Malware bytes didn't find anything, but I'm suspicious that I have some malware on my computer. I have a "freecorder" toolbar in firefox that I can't get rid of.

Here are my logs:

well, i figured out how to get rid of the toolbar - I had to remove it via the extensions and add-ons options in firefox. I guess if my logs look okay I'm satisfied. Thanks again.

Please download the following scanning tool. GMER

• Open the zip file and copy the file gmer.exe to your Desktop.

• It may take a minute to load and become available.
• Do not make any changes. As soon as it's done and the COPY button is available click on the COPY button.
• DO NOT Click on the SCAN button.
• This will place the scan in your clipboard. Paste that into notepad or into your next reply post please.
• Click OK and quit the GMER program.

You will want to print out or copy these instructions to Notepad for Safe Mode/offline reference!
These steps are for member Heckler5111 only. If you are a lurker, do NOT try this on your system!
If you are not Heckler5111 and have a similar problem, do NOT post here; start your own topic

Do not run or start any other programs while these utilities and tools are in use!
Do NOT run any other tools on your own or do any fixes other than what is listed here.
If you have questions, please ask before you do something on your own.
But it is important that you get going on these following steps.

STEP01
Reconfigure Windows XP to show hidden files:
To enable the viewing of Hidden files follow these steps:

* Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.
* Double-click on the My Computer icon.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* After the new window appears select the View tab.
* Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders.
* Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.
* Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types.
* Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.
* Press the Apply button and then the OK button and exit My Computer.
* Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.


STEP02

Download and install CCleaner
• CCleaner
• Double-click on the downloaded file "ccsetup215.exe" and install the application.
• Keep the default installation folder "C:\Program Files\CCleaner"
• Uncheck "Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar and use CCleaner from your browser"
• Click finish when done and close ALL PROGRAMS
• Start the CCleaner program.
• Click on Registry and Uncheck Registry Integrity so that it does not run
• Click on Options - Advanced and Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours"
• Click back to Cleaner and under SYSTEM uncheck the Memory Dumps and Windows Log Files
• Click on Run Cleaner button on the bottom right side of the program.
• Click OK to any prompts

STEP03
Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools.
This should apply to AVG8:
To disable the Resident Shield, please:
open AVG User Interface
double-click on the Resident Shield
un-tick the option Resident Shield active
save the changes.

STEP04
Please download and run the following file to repair file and registry permissions
fixacl.exe

STEP05

• Download FixPolicies.exe by Bill Castner and save it to your desktop.
• Double click on FixPolicies.exe to run it.
• Click on Install. It will create a folder named FixPolicies on your desktop.
• Open the FixPolicies folder.
• Double click on Fix_policies.cmd to run it. Command Prompt will open and close quickly this is normal.
• Reboot your computer after it runs
• This fix may prove temporary. Active malware may revert these changes at your next startup. You can safely run the utility again.
• Note: some malware will block the running of this tool. So if you cannot run Fixpolicies, then, RENAME the EXE file to something like Mytool.exe and then run it.

STEP06
Download this INF repair file by MS-MVP Miekiemoes: http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/tools/VArestorepolicies.zip
Unzip the download. Open the folder VArestorepolicies and Right-click the file inside, VArestorepolicies.INF and choose Install

STEP07
If you have a prior copy of Combofix, delete it now !

Download ComboFix from one of these locations, saving to DESKTOP:

Link 1
Link 2

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
If your I.E. browser shows a warning message at the top, do a Right-Click on the bar and select Download, saving it to the Desktop.

• Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  
  
• Double click on Combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
• If and only if you are prompted to download a new version of Combofix, reply NO .
  
• As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  
  
• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.





Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:




Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

Please watch Combofix as it runs, as you may see messages which require your response, or the pressing of OK button.

IF you should see a message like this:

then, be sure to write down fully and also copy that into your next reply here and then await for my response.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
-------------------------------------------------------

A caution - Do not run Combofix more than once.
Do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed, as this may cause the process to stall or your computer to lock.
The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled.
If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.
Even when ComboFix appears to be doing nothing, look at your Drive light.
If it is flashing, Combofix is still at work.

STEP08
IF and only IF the Combofix has worked without exceptions, only then, do the following. IF it has exceptions, then please provide all details and put that in a reply pronto, and STOP, and await my reply.

Only if Combofix has a good finish:
I'm going to have you get and run a special tool. It will hopefully take out most remains of this beast. Keep in mind that not all files I list here will be found on your system; so do not be alarmed. This is a general-type list of typical infectors.

Download The Avenger by Swandog46 from here.

• Unzip/extract it to a folder on your desktop.
• Double click on avenger.exe to run The Avenger.
• Click OK.
• Make sure that the box next to Scan for rootkits has a tick in it and that the box next to Automatically disable any rootkits found does not have a tick in it.
• Copy all of the text in the below textbox to the clibpboard by highlighting it and then pressing Ctrl+C.

• In the avenger window, click the Paste Script from Clipboard icon, button.
• :!: Make sure that what appears in Avenger matches exactly what you were asked to Copy/Paste from the Code box above.
• Click the Execute button.
• You will be asked Are you sure you want to execute the current script?.
• Click Yes.
• You will now be asked First step completed --- The Avenger has been successfully set up to run on next boot. Reboot now?.
• Click Yes.
• Your PC will now be rebooted.
• Note: If the above script contains Drivers to delete: or Drivers to disable:, then The Avenger will require two reboots to complete its operation.
• If that is the case, it will force a BSOD on the first reboot. This is normal & expected behaviour.
• After your PC has completed the necessary reboots, a log should automatically open. Please copy/paste the contents of c:\avenger.txt into your next reply.

