Hello pgmigg,

I hope this is not a duplicate but I sent this previously and don't see it.

F. Let's take this one first. IE and Firefox open fine. I can navigate the web etc. Outlook, Office iTunes fine. I tried to open Google Chrome and the message about needing to close came up. Additionally, after I did some additional time on the web it seems something is still not right. When each and every time I do a search for something the first time I click on any of the results I'm taken to some sort of advertising site. So it looks like the computer is not 100% free of problems.

A. Do you have any problems executing the instructions? No

Hello pgmigg

After the last cleaning I checked a few applications on the computer and browsed the web enough to see if I could navigate without problems. I decided to leave the computer on during night. I woke up to "Firewall Warning" and "Privacy Protection has detected of leak of your files to the Internet..." and "tfswctrl.exe is infected with W32/Blaster.worm". No access to the web. Browsers won't open, outlook wont' stay open. z147

Hello z147,
When each and every time I do a search for something the first time I click on any of the results I'm taken to some sort of advertising site. So it looks like the computer is not 100% free of problems.

I woke up to "Firewall Warning" and "Privacy Protection has detected of leak of your files to the Internet..." and "tfswctrl.exe is infected with W32/Blaster.worm". No access to the web. Browsers won't open, outlook wont' stay open.

We are still not finished yet, so let continue...

Step 0.
ERUNT - Run to make a full backup:
This will create a full backup of your registry. ERUNT can be used to restore the registry from this backup, if needed.
  1. Please navigate to Start -> All Programs -> ERUNT, then double-click ERUNT from the menu.
  2. Click on OK within the pop-up menu.
  3. In the next menu under C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\DD-MM-YYYY under Backup options make sure both the following are selected:
    • System registry.
    • Current user registry.
  4. Next click on OK at the prompt, then reply Yes.
    After a short duration the Registry backup is complete! pop-up message will appear.
  5. Now click on OK. A registry backup has now been created.
< STOP > If you did not successfully complete this step. < STOP > Do not continue with any other steps, post back and let me know!

Step 1.
Download and Run ComboFix
  1. Please download ComboFix from one of the following links.

    Link 1.

    Link 2.

    **IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop**
  2. Please disable any Antivirus and Firewall you have active, as shown in this topic. Please close all open application windows.
  3. Double click on ComboFix.exe and follow the prompts.
  4. As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  5. Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console
Image
**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
Image

  • Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the contents of C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply
A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may cause to your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use!
ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper.


Please include in your next reply:
  1. Do you have any problems executing the instructions?
  2. Contents of ComboFix.txt log file
  3. Do you see any changes in computer behavior?

Hello z147,
I can't turn MS Security Essentials (XP Home Security 2012) back on and it blocks access to the web. It wants me to purchase or register. I also still receieve a message suggesting a spyware attack.
XP Home Security tells me Outlook and iTunes are infected with Trojan-BK.Win32.Keylogger.gen and won't allow access to the internet.

The "XP Home Security 2012" is a fake anti-spyware program that simulates a system scan and reports false scan results.
Now we will try to remove it...

Please read carefully my instructions below and print it out because your Internet access may be interrupted during processing...

Please go to the CLEAN computer and download couple of tools!

Rkill - Download
Note: If your security software warns about Rkill, please ignore and allow the download to continue.
  • Please download Rkill... by Grinler (download page will open in a new tab or browser window) and click on the Download Now button labeled iExplore.exe download link . When you are prompted where to save it, please save it on your Desktop.
  • It is possible that you will have problems running RKill. So please download the other renamed versions of RKill from the rkill download page too. All of the files are renamed copies of RKill, which you can try instead.
  • Please note that the download page will open in a new browser window or tab.

ComboFix - Download
Please download ComboFix from one of the following links.

Link 1.
Link 2.

**IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop**

Please copy all downloaded files via flash drive or CD/DVD to the infected PC and save them on the Desktop too. Then you need to try to run my instructions on infected computer:

Step 0.
ERUNT - Run to make a full backup:
This will create a full backup of your registry. ERUNT can be used to restore the registry from this backup, if needed.
  1. Please navigate to Start -> All Programs -> ERUNT, then double-click ERUNT from the menu.
  2. Click on OK within the pop-up menu.
  3. In the next menu under C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\DD-MM-YYYY under Backup options make sure both the following are selected:
    • System registry.
    • Current user registry.
  4. Next click on OK at the prompt, then reply Yes.
    After a short duration the Registry backup is complete! pop-up message will appear.
  5. Now click on OK. A registry backup has now been created.
< STOP > If you did not successfully complete this step. < STOP > Do not continue with any other steps, post back and let me know!

