Title: Malware removal Sanity Check
Post by: D12 on May 04, 2011, 09:33:59 PM
Hello,

My computer OS is Vista and it was working normally until yesterday.  We started receiving pop-ups that appeared suspicious.  They were prompting us to download and purchase software protection to ward off viruses.  It is possible that I inadvertantly allowed this to load as I was attemtping to move beyond the pop-up by closing it and clicked incorrectly - trying to get rid of the pesky pop-up.  After this many programs would not start up and IE would no longer execute.  Every attempt to execute a program would push me to the 'open with' window with the only option of IE available.  Most all the program links were broken/gone - I didn't try but a few, or enough to know we had a problem.  There were some updates from MS that were not installed due to install failures a few months back that I didn't address immediately.
Anyhow, I have performed the steps provided for the removal process and I'm happy to report that IE is working properly at this time.  There were malware infections found and they 'appear' to be cleaned up.
I'm including my logs and would appreciate a sanity check along with any suggestions or comments.

Thank you so much for any help you are able to provide!
Melissa

Post by: SuperDave on May 05, 2011, 11:29:21 AM
Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

Post by: SuperDave on May 05, 2011, 05:07:38 PM
Please download the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader from Adobe.com (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)

Before installing: it is important to remove older versions of Acrobat Reader since it does not do so automatically and old versions still leave you vulnerable.
Go to the Control Panel and enter Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Vista/7).
Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Uninstall/Remove each of them.

Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.

Hi Dave,

I've successfully uninstalled Adobe with the exception of version 9.1.3.  I keep getting a pop up from the Windows Installer stating; "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." 
Any ideas on getting around this to complete the uninstall?  Once I get this completed I will resume where I left off.

Many thanks - Melissa

Uninstall everything and see if you still get that error.

I apologize.  I had a registry error with the windows installer that I needed to resolve - successfully done using (fix it for me) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971187

I was finally able to uninstall Adobe and now have the current version installed.

The following is the log from SysProt Antirootkit

Thank you for all your help it is truly appreciated...

That looks good. If there are no other issues, let's do some cleanup. You can remove any other tools that are left on your computer.

To uninstall ComboFix

(http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp322/digistar/Combofix_uninstall_image.jpg)

(Note: Make sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)

*************************************************
Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

Download TFC by OldTimer (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe) 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.
**************************************************
Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

Remember only install ONE firewall

1) Comodo Personal Firewall (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Comodo_Personal_Firewall_d5033.html) (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
2) Online Armor (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Online_Armor_Free_d4872.html)
3) Agnitum Outpost (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Outpost_Firewall_Free_d1056.html)
4) PC Tools Firewall Plus (http://www.majorgeeks.com/PC_Tools_Firewall_Plus_d5470.html)

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.
************************************************
Use the Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/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 (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and get all critical updates.

----------

I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust (http://www.mywot.com/). 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.
