I started getting Spyware Protect 2009 popups and redirects to unwanted websites. MBAM would not run. System restore would not run. After reading a post on this forum I used 'randmbam.exe' and was able to run MBAM. After removing infected files and rebooting MBAM still detects 1 infected file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\uacinit.dll) after several attempts to delete on reboot. After running MBAM I, scanned with HijackThis and RootRepeal. Below are the most recent log files for MBAM, HijackThis, and RootRepeal. Thanks for any help.

1. Download CCleaner by clicking the Latest Version arrow on the right.
http://www.filehippo...leaner/Download

Double-click CC setup file to launch the installer

1. Note: CCleaner installs the Yahoo Toolbar as an option which IS checkmarked by default during the installation. IF you do NOT want it, When the install options are presented, UNCHECK the last install option to "Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar and use CCLeaner from your browser".

Before first use, select Options > Advanced and UNCHECK "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours"

Then select the items you wish to clean up.
In the Windows Tab:

* Clean all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section except Cookies if you want to keep those.
* Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section.
* Clean all entries in the "System" section.
* Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.
* Clean any others that you choose.

In the Applications Tab:

* Clean all except cookies in the Firefox/Mozilla section if you use it.
* Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
* Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
* Clean any others that you choose.

Click the "Run Cleaner" button.
A pop up box will appear advising this process will permanently delete files from your system.
Click "OK" and it will scan and clean your system.
Click "exit" when done.

2. Rename MBAM exe but don't update or run yet:
Rename "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" ->
"C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\newyork.exe"

Right-click the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware desktop shortcut and click "Properties":
In the "target" field replace the path found there with (leave the quotes):
with "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\newyork.exe"

3. Run a RootRepeal hidden file scan on C and wipe rootkit UAC driver if found:


Disable the active protection component (guard) of your antivirus)- this can usually be accomplished by right-clicking your AV's system tray icon, and then selecting the disable feature from the context menu.

Reopen RootRepeal:

• Double-click RootRepeal.exe to launch the program (Vista users should right-click and select "Run as Administrator).
  
• Click the "File" tab (located at the bottom of the RootRepeal screen)
  
• Click the "Scan" button
  
• In the popup dialog, check the drives to be scanned - making sure to check your primary operating system drive - C:
  
• Click OK and the file scan will begin
  
• Click the "Save Report" Button
  
• Save the log file to your Documents folder
  
• After the scan identifies and displays the hidden files present on your system, use your mouse to highlight the the rootkit driver (SYS) file in the Rootrepeal window that has a very long name that begins with with "UAC" and has a SYS file extension with a name the same as, or similar to this:
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\UACqfulhrqhopappet.sys
  
• Next right-click the file noted above (the name may vary but it will begin with "UAC" and be very long), and select the *wipe file* option only.
  
• Post the content of the RootRepeal file scan log in your next reply.

4. Reboot Immediately

5. Launch the renamed MBAM and run quick scan, Clear all infections and save/post log.
Now, relaunch MBAM by double-clicking newyork.exe in the MBAM folder or the desktop shortcut.

• Select the Update tab -> Check for Updates
  
• After MBAM updates, select the Scanner tab.
  
• Select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK -> Show Results to view the scan results.
  
• Check all items found, and then choose the 'Remove Selected' option to move the selected items to the quarantine.
  
• When the scan is done, a log will open in Notepad with the scan results. Please post the results in your next reply.

NOTE: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediately.

8. Please download Combofix from one of these locations:
HERE or HERE

I want you to rename Combofix.exe as you download it to a name of your choice such as berylman

Notes:

• It is very important that save the newly renamed EXE file to your desktop.
  
• You must rename Combofixe.exe as you download it and not after it is on your computer.
  
  You may have to modify your browser settings if you use Firefox, so you can rename Combofix.exe as you download it. To do that:
  • Open Firefox
    
  • Click Tools -> Options -> Main
    
  • Under the downloads section check the button that says "Always ask me where to save files".
    
  • Click OK
  
  
• For Internet Explorer:
  • Choose to save, not open the file
    
  • When prompted - save the file to your desktop, and rename it anything with an .exe extension on the end.

Here is a tutorial that describes how to download, install and run Combofix more thoroughly. Please review it and follow the prompts to install Recovery Console - if you have not done that already:
http://www.bleepingc...to-use-combofix

Very Important! Temporarily disable your antivirus and antimalware real-time protection and any script blocking components of them or your firewall before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix and even remove onboard components so it is rendered ineffective:
http://www.bleepingc...opic114351.html

Also, disable your firewall!
You can enable the Window firewall in the interim, until the scan is complete.

Note: The above tutorial does not tell you to rename Combofix as I have instructed you to do in the above instructions, so make sure you complete the renaming step before launching Combofix.

