Deep Spyware Popup Issue

Unread postby firefreak » November 17th, 2009, 10:14 am

Hi,

My name is Matthew Faust

Ok, I have a deep spyware issue. Every 5-10 minutes a spyware popup ensures. My Trend Toolbar Stoops it from opening the contents but trend Micro or any other program cant remove the pop-up. It is one of the most notorious URL.URTBUK ones.

It is very annoying. I work on a game and I cant afford to have a URL.UTBUK pop-up happen after a few clicks of firefox.

I suspect the System32 directory, as my Windows folders have MANY random file names in them. Some are suspicious but im afraid to touch any. I ALWAYS update windows and check manually all the time. All software is always up-to-date.

My Hi-Jack this Log:

Hello... Welcome to the forum.

My name is Wingman, and I'll be helping you with any malware problems.
The logs I request can take a while to research, so please be patient.

I am currently under the guidance of the MRU teachers, everything I post to you, has been reviewed by them.
This additional review process can add some extra time to my responses...but not too much
.
;)

Before we begin...please read and follow these important guidelines, so things will proceed smoothly.
  1. The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!
    Using these instructions on a different computer can cause damage to that computer and possibly render it inoperable!
  2. DO NOT run any other fix or removal tools unless instructed to do so!
  3. DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process. This adds more items to be researched.
  4. Only- post your problem at (1) one help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.
  5. Print each set of instructions...if possible...your Internet connection will not be available during some fix processes.
  6. Only- reply to this thread, do not start another ... Please, continue responding, until I give you the "All Clean"

I am currently reviewing your log and will return, as soon as possible, with additional instructions. In the meantime...
Please take time to read the Malware Removal Forum Guidelines and Rules where the conditions for receiving help at this forum are explained.

Please read all instructions carefully before executing and perform the steps, in the order given.
lf, you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Step 1.
HJT - Uninstall Manager Log
Using Vista, you must right click (hijackthis.exe) and choose "Run As Administrator".
    Please run HijackThis Located in: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\hijackthis.exe
      If you are on the "scan & fix stuff" page... Press the "Main Menu"...button.
  1. From the Main Menu...Press the "Open the Misc Tools"...button.
  2. Press the "Open Uninstall Manager... button.
  3. Press only the Save List...button.
  4. Press the "Save" button. The file "uninstall_list.txt" will be saved in your HJT folder.
  5. Copy and paste the contents of "uninstall_list.txt' in your next reply.

Step 2.
Please include in your next reply:
  1. HJT uninstall_list.txt file contents
Thanks,
Wingman

Hi Matthew,

Please do not make any changes to your system, by installing new software/hardware, do not run any "fix" programs and/or remove any files unless instructed to do so, by me.
Please read these instructions carefully before executing and then perform the steps, in the order given.
lf you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Step 1.
CKScanner
Please download CKScanner ... Save it to your desktop.
Make sure that CKScanner.exe is on the your desktop before running the application!
  1. Double-click on the CKScanner.exe icon... then click the Search For Files button.
    Using Vista, you must right click the (CKScanner.exe) icon and choose "Run As Administrator", then click the "Search For Files" button.
  2. When the scan is finished (the cursor hourglass disappears) click the Save List To File button.
    A text file will be created on your desktop named "ckfiles.txt"
  3. Click OK at the file saved message box. Double-click on the ckfiles.txt icon on your desktop.
  4. Please copy/paste the contents of ckfiles.txt in your next reply.

Step 2.
GMER
The downloaded file will have a random name... this prevents malware from detecting and blocking it.
Please download GMER... random file name.exe by GMER. An alternate (zip file) download site.
Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.
**Caution** Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

Before I continue, two things. One, I had a phase were I had alot of torrents. I have unistalled before i began, all p2p programs and basically all my cracked or torrented programs. Alot of the files in the step 1 scan are scraps left over.

Two, I cant go any further that step 2. Every time I run it, when it is running for about 17 seconds (same prob as ad-aware scan), it shuts down the program. With or without all programs open or closed. On GMER, it seems to end when it hits volumeshadowcopy3 or something like that. This is very suspicous as it happens with two programs now.

