Solve : Heavily Infected Laptop w/o Internet Access? |
|
Answer» My son's Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop is heavily infected. I followed steps 1, 2 & 3. With Step 3, SAS could not UPDATE because the laptop cannot connect to the internet DESPITE a wireless modem that appears to be working fine with an excellent signal. So, I did a complete scan with definitions the program said were 45 days old. It still found 200+ viruses that it quarantined. After rebooting, I was hoping to regain internet access, update SAS, rerun it and continue with the remaining steps but that did not happen. |

Solve : I have a Trojan virus and need help? |
|
Answer» I have a virus and need some help with it. I have a Compaq Presario 2.8 GHz with 760 mb RAM and I'm running Windows XP service pack 2. I have followed all the guidelines on the forum and here are my logs.
---------- Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT) Don't scan with it yet. ---------- Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop. Link #1 Link #2 **Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix. Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware 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. Double click combofix.exe & 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. Important: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall. Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete. Okay Now it's going even further downhill. When I try to turn off my AVG it's not responding and I'm getting a message about a problem with rundll32. When I try to run Combo fix it POPS open but won't finish running. What do I do now? Thanks!Close all other browser windows. Go to Start > Run and copy/paste in the following: "%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall Press Enter and Combofix will begin to run. When finished, it will produce a log file located at C:\ComboFix.txt Post the contents of that log in your next reply. Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to stall.Sorry for causing so much trouble. When I do that I get a big blue box with a flashing curser that opens up and after 5 minutes of waiting it's still just a flashing cursor there. Is there supposed to be text or something? Lets try this instead. Download SDFix by AndyManchesta and save it to your desktop. When using this tool, you must use the Administrator's account or an account with Administrative rights
Open the SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.

Solve : Does anyone know of a malware that does this?? |

Answer» As of now, I removed it... But there was a DLL file in my system32 folder trying to write the same file in the same place continually, and failing every time. I found it with process monitor because I was wondering why my computer was running slowly. When I forcefully deleted the DLL (It was in use, naturally...) it BSoD'd the computer. On reboot everything was fine. I've never had a problem with viruses/malware before yesterday, so I didn't know the procedures to deal with it. And I do..... If you don't post the combofix log I can't help. C:\combofix.txtlol evilfantasy I know this is random, but I just noticed that it says ur experience is "beginner" lol i thik ur a little bit better than that The more you learn, the less you know... Quote from: evilfantasy on September 13, 2008, 07:22:36 PM The more you learn, the less you know... LOL WHAT?! You just had me sitting here for like a minute trying to make sense of that haha lol ok ILL leave now...... Don't leave without meeee I write software and there's private stuff on that log, but don't worry, everything's running fine now. Quote The more you learn, the less you know... The more you learn about a subject, the more you realize you don't know about it. I write software, but don't know how to remove viruses, for instance, haha. I completely thought that one DLL was the only file, since it was the only one running, to be honest. ~ BaRR Quote I write software and there's private stuff on that log Nobody can see your code that you have written. Nothing in the log is harmful to you. That would defeat the purpose of what the malware forum is all about. Unless you remove it from the registry you are still infected. Removing DLLS isn't enough. Your choice though. Quote Removing dlls isn't enough Aye, I read on the internet how to remove everything. You were a big help, thanks. I wouldn't have known there was more left if you hadn't pointed it out. |

Solve : Disabled AV? |
|
Answer» While doing research for my on-line COURSE I've noticed that most of the experts when they're cleaning a computer will advise the poster to disable their AV while running scans. My question is what's protecting the computer while the AV is disabled? I did this once last week while running a Kaspersky on-line scan but I was assuming that Kaspersky was protecting me at the time. Well, my guess is this: If you arent browsing the web while scanning the computer, you shouldnt RUN into any viruses. Just a guess thoNot sure I should answer. You pretty much already did maybe WITHOUT knowing it. Well, my guess is this: If you arent browsing the web while scanning the computer, you shouldnt run into any viruses. Just a guess thoWhile scanning with Kaspersky I'm quite sure I'm not browsing but I'm definitely on the web and my COMPUTERS are ALWAYS connected. |

Solve : RTVSCAN.exe and Teatimer.exe? |

Answer» both use much memory causing my PC to run very slowly. I've read that teatimer.exe is essential to SPYBOT. Can I make it use LESS memory somehow? it would be interesting to hear what spybot has to say about Teatimer's relative worth vs. its hassle. That's a question they have addressed time and again. They seem to have little patience (understandably) for discussing pros and cons these days. They have said they improved it with the newer builds but I'm not going to try it and see. Turning it off will not effect the program at all. Just be sure to update and then run the Immunize feature about once a week. |

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dllHey, out of curiosity, why am I not getting any response?Sorry, sometimes replies slip by us and get forgotten. Not on purpose..... I don't think this is a malware issue. Post a new HijackThis log and we will see if there is anything we can do with it to try and speed up the PC.I agree with evilfantasy. So far, it seems that your computer is just struggling to handle all of the programs. And like he said, the lack of response was not on purpose. The problems in the SECTION are fairly involved, so we get busy easily. It also doesn't help that school is starting up, which eats away at a lot of my time. My apologies. Anyway, go ahead and post the new HJT log and we'll see what else we can do. Also, you should post as many computer specs as you can, such as CPU, RAM, hard drive (free space and total space), video card, etc.Computer specs: Windows xp media center edition version 2002 service pack 3 toshiba satellite Genuine Intel CPU t2050 1.60 GHz 504MB of RAM.