9. Run Combofix and post back the log.

Running Combofix

In the event you already have Combofix, please delete it as this is a new version.

• Close any open browsers.
  
• Close/disable all anti-virus and anti-malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

1. Double click on the renamed combofix.exe (berylman) & follow the prompts.
2. When finished, it will produce a logfile located at C:\ComboFix.txt
3. Post the contents of that log in your next reply with a new hijackthis log.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to stall/hang. Do not proceed with the rest of the fix if you fail to run combofix.

Please post C:\ComboFix.txt, your new RootRepeal log, and a new MBAM log in your next reply.

[berylman]

I ran Ccleaner and RootRepeal as instructed. Ran MBAM and successfully deleted all items. Updated MBAM and scanned again, and found no infected files. Downloaded ComboFix and saved as BerylFix.exe. Ran BerylFix as instructed. Ran HijackThis. The RootRepeal, MBAM, and ComboFix logs are posted below.

ComboFix caused the system to reboot before producing its log file. Is this normal?

Thanks.

Russell

I wasn't sure if you wanted the RootRepeal log from the run to remove the UAC.sys or another scan after running ComboFix. The following is a report log from a RootRepeal scan AFTER runnning ComboFix.

You're welcome and very good job!

ComboFix caused the system to reboot before producing its log file. Is this normal?

Since it deleted a driver, it's possible that it needed to reboot more than once. The first time to make sure the driver wasn't loaded and the second time to delete it.

Launch HijackThis (HJT)by right-clicking the desktop shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator". Choose the Scan Only option. Close all programs except HJT and all browser windows, then check the following items for removal and click on "Fix Checked":

O1 - Hosts: 94.232.248.66 browser-security.microsoft.com
O1 - Hosts: 94.232.248.66 antivirprotection.com
O1 - Hosts: 94.232.248.66 www.antivirprotection.com

Exit HJT

We have some more files and registry entries to clean up that we will manually specify for deletion by using a Combofix script.

It is important that you follow the next set of instructions precisely.

Open Notepad by hitting Start -> run, typing notepad into the Open: box, and then clicking OK.
On the Notepad menu, choose "Format" and make sure that Word Wrap is unchecked (disabled).
Copy/paste the text in the code box below into Notepad.
Save this to your desktop as CFScript.txt by selecting File -> Save as.

Now, disable your Avira guard and any script blocking programs you may have running - you should re-enable your AV after Combofix produces a log.



Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript.txt into the renamed ComboFix.exe (cartwheel.exe on your desktop)

This will cause ComboFix to run again.

Please post back the log that is opens when it finishes and a new HJT log.

Please upload this file to theVirus Total Scanner by browsing to its folder. Only post report back if threat detections were found:
c:\documents and settings\Russell\Application Data\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_13\lzma.dll

[berylman]

I ran Hijack this, but found no "01 Hosts" entries to fix. Ran the Combofix script as instructed. Uploaded 'lzma.dll' file to Virus Total Scanner and found NO threat detections. The ComboFix and HJT logs are below.

That looks good now - how are things on your end?

I would like you to run a complete system scan with one of the following two scanners (DrWeb or ESET)- directions for both are included below. Expect some detections in Qoobox and system volume information (they will not be active malware so don't worry):

Please perform a scan with the ESET online virus scanner:
http://www.eset.com/...escan/index.php

• ESET recommends disabling your resident antivirus's auto-protection feature before beginning the scan to avoid conflicts and system hangs. Please disable your antivirus's Guard and any antispyware or HIPS programs you are running.
  
• Use Internet Explorer to navigate to the scanner website because you must approve install an ActiveX add-on to complete the scan.
  
• Check the "Yes, I accept the terms of use" box.
  
• Click "Start"
  
• Check the boxes the following two boxes:
  • enable "Remove found threats"
    
  • Scan unwanted applications
• Click the Scan button to begin scanning.
  
• When the scan is done the log is automatically saved. To retrieve it
  • Close the ESET scan Window.
    
  • Now open a run line by clicking Start >> Run...
    
  • Copy/paste "C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt" ino the Open box:
    
  • The Scan results will now display in Notepad
• Please copy and paste the ESET scan report that can be found in this location
  C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt into your next reply

Note to Vista users and anyone with restrictive IE security settings: Depending on your security settings, you may have to allow cookies and put the ESET website, www.eset.com, into the trusted zone of Internet Explorer if the scan has problems starting (in Vista this is a necessity as IE runs in Protected mode).

To do that, on the Internet Explorer menu click Tools => Internet Options => Security => Trusted Sites => Sites. Then uncheck "Require server verification for all sites in this zone" checkbox at the bottom of the dialog. Add the above www.eset.com url to the list of trusted sites, by inserting it in the blank box and clicking the Add button, then click Close. For cookies, choose the IE7 Privacy tab and add the above eset.com url to the exceptions list for cookie blocking.

