Trojan?

HJT found:

It didn't find:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SearchIndexer] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpjqyixy.dll",sitypnow

HJT failed to fix the 4, it just closed the window & the items reappeared after a scan.

Attempted to delete the following in safe mode:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddabc.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\yaywtqr.dll

Got the message 'failed to delete... please close any applications using them'

Processes running in safe mode were:

taskmgr.exe
wmiprvse.exe
mcods.exe
svchost.exe
svchost.exe
svchost.exe
lsass.exe
services.exe
winlogon.exe
csrss.exe
smss.exe
system
system.idle

neljan,

Download Process Explorer and boot into safe mode.

Open process explorer and double-click on winlogon.exe. That will open the Properties dialog, now go to the Threads tab. Highlight each thread ID instance of ddabc.dll or yaywtqr.dll and click the "Kill" button. Do the same thing for the lsass.exe process as well since newer variants are injecting into it as well. After all threads have been killed navigate to the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory and delete both ddabc.dll and yaywtqr.dll. If you still get a failed message then check each and every safe mode process until you are sure that none of them have any ddabc.dll or yaymtqr.dll threads.

After you've deleted the files finally you should be able to delete the 4 registry entries using HJT.

Thanks for not giving up on me JPH... your a legend

Ok, using Process Explorer I found & killed the ddabc.dll & yaywtqr.dll but couldn't at first see isass.exe.

I then tried to delete the 2 files using explorer but they were still in use...

I then went back into PE & saw that the isass.exe had it's own little group under services (double clicking it opens up a whole bunch of threads):



When I kill the isass.exe I get this pop-up:



I quickly tried did a scan with HJT before the minute was up & managed to delete:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {1A4CD7C1-E016-4ABD-AE93-0664921557A1} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddabc.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8BF884A4-CF81-4E00-B7C1-076FCE6CFDD7} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\yaywtqr.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ddabc - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddabc.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: yaywtqr - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\yaywtqr.dll

I rebooted in safe mode & PE & HJT now show no sign of the above 4, also in explorer, only yaywtqr.dll was present, which I was able to delete.

That leaves us with isass.exe... I won't do anything else until you advise further, have the laptop in safe mode...

neljan,

No problem, I'm glad I could help.

I'm sorry that I didn't explain about lsass.exe very well, I think you misunderstood me. What I meant was for you to check the threads being used by lsass.exe and kill any ddabc.dll or yaywtqr.dll threads that were attached to it. You don't want to kill the lsass.exe process itself, that is a necessary system process which is why your system shut itself down when you killed it.

With that being said, I think you're clean now. I would post a final HJT log and run VundoFix one more time just to be sure. Also, you should uninstall all old versions of Java and get the latest version from here.

So how is it running now? No more popups I hope...

- JPH

No apologies necessary my friend...

I did a HJT scan then a VundoFix, VundoFix found 2 more items (cbadd.ini & dbadc.dll) which VundoFix removed.

I then did another HJT scan:

I've unistalled Java & started windows normally... I had my browser idle for about 5 minutes with no pop ups/hijacks  Restarted again to see if privacy settings were changed, they weren't 

JPH I could kiss yu! 

How's it looking on the log?

Great! The log file looks clean!

JPH I must admit, I had my doubts along the way, but you came through in the end fella! (or darling )

Everytime something didn't work I thought it was going to be a format job, but you kept coming back with another approach... amazing, I've never experienced such support & good direct advice before!

I can't thank you enough, my son was so dissapointed at not being able to use his laptop over the weekend, he's only 9 & he was getting 'naked lady' pop-ups, so I couldn't let him on it.

The wife will be pleased aswell, no more f'ing & blinding out of me (well, over the laptop anyway!).

So how did you come by all this knowledge? do you work in I.T?

Well if you're happy, your wife's happy and your son's happy then I'm happy.
BTW, fella would be the proper distinction and yes I happen to work in IT.

- JPH

Ok darling! 

I'm actually now using your advice to try & help someone else, maybe you could supervise? be nice having you around again!
