Full Version: Pest Trap Trojan
Lavasoft Support Forums > Archived Topics > Archives: Resolved/Inactive Topics > Resolved/Inactive HijackThis Logs
Duncan Yahn
I have gotten infected with a trojan another site calls "trojan.agent.rt" which constantly reloads a trial version of Pest Trap no matter how many times I eradicate it using Adaware SE, manual deletions and Norton Windoctor (to clean up the registry afterwards). I'm really suprised Adaware SE can't kill it, but am even more suprised that the FTC hasn't shut these con artists down yet.

The intial screen which starts the problem rolling is a certificate prompt asking if you trust the content from HIPOINT Ltd, using "http://di.info" as the loading site. The cert pops up repeatedly no matter how many times you deny it. The object of the perps is to get the Pest Trap Trail version installed on your machine. Once it's loaded it obnoxiously informs you of false adware dangers and says you must pay the registration fee to get these "terribly dangerous infections" removed. Actually, the only terribly dangerous infection IS the program itself.

What can Lavasoft do for this? Ad Aware SE seems to be thwarted by these jerks.

I recently saw a computer that had "pest trap" on, it also had another malware that replaces programs that load at startup with itself, you may want to check that none of your load at startup programs have been replaced.
Duncan Yahn
I think you have something there. In trying to eradicate this trojan, I noticed that when it was soliciting me to be installed it was showing up in a dialog box labled as the update manager for WordPerfect. I deletd WP and all of it's related files thinking it was the culprit, but it is back anyway. AND now on my other PC, a phony Adobe update manager dialog box is popping up with this same solicitation to download this bugger.

This has got to be illegal, isn't it? Isn't this the same offence as an internet worm or virus? These deceptive and corrupting tactics to get someone to take on a company's product has got to be, at the least, a violation of US trade practices and subjects this outfit to penalties from the Federal Trade Commision. Not to mention civil action from the companies whose names are being hijacked for these download requests.

Can anyone give me a program to use which will scan my HD for all instances of hijackers like this one? I've heard some nick names for progs dropped here and there, but don't know how to get one of them.

Thanx

LS CalamityJane
Hi, the problem is that the perpetrators do not operate out of the US, therefore the FTC cannot touch them.

We have various tools to help eradicate this pest, it sounds like a new variant that Ad-Aware doesn't detect yet.

Could you please post the following

1. Your Adaware Scan log with the latest reference file update.

Please make sure that you are using
Ad-aware SE Build 106r1
Note: If your version is 6.0 and not the SE, you need to uninstall and get the latest version from the above link.

[if not Uninstall your old Ad-aware first then install SE]
See here for how to get the latest verison of Ad-Aware:
http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=1163

Then use the WebUpDate
to get the latest Definition file
SE1R135 27.11.2006
To do this Open Ad-aware
Click the WebUpDate
button at the top right hand side of the Ad-aware screen (The world globe).
Click "Connect"
Ad-aware will then download the latest Definition file for you.
To make sure it is updated , look at the main
Ad-aware screen, and look under "Initialization Status"
It should say the Latest Definition file.
then scan doing a "Full Scan"
and then post your logfile here by using the Add-Reply Feature .
As Logs are stored in :
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Lavasoft\Ad-aware\Logs\.
An easy way to get there is to
click Start,
click Run
And type in and press ENTER: %appdata%
then click Lavasoft
then Ad-Aware
and then Logs.
scroll down to find the latest one that you have
(by date & time)
and open it right Click select all
copy and then paste the contents of it here.

2. A diagnostic log from this free tool called HijackThis

Duncan Yahn
Thanks for the response! ...and here you go. I had to post it as an attachment because it's too long to paste here. It's in the form of a Wordpad .rtf file.

Be aware that I know about the Gain adware, and I do tolerate it, as I'm using Gators e-wallet and one won't work without the other. I am removing it soon to use Roboform instead, but first have to get up the funds to register the latter. I will look for the "Hijack This" software and run a scan with that when I find it, posting that log here too.

Thanx again,

Duncan

Here is the Hijack This log file.

Thanx again,

Thanks for the logs.

I'm reviewing these next. The HijackThis log is cut off on the bottom. Could you please scan again and then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to get the entire text in?
LS CalamityJane
Thanks, That reveals a couple of traces. I'm going to need one other log please now that I've seen that.

But first, I'd like to get copies of some files from you so we can add to our detection database.

Go here to upload the files as attachments
http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=1.0
Just press new topic (Make the subject: For CalamityJane from Duncan Yahn at LS ),
fill in a short message & then press the browse button and then navigate to & select these files on your computer, If there is more than 1 file then press the more attachments button for each extra file and browse and select etc and then when all the files are listed in the windows press the *Post* button to upload the files

Files to attach for upload:

C:\winstall.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntsystem.exe

You DO NOT need to register to start a topic or upload, anybody can upload the files

You will not see the files that have been uploaded as they only show to the authorized users who can download them. I will be able to see them and collect them from there.

