Hi, My Pc was infected with STEELWERX and the only program that has helped with the infection was COMBOFIX, how ever I was not to happy about using the program, wondered if the forum had any better and safer fixes that I could have and would have been better to use.

I'm Elrond and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

As an introduction, please note that I am not Superhuman, I do not know everything, but what I do know has taken me years to learn. I am happy to pass on this information to you, but please bear in mind that I am also fallible.

Please only use this topic for your replies on this problem. Do not start another thread.
Please note that the fixes we will use are specific to your problems on this computer and should only be used for this problem on this computer.
These things need to be properly researched and a complete fix for many malware problems can take some time and be spread over a number of posts, so please be patient and try to see it through to the end.

Before we start: Please be aware that removing Malware is a hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

In light of this it would be wise for you to back up any files and folders that you don't want to lose before we start.

Please observe these rules while we work:
  • Perform all actions in the order given.
  • If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
  • Stick with it till you're given the all clear.
  • REMEMBER, ABSENCE OF SYMPTOMS DOES NOT MEAN THE INFECTION IS ALL GONE.
If you can do these things, everything should go smoothly.
  • Please note that you should have Administrator rights to perform the fixes. (XP accounts are Administrator by default) Also note that multiple identity PC’s (family PC’s) present a different problem; please tell me if your PC has more than one individual’s setting, but continue with the fix.Please let me know if you are using a computer with multiple accounts, as this can affect the instructions given.
It may be helpful to you to print out or take a copy of any instructions given, as sometimes it is necessary to go offline and you will lose access to them.



Please note that all instructions given are customized for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.
If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.



Please note that I will be off line for about 26 hours (sundown Friday until nightfall Saturday my local time) every week.


End of preliminaries. What follows is related to analyzing what is on your computer and cleaning it up.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Please download HJTInstall.exe from here and save it to your desktop
  • Double click on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop
  • Click I Accept
  • HijackThis will open
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button.
  • It will scan and then the log will open in notepad.
  • Paste the log as a reply to this thread.
  • Don't use the Analyse This button - its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet.


Open "HijackThis". Click on "Open Misc.Tool Section".
Use the scroll bar on the right and scroll down to "Open Uninstall Manager". Click it.
On the right you will find "Save List". Click it.
The log that you just saved will appear.
Use "Copy" and "Paste" to add it to your next post.

What I want to see int he next post in this topic is a log from HijackThis and the log from Uninstall Manager.

Re: STEELWERX

Unread postby Elrond » July 26th, 2008, 4:47 pm

I do not see anything that does not look OK. The SteelWerks that I know of is a legitimate program that is used by Malware hunters.
Please tell me how you found SteelWerks on your computer and what problems you see.
========================================================================

Meanwhile we should take care of a few things:

P2P Warning!

LimeWire PRO 4.12.3

I understand that downloading music and other files may be important to you; however, the P2P programs that you are using to do that, even if they are not infected with malware, will bring malware into your system. Therefore, the chances of you becoming infected again are very high. This obviously can result in disabling your computer and could even lead to someone stealing sensitive personal data from your computer. Beyond the inconvenience this causes you, these programs also tend to use your computer as a server to spread more infection over the internet, so your computer becomes a part of the malware problem.

Remember that no matter how clean the program you're using for peer-to-peer filesharing may be, it offers no guarantees regarding the cleanliness of files you may choose to download. All files available via p2p filesharing carry a high risk, particularly those that offer you illegitimate methods of using legitimate software programs without paying for them. Any program or file that offers you the ability to access non-freeware programs at no cost, e.g., copyrighted material, pirated software, and/or cracks/key generators for gaining access to legitimate software, is 100% guaranteed to contain malware.

An often unanticipated and unintended consequence of using p2p programs is that you may be leaving your computer open to access by others without either your knowledge or consent. I'd like you to read the Guidelines for P2P Programs where we explain why it's not a good idea to have them. This is how you can uninstall it/them:

  • Click Start
  • Go to Control Panel
  • Go to Add/Remove Programs
  • Find and click Remove for the following (if present):

    LimeWire PRO 4.12.3

NOTE: Take care when answering any questions posed by an uninstaller. Some questions may be worded to deceive you into keeping the program.