Step 1.
Rkill
  1. Double click on the iExplore.exe Desktop icon in order to automatically attempt to stop any processes associated with XP Home Security 2012 and other Rogue programs. Please be patient while the program looks for various malware programs and ends them.
  2. A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.
    1. If you having problems running this version of RKill, you need to run all other renamed versions of RKill sequentially.
    2. If the next one does not work too, repeat the process until the tool runs.
    3. If no version of Rkill would run, please let me know.
    Do not reboot your machine until asked to do so.
    When finished, Notepad will open with a log file, automatically saved at C:\rkill.log.
  3. Please copy and paste the contents of the rkill.log file, in your next reply.
    Please leave Rkill on the Desktop unless instructed otherwise.
Note: If you get an alert that Rkill is infected, ignore it. The alert is a fake warning given by the rogue software, trying to "protect" itself from being terminated or removed. If you see such a warning, leave the warning on the screen, then run Rkill again. By not closing the warning, this sometimes allows you to bypass the malware's attempt to protect itself, so that Rkill can perform its routine.


Step 2.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Rerun
  1. Please start MBAM (Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware) again.
    You must be connected to the Internet to obtain any updates.
  2. Press the Update tab, then press the Check for Updates button. <<---Important!
    Once any updates are installed or you get the message that you are up-to-date
  3. Press the Scanner tab and select FULL SCAN this time, then press the Scan button. This kind of scan will take a while, so please be patient!
    When the scan finishes...
  4. Check all items except any items (if present) in the C:\System Volume Information folder. Then click on Remove Selected.
  5. Let MBAM remove what it can... If there are files to be deleted on reboot, please reboot the machine so MBAM can finish the removal.
    If you rebooted, then you'll need to start MBAM again.
  6. Press the LOG tab and locate the most current log file.
    Please copy and paste the most recent log (from this new run) in your next reply.

Step 3.
ComboFix - Run
  1. Please disable any Antivirus and Firewall you have active, as shown in this topic. Please close all open application windows.
  2. Double click on ComboFix.exe and follow the prompts.
  3. As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  4. Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
Image

  • Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper.


Please include in your next reply:
  1. Do you have any problems executing the instructions?
  2. Contents of rkill.log file
  3. Contents of the most recent MBAM log file
  4. Contents of ComboFix.txt log file
  5. Do you see any changes in computer behavior?

Hello z147,

Please skip ERUNT step and begin from Step 1 (Rkill) instead.

Let me know how it is going...

pgmigg,

Instructions executed fine. Contents of files below. The system ran fine last night and today except that I was still being redirected during my first click after a search. I left the system on for a few hours without any activity and nothing opened. When I got back the fake XP security was back up with no access to the internet.

So, it looks like I'm back to square one. stuck z147

Re: Browsers will not open

Unread postby pgmigg » December 14th, 2011, 2:33 am

Hello z147,
So, it looks like I'm back to square one.

Please don't upset so much. You computer is infected hardly but it will be treated and clean. Let continue...

Note: Continue surfing the Web until I will say that you computer is clean is DANGEROUS!

Please be sure that your current antivirus software Microsoft Security Essentials is up to date. Tell me if you cannot update it.

Please read carefully my instructions below and print it out because your Internet access may be interrupted during processing...

Step 1.
FixNCR.reg
Some infections can change settings on the computer, so when you launch an executable (.exe) file, it will instead launch the infection.
To fix this we must alter the registry entries altered by the infection.

  1. Please download FixNCR.reg
    Download from a clean computer using a CD/DVD (recommended), external drive, flash drive.
  2. Insert the removable device into the infected computer and open the folder, with the drive letter associated with it.
    You should see the FixNCR.reg file that you downloaded.
  3. Double-click on the FixNCR.reg file to fix the Registry on your infected computer.
  4. You may receive a prompt indicating the process has completed ... if prompted, Click OK.
    You should now be able to run your normal programs... proceed to the next step.

Note: Below you can see two steps 2A and 2B for creation of full registry backup and System Restore Point. If you could not run 2A, please try to run 2B. You don't need to run both of them, if the 2A will be successful. Please let me know if you cannot run both of these steps! Otherwise please proceed to Step 3.

