Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 7:20 pm

OK...I've followed instructions, updated Java, dumped the old versions, updated Adobe Reader, and gotten a Hijack This log...

Computer is (was) running CA Associates Security Center, but whatever this system is infected with will not allow the spyware tool to operate, and it looks like the virus scanner refuses to update. And, clicking on Google search results is a real party...no telling where you will end up, but it certainly won't be the place you thought you were going.

TIA for your help gentlemen. Here's the HT log:

Seems short compared to the other logs I've seen, but I'll await your help.

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 7:23 pm

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop
Link: HERE or HERE.

Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

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

Leave the script box empty.
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.

3. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply.

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 7:54 pm

Nope, that's only stopped the main driver, now we can start removing all the stuff related to this malware.

Please download and run this tool.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Note)
The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.
If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

Post the contents of the MBAM Log.

Now, one last scan to make sure it's gone.

Please download DDS by sUBs to your Desktop (Important!!) from one of these locations:
Link 1
Link 2
Double click DDS.scr to run
When complete, DDS.txt will open.
Save the report to your Desktop.
Copy and paste DDS.txt back here, I don't need to see attach.txt.

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 8:38 pm

Hello.
Delete this file in bold:
C:\reregisterie.cmd

You are also running two AV's, this is a bad idea as they can conflict and cause problems. I see Threatfire and CA.
I would recommend that you remove CA to avoid conflict and other future problems. Before we do that though, lets get an uninstall log.

Open HijackThis.
When Hijack This opens, click "Open the Misc Tools section"
Then select "Open Uninstall Manager"
Click on "Save List..." (generates uninstall_list.txt)
Click Save, copy and paste the results in your next post.

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 9:12 pm

Hello.
Have you already removed Threatfire? I don't see it on the uninstall list.

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 10:09 pm

I done killed it. Sticking with the CA Associates proggie, which is what is given to RoadRunner subscribers. And it was NOT in the 'Add and Remove Programs' list, but the folder was there in the Program Files folder. I reinstalled the program, and uninstalled it, and the dang folder was still there. So I nuked it.

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 10:16 pm

Oh, okay.
Anyhow, the log looks fine aside from that cmd file I asked you to delete.

How's the machine running now?

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 10:22 pm

Like a champ.

One thing...I had to uninstall the CA Associates Security Suite, as the anti-spyware portion of the suite absolutely refused to update, and real-time protection for the spyware would NOT enable no matter what I tried (tray icon was also missing and I could not bring it back either). I still had the install executable and key code, so I dumped the program and reinstalled. Working fine now.

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 10:38 pm

We need to make a new restore point.

To turn off System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (or the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box), and then click OK.
4. Click Yes when you receive the prompt to the turn off System Restore.

Now we need to make a new restore point.
To turn on System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (To turn on System Restore), and then click OK.

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.

Please also read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place

If you would take a moment to fill out our feedback form, we would appreciate it.
The link can be found here.

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

Re: Hijacked Computer?!13th April 2009, 11:33 pm

Looks good. $25 donation forthcoming. Thank you so much!

I may start another thread. I have a computer that seems to run basically OK, but HDD access is getting slower and slower these last couple of months. It may have nothing to do with a virus or malware, but I'd like another opinion. Smile...
