Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes. Please run the following.


Update and Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• Start MalwareBytes AntiMalware (Vista users must Right click and choose RunAs Admin)
  
• Please DO NOT run MBAM in Safe Mode unless requested to, you MUST run it in normal Windows mode.
  
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    
  • Select the Update tab
    
  • Click Update
• When the update is complete, select the Scanner tab
  
• Select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. please copy and paste the log into your next reply
  • If you accidently close it, the log file is saved here and will be named like this:
    
  • C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt

Then post back the MBAM log and a new Hijackthis log.



Then run this scanner please and post back the log.


Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved and renamed following this process directly to your desktop**

• 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".
• During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
  
• Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
  
• Close any open browsers.
  
• Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  

  -----------------------------------------------------------

  • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
    
  • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
    

    -----------------------------------------------------------

  • Close any open browsers.
    
  • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
    
  • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
    
  • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.

  -----------------------------------------------------------

• Double click on combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
• When finished, it will produce a report for you.
  
• Please post the "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.

**Note: Do not mouseclick combo-fix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

If you still cannot get this to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode."

If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but name Combofix.exe to iexplore.exe instead, or winlogon.exe..
This because It also happens in some cases that malware blocks EVERY process except for what is in its own whitelist, so this whitelist also includes system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe...

Hi Fred.

Nothing obvious there that I see. You have the NPF that used to be part of an old infection rarely seen anymore under S3 in the logs. But I see you do time stuff and custom Name Server settings so I'm assuming you've probably set that up on your own.

Please temporarily disable your current Anti-Virus in order to run this Online AV scanner.
Run Eset NOD32 Online AntiVirus

Note: You will need to use Internet Explorer for this scan.

• Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
  
• Click Start
  
• When asked, allow the activex control to install
  
• Disable your current Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notfication Tray icon near the clock.
  
• Click Start
  
• Make sure that the option "Remove found threats" is Un-checked, and the option "Scan unwanted applications" is checked
  
• Click Scan
  
• Wait for the scan to finish
  
• Re-enable your Anvirisus software.
  
• A logfile is created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please include this on your post.

The file list as infected is from a program that has not been used for several years.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. The scans all look good. Are you having any signs of infection?

Rubotted still shows a bot, but no other problems.

Still don't see anything that would be kicking it off. We can run some other scans if you like though, just let me know.

Uninstalled Rubotted. Reinstalled. No Bots.

Thank you

Okay, highly suggest you update to Service Pack 3 for XP.


Great, all looks good now.

I'll close your post soon so that other don't post into it and leave you with this information and suggestions.

So how did I get infected in the first place?


[indent]At this time your system appears to be clean. Nothing else in the logs indicates that you are still infected.
Now that you appear to be clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Remove all but the most recent Restore Point on Windows XP

[indent]You should Create a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one.
Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore.
Since this is a protected directory your tools cannot access to delete these files, they sometimes can reinfect your system if you accidentally use an old restore point.
Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

The easiest and safest way to do this is:

• Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
  
• If the shortcut is missing you can also click on START > RUN > and type in %SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe and click OK
  
• Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next".
  
• Give the new Restore Point a name, then click "Create".
  
• The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.

• Then use the Disk Cleanup to remove all but the most recently created Restore Point.
  
• Go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr.exe
  
• Select the drive where Windows is installed and click "Ok". Disk Cleanup will scan your files for several minutes, then open.
  
• Click the "More Options" tab, then click the "Clean up" button under System Restore.
  
• Click Ok. You will be prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete all but the most recent restore point?"
  
• Click Yes, then click Ok.
  
• Click Yes again when prompted with "Are you sure you want to perform these actions?"
  
• Disk Cleanup will remove the files and close automatically.
  
• On the Disk Cleanup tab, if the System Restore: Obsolete Data Stores entry is available remove them also.
  
• These are files that were created before Windows was reformatted or reinstalled. They are obsolete and you can delete them.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Install SpyWare Blaster
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

Install WinPatrol
Download it from here
Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here

Install FireTrust SiteHound
You can find information and download it from here

Install hpHosts
Download it from here
hpHosts is a community managed and maintained hosts file that allows an additional layer of protection against access to ad,
tracking and malicious websites. This prevents your computer from connecting to these untrusted sites
by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your own local computer.
hpHosts Support Forum

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Visit Microsoft often to get the latest updates for your computer.
http://www.update.microsoft.com
Note 1: If you are running Windows XP SP2, you should upgrade to SP3.
Note 2: Users of Norton Internet Security 2008 should uninstall the software before they install Service Pack 3.
The security suite can then be reinstalled afterwards.

The windows firewall is not sufficient to protect your system. It doesn't monitor outgoing traffic and this is a must.
I recommend Online Armor Free
