MABM is failing to detect and clean a Rootkit.TDSServ infection on a machine where SUPERAntiSpyware is spotting it.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys#group
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys#imagepath
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys#start
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys#type
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys\Enum
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys\Enum#0
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys\Enum#Count
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys\Enum#INITSTARTFAILED
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servies\TDSServ.sys\Enum#NextInstance

SUPERAntiSpyware removes this, but after a reboot or two it makes its way back.

Hi and welcome to the MBAM forums

SAS is not taking out the whole infection and hence why it is restoriing itself.

Try the following walkthrough for to see if MBAM can kill the infection once and for all

I've been reading your little walkthroughs Ade, VERY GOOD JOB

The only way I was aware of removing things like this was slaving the HDD and scanning from another PC...that usually works. But this I THINK would save some time!

THANKS!

If you need assistance with really removing it then please follow the direction below.


Hello and Welcome to Malwarebytes.org

If you're having Malware related issues with your computer that you're unable to resolve.

1. Please read and follow the instructions provided here: I'm infected - What do I do now?
2. If needed please post your logs in a NEW topic here: Malware Removal - HijackThis Logs
3. When posting logs please do not use any Quote, Code, or other tags. Please copy/paste directly into your post and do not attach files unless requested.

• Please do not post any logs in the General forum. We do not work on any logs posted in the General forum.
• Please do not install any software or use any removal/scanning tool except for those you're requested to run by the Helper that will assist you.
• Using these other tools often makes the cleanup task more difficult and time consuming.
• If you have already submitted for assistance at one of the other support sites on the Internet then you should not post a new log here, you should stay working with the Helper from that site until the issue is resolved.
• Do not assume you're clean because you don't see something in the logs. Please wait until the person assisting you provides feedback.
• There are often many others that require asistance as well, so please be patient. If no one has responded within 48 hours then please go ahead and post a request for review

• NOTE: If for some reason you're unable to run some or any of the tools in the first link, then skip that step and move on to the next one. If you can't even run HijackThis, then just proceed and post a NEW topic as shown in the second link describing your issues and someone will assist you as soon as they can.

If you look at device manager, and look at hidden/non plug and play devices. Is TDSSys.sys listed there? If so, you may want to disable. Reboot, the run MWB, etc.

There was a left over driver, but for whatever reason SAS appears to have finally done the job. Despite the program coming back after the first five cleans the sixth nailed it. No idea why. I finished the job by deleting the (now broken) driver.
