-
what is VundoFix anyways? And why the funky name?
just curios..............
-
Vundo is a variant of a Trojan Horse.
Vundofix, searches for the vundo infections and fixes any that are found.
-
okay......so VundoFix didn't find any issues, therefore I have no log.
But I do have a ComboFix log and another hjt log.
cheers.......

Tough log....... All a of the Lenovo and IBM entries look like malware so it is taking me a while.
For now, do you know this IP? 192.168.0.1

wow... ok. i am aware that 192.168.0.1 is the default gateway/dns protocol address for most cable modems and wireless routers. I am communicating with you on the IBM, and the default gateway address is not 192.168.0.1.
However, a few months ago, my client was in another state and recalls using the 192.168.0.1 as dns, but doesn't remember the ip address.
Why do you ask? Is this a problem? I am anxious to learn why you think all the lenovo and ibm software is malware?
interesting..........If you require more info, just let me know, I'll be happy to investigate.
-
192.168.0.1 is the DLink router setup page. (thanks Broni)
65.24.7.3 and 65.24.7.6 must be your ISP.
I am anxious to learn why you think all the lenovo and ibm software is malware?
No I don't think it is malware, I meant it looks like malware. A lot of the dlls and .sys files have strange almost cryptic names like ar5211.sys or tphklock.dll. Many times when there are a lot of file names like that they will be either malicious files, or left overs from cleaned malware. I hadn't seen most of them before so it took me a while to figure them all out.
-
here is the combo log.
how did you end up figuring them out? :)
yes, 65.24.7.3 and 65.24.7.6 is the ISP that she is using.

That was going to be the next move. I try not to send people into the registry unless necessary. I forget you are a Tech. so we probably should have done this sooner.
You may not find all of them, but they need to be checked anyway.
---------------
Go to My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View tab:
- Under the Hidden files and folders heading:
- Select Show hidden files and folders.
- Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
- Also, make sure there is no checkmark beside Hide file extensions for known file types.
- Click OK
---------------
Follow these steps to create a backup of the registry.
- Click the Start button, then click Run. The Run window opens.
- Type REGEDIT, then click OK. The Registry Editor opens.
- Choose Registry, Export Registry File.
- Verify the following entries in the Export Registry File Dialog Box:
- Save in: Desktop
- File Name: Registry Backup
- Export Range: All
- Click Save.
- Exit the Registry Editor.
- Verify you have an icon titled REGISTRY BACKUP.REG on the Desktop.
CAUTION:
Do not double-click the REGISTRY BACKUP.REG file on your Desktop unless you intend to undo your changes. Immediately verify the effect of your changes. When you have verified that the changes to the registry produce the desired result, delete the REGISTRY BACKUP.REG file from the desktop, otherwise restore it immediately.
Do not allow the REGISTRY BACKUP.REG file to remain on the desktop beyond the testing period to avoid inadvertently double-clicking it.
Delete the registry backup after an hour or so of normal computer functions
---------------
Look for these File, Folders and Registry keys.
Folder::
C:\WINDOWS\i34yuc387
File::
C:\WINDOWS\awcofznA.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\brainiak\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\rayiou.exe
C:\Program Files\?ppPatch\?serinit.exe
C:\Program Files\WinPop\winpop.exe
Registry::
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\awcofznA
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Fkgswssg
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\i34yuc387
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\SfKg6w
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Umvjiuyd
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\WinPop
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\WinTouch
Let me know how it went.
-
ok, now i'm confused.... No luck... none of those files are in the registry. How can that be? Why would the program (hi jack this) tell us that there are files in the computer that we are unable to find? unless the program itself is corrupted. Could that be a possibilty or am I way off.. By the way......I don't even know what program produced those results. I just assumed it was hi jack this.
Sorry if it sounds like i'm a geek-a-zoid, but I enjoy stuff like this.
What do we tackle next?
.........your turn............ :)

We will run a more thorough scanner. This one is like HijackThis but on steroids ;D
Post these logs directly into the next reply without attaching them. It may take two posts to get all of the text in but that is OK.
Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) (http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/index.php?automodule=downloads&req=download&code=confirm_download&id=19) to your Desktop. Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.
- Close all applications and windows.
- Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
- When the scan is complete, two text files will open -
- main.txt <- this one will be maximized
- and extra.txt <-this one will be minimized
- Add the contents of main.txt in your post.
- Please also add extra.txt to your post.
What DSS will do:
- Create a new System Restore point in Windows XP and Vista.
- Clean your Temporary Files, Downloaded Program Files, and Internet Cache Files, and also empty the Recycle Bin on all drives.
- Check some important areas of your system and produce a report for your analyst to review. DSS automatically runs HijackThis for you, but it will also install and place a shortcut to HijackThis on your desktop if you do not already have HijackThis installed.
- The text from these files may exceed the maximum post length for this forum, and may need to be sent over 2 or more posts. Please ensure all text is posted.

