Win32: Lmir - PG {RTK}

[chriscool9]

Hey guys,
Basically I haven't been on my laptop for a good few days, and suddenly I get a message from my Avast! that basically tells me that I am infected with, Win32: Lmir - PG {RTK} (http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/2972/virusgb4.jpg). I haven't downloaded anything recently (bar a few MP3's using Frostwire), or not to my knowledge so it's a comeplete mystery as to how its got into my laptop.
As for the virus I told Avast! to move it to the virus vault, and that is where it is currently hiding. Im running XP SP2, with Avast! for my anti virus. As for a firewall i just use the one built into the router.
I have posted a HJT log for you to save time, just to see if it is still hiding somewhere.
Also I know I should get the password's changed immediately, but what's the point if the virus is still on my laptop?!
Thanks alot guys

Chris

I'll take a look...

[Broni]

First off all, you shouldn't rely on your router firewall only. It's not safe.
I recommend, you install, free Comodo firewall:
http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

Secondly, your HJT log is NOT clean. You have some infection(s).

1. Print this post out, since you won't have an access to it, at some point.

2. Download, and install Spybot (if you don't have it) from here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

3. Close all windows, except for HJT.

4. Put a checkmark next to following HJT entries:

- O1 - Hosts: 65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

- O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

- O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [] "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\csrss.exe"

5. Click on "Fix It" button.

6. Restart your computer in Safe Mode (F8)

7. Run Spybot (click on updates, first), and fix whatever it asks you to fix.

8. Open Windows Explorer. Go Tools>Folder Options, put a checkmark next to "Show hidden files, and folders".

9. Delete following files (if they still exist):

- csrss.exe from C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\

10. Turn off System Restore.

11. Restart in Normal Mode.

12. Turn System Restore on.

13. Run HJT again, and post back its log back here.

Things just got a whole lot worse....
I did what you told me to and then when I rebooted into Windows it just locks itself up. It takes forever to load up, and then after 2 minuites it becomes completely unresponsive. I am writing this in Safemode which seems pretty much ok, but my Ubuntu also is having serious problems.
I really have no idea what to do, so anyhelp would be appreciated
Thanks

Chris

[chriscool9]

Ok so after a bit more analysis it appears the laptop doesn't lock up but it's the Keyboard and Touch pad that both come unresponsive. Ive also tried a USB mouse but that still doesn't work. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Chris

[Broni]

I apologize for no reply, but my computer was down. Please post new HJT log.

[evilfantasy]

Is the computer still booting up wrong?

9. Delete following files (if they still exist):

- csrss.exe from C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\

Process File:  csrss.exe or csrss
Process Name: Microsoft Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem
csrss.exe is the main executable for the Microsoft Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem. This process manages most graphical commands in Windows. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

10. Turn off System Restore.

11. Restart in Normal Mode.

12. Turn System Restore on.

You had the user remove a possibly critical windows component, then wipe the restore points before knowing the system was stable.

Things just got a whole lot worse....
I did what you told me to and then when I rebooted into Windows it just locks itself up.

An infected Restore Point is better then NO restore point.

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris'\My Documents\My Downloads\HijackThis.exe
There should be a backup of everything removed in that folder. If needed you can restore the items removed and hopefully get back what is needed.

Do you have your XP CD?

If so You should attempt a repair install. Instructions here: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Note: A Repair Install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used for the Repair Install. It will leave your applications and settings intact, but Windows updates will need to be reapplied.

A Repair Install will replace files altered by adware and malware, but will not fix an adware, malware problem. (if there)

I don't know why you're often acting like you know everything better, but you are obviously wrong on this one.

The legitimate csrss.exe process is always located in the System (9x/Me) or System32 (NT/2K/XP)

Not in Program Files\Internet Explorer!

That O4 entry should remain removed!

Your problem lies somewhere else, and we'll have to find where.
