Trojan Horse Clicker.AALX

Hi,

I'm running AVG on Vista and this trojan warning pops up every time I open the browser.
I've tried removing it with AVG but without success.

Any assistance will be much appreciated.

When starting explorer AVG Resident Shield window pops up with "multiple threat warning".
System32\MSIVXkrmqkqneqvipwtpwnyitwcuomocdexui.dll

I have tried to remove this using AVG but I get the same window popping up when explorer is restarted.

I am also getting a windows warning when clicking some web liks saying that my system is under attack, various windows pop up asking me to click "ok" to start a scan but instead I click cancel or X. Each time I do this a new window opens.

I hope you have everything you need.
Thanks in advance.

Ian

Hello ian4815,

Welcome to Geek Police, my name is Origin and I will be helping you today. Please keep the following in mind:

• If you do not get a reply from me or another helper within 2 days, please reply to your topic with the phrase BUMP
  
• If you have any cracked/pirated software in your computer delete them or we will not help you.
  
• Only follow advise from Geek Police Staff and not a regular member.
  
• Do NOT run any tool without Geek Police supervision as it could hinder your system useless.
  

• Open HijackThis.
  
• Choose "Do a system scan only"
  
• Check the boxes in front of these lines:

• Press "Fix Checked"
  
• Close Hijack This.
  

• Download combofix from here
  Link 1
  Link 2
  

1. If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:

* Tools->Options->Main tab
* Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".

2. During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:





3. It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
4. Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
5. Close any open browsers.
6. We need to disable your local AV (Anti-virus) before running Combofix.

• See HERE for how to disable your AV.
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe.
  
• Follow the prompts. NOTE:
  
• Allow combofix to run
  
• Post C:\combofix.txt back here.
  
  Note:
  Do not mouse click combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
  

Combo-Fix appeared to run but the pc had to shut down (root kit). I was asked to write domn some file names but half way through it shut down automatically. On re-start I tried to re-run Combo-Fix but an error pop up saying I cant change the name of ComboFix to Combo-Fix.???

However, on activating AVG and Internet Explorer, I dont get the "Infection" warning appearing as before.

Well, perhaps Combofix did some good, might have disabled the main rootkit driver now.

Download Combofix without renaming it and see if it runs. Keep AVG disabled though.
