    really strange virus
    « on: February 24, 2009, 01:59:40 PM »
    never seen anything like this before and i have no idea how to fix it.

    there is some sort of virus on the system, it's blocked the task manager, user account menus, properties tab and pretty much everything an admin account should be able to do. i have ran every piece of anti virus and anti spyware programme i can get my hands on both in safe mode and out of safe mode but it just wont go away. if it helps the virus has changed my desktop background to a "warning" page saying i have been infected by spyware and viruses and i get a false windows security warning in the system tray. now unfortunately reformatting the drive isn't really an option as this is a business laptop and it contains files and information vital to the running of the company it belongs to and they can't be lost. does anyone have any ideas?

    thanks in advance

          Click Start > Run and copy and paste (or type) the following line into the run box: Be sure to include the space.

          regsvr32 urlmon.dll


          Press OK
          Once it is completed you will get this message DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded, repeat the above steps, but replace regsvr32 urlmon.dll with the following: (enter each line one at a time selecting OK after each)

          • regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
          • regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
          • regsvr32 mshtml.dll
          • regsvr32 browseui.dll
          • regsvr32 jscript.dll
          • regsvr32 vbscript.dll
          • regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
          .
          When finished restart your computer.

          Can you connect now?

            Can you restart in Safe Mode With Networking and get online?

            Also try this.

            Click Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices.

            * Scroll down to Non-plug and Play Drivers and click the plus icon to open those drivers.
            * Search for any of the following:

            - Seneka.sys
            - clbdriver.sys
            - TDSSserv.sys

            * Let me know if you find them or not.
            * If you do find it, right click on it, and select Disable. Do not try to uninstall them.
            * Now reboot and see if you can go online.

              Reset WINSOCK entries
              Reset TCP/IP stack

              Go Start > Run (Start search in Vista) then type in: cmd

              Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

              At the Command Prompt, type in:

              netsh winsock reset catalog

              On the keyboard press Enter.

              Do that again and type in:

              netsh int ip reset reset.log

              Press Enter.

              Restart the computer.

              Note: Resetting the Winsock using netsh winsock reset catalog command in SP2 removes all  the third-party LSPs and restores Winsock to factory default setting. Existing programs that uses their own LSPs need to be reinstalled again. Example: Google Desktop Search.

              ----------

              Go Start > Run (Start search in Vista) and type in: cmd

              Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

              In the Command Prompt window type in following commands, and press Enter after each one:

              ipconfig /flushdns
              ipconfig /registerdns
              ipconfig /release
              ipconfig /renew


              Note the space before the forward slash /

              Restart the computer.

              At  this point, I would get an external 2.5" drive case and install that laptops hard drive into that and then from a system running an up to date antivirus scan that drive to clean it out of malware, and you can also access the unique business data that you desperately need.

              The 2nd computer that scans this drive may be able to remove the virus or malware and you could then pop the drive out of the external hard drive case and install it back into the laptop and maybe be home free if the registry is not swiss cheesed from the virus(s).

              If swiss cheesed, then get all vital data off the drive is you havent already done so, then full clean rebuild from an OEM CD or DVD that came with the laptop.

                    Looks good.

                    How is the computer running now?

                    Your Java is out of date.

                    Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to infect your system.

                    First install the new Sun Java Runtime Environment

                    Be sure to close all browser windows before beginning the install.

                    Remove the old version(s)

                    Download JavaRa
                    • Unzip the file and open the JavaRa.exe
                    • Click Remove Older Versions
                    • JavaRa will search for and remove any outdated version of Java and remove any that are found.
                    • Click Additional Tasks
                    • Place a check next to Remove Useless JRE Files and click Go
                    • Exit JavaRa
                    • Delete the JavaRa files from the Desktop
                    .
                    Additional Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and reboot your computer.

                      Sounds good.

                      Let's clear out the programs we've been using to clean up your computer, they are not suitable for general malware removal and could cause damage if launched accidentally. These steps will also help secure the work you have done.
                      .
                      • Click START then RUN
                      • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
                      • Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
                      • Then hit Enter.
                      .
                      .
                      The above procedure will:
                      • Delete:
                        • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
                        • VundoFix backups, if present
                        • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
                        • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
                        • Reset the clock settings.
                        • Hide file extensions, if required.
                        • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
                        • Set a new, clean Restore Point.
                        .
                        ----------

                        Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
                        • Click Start Now
                        • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
                        • Click Start
                        • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
                        • Update anything listed.
                        .
                        ----------

                        Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

                        ----------

                        Here are some great FREE tools to help you keep from getting infected again. These tools use little or no resources so won't slow down your PC.

                        I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.
