Vundo Variant HELP!!

Unread postby NTTexas » April 22nd, 2008, 12:53 pm

All,

I think I have a Vundo Variant Virus on my computer. My internet has slowed dramatically, the Vundo Pop-ups are appearing everywhere. I believe my IEXPLORER and EXPLORER files are infected. My registry is constantly being changed (according to MCAffee). I tried all removal tools and none work. I need some serious help!!! Here is my HIJACKTHIS log.

P2P PROGRAMS

IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Person to Person) File Sharing Programs on your computer.

BitTorrent

I'd like you to read the Guidelines for P2P Programs where we explain why it's not a good idea to have them.

Also available here.

My recommendation is you go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the programs listed above (in red).

If you wish to keep them, please do not use them until your computer is cleaned.


Step 1:
We will begin with ComboFix.exe which can be downloaded from one of the links below.

Please visit this webpage for instructions for running the tool:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix


Link 1
Link 2
Link 3


**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

  1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

  2. Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt


Step 2:
Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe.
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/proc...processutil.htm


Step 3:
There might be an infection hiding from HijackThis, so we need to rename it.

Please go to the C:\Internet Downloads\HiJackThis.exe. Right click on the HijackThis.exe file and select "Rename". Rename it NTTexas.exe then run it and do a system scan and post the log into your next reply.

Due to lack of response this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
