    Explore.exe and services.exe virus - Windows XP...!!!
    « on: December 09, 2010, 04:46:04 PM »
    I think I have viruses on my PC and need assistance in removing them. They could be viruses still present from before re-installing OS.

    Both explorer.exe and services.exe are running processes currently, and I believe they are viruses. My PC and internet are slowing to a crawl so I need help with removal ASAP!


    Any help is greatly appreciated.

            Hello and welcome to
          Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

          1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
          2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
          3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
          4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
          5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
          6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
          7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

          Download Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

          Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

          Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

          Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

          ******************************************************
          Please download ComboFix from BleepingComputer.com

          Alternate link: GeeksToGo.com

          Rename ComboFix.exe to commy.exe before you save it to your Desktop

          Click Start>Run then copy paste the following command into the Run box & click OK "%userprofile%\desktop\commy.exe" /stepdel
          As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
          Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console[/list]

          Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

          Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:


          Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
          When finished, it shall produce a log for you.  Please include the contents of C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

            Thanks for your assistance SuperDave-


            When I ran the ComboFix it detected a rootkit, and restarted the PC just so you are aware.

            You have Viewpoint installed.

            Viewpoint Media Player/Manager/Toolbar is considered as Foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad".

            More information:

            * ViewMgr.exe - Useless
            * Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware

              How's your computer running now?

              I'd like to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

              •Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
              ESET OnlineScan
              •Click the button.
              •For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
               
              • Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
              • Double click on the icon on your desktop.
              •Check
              •Click the button.
              •Accept any security warnings from your browser.
              •Check
              •Push the Start button.
              •ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
              •When the scan completes, push
              •Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.

                SuperDave -

                My PC is running a little bit better than before but it isn't performing like it has before.

                As for the ESET, the scan did not find any infected files.



                What should I do from here?
                Also, I am running XP and want to upgrade. Are all threats removed, and am I able to install/upgrade my OS without worry?
                Thanks again for the help, and I will await your response.

                If you're going to upgrade you OS, I would suggest that you do a re-format first. Then you will know that you're starting with a clean slate. Of course, you will need to back up your important data. I'm confident that your computer is clean but a re-format will make it doubly- sure. Please let me know your intentions. I you want to keep this present OS for some time, we should do some clean up of all the tools we used.

                  Thanks SuperDave -

                  As of right now my PC is still not running as optimally as I would like. Would a re-format/re-install solve my issues?

                  I would like to have my PC running optimally before installing OS if possible, as well. (All malware/viruses removed, running smooth etc.)
                  As far as my current OS, I will likely keep it at least another couple weeks or until I am confident my PC is in prime condition for an OS installation. I could use your help if possible.



                  Also,
                  I appreciate your help, and I wouldn't mind sending you a donation for your time and help if you would like.

                  Yes, a complete format will clean everything. Then you will just have to install your new OS and you're back in business.

                  To wipe the drive clean, reformat and reinstall the OS.

                  The computer will only run as well as the hardware that's inside it. If your computer does not have a dual core or a high rate of speed, it will only run so-so with your new OS. You should have 1 Ghz or faster. The same goes for the amount of RAM that you have. You should have at least 2 gb to run Vista and Windows 7. The MS site states 1 Gb of RAM but I think, this is the minimum.

                    I just have a couple questions before I install.


                    As for the SUPERAntiSpyware files detected, are they removed completely?
                    Of those detected the following are still present in quarantine:

                       C:\Documents and Settings\ADMIN\Cookies\admin@atdmt[2].txt
                       C:\Documents and Settings\ADMIN\Cookies\admin@doubleclick[1].txt
                       C:\Documents and Settings\ADMIN\Cookies\[email protected][2].txt
                       C:\Documents and Settings\ADMIN\Cookies\[email protected][2].txt





                    Also, when I re-installed my current XP I tried installing the driver for my Ethernet adapter but received the message "cannot find any inf files".
                    Another member here mentioned this could be due to a bad CD-ROM drive. Is there any way to tell before installing again so I don't encounter this same issue? And is it it necessary to back up anything other than personal files, such as drivers?

                    You can delete them but if you do a complete reformat, they will be removed.

                    If you're installing a new OS, all the necessary drivers will be installed.

