Ediwo - just wont run, just leaves it hangs as a process but nothing happens.

Followed latest instructions, issues where:

Ccouldn't find this line in HiJack This to check
O23 - Service: Windows Idle Process - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\smsc.exe (file missing)

F_Secure Online Scanner wont run, works until starting to scan system then comes up with error and says need to try again error id:24
______
As I've no longer got command service which was the point of this excercise and McAfee is now working again, if your bored, please feel free to call it a day, lol

Hey Liz...

I'm not bored....LOL.

While we got rid of the command service (part of the Alcan infection), there is still malware in your HJT log. The smsc.exe service entry that was present may indicate that a backdoor with a potential rootkit may have been on your system. I'm concerned that we cannot get the online scan or Ewido to work....and there is NEW malware now in your HJT log that wasn't there on the last scan, including 3 new backdoors that allow remote access to your machine. Your system is NOT clean, and I would not use it for any secure transactions. I would strongly consider immediately changing all passwords to secure accounts maintained on this machine, using a non-infected computer to do so. If you use this computer for financial transactions, I would carefully watch any financial account and consider alerting the financial institutions of the same.

The thing about backdoor/Rbot infections is that even if we 'clean' it, it would be impossible for us to know if the system was truly clean and secure. Remote access to your machine by some entity may cause 'unseen' damage, and there is open debate among the malware fighting community as to whether victims with these kind of infections should clean the machine or just wipe the HD clean and reinstall their OS (really the only way to ensure the infectino is removed).

Do you want to proceed and try to clean this computer or re-install the OS? Let me know....if you want to try and clean this machine, please read on.

Did you do the HJT 'fixes' and file deletions as I asked in my last post? Because all of the things I asked for you to 'fix' and delete are still present. I'm going to repeat some instructions below, and ask for you to do another kind of scan:

1. Go to Start | Run and type this in the box: services.msc
  • Locate these services, 'Update Manager' then right click and select properties.
  • Under Service Status: select Stop
  • In the drop down box labeled, Startup Type: select Disabled

2. Please re-open HiJackThis and select Do a system scan only. Then, check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

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

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.

2. Reboot into safe mode by restarting your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.

3. Please delete these folders using Windows Explorer (if present):
  • Click Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>Windows Explorer
  • Navigate to the listed folders, then right-click to select them and click delete


C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\ozuz

Please delete these files using Windows Explorer (if present):
  • Click Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>Windows Explorer
  • Navigate to the listed files, then right-click to select them and click delete:


C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\update\updmgr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsvc.exe


Perform a search for this file: winsis32.exe (click start>>search and type/paste the filename in the search box...make sure to search all files and folders on your hard drive. Delete it when found.

4. Reboot into Windows normally.

5. Download and Save Blacklight to your desktop:

  • Doubleclick on blbeta.exe.
  • Click on Scan.
  • Once the Scan is Finished, click on Next.
  • Click on Exit.
  • A new document will be produced on the desktop.
  • Open this document with Notepad.
  • Copy and Paste its contents in a reply.

Don't choose the rename option yet! I want to see the log first, because legitimate items can also be present there, such as "wbemtest.exe"

6. Download this file :

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


6. Post back with a new HJT log (after doing the HJT 'fixes' above), the Blacklight log and the combofix log.

Okee dokee, i did do your last HJT scan check instructions, but the machine did lock at the fix this stage, so might not have completed and I cannot remember if I did it again - I was trying to have a short life outside of my pc over the weekend!

I have just done the latest HJT scan check and fix and the only one I couldn't find and therefore check and fix was the line below:
O23 - Service: Windows Update Manager (UpdateManager) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\update\updmgr.exe

In safe mode, I couldn't find and therefore delete

:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\update\updmgr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsvc.exe

or find winsis32.exe to delete it, am starting to feel a little inadequate, lol

Anyway, ... all scsan result requests below - enjoy!!

Hello lblondon.....

I've been talking to other experts about your log and problems....I now also have concerns that your online anti-virus program may be corrupted and the RBot/SDBot infection may have severely altered your security settings. If this is the case, I continue to have concerns about whether we can truly clean this computer to ensure any degree of security. Is reformatting the HD and reinstalling the OS not an option for you?

I would seriously consider uninstalling McAfee and replacing it with one of these two alternatives:

AVG or Anti-Vir.


Please copy (Ctrl C) and paste (Ctrl V) the following text in the quote to Notepad. Save it as "All Files" and name it FixServices.bat. Please save it on your desktop.

sc stop cmdService
sc delete cmdService
sc stop "Windows Idle Process"
sc delete "Windows Idle Process"
sc stop UpdateManager
sc delete UpdateManager
exit


Double click FixServices.bat. A window will open and close. This is normal.

Please download the Killbox by Option^Explicit.

Note: In the event you already have Killbox, this is a new version that I need you to download.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please double-click Killbox.exe to run it.
  • Select:
    • Delete on Reboot
    • then Click on the All Files button.
  • Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\eraseme_04516.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\migicons.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrs.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\update\updmgr.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsvc.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsis32.exe



  • Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
  • Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click OK at any PendingFileRenameOperations prompt (and please let me know if you receive this message!).


If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run Killbox, click here to download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try Killbox again.


After doing this, please post another HJT log for me to review....

Hello lblondon....

I understand your hesitance to wipe the HD and reinstall the OS, let's give this a bit more work.

Your HJT log looks better, the 'bad' services that kept popping up are no longer present. The line that bothers me though is this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ntdll.dll] C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee.com\Agent\mcregwiz.exe /autorun


The first part of the line is usually indicative of an infection, but the file associated is usually legit. This is why I am uncertain if your McAfee program has been corrupted.

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ntdll.dll] C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee.com\Agent\mcregwiz.exe /autorun


Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.


Now that we have cleaned your system some, let's see if those scans we tried to run previously will run.


Reboot your computer into SafeMode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.

IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:
  • Lauch ewido-anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
  • Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".
  • ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
    Once the scan is complete do the following:
  • If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
  • Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
  • Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
  • Close ewido and reboot your system back into Normal Mode and post the results of the ewido report scan.

Please run the F-Secure Online Scanner

Note: This Scanner is for Internet Explorer Only!
  • Follow the Instruction Here for installation.
  • Accept the License Agreement.
  • Once the ActiveX installs,Click Full System Scan
  • Once the download completes,the scan will begin automatically.
  • The scan will take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan completes, click the Automatic cleaning (recommended) button.
  • Click the Show Report button and Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Post back with:
  • the Ewido log
  • the F-Secure scan results
  • a new HJT log


If the above scans won't run, please do the following:

Download WindPFind

Extract WinPFind.zip to your c:\ folder.

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode

Then open c:\WinPFind and double-click on WinPFind.exe.
When the program is open, click on the Start Scan button to start scanning your computer. Be patient as this scan may take a while.
When it is done, it will show a log and tell you the scan is completed. Reboot your computer back to normal mode and and post the contents of c:\WinPFind\WinPFind.txt as a reply to this topic.
