    please help ? virus or what?
    « on: October 01, 2008, 06:36:42 AM »
    I recently was on here as I had puter problems. A kind person did every scan possible and checked my logs and I thought everything was ok.

    Since then however I have come on my puter today and everytime I put in a website I am re-directed to another, I can't get on to any website I want and the only reason I can get on this one is cus it was bookmarked.

    I have run an avast scan and it came up with nothing I have also done a trogen and malware scan which came up with one thing but it has not solved the problem.

    I can't download anything not even from avast to update as it redirects to another site. Any advice before I just go and pay for a new puter is appreciated.

    I do have hijack this and c.c. cleaner from when I was asked to download them before.

    Run a HijackThis Scan again and post your findings.

      Just to update you when I did a scan with avast before it kept coming up with some files that could not be scanned, but another of your helpers having checked everything out said that it was ok. However going into avast log I see none of the updates have downloaded since the 28th.

          Thanks for that. I am thinking it may be more than just malware as I just tried to do a system restore to a few days ago when my updates and puter was working normally and when I selected a restore point and clicked next nothing happened.

          So I am thinking unless a genius can sort me out I will need to get a new puter, so anyones help much appreciated.

            Alyoob, please leave the Computer Virus and Spyware section for the Malware Specialists.
            Do not try to diagnose the problem yourself as we have professionals who know exactly what they are doing.

            Would you like to learn to fight Malware?

                BUT that is my whole problem....I can't. When I click to access a site it either comes up as page can't be displayed or it re-directs me to a completely different site. That is why I can't even up date my antivirus as it can't connect to the site cus I guess its been redirected.

                Please print these instructions as they will be needed later when Internet access is not available.
                 
                Download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop. http://rapidshare.com/files/149534018/SDFix.exe.html
                 
                When using this tool, you must use the Administrator's account or an account with Administrative rights
                • Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
                • (this is the drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix).
                • DO NOT use it just yet.
                Reboot your computer in Safe Mode using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode".
                 
                Open the SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
                • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
                • It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
                • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
                • When the PC restarts, the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
                • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
                • Copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt in your next reply along with a new HijackThis log.

                  I can't seem to do system restore and whilst I can get on some sites others come up as can't be displayed. Do you think its my browser? I tried firefox as well but its the same.

                  But my avast was up to date and it did not find anything neither did a trogan scan.

                  I did c.c. clean and got it to fix things on that with a back up.

                  What does this other scan do as I have never had to do safe mode and a bit nervous about doing it.

                  It will fix the problems you are having. I need logs, it is impossible to guess at the multitude of problems without seeing logs.

                    Free user.

                    Just follow the instructions and boot into safe mode then wait for the tool to run.

                      Problem 1. I got safe mode, put the arrow key up to select it, nothing happened so I pressed the return key, got a load of techie jargon that just sat there. So I pressed enter/return again and it gave me options of safe mode / safemode with networking or safe mode with prompt command, keyed up to safe mode again, got the techie jargon and we went round and round in circles, in the end I had to select normal start up to get back in again.

                      Problem 2. I then got a firewall warning that OCR aware (32-bit) was attempting to monitor or intercept system events, what is it and do I allow or block.

                            Will do the scan, but need to know about the firewall warning, was it to do with the thing I just downloaded the first one and if so do I select block?

                            You shouldn't get any warnings from Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, if you do then allow it to run.

                            Blocking things while downloading them sort of defeats the whole process....

                              No i didn't block anything from malwarebytes but I did get a lot of requests from my firewall for access which I allowed.

                              The other pop up came after I tried safe mode and don't know if it was connected with the previous thing you asked me to download or not so I just blocked it anyway.

                              Heres the scan and funnily enough after I ran it avast updated automatically which it hasn't been able to today.

                              You will have to turn off all of your protection to run ComboFix. Directions will be included if you need them.

                              Download HostsXpert
                              • Unzip HostXpert to your Desktop
                              • Open up the HostXpert program.
                              • Make sure that the "Make Hosts Writable?" button in the upper right corner is enabled.
                              • Click Create Back Up
                              • Then click on Restore Microsoft's Host Files
                              • Close the HostXpert program
                              .
                              Note: if you use SpywareBlaster, Spybot and/or IE-SPYAD, it will be necessary to re-install the protection they afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and select Enable all protection. For Spybot run the program and select Immunize. For IE-SPYAD, run the batch file and reinstall the protection.

                              ----------

                              Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop.

                              Link #1
                              Link #2

                              **Note:  It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop

                              Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

                              Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.
                               
                              Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
                              When finished ComboFix will produce a log for you.
                              Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

                              Important: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

                              Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

                                Please keep following all instructions until I give the all clear. Lack of symptoms is not a reliable indication that the malware is gone.

                                              Please read this as well.

                                              I had big probs when I went to do combofix.

                                              I downloaded it and turned off my antivirus.

                                              Then I had a load of 3-4 pop ups from boclean to say I had trogans and they had removed it but to prevent start up I had to get rid of the file as well, so I did this, but I had this the other day as well.

                                              Then the whole system shut down, when it rebooted I did combofix.

                                              THEN I HAD A POP UP TO SAY THAT REGISTRY EDITOR WANTED TO CHANGE THE REGISTRY WHILST COMBOFIX WAS SCANNING SO I CLICKED TO AGREE.