                          SuperDave -

                          My PC is running fairly well now, however I ran ComboFix again and it said it detected the same rootkit activity. Is this normal?


                          I am going to keep this OS for now as well as it is running smoother.
                          Can you assist me with resting my configurations etc.? My Malwarebytes' won't autostart, and I am still getting a recovery console boot screen that I would like to remove if possible.

                          The free version won't autostart. You have to initiate the scans yourself. Only the paid version if full-time protection.

                            When I first downloaded ComboFix, it asked to install a recovery console which added an extra screen at startup that appears for 2 seconds, then continues to boot normally.


                            Also, I have a boot.bak file in my C:\ drive folder which wasn't there before. Is it necessary, and how do I get rid of it?

                            however I ran ComboFix again and it said it detected the same rootkit activity.
                            There is no sign of rootkit activity in any of the scans we did.

                            it asked to install a recovery console which added an extra screen at startup that appears for 2 seconds,
                            This is the way it's supposed to work. It's there to allow you to use the Recovery Console to make repairs to your computer. If you have your OS disk, you can remove the Recovery Console by following these instructions.

                            I have a boot.bak file in my C:\ drive folder which wasn't there before
                            I don't see it in the ComboFix log. Perhaps this scan will find it.

                            Download DDS from HERE or HERE and save it to your desktop.

                            Vista users right click on dds and select Run as administrator (you will receive a UAC prompt, please allow it)

                            * XP users Double click on dds to run it.
                            * If your antivirus or firewall try to block DDS then please allow it to run.
                            * When finished DDS will open two (2) logs.

                            2) Attach.txt

                            * Save both logs to your desktop.
                            * Please copy and paste the entire contents of both logs in your next reply.

                            Note: DDS will instruct you to post the Attach.txt log as an attachment.

                              I have tried to do the steps for removing Recovery Console without any luck.

                              I tried attach a screenshot for you to see the object  boot.bak but the file was too large.

                              I can't see anything amiss in the logs.

                              Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
                              Dr WebCureIt
                              • Double-click the launch.exe or cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
                              • This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
                              • Once the short scan has finished, just let it cure whatever it finds...

                                o Now, go to Settings >> Change Settings
                                o Go to Actions tab >> under Objects section, change the settings to below
                                Infected objects - Cure
                                Incurable objects - Report
                                Suspicious objects - Report
                                o Don't change any other settings
                              • Start the scan again. This time, choose Complete Scan
                              • Click the green arrow button at the right, and the scan will start.
                              • After the scan finished, click Select all
                              • Click on Cure and choose Report incurable (means take no actions.. Don't "move", or "rename" or "delete")
                              • When the scan has finished, in the menu, click File and choose Save report list
                              • Save the report to your Desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
                              • Post DrWeb.csv in your next reply (Open it as Notepad).. Do NOT reboot the computer yet..

                                  Darn! I even tried it before I posted it and it worked.

                                  I'd like to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

                                  •Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
                                  ESET OnlineScan
                                  •Click the button.
                                  •For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
                                  • Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
                                  • Double click on the icon on your desktop.
                                  •Check
                                  •Click the button.
                                  •Accept any security warnings from your browser.
                                  •Check
                                  •Push the Start button.
                                  •ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
                                  •When the scan completes, push
                                  •Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
                                  •Push the button.

                                    Yes. Any program on your desktop can just be deleted.
                                    I would prefer that you use the ESET on-line scan as it is better because it's working from the outside.
                                    It has come to my attention that you are currently seeking help at GeekPolice.net in this thread for the same computer and the same problem. This is not a very effective way to have your computer cleaned because I have no idea which tools the other helper told you to run and he has no idea which ones I asked you to use with possible disasterous results. This is one of the unwritten rules in malware cleaning.

                                      My apologies. My intentions were to get assistance ASAP as I posted both threads around the same time.
                                      On the other forum I only posted logs from the scans that you had initially requested. I did not perform any other tasks other than what you requested in this thread other than running ComboFix a second time which I mentioned to you earlier.


                                      I ran the ESET Online scanner which came up with 0 infected files.

                                      You really should advise Belahzur that you're finished with the thread on GeekPolice.net.