Also, my computer is doing some strange activity recently. My system32 folder has 3.58GB in size, 20, 152 files and 1,571 folders. Something is up here as my trend micro is picking up a threat called TROJ_CODEC.XXX

Actually just now as I opened a IE page via Trend Micro for threat info the pop-up came. It had been silent recently as i cut down on using internet but now as I browse again its back.

Trend Page: http://threatinfo.trendmicro.com/vinfo/ ... _CODEC.XXX
Pop-up page: http://url.urtbk.com/cpv.jsp?p=111211&a ... Id=7562545

Something is different here, as the URTBK pop-up opens after browsing a few pages. Also, both URLS are similar.

So, with that said, I believe I have more malware then I thought. Here is My step 1 log:

Ok, I few troubles with GMER.

But first, computer behaviour. Since the only browsing im doing until the malware is removed is this forum and hotmail, the pop-up hasnt shown. This is probably only because I havent been full out browsing, leaving it with not enough pages to pop-up. Other than that, everything is normal, except that the trojan thing is constantly detected by Trend Micro and that the System32 folder grows larger.

Step 1: Full Success

I have uninstalled every possible adobe program or component. I finally feel free of the knowledge that I have cracked software on my laptop. Everything went well here.

Step 2: Strange but good.

I have only the commands log. For some reason it froze just before it went onto the commands so I lost the first half of the log. So I then ran the commands part by itself and it worked, giving me a log of that. And the file moving was succesful. So altogether went well.

Commands Log:

Everything fine here

Step 4: Complete Failure

I started the computer in safe mode, ran GMER in safe mode and it failed grousemly. I ran it the first time, and it had to shut down GMER the minute it began. So, i ran it again and the second i pressed scan the computer said ERROR in that blue screen and had to reboot. I tried the exact same thing again and got the same results.

So, im stuck again at GMER.

Hi Matthew,

Sorry for the delay in replying... with the forum being very busy and the Thanksgiving holiday, responses can take a little extra time. Remember I am under the guidance of MRU teachers, so I must wait until they respond to my suggested post, before I can post it to you, this also adds some additional time.
Know that I am going to stick with you until we have resolved any malware problems you have or have exhausted all possible fixes.

Thanks for hanging in there, these cleanups can be tedious. :)

I would like to try the GMER scan one more time... note the additional item to uncheck in the list. If the GMER step still refuses to run, please continue with the rest of the steps. There is still a crack file/folder that needs to be removed, so we'll run the OTM step again, see note regarding downloading again..

Please do not make any changes to your system, run any "fix" programs and/or remove any files unless instructed to do so, by me.

Please read these instructions carefully before executing and then perform the steps, in the order given.
lf, you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Please print these instructions, as you will be asked to reboot your computer and will not have access to them. [


Let's try the GMER scan again... still trying to run it in SAFE MODE.[/b]
Boot to SAFE Mode
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts you will see your computer's hardware being listed.
- Press the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Windows Vista Advanced Boot Options.
- Select the Safe Mode option using the arrow keys. (Do Not select Safe Mode with Network...)
- Press the enter key, to boot into Vista Safe Mode.

Step 1.
GMER
Make sure you are in SAFE MODE, before executing
Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.
**Caution** Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries
  1. Double click on the random named.exe to execute. If asked, allow the gmer.sys driver load.
    Using Vista, you must right click random named.exe and choose "Run As Administrator".
  2. If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO <--- Important!
  3. On the right side panel, several boxes have been checked. Please UNCHECK the following: (see image below)
    • Sections
    • IAT/EAT
    • Devices <<--- New item to uncheck!
    • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
    • Show All <-- don't miss this one

  4. If you don't get a warning then... Click the Rootkit/Malware tab at the top of the GMER window.
  5. Click the Scan button.
  6. Once the scan has finished... click Copy.
  7. Open Notepad and paste (Ctrl+V) what you copied.
  8. Select "Save As" in Notepad...saving the file to your desktop as "gmerRK.txt"... then close Notepad.
  9. Copy and paste the contents of the files gmerRK.txt in your next reply.