                                              PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

                                              I am. Just calm down. The warnings are from the tools we are using. There is a lot of malware but we are getting close to getting it all now.

                                              Again if you get any warnings while running these next steps DO NOT block them from running.

                                              ----------

                                              Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

                                              Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

                                              - F3 - REG:win.ini: load=
                                              - F3 - REG:win.ini: run=
                                              - O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{3E839371-2795-4956-BB28-8A7ACB106382}: NameServer = 217.72.162.2,217.72.163.3


                                              Important: Close all windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

                                              Exit HijackThis.

                                              ----------

                                              Note: the below instructions were 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

                                              Delete these files/folders, as follows:

                                              1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
                                              It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
                                              2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C

                                              Code: [Select]
                                              KillAll::

                                              Driver::
                                              MCHINJDRV
                                              TDSSSERV
                                              TDSSserv

                                              Folder::
                                              C:\Documents and Settings\Jill\Application Data\RegFixPro

                                              3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
                                              4. Then click File > Save
                                              5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
                                              6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!



                                              ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
                                              After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
                                              Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.

                                              Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze

                                                OK BIGggggggggg problems now.

                                                I did what you said and whilst the notepad thing didn't disappear off the desktop it did make combofix start up.

                                                But it went on for over 4o minutes doing nothing but saying it was scanning so in the end I stopped it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                Didn't know what else to do as before when it scanned it didn't take so long.

                                                What should I do.

                                                Also whenever I have to log in here I have to re-set my password as i won't accept it and then I have to wait to get a new one via email.

                                                  Why is it I have to set a forgot password everytime I get timed out? It won't remember it and says it is invalid when I use the same one everytime.

                                                    OK i did a reset of default settings in tools > internet options and had to reboot.

                                                    Then it wouldn't let me online again so I had to reboot again and then got on.

                                                    But it is giving me messages like choosing options etc, do I have to reset everything?

                                                      You may need to re-install them.

                                                      Did you try this?

                                                      Reset Web Settings & Default Security Settings

                                                      Open IE

                                                      Select Tools, Internet Options, then the Advanced Tab and then the Reset button under Reset Internet Explorer Settings.

                                                        Thats what I did and then it told me to reboot and then I had trouble reconnecting had to reboot again before it connected.

                                                        Now I have other options just as though I am starting with my new browser plus all my saved passwords are gone....hope I remember them  ;D

                                                        Sorry but the browser settings were messed up due to the virus.

                                                        Is everything else running OK now?

                                                          Seems to be ok.

                                                          But can you tell me why this has happened?

                                                          If you remember we went through all this a few weeks bad and you completely sorted me out and I was clean.

                                                          So as I have comodo boclean /avast / firewall / spywareblaster etc why did I have such a lot of trogans?

                                                          You clicked a bad link, or email attachment or downloaded a bad download. I don't know.

                                                            Will my system restore work now, should I try it?

                                                            Also 2 other problems. I clicked on shut down online protection with avast before using that other scan that you instructed. Now I have lost the blue icon in the bottom right tray, how do I get it back should I uninstal and re-instal avast?

                                                              Oh and one other thing, why do I have to keep resetting my password on this site? It keeps saying wrong password when I have to log in when it isn't and I have had to do it 6 times tonight everytime I had to reboot.

                                                              Not sure why. You might need to clear the browser cache.

                                                                 1. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options... .

                                                                 2. Choose the General tab.

                                                                 3. Under Browsing history, click Delete... .

                                                                 4. Next to "Temporary Internet Files", click Delete files... .

                                                                 5. Click Close, and then click OK to exit.


                                                              You might need to re-install anything that has stopped working.

                                                              Disable the System Restore Utility to prevent re-infection from an old one

                                                              1) Right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and click on Properties.
                                                              2) Click on the System Restore tab.
                                                              3) Put a check mark next to Turn off System Restore on All Drives
                                                              4) Click the OK button.
                                                              5) You will be prompted to restart the computer. Click the Yes button.

                                                              Now re-enable System Restore

                                                              To re-enable the System Restore Utility, follow steps one to five and on step three remove the check mark next to 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives'.

                                                              1) Right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and click on Properties.
                                                              2) Click on the System Restore tab.
                                                              3) Remove the check mark next to Turn off System Restore on All Drives
                                                              4) Click the OK button.

                                                                1. Got that pop up again from firewall it says this

                                                                OCR Aware (32-bit) is attempting to monitor and/or intercept system events. This hook monitors messages before the system sends them to the destination window procedure. The hook procedure is associated with all existing threads running in the same desktop as the calling thread.
                                                                Only allow this if you know the application is Safe.


                                                                Do I allow or deny??

                                                                2. When I logged on I got a screen asking me to download IE 7 but I already have 7 do why is it asking me.

                                                                3. I lost my avast icon when I switched off resident protection, do I have to uninstal and reinstal to get it back?

                                                                        I am a bit scared of mucking around with IE so I pray I don't lose the internet with doing it, will feel braver tomorrow.

                                                                        I have also uninstalled avast and will reinstal that and other things tomorrow.

                                                                        Can I just say that if I don't get anymore problems just a BIG thank you for your patience, skill and time.

                                                                        Is it wrong of me to offer to paypal you some money or the site for the profeesional advice, if so give me an email addy to use.

                                                                        If not goodnight and thank you.
