    I have a WinXP 32b system with a rogue firewall/antivirus. It blocks most exe's from running in normal mode with popups and fake virus detections. I can still run most scanners from safe mode. The WinDefender is still active in safe mode and only seems to block internet access.

    I have attached some logs, Hitman Pro was unable to run as well as the MGTools. Also attached is a screenshot of the main window of the rogue. I have been unable to find any information specifically for this trojan.

    Note: In the SS the firewall alert is "indicating" an attack from the outside but this system is not connected to the internet at this time.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Malwarebytes found it. Did you reboot after the scan with Malwarebytes? If so, run a new scan and attach the new log. Also do the below with RogueKiller.

    Rerun 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 select the Files tab and if the below exist, click the Delete button again.

    Then immediately reboot your PC.

    After reboot ( into normal mode if possible ), 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

    Thank you for the quick reply.

    I did what you asked and am now able to log into Windows normally. The trojan in question is now not loading.

    I had run Malwarebytes earlier but it would recreate the files before to answer your question. Now it seems to have completely removed the files.

    Look much better but at least one of the malware files remains. Let's run another fix.


    Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.
    • Right-click OTM.exe and select Run as administrator to run it.
    • Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
      (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
      the code box
    Code:
    :Processes
    explorer.exe
     
    :Files
    C:\Documents and Settings\Aaron D. Cone\Local Settings\temp\nseE.tmp
    C:\Documents and Settings\Aaron D. Cone\Local Settings\temp\rcdeq.dll
    C:\Recycler\S-1-5-21-682003330-162531612-725345543-1004\desktop.ini
     
    :Reg
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes]
    "DefaultScope"="{0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A}"
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{0ECDF796-C2DC-4d79-A620-CCE0C0A66CC9}]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
    "Tabs"="res://ieframe.dll/tabswelcome.htm"
    :Commands
    [purity]
    [EmptyTemp]
    [start explorer]
    [Reboot]
    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
      ) and choose Paste.
    • Now click the large http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png button.
    • If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
    • Close OTM.
    Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
    saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
    this log file to your next message.

    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 C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    I ran OTM and here are the new logs.

    Everything seems to be running tip top ATM.

    Once again I wanted to thank you for all the help you have provided with this hard to remove virus. It had me stumped for over a week. I look forward to coming back to MG with other difficult infections.

    You're welcome. Your logs are 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.
    2. Go back to step 6 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. 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.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. 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.
    7. 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.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
