Vundo Problem

Unread postby karoath » July 5th, 2007, 9:11 pm

Hello, I've recently discovered that I have the Vundo Trojan on my machine. I have Norton installed and it keeps spotting the files, but can not quarantine or remove the files. I also tried the following programs to remove the trojan... Ad-Aware, VundoFix, TrojanHunter, and Spybot. None seem to do anything with the files. I was wondering if someone could help me find a way to remove Vundo. I've including a HijackThis log file below. Thanks in advance for any help that you may provide.

Register to Remove

Unread postby Trogan » July 6th, 2007, 5:35 am

Hi karoath, and welcome to Malware Removal! :)

Three things:

1. I don't see any indication of a Firewall in your HijackThis log. This may be because:

(1.) You are using Windows Firewall or a hardware Firewall.
(2.) You are using a Firewall of an unknown vendor.
(3.) You are using a Firewall, but it is disabled for unknown reasons
(4.) You don't use any firewall at all.

In the case you don't have a Firewall, please download one from the list below - They are Free!

Comodo
Zone Alarm
Sunbelt Kerio PF
Outpost Firewall

2. You said you ran VundoFix. If so, it would have created a log at C:\VundoFix.txt. Please locate this and post it back here.

3. I need to see another log from HijackThis.
  • Run Hijackthis.
  • Click on Open the Misc Tools section.
  • Next click on Open uninstall manager.
  • Press the Save list button.
  • Save the file to your desktop, with the default name of uninstall_list
  • Copy & Paste the entire contents of that file in your in your next post.

Please post the VundoFix log, along with the uninstall list and a new HijackThis log.

Thanks for the rapid response! Each time I click "Save List" in HijackThis, the program closes without giving me an option for the save location. I checked the desktop and could not find any new files. Any ideas about this problem? The VundoFix log is displayed below. I do not currently have a firewall installed. I am using a wireless router with WEP encryption from NetGear to connect to the internet, though. If I install a firewall, will it interfere with my normal computer usage? I've often heard that a software firewall interferes with internet browsing as well as other operations. Thanks again for the help!

Hi karoath,

No, a software Firewall will not interfere with Internet activities. The only time a Firewall will interfere is when something it does not recognise tries to gain access to or from your computer; you then have accept or deny access. You really need to install a Firewall for your protection. I suggest Comodo; very easy to use and does a fantastic job.

Before we begin, you have HijackThis.exe (dynamite icon) on your Desktop. This is fine, but it is better for HijackThis to be in its own folder so backups can safely be created. Please do this now.

Please do the following...

1. We need to run VundoFix again, but slightly different than before.
  • Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
  • Right Click inside the listbox (white box) and click Add more file?
  • Copy & Paste the following entry below into the top box

    • C:\WINNT\system32\iifdc.dll
  • Click Add Files and click Close Window
  • Click the Remove Vundo button.
  • You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
  • Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
  • When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
  • Turn your computer back on.
  • Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt in your next reply.

2. Open HijackThis
- Click the Do a system scan only button
- Check the following entries (below)

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank

I just finished installing comodo on the machine. I ran VundoFix and it seems to fail again. The log is shown below. With HijackThis, the following entires did not appear when I did a system scan...

I performed the Fix Checked option on the other files, though. See the attached log file below. HiJackThis still closes when I try to save the uninstall list again.

Whoops! I had temporarily disabled Norton Real Time Protection to stop the insane number of messages it was giving. I reenabled and tried HijackThis once again. The missing entries were now displayed and I clicked Fix again. I think it may have worked on all of the files, except for the iifdc.dll entries (at a quick glance). I posted the log below. I also tried the uninstall list again and it worked this time, also listed below. Sorry about the confusion!

Hi karoath! Hmm...that file is being stubborn!

Before we begin, can I ask you to either disable or shut down Trojan Hunter while we work to clean the computer. This will ensure that we do not run into any troubles along the way.