If there is more than 1 file then press the more attachments button for each extra file and browse and select etc and then when all the files are listed in the windows press the *Post* button to attach the file and post the message.

...............
When you have done that, please come back to this topic and run the following tool please. This will produce the other log I need for the info to write up a fix for you.

1. Download this file - combofix.exe
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/combofix.exe

2. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

Note: If you receive a popup with a Disclaimer, read that and answer Y for yes (or N for no)
Y is recommended (if you put N, the tool will exit without fixing and will remove the combofix file and folders)


Do NOT click on the window while the fix is running, because that will cause your system to hang and the fix to stall.

3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
Duncan Yahn
\Jane,

I posted the uploads on the forum location you stated and here is the combofix log.

Thanx, Dunc

Thanks, I did get the files and will submit them for future detection which will help everyone!

Open HijackThis and do a *system scan only*

When it finishes, place a checkmark in the boxes next to these entries

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [gwiz] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntsystem.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Windows installer] C:\winstall.exe

Then press the *fix checked* button

Close HijackThis and delete this file:


C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntsystem.exe

................................
1. Go to *Start* then *Run* and type in regedit and hit *OK*.
Go to *File* then *Export* and save the registry somewhere as a backup. Give it a name you'll remember like SaveReg.reg. That is a backup just in case something doesn't go right and we could restore the registry if needed.

Next, Open Notepad, then copy and paste the following lines shown in bold into Notepad:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\securityproviders]
"SecurityProviders"="msapsspc.dll, schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll"


Save the text file pasted into notepad to the desktop as fix.reg and make sure the "Save as Type" field says "All Files". Then please go to the desktop and double-click on fix.reg, and click Yes to merge it with the registry.
.......................
Now please reboot your PC.

Then scan one more with HijackThis and ComboFix and post the new logs from both scans.
ComboFix will have made a second log for the scan named: ComboFix2.txt on your hard drive.

It was the fix 9 days ago when I posted it. PestTrap which wasn't previously showing has reinstalled itself since.

If you only applied that fix today, then it was too late.

Please try to stick with this.

Please download the Killbox by Option^Explicit.
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip

Unzip/Extract the contents to your desktop
How to extract (decompress) zipped or compressed files
http://www.lvsonline.com/compresstut/index.shtml

We'll use that utility later.
........................................

First make a copy of these instructions to have handy. Disconnect your computer from the internet

Open HijackThis and do a system scan only.

When it finishes, checkmark these entries then press the *fix checked* button

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PestTrap] C:\Program Files\PestTrap\PestTrap.exe

Delete the folder:
C:\Program Files\PestTrap

Open Notepad, then copy and paste the following lines shown in bold into Notepad:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\securityproviders]
"SecurityProviders"="msapsspc.dll, schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll"


Save the text file pasted into notepad to the desktop as fix.reg and make sure the "Save as Type" field says "All Files". Then please go to the desktop and double-click on fix.reg, and click Yes to merge it with the registry.
...........................
Now we'll use Killbox

1. Open Killbox by clicking on Killbox.exe

2. Select *Delete on Reboot* in the first column

Click to view attachment

3. Copy the following text shown in bold below to clipboard by highlighting the bold text and press Control + C

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntoskrnl.dll

4. In Killbox, select the "File" tab at the top

5. Choose "Paste from Clipboard" in the drop down menu

Click to view attachment

6. Press the red button with the white x in it.

7. You will receive a prompt stating that files will be deleted on next reboot. Do you want to reboot now?
Choose Yes when asked if you want to reboot. If your computer does not restart, please reboot it manually

Then, after a reboot, please scan and post a fresh HijackThis log and a fresh ComboFix log

I had exactly the same problem as you. No matter how many times I got rid if the damn trojan, it kept coming back. It turns out that the Java platform was reloading the trojan each time I accessed the internet and by completing the following instructions I managed to get prevent it from coming back.

Updating Java and Clearing Cache

1. Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on the Java Icon (coffee cup) in the Control Panel.
2. It will say "Java Plug-in" under the icon. Please find the update button or tab in the Java Control Panel. Update your Java then reboot.
3. If you are unable to update you can manually update by going here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
4. After the reboot, go back into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon.
5. Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Delete Files button.
6. There are three options in the window to clear the cache - Leave ALL 3 Checked
Downloaded Applets
Downloaded Applications
Other Files

7. Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
8. Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.

After completing the above, delete all traces of the trojan from your machine as explained earlier and your problem should be solved.

Hope this helps.
