    Rootkit Safety Question
    « on: March 02, 2009, 12:17:06 PM »
    So I very stupidly and accidentally downloaded a rootkit and my comps a mess. I tried this removal kit thing that some university put online to help get rid of it, but it didn't really work. I don't even want my comp anymore, but my music and photos and personal files are on there. My question is is it safe to transfer my files to an external hard drive with the rootkit still on my comp or will it infect the external hardrive as well? Are the files infected? Do I need to get rid of the rootkit first? PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    How do you know it's a rootkit?

    Rootkits very seldom come alone. There is usually some other form of malware along with them so it's best to either wipe the drive or clean it. We can help with the cleaning and you won't loose anything.

    Just need to work with me and we will get it taken care of. First we need to find it.

    Download Rooter.exe to your desktop

    * Double click Rooter.exe to start the tool.
    * A DOS window will appear and show the scan progress.
    * Once complete a notepad file containing the report will open.
    * Copy & paste the results in your next reply.
    * Close notepad and Rooter will close.

    A log will also save at %systemdrive%\Rooter.txt (Where %systemdrive% is usually C: or the drive that you have Windows installed).

    ----------

    Download TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT) to the Desktop.

    • Double-click on HJTInstall.
    • Click on the Install button.
    • It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
    • Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
    • HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
    • Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
    • Do not have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

      Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

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

      • R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.newfirstpage.com/?cm=612470<=1&it=2008-10-17%2020%3A26%3A25&dt=2008-11-02%2014%3A44%3A46&q=http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=msnhome
      • O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdwsb.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdwsb.exe
      • O20 - AppInit_DLLs: kcjxib.dll mxzdbw.dll
      .
      Important: Close all open windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

      Once completed, exit HijackThis.

      ----------

      Locate fixme.reg on your Desktop and double-click it. Answer Yes when prompted to merge with the Registry.

      Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it did not work.

      Delete the fixme.reg from the Desktop.

          A lot faster, does that mean it's clean? Can I delete those programs I downloaded for this?

          Delete this folder > C:\Rooter$

          • 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.

            ----------

            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.
