Help with trojan

Unread postby ven » October 27th, 2006, 3:14 pm

I was notified by norton AV that I was infected with trojan brusky. As per this site http://www.precisesecurity.com/computer-virus/tbs-oct45.htm I ran AVG antispyware in safe mode and deleted what it found. I then rebooted in safe mode and used the smitfraudfix.cmd and cleaned the registry. I scanned with norton antivirus it found two files a gypqqqb.dll and smdjzqe.dll that it quarantined. Norton system security site had no fix for them and recommended deleting them which I did. The system still boots VERY slow, gets hung when I click on my start menu for 30-45 seconds. Also whenever I boot into windows it gives the error "file not found .../system32/gypqqqb.dll which is one of the files norton recommended deleting. I ran AVG antispyware again and deleted one program it found. I have run spybot and adaware. Here is smitfraudfix log and below that is the hijackthislog.

Go to Start > Control Panels > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the following programs if listed:
PuritySCAN By OIN, OIN, OuterInfo or similar.

Reboot and delete the folder below indicated in Bold text, if found:
C:\Program Files\PurityScan\

Next, please copy everything inside the quote box below (starting with dir) and paste it into notepad. Go up to "File > Save As" and click the drop-down box to change the "Save As Type" to "All Files". Save it as findfile.bat on your Desktop.

dir C:\WINDOWS\system32\w?nspool.exe /a h > files.txt
notepad files.txt


Locate findfile.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it. It will open Notepad with some text in it. Please post the contents of that Notepad here in your reply.

Next, please run HijackThis again and check the following:
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {B46688B4-4300-39F4-7762-127490A679E3} - F:\WINDOWS\system32\riyfhdkc.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Jxxaemqn] F:\Program Files\Common Files\s?stem32\w?nspool.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: winghy32 - winghy32.dll (file missing)


The next two items below are optional. You should read what is known about this software here:
O2 - BHO: Burn4Free Toolbar Helper - {60BF5EE3-0105-4858-AD98-17C19F86B042} - F:\Program Files\Burn4Free Toolbar\v3.2.0.0\Burn4Free_Toolbar.dll
O3 - Toolbar: Burn4Free Toolbar - {55FAF0F2-44D4-425F-B5F5-6B275B621EAB} - F:\Program Files\Burn4Free Toolbar\v3.2.0.0\Burn4Free_Toolbar.dll


Close all windows now except for the HijackThis application window then click Fix Checked.

Locate and delete the following files/folders indicated in Bold text:
NOTE DO NOT PERFORM A SEARCH FOR THESE FILES, YOU MUST NAVIGATE TO THE FILE WITH WINDOWS EXPLORER USING THE PATH SHOWN:
F:\WINDOWS\system32\gypqqqb.dll
F:\WINDOWS\system32\xvqzwfg
F:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\WALTER~1\MYDOCUMENTS\SMBOLS~1\rundll.exe
F:\WINDOWS\system32\winghy32.dll

Reboot the computer and post the contents of the text you saved in your blank Notepad from the findfile.bat along with a fresh HijackThis log. Thanks!

That log looks clean but I'd like to investigate something further. Please check to see that your printer or fax is in good working order and inform me of your findings on your next reply. Please note:
If you have more than one user profile on the computer, when you finish with all these instructions, please check each profile by logging on using that user name and running the HijackThis application. If any of the logs from those scans present ANY entries in the log that contain a question mark in the executable file (such as M?config.exe or similar), please post THOSE LOGS.

The PurityScan infection that you had is peculiar in the world of malware infections as it inserts unicode cyrillic characters that resemble latin characters. As such, these characters cannot be read by non-unicode applications. It's the "?" that appears in the HijackThis log entries that tell on this malware. The infected systems will download and display advertisements that you most probably DO NOT want.

To make sure that your family computer is well protected against this type of behavior, please continue with the following instructions:

You would also benefit by running an update of all your protective software manually just to make certain everything is up to date i.e. Antivirus, Antispyware and Antitrojan software. You should scan with each of those one at a time in safe mode. Allow the software to quarantine whatever it finds and please report any findings in your next reply as well.

Next, please perform this online scan: F-Secure Online Scanner Next Generation Beta
1. Click on the link "F-Secure Online Scanner Next Generation Beta".
2. You may receive an alert on the address bar at this point to install the ActiveX control.
3. Click on that alert and then Click Insall ActiveX component.
4. Read the license agreement and click "Accept".
5.Click "Custom Scan" and be sure the following are checked:
  • Scan whole System
  • Scan all files
  • Scan whole system for rootkits
  • Scan whole system for spyware
  • Scan inside archives
  • Use advanced heuristics

6. When the scan completes, click the "I want to decide item by item" button.
7. For each item found, Select "Disinfect" and click "Next".
8. When done, click the "Show Report" button, then copy and paste the entire report into your next reply and don't forget to mention the condition of your printer and any other findings from your safe mode scans or other user profile HijackThis log scans that contain the telltale question mark as described above. Thanks!

Now that your system is clean, let's create a new restore point.
Please click "Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore"
In the new window, check the 'Create a restore point' in the right pane and click "Next".
In the "Restore point description" textbox, name your restore point to something you will easily recognize. I recommend something like yyyymmdd_Clean (ex. 20060101_Clean)
Click "Create" and reboot your computer.

In the future, there are some things you can do to prevent spyware infections:

Install the following freeware programs:
SpywareGuard
Spywareblaster

Keep your anti-virus and spyware definitions up to date. Be sure to scan often.

If you do not have a firewall, here are a couple freeware firewalls you can install:
Kerio Personal Firewall
Zone Alarm


Stay updated with the most recent Windows patches using
Microsoft's Windows Update.

Using an alternate browser can reduce your chance of certain infections installing themselves. We recommend installing Mozilla Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org

If you still wish to use Internet Explorer, please make sure you install SpywareBlaster (from above) to protect you from most ActiveX infections.

Run CCleaner often
or Disk Cleanup ("Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup" ) and check off the following:
Downloaded Program Files, Temporary Internet Files, Recycle Bin, and Temporary Files

So how did I get infected in the first place?
Regards, and Happy Surfing!
