Hi Mike,
I have Googled all these files. The only real information I can find on them is their inclusion in other scans posted among the various sites. In some instances they are deleted,and in others they are not. Nothing lists them as good or useful files. Also, it looks like VSAPI32.DLL might be a component of a packing utility used by several vendors.
Okay, I'm going to assume the list of files will look something like this:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\NVMLNZ.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\System32\DPPSD.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\System32\GZHNGXR.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\System32\OBRXOAM.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mc-58-12-0000079.exe
C:\WINDOWS\CFindUninst.exe
C:\WINDOWS\TSC.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\XFQTDLL.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\XFQTENC.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\RMAgentOutput.dll
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\tnpu.exe

I've not even gotten over to the "Is this safe to post" forum, so I'm not sure of the format expected. I just joined this forum last week, and have not yet made it very far in the first level tutorials. I'm trying to learn in the tutorials but I've also been looking at the other posts in this forum to see how similar problems are being solved.

If you tell me this looks good, I'll post on that forum. In the mean time, I'll go look see what to expect there.

Looking forward to seeing what you and Susan say. I'm getting jazzed since I thought we might have to re-image when I first started trying to clean this one up.

Thanx
Tony

Hi Mike,
I don't yet have the ability to post on the "Is this safe to post" forum. You'll have to do that. I probably have to get a little further along in my training to do that. I do appreciate you taking the time to make this a training exercise for me though. I really am learning quite a bit. :P
Thanx
Tony

Hello tman181,

Looks like you are doing a fine job for your friend! Have you tried running Ewido? Maybe it would clear up some of those files. I would be curious to see what it would do.

http://www.malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtop ... t=qoologic

Ewido if up to date and ran in safe mode clears this pest, you will need to mention not to open any folder's or open the windows control panel while the scan is in progress.

Hey Tony!

Looks like you've picked everything out, but this one i'm not sure about. Some are removing it, and some aren't. Let's see if the file's properties will tell us something about it. Right click on TSC.EXE look under the version tab. We're looking to see the original program name, any company, copyright info, or anything else that might give the program away.

Other than that, we should be ready to begin deleting the files, and fixing the last remaining entry using HiJackThis - great job!

==========

Mike.

Hi Guys,
Okay, Susan thanx for the suggestion. No I had not yet run ewido. When I did run it, it found the five files which were the highest suspects and hopefully took care of them. The file tnpu.exe in the global startup directory had an error when ewido tried to delete it. But it has disappeared. Some of these files have a habit of doing that.
Anyway, I ran ewido twice and then got new logs from both hjt and find-qoologic. Here they are.

I guess it looks pretty good. I am going to hook this one up to the internet, update windows and verify we are clean.
Should I do something about any of the registry entries? It looks like the one :

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\qftsqyxf
<NO NAME> REG_SZ {57cee7bf-5da5-4e72-a21d-31ecdc5f1e85}

should be removed.

Above all else thanx for all the help. This has beena great experience for me.

Tony - great work again! Just a few files need to be manually deleted, with the registry fix being made that you were thinking below. Here's what 'Kotaguy was thinking also:

==========

TSC.EXE is, most likely, part of Trend's HouseCall scan.

There is still 5 files that need to be turfed:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\MC-58-~1.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\CFINDU~1.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\XFQTDLL.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\XFQTENC.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\RMAGEN~1.DLL

This reg entry might be gone after the rest of the files are deleted. If not, it will need a regfix:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\qftsqyxf
<NO NAME> REG_SZ {57cee7bf-5da5-4e72-a21d-31ecdc5f1e85}

Regfix would be this:

Quote:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\qftsqyxf]

==========

...It's been my pleasure.

Mike.

Sorry bout this... don't mean to jump in on the thread...

Hi Tony... just to clarify on what I had talked about with Mike...

By turfed, I mean KillBox them.

Close all open windows and programs, then start Killbox. Put a check next to "Delete on Reboot", then copy this line in "Full Path of File to Delete" box:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\MC-58-~1.EXE

Click the red and white "Delete File" button.
Click "Yes" at the first prompt .
Click "No" at the second.

Repeat those same steps for each of these files one at a time:

C:\WINDOWS\CFINDU~1.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\XFQTDLL.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\XFQTENC.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\RMAGEN~1.DLL


Exit Killbox when done.

The regfix... copy/paste the quotebox into a new notepad document.

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\qftsqyxf]


Name it fixme.reg. Save it to your Desktop. Save it as File Type All Files(not as a text document or it won't work). Double click fixme.reg and merge it into the registry when asked. Reboot to complete the change.

Post a new Qoologic log when done.

Thanks!

Hi guys,
Thanx once again for helping me through this one. When I started out, I thought I knew a little something, but soon found out that things just aren't what I thought they were. For years I have sworn by NAV and have always used it faithfully. I got a first hand lesson with this one how much it cannot fix once the infection makes it to the system. I am very impressed with the suite of tools you guys use, and the knowledge you have developed and most especially with the community you have made. You're all great, and I look forward to learning some more as I go through the MWU.
God bless you all.
Tony

ps, I will let you know if any of this gives me trouble, since I have not yet completed the final tasks. I have started downloading windows updates for this computer and scheduling tasks for the owner. He's a good friend but a bit lax on security issues. This was his wakeup call!!!
