Computer running slower than it is supposed to be

Unread postby Mark2206 » November 15th, 2009, 10:31 am

Dear Sir/Madam

At this moment I have the feeling that my computer might be suffering from some kind of malware, which is not really visible, but makes it run slower. Also, I am starting to have problems with Internet Explorer because it becomes 'non responding' several times per day. Sometimes, I have this problem for other applications as well.

My computer is secured by Symantec Antivirus and the last weeks it often reports that it has removed a file which has something to do with the following Trojan.Swifi:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2009-072317-0730-99
Today, it also report also 4 files of another type of virus:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/cgi-bin/virauto.cgi?vid=39776

Both of these seem to be not very harmfull, but the messages keep coming so there might be a bigger problem. A full system scan was not able to fix it.

Hopefully someone is able to look at my HJT-log, which is posted below.

Thank you in advance,

Mark

Hi Mark2206,
that is a heuristic detection, meaning an older flash player may have a vulnerability.

It is posted here: http://malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=33112
As a condition of receiving our help, I have included the P2P program BitComet in the removal instructions below, so we are not wasting our time.
------------------------------------------------
Remove Programs Using Control Panel(Vista)
From Start, Control Panel, click on Uninstall a program under the Programs heading.
Right click each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, choose Uninstall/Change, and give permission to Continue:
BitComet
Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller. Some questions may be worded to deceive you into Keeping the program.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Remove Registry items with HighjackThis. Start HijackThis.
Click Do System Scan Only. When the Scan is complete, Check the following entries:

Make sure Every other window except HJT is closed (No other tabs showing in the bottom tray), and Click Fix Checked
Click the "X" in the upper right corner of the HiJackThis window to close it.

Dear Askey,

I have done anything that you asked me to do.
The flash player version that I was:
WIN 10,0,32,18
According to the table below this was the latest version already, which makes the detections quite strange imo?

Is my computer clean? I dont know yet if I still have problems with internet explorer or these detections.

Please let me know if you need anything.

Now let's see if there is anything on the machine that shouldn't be there.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Retrieve the List of Installed programs Using HJT
Open HijackThis, click Open The Misc Tools Section. Then scroll down the list if you need to, click Open Uninstall Manager and Save List...
The List of installed programs will automatically be saved as uninstall_list.txt in your HiJackThis folder.
In addition, the list opens in Notepad so you can also save as another name in another location if you wish.
Please paste the contents into your next reply.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download and Run MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
Please go here to the Download Location, click on Download.
  • After clicking on the download and choosing Save, the "Save to location" dialog will come up.
  • Click the browse folders button, then click on Desktop on the left as the location for the installer and click Save again. Close the dialog when the download is complete.
  • You should now have a desktop icon named mbam-setup.exe.
  • Right click it, choose Run as administrator and Continue
  • Let it install where it wants to, with the default settings, and click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. A shield symbol will show on the desktop icon while it is updating, and will disappear when it's done.
  • If necessary, start Malwarebytes Anti-Malware again.
  • Once the program has started up, select Perform Quick Scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • If it found any malware items. Check all items except items in the C:\System Volume Information folder... and click Remove Selected.
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location, and post the contents in your reply.
  • The log can also be found using the "Logs" tab in the program. You can click any log listed to open its contents. The logs are listed and named by time/date stamp.

Dear Askey,

I have performed all the actions. In the meanwhile Symantec again came up with the notification that it had to delete files from the Bloodhound.Exploit.193 and the Trojan.Swifi virus. So there might still be something in my computer.

My local C: drive has 34.3 GB of memory in use and 40.6 is still free.

The log of the Kaspersky scan is atttached below, this one found something.

Thank you in advance!

Mark2206,
The items showing in the Symantec Quarantine have been rendered harmless.
This should take care of the remaining items.
----------------------------------------------------------
Download and Install CCleaner
  • Download the CCleaner Installer from here . Choose the Slim version. You can save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on ccsetupXXX_slim.exe to start the installation of CCleaner. (XXX is the version number)
  • Click OK
  • Click Next
  • Click I agree
  • Click Next
  • Click Install
  • Once the installation has finished, click Finish
You can now delete the installer ccsetupxxx_slim.exe from your desktop.

Start CCleaner.
Click the Options icon on the left, and Uncheck the box labeled Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours.
Click the Cleaner icon in the upper left
It will come up in the Windows tab (at the top)
Under Internet Explorer, check averything except Autocomplete Form History
Under Windows Explorer, check all the boxes
Under System, check all but the last two shortcuts boxes
Under Advanced, check only the first box Old prefetch data
Now Click the Applications tab at the top
Check every box on that page.
Close any otheropen windows, especially any browser
In the lower right of the Window, click Run Cleaner

When it is done you can reset CCleaner for normal operation and keep it if you wish.
Click the Options icon on the left, and Check the box labeled Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours.
(Be aware that if you perform a CCleaner update through the main website, the update may include a prechecked Yahoo toolbar, which I would advise you to reject).

I would then reboot and run a full scan with your Symantec Anti-Virus and note carefully anything it removes.
Let me know how it goes.

Dear Askey,

I performed the task with CCleaner and ran a full scan with Symantec afterwards and it did not report any threads.

So far I have not received any warnings of infections yet and IE seems to function better, allthough it sometimes still has the tendency to become non responding. However, this might also have nothing to do with any malware or things like that.

Is there anything else that I should do?

Thanks for the help!

Mark,
A couple items:
You should update your Java. We will do that here.

I am not sure about Holland Poker, but I can tell you that 99% of all poker sites deliver tracking and/or infectious material to "customers", usually without notice.
The only exception we know of as clean is PokerStars, which I see you have also.

------------------------------------------------
Remove Programs Using Control Panel(Vista)
From Start, Control Panel, click on Uninstall a program under the Programs heading.
Right click each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, choose Uninstall/Change, and give permission to Continue:

Java(TM) 6 Update 15

Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller. Some questions may be worded to deceive you into Keeping the program.
------------------------------------------------------------
Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment here : http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp, and install it to your computer.
Scroll down - It is currently the 5th item on the page (the page changes often), called JRE 6 Update 17
Select Windows and multi-language, and check to agree to the license.
Choose Windows Offline installation version.
Download it, choose Save, and save it to your desktop.
Right-click it and "Run As Administrator", and it will install the newest version of Java for you to use.
You can then remove the Installer from your desktop.

Your machine looks clean to me now. Good luck.

Thank you for all the help.
