AdAware scan found the file Win32Rootkit. We have noticed strange things with the laptop lately, including redirects from google search results, Internet Explorer running in the background (not showing up in Task Mgr Applications), no longer automatically logging into sites (flickr, ebay, etc.) that used to be automatic.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

THanks

Hi there,


Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix, link
   Remember to re-enable them afterwards.
   
   
2. Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt
New HijackThis log.

A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.

I downloaded ComboFix to the Desktop and disabled AdAware.

Double-clicked ComboFix and got the Open File Security warning.

Clicked Run and got the working-in-background hourglass/pointer for about 5 seconds.

Then no other action.

Tried this a few times.

Sorry - I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

Hi

Please rename ComboFix.exe file -> CombFxx.exe and try running again.

Renamed ComboFix.exe to CombFxx.exe and ran it.
Clicked 'ok' to multi-lingual message saying incompatible OS, that CF only works with XP and 2000? My OS is XP
Clicked 'no' to message saying new version available, do you want to download
ComboFix ran, and halfway through noted the following activity for me to write down:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdra64.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\UACxbqppeyx.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACyxvimnpx.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACmprqiewq.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACecpavdqx.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACiypqltmn.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACulnbmnet.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACjgvytkdm.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACrxnsuubc.log
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACbrgwwlpf.log
C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACojnjstlw.log

ComboFix completed 50 stages, including deletion of some files, and started to prepare log report.
Clicked 'yes' to error message "cannot find the ......\Temp\log.txt file do you want to create new?"
Blank "log.txt" opened up
Now the cursor and desktop background image appears but remainder of desktop is not restored.

What should i do now?

thanks

Hi

Please reboot the system and see if you can find those reports I requested

Thanks.

ComboFix and HiJack this logs follow...

Hi again

Start hjt, do a system scan, check (if found):

Close browsers and fix checked.



Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:




Save this as
CFScript

A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.



Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
Then post the resultant log.


Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

Hi again,

Delete C:\Documents and Settings\My Computer\Desktop\a.exe file.

Uninstall old Adobe Reader versions and get the latest one here or get Foxit Reader here. Make sure you don't install toolbar if choose Foxit Reader!


Post a fresh hjt log. How's the system running now?

Deleted a.exe
Uninstalled old and installed new Adobe Reader
Below is the new hjt log.

Performance improved dramatically after running ComboFix 1st time. Running slightly slower after the Kaspersky scan (which took almost 2 hrs). The 'users' under Task Mgr processes look new to me ("LOCAL SERVICE", "NETWORK SERVICE") but i don't really remember what they were before. The problems mentioned in the original post are no longer occurring.

Thanks again for your help with this.

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable

The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

• hosts file:
  • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
  • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
  • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
  • However, it can slow down certain computers.
  • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
  Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
  If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  1. Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
  2. Click run
  3. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  4. hit enter, then locate dns client
  5. Highlight it, then double-click it.
  6. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  7. Click ok

Get Anti Virus Software and keep it updated - Most AVs will update automatically, but if not I would recommend making updating the AV the first job every time the PC is connected to the internet. An AV that is using defs that are seven days old is not going to be much protection. If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. Good free antivirus programs are:
Antivir
Avast!

Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this webpage out.
If you don't have a 3rd party firewall or a router behind NAT then I recommend getting one. I recommend either Online Armor Free or Comodo Firewall Pro (If you choose Comodo: Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and install firewall ONLY!).

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Blade
