    Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3

    Excessive disk thrashing led me to investigate the cause. Several scans of various online and installed tools turned up nothing but tracking cookies.  So I started uploading the running processes to virustotal using their uploader. The results for ctfmon.exe. and lsass.exe were returned as Win32.Banker from eSafe.  I then uploaded C:\Windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys. eSafe returned a result of Win32.Rootkit. 

    I ran GMER and got this dialog box;
    "GMER has found system modification, which might have been caused by ROOTKIT activity."

    listed in red in the initial scan;
    "Service c:\documents (***hidden***) [AUTO] STacSV "

    Several scan attempts ended with BSODs before finally finishing in safe mode. Winlogon.exe maxed out one cpu core for most of the time during the scans. The resulting scan was copied to a txt file. Doesn't look good.

    "GMER has found system modification caused by ROOTKIT activity."

    I've change my financial info from a secure computer fearing the worst. I feel this repair is way above my DIY skill set. I prefer not to format/clean install. Hopefully this can be repaired.

    Waiting patiently for directions from the experts.  Thank you for your time!

      It appears as if you may have not pasted your full HijackThis log into this tool. You should be copying the complete log file from the beginning "Log of" line to the ending "End of file" line. In the log file try pressing "Ctrl + A" to select all text and then copy and paste that text into this tool. Having an incomplete log may mean that not all processes and potential threats will be listed.

        Hello GregoryB.

        A corrupted .DLL file is disrupting the LSP chain on your computer. We need to get rid of it.

        * Please download LSPFix
        * Run the LSPFix.exe that you have just finished downloading.
        * Check the I know what I'm doing box.
        * In the Keep box you should see one or more instances of mdnsnsp.dll
        * Select every instance of mdnsnsp.dll and move each one to the Remove box by clicking the >> button.
        * If the mdnsnsp.dll file only appears on the right side then just click fix checked and close the program.
        * When you are done click Finish>>

        ----------

        If you already have ComboFix be sure to delete it and download a new copy.

        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.
        Vista users Right-Click on ComboFix.exe and select Run as administrator (you will receive a UAC prompt, please allow it)
        When finished ComboFix will produce a log for you.
        Post the ComboFix 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.

        If you have problems with ComboFix usage, see How to use ComboFix

          Please go to Jotti's malware scan
          (If more than one file needs scanned they must be done separately and logs posted for each one)

          * Copy the file path in the below Code box:
          Code: [Select]
          c:\windows\system32\drivers\TCPIP.SYS* At the upload site, click once inside the window next to Browse.
          * Press Ctrl+V on the keyboard (both at the same time) to paste the file path into the window.
          * Next click Submit file
          * Your file will possibly be entered into a queue which normally takes less than a minute to clear.
          * This will perform a scan across multiple different virus scanning engines.
          * Important: Wait for all of the scanning engines to complete.
          * Once the scan is finished, Copy and then Paste the link in the address bar into your next reply.

          Also scan this file and post the link to the results.

          Code: [Select]
          c:\windows\system32\dllcache\TCPIP.SYS
          ----------

          * Download the following tool: RootRepeal - Rootkit Detector
          * Direct download link is here: RootRepeal.zip

          * Close all programs and temporarily disable your anti-virus, Firewall and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan.
          * Click this link to see a list of such programs and how to disable them.

          * Extract the program file to a new folder such as C:\RootRepeal
          * Run the program RootRepeal.exe and go to the REPORT tab and click on the Scan button.
          * Select ALL of the checkboxes and then click OK and it will start scanning your system.
          * If you have multiple drives you only need to check the C: drive or the one Windows is installed on.
          * When done, click on Save Report
          * Save it to the same location where you ran it from, such as C:RootRepeal
          * Save it as rootrepeal.txt
          * Then open that log and select all and copy/paste it back on your next reply please.
          * Close RootRepeal.

          How is the computer running now?

            seems to be ok.  Am I to take that the results from eSafe for atapi.sys, cftmon.exe and lsass.exe are false positives?

            From what I can see the computer is clean but we can do a final scan to be sure.

            First...

            * Click START then RUN - Vista users press the Windows Key and the R keys for the Run box.
            * Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox
            * Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /Uninstall
            * Then hit Enter

            * The above procedure will:
            * Delete the following:
            * ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
            * Reset the clock settings.
            * Hide file extensions, if required.
            * Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
            * Set a new, clean Restore Point.

            ----------

            Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

            Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

            Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

            Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

            TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

            * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
            * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. 
            * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

            Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

            ----------

            ESET Online Scan

            Scan your computer with the ESET FREE Online Virus Scan

            * Click the ESET Online Scanner button.

            * For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
            * Click on the esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop
            * Double click on the esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe icon on your desktop.
            * Place a check mark next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.

            * Click the Start button.
            * Accept any security warnings from your browser.
            * Leave the check mark next to Remove found threats and place a check next to Scan archives.
            * Click the Start button.
            * ESET will then download updates, install, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
            * When the scan completes, click List of found threats.
            * Next click Export to text file and save the file to your desktop using a name such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
            * Click the <<Back button then click Finish.

            In your next reply please include the ESET Online Scan Log

              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 recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no realtime protection so will not interfere with each other. They do not use any significant amount of resources (except a little disk space) until you run a scan.

              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.