Answer» here you go
---------- Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
Windows XP System Restore Guide or Windows Vista System Restore Guide . ---------- Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
---------- Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates. ----- How is everything now?hey ran otclean it but i dont think my problem is fixed beacuse my desktop backround is blue with box in the top left corner that has a red square green circle and blue triangle, when i go to reboot my normal backround pops up though what should i do?Try this. You might loose your current background but I think it needs to be reset as the virus changed the settings. Go to start > Control panel > Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop... > Web tab Make sure Lock desktop items is unchecked. Select everything you find in there (except for "My current home page") and press the delete button on the right. Hit OK below > apply in previous window. ---------- Now lets make sure everything is actually gone with a kaspersky scan. Run the Kaspersky Online Scanner In Microsoft Windows Vista, you must open the Web browser using the Run as Administrator command. From the Desktop right click the icon to open the browser and choose Run as Administrator.
There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report. To obtain the report: Click on: Save Report As
Copy and paste the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your next reply. Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.Did the scan everything seems normal what do you think -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KASPERSKY ONLINE SCANNER 7 REPORT Thursday, August 28, 2008 Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600) Kaspersky Online Scanner 7 version: 7.0.25.0 Program database last update: Thursday, August 28, 2008 21:44:06 Records in database: 1158226 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scan settings: Scan using the following database: extended Scan archives: yes Scan mail databases: yes Scan area - My Computer: A:\ C:\ D:\ E:\ F:\ G:\ Scan statistics: Files scanned: 149241 Threat name: 5 Infected objects: 7 Suspicious objects: 0 Duration of the scan: 02:00:36 File name / Threat name / Threats count C:\Documents and Settings\Family\Desktop\Mom\NetTools5.0.70.zip Infected: not-a-virus:NetTool.MSIL.Sniffer.a 1 C:\Documents and Settings\Family\My Documents\Chase\ca_setup.exe Infected: not-a-virus:PSWTool.Win32.Cain.284 1 C:\Program Files\Cain\Abel.exe Infected: not-a-virus:PSWTool.Win32.Cain.284 1 C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.exe Infected: not-a-virus:Client-IRC.Win32.mIRC.631 1 D:\Installs\WorkFlow\GUI\actwin2.exe Infected: Trojan.Win32.Shutdowner.cq 1 D:\Setup\SST\Data\VNC\MotVNC.exe Infected: not-a-virus:RemoteAdmin.Win32.WinVNC-based.b 2 The selected area was scanned.

Answer» Quote Just to be sure, you recommend I keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebtyes Anti-Malware and run them frequently? Is this correct? Yes. Run them about once a week. You will see that SAS will pick up some tracking cookies, some good, some bad and MBAM will usually come up clean. You need to keep Avast because that is your Anti-Virus program. The others are to keep malware, spyware etc out. Quote "Your computer might be at riskIf you ran the AVG Removal Tool, it should be gone. You can try running it again. You should turn on your Windows firewall or download and install one of the free ones below.

You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors. Remember only install ONE firewall 1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one) 2) Online Armor 3) Agnitum Outpost 4) PC Tools Firewall Plus If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time. |

I keep getting the message that "Cannot delete: BackEnv. Access is denied." I've attempted deleting it in Safe Mode and after closing all applications. I can't get rid of it.Ok Clean all the files out of that folder that you can and leave it or you can download and install Unlocker and try deleting it with that.

Solve : McAfee Security Scans blocked by Comodo? |
|
Answer» I downloaded the latest Adobe reader. I unchecked the (include McAfee) box. That looks good. Were you able to install a new AV? Yes. I installed Comodo Antivirus. I lost my firewall, but found out I could reinstall the firewall fairly easy. I reinstalled the firewall and all seems to be working fine. Quote Delete the Combo-Fix.exe file, C:\Combo-Fix folder, C:\QooBox folder, C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe, C:\combo-fix.txt and C:\Combo-Fix-quarantined-files.txt I couldn't find any C:\Combo "anything" folders. I could't find C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe I did delete any combo fix files, like logs, that I could find. Also, C:\QooBox had a Folder called BackEvn that SAID access denied when I tried to delete it. It SAYS make sure the disk is not full or write protected or to make sure the file is not in use. No problems with the restore step and the TFC steps. Quote Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software. It asked me to update internet exporere, which I don't use. But just in case I might need to use it or another user would like to use it, I wanted to update it. Secunia gave me a link to Windows update and about 20 or so links showing me which updates I'm missing. But, when I ran the Windows Update from the Microsoft site, it said I wasn't missing any updates. What am I missing here, I must be missing something very obvious. Thanks Quote did delete any combo fix files, like logs, that I could find. Also, C:\QooBox had a Folder called BackEvn that said access denied when I tried to delete it.

