Hi deltalima,
ComboFix finished and created a log file. It did a reboot while it was running. When I try to open IE or Firefox I get the following message: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion.

I can try to copy the log file onto a thumb drive and move it to my other machine - but I am just worried about copying the virus or whatever along with it. Please let me know what you think.

Please copy the log to a thumb drive, it is a text file and so is safe to copy to another machine.

Hi jlaureni,

c:\windows\explorer.exe . . . is infected!!
c:\windows\System32\wininit.exe . . . is infected!!


The malware has infected two vital system files, we may be able to repair these but if we are unsuccessful the system could become unbootable. Before we proceed I urge you to make backup copies of any important data and check the backups are readable on another computer.

If you understand the risks involved and are prepared to reinstall the operating system if things go wrong we can proceed.

If we are to continue then we need to run the following scan to obtain more information.

Download SystemLook and save it to your Desktop.

  • Right click SystemLook.exe and select: Run as Administrator.
  • Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
    Code: Select all
    :file
    c:\windows\explorer.exe 
    c:\windows\System32\wininit.exe
    :filefind
    explorer.exe 
    wininit.exe
    
  • Click the Look button to start the scan.
  • When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.

Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt

Please let me know if you wish to continue with the fix.

Hi deltalima,
I want to continue with the fix. It may take a day to backup the files - although most are already backed up. I assume that I can download the files you asked me to download to another computer and copy them to the desktop of the infected computer. Please confirm.

Thanks,

Joe

OK, let me know when you are ready to continue.

I assume that I can download the files you asked me to download to another computer and copy them to the desktop of the infected computer


Yes that will be fine. You may find that after another reboot Internet Explorer will work on the infected computer and you can download directly.

You can continue with the SystemLook scan before the backup is complete as this will make no changes to the system. When complete please post the log then I can plan the rest of the fix.

Hi jlaureni,

IE is now working


Good.

There is more we can do before the backup is complete as this will not make any changes to the system.

Create a batch file
  1. Open Notepad.
  2. Copy/paste the following text into the empty Notepad window.
    Code: Select all
    @echo off
    Copy C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_4f7de5167cd15deb\explorer.exe  c:\explorer.exe >> results.txt
    Copy C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-wininit_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_2ebbf6d3076595ce\wininit.exe  c:\wininit.exe >> results.txt 
    start notepad results.txt
    Del %0
    
  3. Save the file as xxx.bat on your desktop. Save it with the file type... all types *.*.
  4. Right click the file xxx.bat and select: Run as Administrator.

results.txt should open in Notepad automatically when the script has complete, post the contents of this file in your next response.

Please run SystemLook again as before using the following in the main textfield:

Code: Select all
:file
c:\windows\explorer.exe 
c:\windows\System32\wininit.exe
c:\explorer.exe 
c:\wininit.exe


Please post the log in your next reply, again this can be done before the backup is completed as it is not making any changes to the system.

Hi jlaureni,

Blitzblank.

Download BlitzBlank and save it to your desktop. Open Blitzblank.exe

  • Click OK at the warning (and take note of it, this is a VERY powerful tool!).
  • Click the Script tab and copy/paste the following text there:
Code: Select all
CopyFile:
C:\explorer.exe C:\Windows\explorer.exe
C:\wininit.exe  C:\WINDOWS\system32\wininit.exe

  • Click Execute Now. Your computer will need to reboot in order to replace the files.
  • When done, post me the report created by Blitzblank. you can find it at the root of the drive Normaly C:\

Hi deltalima,
Here is the log from BlitzBlank.


BlitzBlank 1.0.0.32

File/Registry Modification Engine native application
CopyFileOnReboot: sourceFile = "\??\c:\explorer.exe", destinationFile = "\??\c:\windows\explorer.exe"CopyFileOnReboot: sourceFile = "\??\c:\wininit.exe", destinationFile = "\??\c:\windows\system32\wininit.exe"

BTW - IE is very slow now.