Please do the following...

1. Lets get that file uploaded so it can be added to VundoFix.
  • Go here to Upload Malware
  • Fill out the information, and post a link to this thread.
  • In the File(s) To Submit: box 1. copy and paste the following:
    • C:\WINNT\system32\iifdc.dll
  • Click on Send File and close the page
2. Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update to the latest version...

Updating Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u2.
  • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications."
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement."
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove the following...
    • Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.1_02
    • Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04
    • Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05
    • Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_06
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u2-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.

3. Download this file to your Desktop - combofix.exe
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

4. Please post the ComboFix log, along with a new HijackThis log.

Hi karoath,

Your logs are clean now? Anymore problems?

If not, then we can wrap this up in the next. :)

Sounds great... this was a huge help! I would have never figured out how to get rid of those nasties. I just wish I knew where they came from. The only problem I am now seeing occurs when the computer is running, but I am logged off. I see the following error message pop up numerous times from the login screen.

sfupdate.exe - Application Error Instruction at 0x006f0064 reference memory 0x006f0064 . The memory could not be read.

I hope the text is verbatim... I tried a print screen from the login area, but it didn't seem to copy the image into memory. This doesn't appear to be a big issue since the computer seems to run fine (in fact much faster since the malware has been removed). Let me know if you've seen this before. Thanks again for the help!

Hi karoath,

Glad to hear the computer is running much faster.

Regarding the error, I have never seen it before, and I cannot find much info regarding the sfupdate.exe file. I would like you to do a search for it:

Click Start > Search > All Files and Folders.
Expand More advanced options and make sure these boxes are checked
  • Search system folders
  • Search hidden files and folders
  • Search subfolders
Paste the following into the Search box at the top, and click Search

sfupdate.exe

If found, do 2 things please:
  1. Tell me all the locations found for the file e.g. C:\Windows\System32
  2. Right-click the file and select Properties. Go to the Version tab. Let me know what is listed, especially for the Company section.

Let me know what you find out. :)

Sorry about the slow responses... I've been very busy lately. I could not find any instances of the file anywhere on my computer. I did a quick search on Yahoo and discovered numerous references to a game called StarForce. I am not familiar with the game, but the file may be somehow related. It looks like the error message will have to remain! Ah well, at least the system is clean and the error is not interfering with anything else. Once again, thanks for the help... you've made my computer much better! I certainly appreciate your time.

WinPatrol FAQ

SiteHound by Firetrust

Firetrust introduces the SiteHound Toolbar - the safe way to browse the Internet. With SiteHound, when you browse the Internet, you're shown a warning page every time you go to a site which is a known scam, potentially loads viruses or spyware on to your computer, has questionable content or anything you would not consider reasonable. You are shown a warning page with information about that site. From there you can choose to enter the site or go back. SiteHound is a free add-on to Internet Explorer. (Users of Firefox - a version for you is coming soon.) SiteHound's comprehensive database gathers the knowledge from other users and respected experts from the online security community to tell you which sites are real and which are bogus.

SiteHound will alert you when you enter a site which is known to contain:
  • Fraudulent claims or scams
  • Offensive material
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Spyware or Adware
  • Spam related material
  • or other content deemed to be unsafe

Specifically, SiteHound blocks these categories:

• Adult • Spyware • Spam Advertising • Phishing • Possible scam or fraud • Misleading or False Advertising
• Pharming • Rogue or Suspect Product • Adware • Malware or Virus

System Requirements:
Internet Explorer 5.5+ and Windows 95/98/NT 4/ME/2000/XP

Product Info & Download: SiteHound Toolbar

Use an AntiVirus Software

It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. See the link below for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs.
Computer Safety On line - Anti-Virus
http://forum.malwareremoval.com/viewtopic.php?p=53#53

Update your Anti Virus Software

It is imperative that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

Use a Firewall

I can not stress enough how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For an article on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below.