Step 2A.
ERUNT - Run to make a full backup:
This will create a full backup of your registry. ERUNT can be used to restore the registry from this backup, if needed.
  1. Please navigate to Start -> All Programs -> ERUNT, then double-click ERUNT from the menu.
  2. Click on OK within the pop-up menu.
  3. In the next menu under C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\DD-MM-YYYY under Backup options make sure both the following are selected:
    • System registry.
    • Current user registry.
  4. Next click on OK at the prompt, then reply Yes.
    After a short duration the Registry backup is complete! pop-up message will appear.
  5. Now click on OK. A registry backup has now been created.

Step 2B.
Create System Restore Point
  1. Click Start.
  2. Select All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools, then press System Restore.
  3. At the Welcome screen select Create a restore point and then press Next.
  4. In the description box, type a name to describe this restore point.
      System Restore automatically adds (to your description) the current date and time.
  5. Click Create to finish creating this restore point.
  6. Click Close to exit System Restore.
Unless you use some other method to create system restore points, it is advisable to leave this feature ON and active.

Step 3.
Rkill
  1. Double click on the iExplore.exe Desktop icon in order to automatically attempt to stop any processes associated with XP Home Security 2012 and other Rogue programs. Please be patient while the program looks for various malware programs and ends them.
  2. A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.
    1. If you having problems running this version of RKill, you need to run all other renamed versions of RKill sequentially.
    2. If the next one does not work too, repeat the process until the tool runs.
    3. If no version of Rkill would run, please let me know.
    Do not reboot your machine until asked to do so.
    When finished, Notepad will open with a log file, automatically saved at C:\rkill.log.
  3. Please copy and paste the contents of the rkill.log file, in your next reply.
    Please leave Rkill on the Desktop unless instructed otherwise.
Note: If you get an alert that Rkill is infected, ignore it. The alert is a fake warning given by the rogue software, trying to "protect" itself from being terminated or removed. If you see such a warning, leave the warning on the screen, then run Rkill again. By not closing the warning, this sometimes allows you to bypass the malware's attempt to protect itself, so that Rkill can perform its routine.


Step 4.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Update and Rerun
  1. Please start MBAM (Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware) again.
    You must be connected to the Internet to obtain any updates.
  2. Press the Update tab, then press the Check for Updates button. <<---Important!
    Once any updates are installed or you get the message that you are up-to-date
  3. Press the Scanner tab and select FULL SCAN this time, then press the Scan button. This kind of scan will take a while, so please be patient!
    When the scan finishes...
  4. Check all items except any items (if present) in the C:\System Volume Information folder. Then click on Remove Selected.
  5. Let MBAM remove what it can... If there are files to be deleted on reboot, please reboot the machine so MBAM can finish the removal.
    If you rebooted, then you'll need to start MBAM again.
  6. Press the LOG tab and locate the most current log file.
    Please copy and paste the most recent log (from this new run) in your next reply.

Please include in your next reply:
  1. Do you have any problems executing the instructions?
  2. Could you update Microsoft Security Essentials?
  3. Contents of rkill.log file
  4. Contents of the most recent MBAM log file
  5. Do you see any changes in computer behavior?

Thanks,

pgmigg,

I will not surf the web until you state it's OK.

Microsoft Security Essentials will not open so it cannot be updated.

Apparently, I have another fake security program now called Security Sphere 2012

Hello z147,
Apparently, I have another fake security program now called Security Sphere 2012

Existence of this infection enforced me to change previous set of steps...

Note: Continue surfing the Web until I will say that you computer is clean is DANGEROUS!

Please read carefully my instructions below and print it out because your Internet access may be interrupted during processing...

Note: Below you can see two steps 1A and 1B for creation of full registry backup and System Restore Point. If you could not run 1A, please try to run 1B. You don't need to run both of them, if the 1A will be successful. Please let me know if you cannot run both of these steps! Otherwise please proceed to Step 2.

Step 1A.
ERUNT - Run to make a full backup:
This will create a full backup of your registry. ERUNT can be used to restore the registry from this backup, if needed.
  1. Please navigate to Start -> All Programs -> ERUNT, then double-click ERUNT from the menu.