Not all the items will be found; so do not worry. Hopefully enough of the rootkit will be removed so that we can continue forward with more cleaning.
If you get a blue screen abort when it reboots, please write down all the information, STOP codes and description.
and then reboot the system again.

STEP09
Download DDS and save it to your desktop from one of these 3 locations
1 http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/dds
2 http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr
3 http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/dds

Disable any script blocker if your antivirus/antimalware has it.
Then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
When done, DDS.txt will open.
Click Yes at the next prompt for Optional Scan.

• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
  1. DDS.txt
  2. Attach.txt

Save both reports to your desktop.

Please include the following logs in your next reply:
DDS.txt
Attach.txt

Please then reply with a copy of C:\Combofix.txt, C:\Avenger.txt, and a new HijackThis

RE-Enable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications.

Hello AdvancedSetup,

Wow, thanks for all the instructions! I've got through them one by one and have for you the results:

For Step 02: CCleaner, under the Registry option, there was no "Registry Integrity" to uncheck. Please note the the latest release is 2.16, not 2.15 as mentioned in your instructions. I hope this is okay?

I noticed that after running Combofix it had put a new IE shortcut on my desktop. This is probably to be expected?

Step 09: The first link downloads a file called dds.com - it probably doesn't matter but your instructions are usually perfect. I used the second link to download dds.scr.

I received an error while running my latest HijackThis just now. I've included the error text in my attachment.

Thank you so much for the help!

Thanks for the feedback. I need to update my message for the CCleaner. The DDS has different ones on purpose but I suppose the message could be changed a little.

I will be out of town this evening so I will have to check back on you some time tomorrow.

Please update MBAM and do another Quick Scan, and a new HJT and post those logs and I'll review them tomorrow.

Thanks.

Hey AS! No problem! Really appreciate your site and all the help!

Please go into the Control Panel, Add/Remove and for now remove ALL versions of JAVA
When we're done you can go back and install the latest version but for now please do not install any.

Then run this tool to help cleanup any left over Java
Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.
***Please close any instances of Internet Explorer (or other web browser) before continuing!***

• Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program.
• From the drop-down menu, choose English and click on Select.
• JavaRa will open; click on Remove Older Versions to remove the older versions of Java installed on your computer.
• Click Yes when prompted. When JavaRa is done, a notice will appear that a logfile has been produced. Click OK.
• A logfile will pop up. Please save it to a convenient location and post it back when you reply

Then look for the following Java folders and if found delete them.
C:\Program Files\Java
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Java
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sun\Java
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Java
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java




With all other applications closed (Taskbar empty), open HijackThis again
and run Do a system scan only and place a check mark on the following items.

• O2 - BHO: Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll
• O2 - BHO: AcroIEHelperStub - {18DF081C-E8AD-4283-A596-FA578C2EBDC3} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroIEHelperShim.dll
  Then Quit All Browsers including the one you're reading this in now.
  Then click on Fix checked and then quit HJT

Click on START - RUN and type in Combofix /U {notice the space between the x and / it must be there} and remove Combofix.

Then please Download OTMoveIt3 by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Double-click OTMoveIt3.exe to run it.
• While connected to the Internet, Click on the green CleanUp! button and it will populate a list of items to clean from your system that we used or may have used.
• It should ask if you want to clean up, select Yes and allow the system to clean up these items.
  NOW please reboot your computer to finish the cleanup process

When that's done please run the following.
Download to the desktop: Dr.Web CureIt

• Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
• This 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. This is only a short scan.
• Once the short scan has finished, Click Options > Change settings
• Choose the "Scan"-tab, remove the mark at "Heuristic analysis".
• Back at the main window, mark the drives that you want to scan.
• Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
• Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
• Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
• When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
  
  If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:
  
  This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
• After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
• Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
• Close Dr.Web Cureit.
• Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
• After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply with a new hijackthis log.

Hey AS! Thanks again for all the help!

Here's what I've got from the latest round of instructions:

1) When I went into HijackThis to select and fix:

O2 - BHO: Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll

It was no longer there.

2) After running OTMoveIt3.exe and restarting, my computer started in some weird default user account but I could access all my files. OTMoveIt3.exe was no longer there. I logged off and logged back on using my regular account and everything seemed normal so I proceeded on to the next instruction.

3) Here's my latest log information; HijackThis log is below and the DrWeb.csv is attached:

That looks fine. Just empty your quarantine for Spybot.

How is the computer running now?
Are there still any signs of an infection?

Hi AS. Awesome! I can't thank you guys enough. My computer is running just fine with no signs of infection. In fact, I think it's running at top speed!

When you say to delete my quarantine for Spybot, do you mean to delete to files located here?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy

Thanks again for everything you do to destroy malware!

This folder includes the sub-folders:

Backups, Excludes, Logs, Recovery, Snapshots, and Snapshots2.

I am thinking that deleting these files/folders is what you meant by "Just empty your quarantine for Spybot."


Thanks again!

Yes that should probably be it, but from within the program it should offer the option I would think.
I've not installed the newer version of it though to confirm the cleanup.


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?

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:

Disable and Enable System Restore-WINDOWS XP
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

Turn off System Restore

• On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
• Click Properties.
• Click the System Restore tab.
• Check Turn off System Restore.
• Click Apply, and then click OK.
• Reboot.

Turn ON System Restore

• On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
• Click Properties.
• Click the System Restore tab.
• UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
• Click Apply, and then click OK.

This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

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