The windows exe file was in the Deckards log. I don't understand why all of this stuff is logged but not found.
Do the F Secure scan for sure, it is a good scanner so should find and delete anything there.

If you like that one, you should try to download CleanUp! again. It has a few custom settings to it.
Both are very powerful little programs!

Try this - Direct download link.
http://stevengould.org/downloads/cleanup/CleanUp452.exe

i'm still having problems downloading cleanUp452.exe. The website does offer the file in zip form, but the program is ver. 4.0. Maybe i'll try downloading the zip and check for updates.
still scanning..............

Odd, I have no problems with downloading the installation package.
-
Odd, I have no problems with downloading the installation package.
I just tried it and I also didn't have any problems.
I hope you don't mind me butting in for a second, but I noticed what appears to be a PurityScan infection. It often disguises itself as legitimate files already existing on the computer, so it's important to determine which is the correct one to delete. Because AppPatch normally isn't in Program Files, we shouldn't have to worry about mistaken identity. However, the question mark in the file path might be confusing ComboFix and The Avenger. It's just a theory and I could be wrong, but it's possible that this is getting in the way of removing the files.
solotekk,
Copy everything inside the quote box below (starting with dir) and paste it into Notepad. Go up to File > Save As... and click the drop-down box to change the "Save As Type" to "All Files". Save it as findfile.bat on your Desktop.
dir C:\Program Files\?ppPatch /a h > files.txt
notepad files.txt
Locate findfile.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it. It will open Notepad with some text in it. Please post the contents of that Notepad file here. If this doesn't work and the Notepad file is blank, then manually navigate to C:\Program Files and look for the ?ppPatch folder. Look carefully because the ? is a wildcard, which means it can represent any letter. In this case, I would expect it to be an A, but that's not guaranteed. When you find the folder, please let us know the actual name of it and what files are inside of it. Do not open any files that may be contained within this folder! Only make note of the filenames!
-
Thanks Chris.
Good to see you posting again!!!
-
It feels good to be posting again. I hated having to neglect the forum for so long, but I've been incredibly busy with life. Things have calmed down for now, though, so I'm trying to post a bit more. I've even been able to get some reading done!
-
ok... so i did everything that chris instructed, but when i opened notepad from the desktop, of course it was blank. So i went on a search, and there is no folder named ?ppatch (or wildcard) of the sort. And all files are visible: which means no files or folders are being hidden. Could someone please give me more info on just what a Purityscan is? This is the first time that I am hearing of this.
P.S. Chris, thanks for your input. Your help is appreciated as well as Evilfantasy's.

Purity scan/clickspring http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-090516-2325-99
Is the scan stuck on a file or what? This seems like an enormous amount of time.
-
i'm at 30 percent right now. i had to restart the scan again, due to a crappy wireless signal seven hours ago. However, I have managed to find a spot that seems to be keeping a good solid signal. When I began the scan the first time, i noticed some slowness at the 19 percent mark. Plus, it stayed that way for about 35 minutes until i lost the signal.
Please be patient.............besides, i cant fall asleep now anyways..............
thanks

I am leaning toward a false positive on that file.
Is this or was this a company machine that would have has monitoring software installed to ensure the user was doing their job?
C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus\plugins\plugin.tar.gz
http://www.nessus.org/nessus/
-
the drweb cureit link is blank.
is there an alternative method?
-
I am having the worst time with links lately.
Use this direct download. ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/cureit.exe
-
Is this or was this a company machine that would have has monitoring software installed to ensure the user was doing their job?
No, but my client did have another person working on this before I was hired. I'm not sure exactly what that person did either, (installed,uninstalled, or repaired.)
Why do you ask?
-
Nessus is some sort of security software. It could have been corrupted by virus but I am leaning toward a false positive. I didn't read much on the web site so I am not clear on exactly what type of security it is. Antivirus reports what it sees as suspicious. Therefore if some sort of legitimate monitoring software is put on a computer the AV will report it because of the way it works is not normal to other programs.
And if it were company software I wouldn't want to see you take it out and possibly jeopardize your clients standing with the company. But if it is a personla computer and not known what it is or why it's there.........
It is your call on that one. It is at C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus\plugins\plugin.tar.gz
There may be an uninstaller in there or in add/remove programs.
-
ok, I looked in both places, and am unable to find an uninstaller...hmmm......
Any suggestions?
thanks...

Other than that everything looks fine.
Go to Start > Run and copy and paste next command in the field:

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
Then hit Enter.
This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again
