    Malware attack of the 'System Tools'
    « on: March 31, 2011, 07:37:15 PM »
    I've been working intermittently over a month trying to eliminate/document a virus/malware attack on home PC running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.  I mistakenly clicked what I thought were McAfee popups, but weren't McAfee.  The PC now functions in Safe Mode, but locks up early in about any direction I want to go after typical boot & usual desktop display- if I get that far:  no printer access in safe mode, no internet, etc.  Trying to do anything outside of Safe Mode is nearly impossible.  All inserted logs were typed on second computer as can't print or email them and am concerned re putting them on disc or flashdrive & possibly infecting next computer.

    There is a possible Recovery(ies) save on disc(s), but would like to attempt that as last resort as subsequent stuff would be lost.  Before reading evilfantasy's post of 11/9/07 'Computer Hope Virus and Spyware section Guidelines', I read another post on the same topic in Computer Hope and mistakenly followed it, believing it would fix my PC.  I installed/ran ARO 2011 up to the point that they wanted to get paid for more sw/services.  That enabled functionality for approx 2 wks, but eventually a couple of "blue screens of death" & errant lock-ups led to consistent problems getting past the start-up mode in a typical reboot.  ARO prompts to "Keep these errors", "Fix Them Free", or "Buy Now".  "Fix Them Free" entails buying something else from a selection of other vendors and goods.    Following is an attempt to provide you the information you request in sequence evilfantasy delineated:

    I have anti-virus/security suite installed that comes with 'AT&T Internet Security Suite Powered by McAfee'.  At the beginning of this it showed "Real Time Scanning:  On"  "Updates: Current", "Firewall: On", and "Subscription" Active".  I can reach nothing that tells me version or further details.  Now- there's an omnipresent display of AT&T/McAfee pop-up of "Your computer is at risk" and "Real Time Scanning is Off".  But, in attempting to engage Real-Time Scanning, it momentarily flashes on (green indications), then back off (red indications).

    There was nothing noteworthy I recall or have in notes regarding Add or Remove Programs.  I know I sifted thru the listings per the sequence request.

    3/8- CCleanerSlim installed and ran.  No cookies deleted- none I wanted to delete.


    3/8- SUPERAntiSpyware installed and ran.  Log copied & pasted:

    I tried running the 'Self-Help:  Using the Computer Hope HiJack This process Tool'.  I have a couple of problems:
    1) Some Processes are not "recognized"(?), because I may have "word-wrap
    ' on?  Again, I'm concerned about infecting a 2nd computer by copying the logs (IF I could), and therefore have tried to retype what I see including the spacing (apparently somewhat unsucessfully).
    2) Because my Vista is a 64bit OS, I shouldn't trust the Tool anyway?
    3) Given both these factors, I should trust the 'Getting your system clean' sequence?

    Thanks for any advice you can offer.  I've read a success story or two or three regarding malware on this section of Computer Hope.  But, it would be fair to say I'm not brimming with confidence re my personal judgement and experience on this topic.  Thank you.

    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.
    *************************************************************
    Registry cleaners are extremely powerful applications and their potential for harming your OS far outweighs any small potential for improving your computer's performance.
    ARO 2011
    There are a number of them available and some are more safe than others. Keep in mind that no two registry cleaners work entirely the same way. Each vendor uses different criteria as to what constitutes a "bad" entry. One cleaner may find entries on your system that will not cause a problem when removed, another may not find the same entries, and still another may want to remove entries required for a program to work. Without research into what the registry entry selected for deletion is, a registry cleaner can end up being an automated method to cause problems with the registry.

    For routine use by those not familiar with the registry, the benefits to your computer are negligible while the potential risks are great.

      Thank you very much for you assistance.  I have a question:

      "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."

      Do I understand that given the lack of internet access on the infected computer, by using CD-RW as the preferred method of log transfer (versus USB drive) to my uninfected second computer, I should not infect the second computer in transferring the logs?  If the log transfer has to take place by USB storage device, that's theoretically safe if the described down-shift-key is followed?  Just confirming I'm risking a second PC or not.

      For instance, the 'Security Check by screen 317' log display is not lengthy to type-out, if that's acceptable.   Please.  Thanks.

        Please download the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader from Adobe.com

        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.
        ******************************************************
        C:\Program Files\BigFix should not be in your startup because it's a resource hog.

        You can uninstall Java(TM) 6 Update 5

        Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links.  Be sure to save it to the Desktop.

        link # 1
        Link # 2
        If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:

        * Tools->Options->Main tab
        * Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".

        Close any open web browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

        Temporarily disable your anti-virus, and any anti-spyware 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.

        Right-click combofix.exe and select Run as Administrator and follow the prompts.
        When finished, ComboFix will produce a log for you.
        Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

        NOTE: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

        Remember to re-enable your anti-virus and anti-spyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

          Dave:

          Thanks for your efforts.  I lost second PC last night to what visually was a quick bombardment of unwanted "virus files" before I turned it off.  There were approximately four listed in red and I recall one being labeled a Trojan before I turned the PC off.  I had used it earlier to receive log files from infected PC, following instructions of, " 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."

          While naturally concerned, I can imagine the unwanted attack could be attributable to being on internet, with less quality virus protection than I believe recommended (Microsoft Defense, or something like that, versus McAfee or Symantec).  Given the testimonials I read of your prowess, I'd like to believe bad coincidence.  Again, no vast experience with these problems until about a month ago & now acquiring all I could want.       

          Bottom line is I can burn CDs at work for your latest recommendations (Acrobat Reader & ComboFix), but I'm going to have to type logs or we'll be doing without them until 2nd PC is back (can't risk/juggle only other choice of job PC).  I interpret "prefer the actual log" to be reluctantly receptive of my typing unless I hear correction.

          Please try this. Re-boot in Safe Mode and run a full scan with MBAM. Then, re-boot in Normal mode and again, run a full scan with MBAM. Just let me know if there's any change in your computer.
