for were NEGATIVE

    doing the search exactly as you requested NEGATIVE

    now what?

    my IE wont open and I believe the browser was hijacked.

    If you recommend MOzilla Firefox, where can I downlaod a SAFE copy and after I do, do i delete internet explorer totally from the system with everything in the folder??

    I am going to run another hijack this log, after re-running Ad-Aware with the updates and AVG with the updates for you in a few minutes.

    Thanks for continuing to follow.



     
  28. dustinmuyo

    dustinmuyo Private E-2

    okay heres another log. Ad Aware came up CLEAN finally.
    CC cleaner came up CLEAN finally.
    AVG came up CLEAN finally.

    i need to know the following, please.

    will sygate and AVG be enough to protect me from this VirtuMundo virus again?

    Am i clean, totally?

    Do you advise AGAINST, a wireless network?? for this computer?

    Any other suggestion for this log and/or system?

    thanks

    Almost VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

    do i need to remove any of these programs i downloaded for cleaning FROM MY COMPUTER?

    Should Ewido not be running at ALL now?

    Should I only RUN AVG free edition and SYgate when on line?

    thanks.

    I also have ALOT of files in C:/windows/system32 that I dont know what they are? and wonder about whether they are safe.

    I also seem to have alot of svc.host files

    and services??? not sure about this?

    is there anyway to post a log about whats going in this System32 file?

    or a program to check it? To see what I NEED and what I DO NOT NEED.

    I am afraid, as I saw that in the computer, not only is their ADMINISTRATOR, DUSTIN (myself), BUT there are also 4 others which I do not know who they are, and they have FULL PRIVILEDGES to the computer. I do NOT know how to delete these safely or what to do.

    Sorry, but i must be SAFE, and I must be sure I cannot be hijacked or remotely controlled AGAIN by these people.

    thanks.

    dustinmuyo Private E-2

    yes thank you so much for that.

    the problem lies now that IE wont open any pages, wont connect to the home page or any other page.

    reinstalled IE and still cant connect.

    Upon trying to reinstall the cable internet software, we are a script error.

    not sure how to log this info to show you.

    cant get a wireless connection or a STRAIGHT connection directly connected broadband through the computer.

    wondering if this a computer and/or IE problems?
