descriptionWin32.Zafi.B EmptyWin32.Zafi.B

I have no idea how I got this, but I went from browsing to a Windows XP firewall 'off' warning, to computer shutdown, restart. Firefox immediately would not work, Opera was fine for a while, now that just redirects every url to some crappy site or other.

It will not allow NOD32 to update. It won't allow Spyware Doctor to run or install. It won't allow mbam-setup.exe to run. On bootup it turns the XP firewall off, and then warns me of a win32.zafi.b virus - the keep blocking/allow options are greyed out and I can only either close the window or click 'enable protection', at which point a browser appears and redirects me to what is obviously some crappy malware.

Here are the requested logs from Hijackthis:

I can still use the internet for a while as I have a laptop (which I'm on now) with Vista and Ubuntu, but my tax return is due shortly and I can't use my desktop PC because of this fault.

Oh and I cannot enter safe mode at bootup either - just a black screen with the 'safe mode' text in each corner. A mouse pointer, but nothing else, no activity.

ok doing that now.

By the way, changing the install name of mbam-setup.exe to something else (in this case affixing it with (3).exe) allows it to install. Once installed however, it still would not run - so I changed the exe file to mbam1.exe - and it ran fine.

It's scanning now.

Sorry, I've had to be this same tool nearly all day because we have had a flood of traffic all with the same infection, so it makes my life easier if I just copy and paste and I can answer users quicker. Yes, please reflect the change.

Sorry, I've had to be this same tool nearly all day because we have had a flood of traffic all with the same infection, so it makes my life easier if I just copy and paste and I can answer users quicker. Yes, please reflect the change.


It's ok, I looked in this directory and saw all the posts and wondered if I'd get a response. I really must thank you for being so gracious and replying so quickly. The assistance is already showing results as Malwarebytes has already found and deleted a few naughty things. I'm hoping that running those scans will only help, and not hinder our progress.

Hello.
Please don't run MBAM yet, running two tools at the same time without being asked to can cause confusion on my half, and then I don't know where we stand.
We need to use the avenger again, and this time, my script is right.

2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):


Drivers to disable:
cyqjub

Drivers to delete:
TDSSserv.sys

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS.0\system32\drivers\TDSSmaxt.sys


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.


3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

  • Under "Input script here:", paste in the script from the quote box above.
  • Leave the ticked box "Scan for rootkit" ticked.
  • Then tick "Disable any rootkits found"
  • Now click on the Execute to begin execution of the script.
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

    The Avenger will automatically do the following:

  • It will Restart your computer.
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
4. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply.

I have a feeling it could not find the above entries because MBAM already found 5 infections, which I deleted. I apologise if this is creating problems for you.

Hello.
The files weren't removed probably because MBAM has found them and removed them, but the driver has been deleted.

Please run MBAM now and remove everything found, then once MBAM has done and everything is removed, please do this.


  • Please download DDS by sUBs to your Desktop (Important!!) from one of these locations:
    Link 1
    Link 2
    Link 3
  • Double click DDS.scr to run
  • When complete, DDS.txt will open.
  • Click No for Optional Scan.
  • Save the report to your Desktop.
  • Copy and paste DDS.txt back here, I don't need to see attach.txt.

MBAM is running now on a full system scan, so it may be a while before I reply. Things are already looking much better though, no annoying firewall turnoffs and things, and no crashes upon startup.

Does this site accept donations? I will happily contribute if so.

At first glance, both browsers (FF and Opera) now appear to be functioning correctly. Google searches are not being redirected, and I can get onto the Eset website without problem (was being redirected before).

I am removing NOD32 and reinstalling, for the duration of the infection I had removed my existing (paid) version and installed the latest beta test, however the virus wouldn't allow it to update to the latest virus library, and there may be an issue with the password I have been provided with. I am reinstalling my existing version to see if it will allow me to update the virus libraries.

Other than that, everything seems fine. Would it be a good idea to change my login password, and my email passwords? Presumably the access passwords to my router will be unaffected but should I change them anyway? Forums I'm not concerned with, and I do not use internet banking although I do use Paypal and Ebay - I'll change those.

Change them if you feel you want to, but the virus hasn't stolen any passwords.

NOD32 reinstalled (downloaded direct from ftp) perfectly and has updated itself without issue.

I will keep a close eye on the computer for now, but I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for your help resolving this. I know I'm just words on a screen, but believe me when I say I am one very very grateful computer owner, and that if there is anything I can do to return your hard work, please just let me know.

Thank you very much.

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer in order to prevent future malware infections. Please take these recommendations seriously; these few simple steps can stave off the vast majority of spyware problems. As happy as we are to help you, for your sake we would rather not have repeat customers. Goofy

1) Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the "critical updates" for Windows. This can patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer.

Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates , or get into the habit of checking for Windows updates regularly. I cannot stress enough how important this is.

2) In order to protect yourself against spyware, you should consider installing and running the following free programs:

Ad-Aware SE
A tutorial on using Ad-Aware to remove spyware from your computer may be found here.

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features.

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent spyware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for realtime protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

Make sure to keep these programs up-to-date and to run them regularly, as this can prevent a great deal of spyware hassle.

3) Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in popup blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
I also recommand the following add-ons for Firefox, they will help keep you safe from malicious scripts or activeX exploits.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

4) Also make sure to run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep it up-to-date.

To help you keep your software updated, please considering using this free software program that will check for program updates.
Update Checker

5) Finally, consider maintaining a firewall. Some good free firewalls are Kerio, or
Outpost
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.

Hopefully this should take care of your problems! Good luck. Big Grin

Thankyou for the excellent advice Smile... I have created a new restore point. I will download some of the spyware tools you recommended, other than that I already follow the rest of the advice. Everything is updated automatically, on a daily basis.

I am utterly clueless as to how this infection occurred, I never open unknown attachments so I'll have a read of that guide.

Once again, thank you very much for your help. By the way, I don't suppose you have a link that explains what this virus does?

ahh, email gathering only. That's alright, I tend to think most of the people I email myself have limited or no virus protection anyway. They can have some back Wink