Reboot your computer normally now, before proceeding!

Step 2.
OTM
Please delete the existing OTM.exe file on your desktop and download again. This program has been updated since we began.
  1. Please download OTM.exe...by Old Timer. Save it to your desktop.
  2. Right click on OTM.exe and select Run As Administrator to run it. If Windows UAC prompts, please allow it.
  3. Please copy and paste the text in the Code box below, into OTM (1).
    Please refer to the OTM screen image below, for reference.
    Warning: Do not type it out... errors could damage your machine.
    Code: Select all
    :Processes
    :Files

    :Commands
    [EmptyTemp]
    [Start Explorer]
    [Reboot]
    


    Please refer to this image to use OTM.

  4. Click on MoveIt! (2)
  5. The end results of the processing will be in 2 places:
    • The Results window on the right side of the OTM screen.
    • A log (text) file created in "C:\_OTM\MovedFiles\mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log"
  6. Copy all the text from the Results window... Open Notepad, paste the OTM results into the Notepad file, save it on your desktop.
  7. Click Exit (3) when done.
  8. Please paste the entire content from the OTM (Results) window (Notepad file) or the OTM log file, in your next reply.
NOTE: If your computer did not automatically reboot... please reboot it (normally) now!

Step 3.
RSIT (Random's System Information Tool)
Please download RSIT by random/random... save it to your desktop.
  1. Right click on RSIT.exe and select "Run As Administrator" to run it. If Windows UAC prompts you, please allow it.
  2. Please read the disclaimer... click on Continue.
  3. RSIT will start running. When done... 2 logs files...will be produced.
    The first one, "log.txt", <<will be maximized... the second one, "info.txt", <<will be minimized.
  4. Please post both... "log.txt" and "info.txt", file contents in your next reply.
(These logs can be lengthy, so post 1 log per reply please.)

Step 4.
SysProt AntiRootkit
If you successfully ran the GMER step, bypass this step. Otherwise...
Please download SysProt.zip ... by swatkat. Save it to your desktop.
Alternate download sites include: Softpedia, MajorGeeks, BetaNews and FreewareGeeks
If you have a 3rd party "unzipping" program...use it to open the zipped file...then skip to Step 5. Otherwise...
  1. Right click on SysProt.zip and select "Extract All"....
  2. Click Next on the "Welcome to the Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard."
  3. Click on the Browse...button, then click on Desktop, then click OK.
  4. Once done, check (tick) the Show extracted files box and click Finish.
  5. Open the SysProt folder... Double click Sysprot.exe to start the program.
    Using VISTA, you must right-click "Sysprot.exe" and select "Run As Administrator", to start the program.
  6. Click on the Log tab.
  7. In the Write to log box... check ALL items... then check Hidden Objects Only at the bottom of the window.
  8. Click the Create Log button... (After a few seconds a new window should appear.)
  9. Select Scan root drive only... then click the Start button, to begin scanning.
    When completed, a window appears indicating the scan finished & a log file was successfully created.
    The SysProt folder on your desktop, will contain the scan results file named "SysProtLog.txt".
  10. Please copy and paste the contents of SysProtLog.txt into your next reply.

Step 5.
Please include in your next reply:

  2. GMER gmerRK.txt file contents
  3. OTM results
  4. RSIT log.txt and info.txt file contents
  5. SysProt SysProtLog.txt file contents (if applicable).
  6. How is the computer behaving?

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for keeping me up-to-date.

Because it is going to be almost another week before you will be able to reply, I am going to suggest we close this topic.
Then when you have time to pursue your computer issues, please post a new HJT log in the Malware Removal forum and wait for another helper.
This is being suggested for several reasons:
  • Some malware can morph overtime and appear differently or cause different / additional problems. By postponing steps to resolve existing issues, it may present a totally different situation, when next investigated.
  • It takes the pressure off of you to respond within a given time frame, especially when you have a lot going on.
  • It frees me to begin helping others, now, who are looking for assistance.
So, I will request this topic be closed. Please return when you have the time and a volunteer helper will be glad to assist you.

Thanks... hope the move goes well. :)