If you wish to keep them which I WOULD STRONGLY advice you not to do, you MUST NOT use them until your computer is clean.
==============================================================================

While you are at it you should use the same method to remove the following old Java versions as they pose a security risk.
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 3
Java(TM) 6 Update 5


Close the Add/Remove and the Control Panel.

Update Java Runtime


Now
  • Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
  • Go to Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7 and click on Download button.
  • In Platform box choose Windows.
  • Check the box to Accept License Agreement and click Continue.
  • Click on Windows Offline Installation, click on the link under it which says "jre-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe" and save the downloaded file to your desktop.
  • Install the new version by running the newly-downloaded file with the java icon which will be at your desktop, and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Reboot your computer
============================================================================

Let us look a bit closer at your computer and see if there is anything thta shows up as nasty:

Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS)
  • Close all applications and windows.
  • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
  • When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
  • Make sure Format->Word Wrap is unchecked
  • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your reply

Once complete, please post both DSS logs, you won't need to produce a new HijackThis log as DSS produces one for you.
==============================================================================

What I need you to post in this topic are the following
  1. A description of how you found SteelWerks and what problems you have.
  2. The DSS log main.text
  3. The DSS log extra.txt
  4. A new HijackThis log.

Hi, Thanks for the information, I have completed the removal of Limewire, and the Java system has been updated, the Steelwerx virus or malware kept stopping the Pc from running any desktop icons, freezing the pc then retarting the initial page again.
Combofix removed this for me but I was unsure about that program and its use, I have never had malware problems before but since starting to use BITDEFENDER 2008, this program was tells you disable all forms of anti virus protection prior to installation so I assume this was when my PC was infected, by the way BItdeffender do appear to be having problems with the product, I have been in touch by phone and e-mail and have still not resolved the problem that program has in clashing with OE 6.

I do need to see the Deckard's System Scanner (DDS) log.
If you still have the Combofix log I would like to see that as well.

Hi again.
Sorry for the delay but I had a few real life problems that had to be taken care of.


Please Do not attache the logs but post them in the topic. if I do not specifically ask you to attache them. It makes my job much more difficult and also makes it the information more difficult to access if somebody else wants to or needs to use it.


The SteelWerks that you see is not malware but a tool that is used by some of the tools that we use to clean up malware. It is a specialiced registry tool that can do certain things that can not be done by normal registry tools.


I see that you have XoftSpySE installed. It was once classified as a roug application but it has been de-listed a few years ago. However it is not a program that I would recomend and it has been known to be prone to falsly identifiying files as bad. If you have paid for it I would keep it for now but I would not renew it. There are much better programs out there.

If you want to remove it then please
  1. Click Start>Run type in appwiz.cpl and hit Enter.
  2. Select XoftSpySE if you find it.
  3. Click on the "Add/Remove" button.
  4. If it asks if you really want to remove the program please click Yes
  5. If it gives you more than one option about what to do please chose Remove
  6. Once the program/s are uninstalled, click on the "OK" button.
  7. Reboot the computer.


I'd like you to check (a file/some files) for Viruses.
C:\WINDOWS\SysF7.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SysF6.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SysF5.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SysF4.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SysF3.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bdod.bin
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mpt.exe

  • Copy/Paste the first file on the list into the white Upload a file box.
  • Click Send/Submit, and the file will upload to VirusTotal/Jotti, where it will be scanned by several anti-virus programmes.
  • After a while, a window will open, with details of what the scans found.
  • Note details of any viruses found.

Derek
Please do as follows with those files:
For each file please use the file name as a header and then copy and paste the report that you get with regards to that file. Repeat the same for each of the files that are shown in red in the quote box.
Once I know what the report for each file is we can then see if they should be removed and if so how to do it.

Getting rid of malware is a slow process because one has to be very careful not to do any unnecessary damage.

ATTENTION: VirusTotal is a free service offered by Hispasec Sistemas. There are no guarantees about the availability and continuity of this service. Although the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee the harmlessness of a file. Currently, there is not any solution that offers a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware.
