HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen removal

[btrabdon]

It's doing well for one that's six years old. The one thing that happened as I was running Kaspersky last night was I got a whole bunch of Avira notifications like this:

Virus or unwanted program 'TR/Trash.Gen [trojan]'
detected in file 'C:\System Volume Information\_restore{543848E5-A971-4387-BA47-9852573A650F}\RP170\A0020189.dll.
Action performed: Deny access

or

Virus or unwanted program 'TR/Vundo.Gen [trojan]'
detected in file 'C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\__c009E4D0.dat.vir.
Action performed: Deny access

Is that because Kaspersky was scanning those files at the time?

That's correct. Kaspersky was scanning those files at the time, we'll get rid of them now.

If there are no more problems, then you are good to go.

You can delete RSIT.exe, C:\RSIT, and the two RSIT logs.

To remove ComboFix, do the following:

Go to Start > Run - type in ComboFix /u & click OK

Empty your Recycle Bin.


Please take the time to read my All Clean Post.

Please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point

• Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
• Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
• Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
• Make sure the C:\ drive is selected and click OK. If your computer's Hard Drive is not located on C:, change it to the correct drive letter then click OK.
• Select the More options tab
• Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
• This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

.

Clearing your restore points is not something you should do on a regular basis. Normally, this process only needs to be done after clearing out an infestation of malware.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure This can be done by following these simple instructions:

• Use An Antivirus Software and Keep It Updated - It is very important that your computer has an antivirus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. It is imperative that you update your antivirus software at least once a day. If you do not update your antivirus software, then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
• Visit Microsoft's Update Site Frequently It is important that you visit Microsoft Updates regularly. This will ensure your computer has the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
• Install SpywareBlaster SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. An article on anti-malware products with links for this program and others can be found here:

• Use the hosts file: Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate web pages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain web pages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional. Download mvps hosts file Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial HERE If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  
  1. Click the start button on the task bar at the bottom of your screen
  2. Click run
  3. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  4. hit enter, then locate dns client
  5. Highlight it, then doubleclick it.

• Please read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place
• Please read Understanding Spyware, Browser Hijackers, and Dialers
• Please read Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet
• If you are using Internet Explorer, please consider using an alternate browser: Mozilla's Firefox or
  Opera.
  If you decide to use either FireFox or Opera, it is very important that you keep them up to date and check frequently for updates of the browser of your choice.
• Update all these programs regularly Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
• If your computer was infected by a website, a program, IM, MSN, or p2p, check this site because it is Time To Fight Back.

Follow these steps and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Alright, I got rid of the RSIT program and ComboFix.
I still have the Spyware Terminator and Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. Do I need to keep either/any of them?

Thank you so much for all the help. I never would have been able to figure it out alone. =P

You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to help you out.

You can keep both Spyware Terminator and MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware, just be sure to update them each time before doing a scan with them.

Good luck and safe surfing!