Just clean out all the files that you can in the folder and leave it there. Quote What am I missing here, I must be missing something very obvious.You're running IE 6. You should download IE 8 |

Uninstall the old driver and install the new one. Re-running ComboFix to remove infections:
Removed ATI Display Driver file containing Radeon 9800. Did not remove ATI Control Panel. Restarted computer as part of uninstall process. Dots still on startup images (e.g. MicroSoft Windows) but when booted up lines on screen ------ and icons llllll no longer there. Whooppee! Down loaded video driver from Sony Website, Radeon 9800. Restarted computer as required. Dots still on startup images (e.g. MicroSoft Windows) and lines on screen and icons, had returned. Did not run ComboFix in case this latest experience prompts new ideas. Should I have also removed ATI Control Panel? If I do, do I need to re-install it and if so how?When you removed the video card driver I suspect that the video card was running on the generic driver just as it did in Safe Mode. It looks like the problem is with the drivers and I really can't help you much with that. I think you should run the ComboFix script, we'll do some CLEANUP and you can get help for the driver problem in another one of forums dealing with such problems. You should start a new thread right now even while we're cleaning up here. I'm sorry we couldn't get this fixed before Christmas. |

Solve : Several Different Problems? |
|
Answer» Quote When I start my computer up there's a MESSAGE that says "Please select operating system to start" along with otherThat's probably the Recovery Console that was installed when you installed ComboFix. This could be very useful if Windows has problems starting. Quote The "ASP.NET Machine" is still listed under user accounts as wellYou may have to go to another forum for help with this after we are finished with cleaning. Quote Also, Malwarebytes still can't finish running and will crash during its scan whenever I try to run it. Please post the log, if SUCCESSFUL.Please try running it in SAFE MODE. Quote I have been able to open my older Adobe Photoshop 7.0, but my tablet still isn't working. I downloaded the driver for it yet again and it seemed fine. I closed Photoshop and opened it again a few times and at first I have pen pressure, but when I restarted the tablet didn't WORK again.Again, you may have to search for help with this on another forum. It doesn't sound like an infection has caused this. |

Solve : Trojan:DOS/Alureon.A? |

Answer» Quote from: SUPERDAVE on December 13, 2010, 04:50:23 PM A master boot record (MBR), or partition sector, is the 512-byte boot sector that is the first sector ("LBA/absolute sector 0") of a partitioned data storage device such as a hard disk. Did you just do a re-install without a reformat? okay i have two hard drive one IDE 250g and one SATA250g. before i installed my new motherboard i had my windows installation on the SATA drive and the IDE drive used to be the backup drive now that i upgraded to the EVGA nForce 780I motherboard i had to REINSTALL the os so i installed it on the IDE hard drive and the old windows installation is still on the SATA drive. Do you recommend me use the SATA or IDE hard drive? which one performs faster? and ill format it too. Quote Do you recommend me use the SATA or IDE hard drive? which one performs faster? and ill format it too.SATA would be your best bet for your main drive. If you do a full format, you should get rid of the MBR infection. Quote from: SuperDave on December 14, 2010, 12:29:30 PM SATA would be your best bet for your main drive. If you do a full format, you should get rid of the MBR infection. I found i solution to this. Eventhough i had formated both drives and reinstalled Windows 7 64bit everything was running just fine.. But after a week it came back and i could not remove it. So i did some searches and found out that Kasperky's TDSSKiller was the tool that remove these types of viruses. It removed it in les that 5 minutes. Thanks for the help though. |

Solve : Google redirects virus, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe infected?? |

Answer» A couple of questions, if you please. Is your disk DRIVE the E: drive? If it is not, you will have to put the correct letter in the command. On my computer with two disk drives, they are D and H. Are you SURE that you typed the command exactly as I wrote it? Even a missed space would MESS it up.Hey Dave, interesting little UPDATE but I rebooted today when I GOT home from school and explorer.exe was back and running; taskbar and all but so was the google redirect. -head scratch- |

Solve : Do you really need anti virus?? |
|
Answer» Hey, If so, can you make it so it doesn't scan for viruses or something? that would sort of defeat the purpose... And if it is finding viruses/showing alerts then it's doing it's job; apparently there is some shifty stuff on your friends USB drive. My college computer put an Autorun onto my USB drive, this is always flagged as a virus when i plug it in at home. Try TAKING the autorun off the usb.Alright, thanks for your help guys, I'll get avast in a tick. It's a family computer too, and I'll get my friend to check for any autorun stuff. MikeAnti-Virus software is very IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY if you are running a Microsoft Windows Operating System. AVG has unfortunately become very bulky, similar to many paid, but not all, anti-virus software. If you are looking for a free anti-virus program that does not tax your system resources Avast! Anti-Virus is good. Another alternative is Microsoft Security Essentials (lightweight but not as good as Avast! in my opinion). I also recommend installing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for basic computer scans. |

Answer» A RANSOMWARE Trojan threat is back – in an even more noxious form – two years after it last appeared. The malware only encrypts the start of media or Office files, but that's enough to make any data recovery process difficult if not impossible. I wonder why it restricts itself?superb self control |