  4. Next click on OK at the prompt, then reply Yes.
    After a short duration the Registry backup is complete! pop-up message will appear.
  5. Now click on OK. A registry backup has now been created.

Step 1B.
Create System Restore Point
  1. Click Start.
  2. Select All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools, then press System Restore.
  3. At the Welcome screen select Create a restore point and then press Next.
  4. In the description box, type a name to describe this restore point.

  5. Click Create to finish creating this restore point.
  6. Click Close to exit System Restore.
Unless you use some other method to create system restore points, it is advisable to leave this feature ON and active.

Step 2.
FixNCR.reg
Some infections can change settings on the computer, so when you launch an executable (.exe) file, it will instead launch the infection.
To fix this we must alter the registry entries altered by the infection.

  1. Please download FixNCR.reg
    Download from a clean computer using a CD/DVD (recommended), external drive, flash drive.
  2. Insert the removable device into the infected computer and open the folder, with the drive letter associated with it.
    You should see the FixNCR.reg file that you downloaded.
  3. Double-click on the FixNCR.reg file to fix the Registry on your infected computer.
  4. You may receive a prompt indicating the process has completed ... if prompted, Click OK.
    You should now be able to run your normal programs... proceed to the next step.

Step 3.
Check - Reset Proxy settings
Malware can alter your proxy settings. If altered, it can affect your ability to browse or download tools required for disinfection.

Internet Explorer Proxy settings:
  1. Open Internet Explorer > click Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab.
  2. Click the LAN Settings... button and uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN"
    or change the settings to the proxy you normally use if you previously reconfigured it.
  3. Remove any unknown addresses from the Address box. 80 is the default Port so it does not have to be changed.
  4. Click OK... then click OK again.
  5. Close Internet Explorer and -restart- the computer.
  6. An example of how to do this with screenshots can be found in steps 3-7 under the section Automated Removal Instructions... in this guide.

Firefox Proxy settings:
  1. Open Firefox, click Tools > Options > Advanced and click the Network Tab.
  2. Under the Connection section click on the Settings... button.
  3. Under Configure Proxies to Access the Internet, check No proxy. This is the default option if you don't use a proxy.
  4. Click OK... then click OK again.
  5. Close Firefox and -restart- the computer.

For other browsers, please refer to How to configure browser proxy settings.

Step 4.
TDSSKiller - Rootkit Removal Tool - Scan only
  1. Double-click on TDSSKiller.exe to run the tool for known TDSS/TDL variants.
    If TDSSKiller does not run, please rename it. Right-click on TDSSKiller.exe, select Rename and give it a random name with the .com file extension (i.e. zarodinu.com).
    If you don't see file extensions, please see: How to change the file extension.
  2. Click the Start Scan button. Do not use the computer during the scan!
  3. If the scan completes with nothing found, click Close to exit.
  4. If malicious objects are found, they will show in the "Scan results - Select action for found objects" and offer 3 options.
    • Please select Skip instead of Cure (default).
  5. Then click Continue, then Close and then Close again.
  6. A log file named TDSSKiller_version_dd.mm.yyyy_hh.mm.ss_log.txt will be created and saved to the root directory (usually Local Disk C:).
  7. Copy and paste the contents of that file in your next reply.

Please include in your next reply:
  1. Do you have any problems executing the instructions?
  2. Could you run steps 1A or 1B successfully?
  3. Contents of TDSSKiller_version_dd.mm.yyyy_hh.mm.ss_log.txt file
  4. Do you see any changes in computer behavior?

pgmigg,

1A. ERUNT will not open.
1B. When I go to All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools System Restore is not there. The only thing that is there is "Internet Explorer (no Add-ons)" I cannot even do a search for System Restore. Also, by mistake I tried to run FixNCR from both a CD and an external drive. The program wouldn't even show up on the CD and would not open from the external drive.

Hello z147,
Also, by mistake I tried to run FixNCR from both a CD and an external drive. The program wouldn't even show up on the CD and would not open from the external drive.

Please answer some questions:
  1. Could you download successfully the FixNCR.reg and TDSSKiller.exe files from a non-infected computer to CD or external drive?
  2. If yes... Could you see both files on CD or external drive?
    Note: The FixNCR is not an executable file - it is a registry file, that should be double clicked or right clicked and merged with the registry.
  3. Could you copied successfully both files to the infected computer's DESKTOP. !!! DESKTOP as the target location is very important !!!

Thanks,
