ctv.exe virus problem

Unread postby lipe.gpsc » October 30th, 2009, 8:04 am

I am having trouble with something that I've found in the internet, it is a virus called ctv.exe. It keeps appearing under different names, such as ctv110.exe, ctv93.exe, etc. AVG keeps finding it and no matter how many times I delete it, it just keep coming back to the same folder (windows\temp).

Here it is the Hijackthis logfile:

Hi,

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
  • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.

Download GMER here by clicking download exe -button and then saving it your desktop:
  • Double-click .exe that you downloaded
  • Click rootkit-tab and then scan.
  • Don't check
    Show All
    box while scanning in progress!
  • When scanning is ready, click Copy.
  • This copies log to clipboard
  • Attach log in your reply.

Hi again,

Remove P2P software
While looking over your log, I have noticed the following Peer-to-Peer filesharing programs are present on your computer:

uTorrent

These programs are the #1 source of infected systems. Although the software itself can be clean, the files you download are often infected with malware. Because of this, we do not allow P2P software present on machines we're cleaning anymore..

This means you must remove the above Peer-to-Peer filesharing programs and any others present on your machine. For an fully explanation of our policy, please read the following P2P Program Policy.

You can uninstall these programs in the Control Panel -> Add/remove Programs. Please do so and follow steps below:


Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

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, link
    Remember to re-enable them afterwards.

  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
New dds log.


A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.

Due to a 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.