__________________

As an alternative, to an online antivirus scan, you can run a scan with Dr. Web CureIt!. This scanner is an downloaded as a randomly named executable file that is ready to go with no extracting and no updating. It does take a while to scan, so be patient.

1. Please download DrWeb-CureIt by clicking the "CureIt! Download" button on the right-side of the page. Save the randomly named executable file to your desktop, but DO NOT perform a scan yet.
2. Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
  
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, an Advanced Options Menu should appear
  
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

3. Double-click on randomly named EXE file you just downloaded to start the program. An "Express Scan of your PC" notice will appear.
4. Under "Start the Express Scan Now", Click "OK" to start. This is a short scan that will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the Yes button when it asks you if you want to "cure it".
5. Once the short scan has finished, Click Options --> Change settings
6. Choose the "Scan tab" and UNcheck "Heuristic analysis"
7. Back at the main window, click "Complete Scan"
8. Then click the "Start/Stop Scanning" button (green triangular "play" button on the right), and the scan will start.
9. When done, a message will be displayed at the bottom advising if any threats were found.
10. Click "Yes to all" if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
11. When the scan has finished, see if you can locate the icon next to the files found. If so, click it, then click the next icon right below and select "Move incurable".
(This will move it to the C:\Documents and Settings\userprofile\DoctorWeb\Quarantine folder if it can't be cured)
12. Next, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click File and then choose Save report.
13. Save the DrWeb.csv report to your desktop.
14. Exit Dr.Web Cureit when done.
15. Important! Reboot your computer so any targeted files that were in use can be moved/deleted during reboot.
16. After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web in your next reply. (You can use Notepad to open the DrWeb.cvs report by right-clicking the file and selecting "Open With" -> Notepad.

In your next reply, please include the following:

• Dr.Web Log or ESET log
  
• A new HJT log

[berylman]

Everything seems to be working well on this end. The only thing out of the ordinary is all the icons on my IE favorites list are mismatched. I ran the ESET scanner as instructed, then ran another HJT scan. Both logs are below. Thanks again.

Hi berylman,

I'm glad thinks are working much better.

Your HJT and ESET scan report show nothing to be concerned about.

I would do one more quick scan with an updated MBAM, aslo and post back that report.

Quote

The only thing out of the ordinary is all the icons on my IE favorites list are mismatched.

I don't know what caused that. It's possible the infection added an entry to your favorites, and when that was removed during the cleanup process, the other favs became misaligned. That's the only thing I can think of for the cause, but unfortunately I don't know how to fix that. If I come up with a solution in my travels, I would certainly post back a reply.

Please post the MBAM log and then we will perform some post-cleanup measures.

[berylman]

I updated and scanned with MBAM. Found no infected files. The MBAM log is posted below.

One question. I have a flash drive that is always plugged in to my machine. Do I need to do anything to make sure it's not infected?

Also, no worries on the favorites icons. Windows was just confused--a couple of reboots and it got things sorted out.

Russell

Good job! I'm glad your issue with "favorites" is now resolved, plus your computer is clean now.

We have a few steps to finish up now.

Let's remove Combofix and all its associated files including those in quarantine:
Click start -> run, then copy and paste the following line into the Open box and click OK.

"%userprofile%\desktop\BerylFix.exe" /u

This will do the following:

• Uninstall Combofix and all its associated files and folders.
  
• It will flush your system restore points and create a new restore point.
  
• It will rehide your system files and folders
  
• Reset your system clock

Delete the contents of the C:\ARK folder and then delete the folder itself.

Here are some additional measures you should take to keep your system in good working order and ensure your continued security.

1. Scan your system for outdated versions of commonly used software applications that may also cause your PC be vulnerable, using the Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI)

Just click the "Start Scanner" button to get a listing of all outdated and possibly insecure resident programs.

Note: If your firewall prompts you about access, allow it.

2. Keep MBAM as an on demand scanner because I highly recommend it, and the quick scan will find most all active malware in minutes.

3. You can reduce your startups by downloading Malwarebyte's StartUp Lite and saving it to a convenient location. Just double-click StartUpLite.exe. Then, check the options you would like based on the descriptions provided, then select continue. This will free up system resources because nonessential background programs will no longer be running when you start up your computer.

4. Download and install SpywareBlaster:
http://www.javacools...areblaster.html
Update it and the enable protection for all unprotected items.
You will have to update the free version manually about once a month by clicking the UPdates button.

Finally, please follow the suggestions offered by Tony Klein in How did I get infected in the first place. so you can maintain a safe and secure computing environment.

Happy Surfing!

[berylman]

Done. And done.

Thanks again. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help.

Russell
