Angry Virus/Spyware - Extremely slow, pop-up porn and more!!!

My PC has drastically slowed down in performance. I can not seem to navigate through the internet due to slow response and sometimes when sitting idle, a pop-up porn page will come up. I have several children in the household and I am not sure which one has clicked the wrong thing, but something has happened. Please help me asap. I have attached/copied a hijackthis log for review. Any/All help GREATLY appreciated!

Re: Virus/Spyware - Extremely slow, pop-up porn and more!!!

You are not running HijackThis (HJT) from a desired location. You really need to setup a dedicated folder for HJT items – to avoid horrible clutter and potential lost backup issues.

It's best that the HijackThis tool NOT be located in its current location (particularly on your Desktop or in a TEMP folder). This way you can more easily undo any changes if something goes wrong.

Create a new folder in your C: Drive. Name it HJT (or HijackThis) such as C:\Program Files\HJT, C:\HJT and move the HijackThis.exe file in it. Run HJT from there (and revise your shortcut accordingly).




Uninstall MyWebSearch (Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs)



Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4

Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.

Click the Scan for Vundo button.

Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.

You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
Turn your computer back on.

Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.



There will be more to do. Let us know how things have improved.

Well, I am atleast able to navigate through the internet and get some homework done now. It does not freeze the way it did prior to performing these tasks you suggested. I am forever grateful. Below is the hijackthis log and the vundofix log.

Re: Virus/Spyware - Extremely slow, pop-up porn and more!!!

Read over the following directions. Ask if anything appears unclear to you.


Download Clean.bat to your desktop: for later use to clean out your TEMPORARY and PREFETCH files.
http://www.thatcomputerguy.us/downloads/clean.bat



We will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet. Accordingly, it is probably a good idea to print out the following directions or copy them to a text file on your desktop using NOTEPAD. Read these instructions carefully and feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything.

SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:

O2 - BHO: RawExecAction Object - {18898424-E3AB-4BA9-8E8D-5434B1CECA75} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmnlj.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [COMCASTSUPPORT] C:\Program Files\Support.com\bin\tgkill.exe /cleaneahtioga /start

O16 - DPF: {1D4DB7D2-6EC9-47A3-BD87-1E41684E07BB} - http://ak.imgfarm.com/images/nocach...tup1.0.0.15.cab
O16 - DPF: {CA034DCC-A580-4333-B52F-15F98C42E04C} (Downloader Class) - https://www.stopzilla.com/_download...ller/dwnldr.cab

Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one!
CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.



HIDDEN FILES: To make sure you can see all hidden files, please follow the directions here

SAFEMODE: Boot into safe mode by tapping the F8 key at restart and choosing 'safe mode' menu option (explained here if needed).



Delete TEMPORARY FILES: Now, hunt down the most common temporary file locations and the temporary file clutter contained therein (and of possible malware hiding places):

Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE and hit enter.
When prompted select the C: drive and click ok.
Check the boxes for:
  • Temporary Internet Files
  • Downloaded Program Files
  • Recycle Bin
  • Temporary Files
Click OK or Enter

For additional, more thorough cleaning and for multi-profile user configurations:
(*) Run Clean.bat to clean up your TEMPorary files.

***** Clean out the Recycle Bin for items removed below, ONLY once you have regained the full functional use of your PC.




Navigate to these files or folders using Windows Explorer (OR Start -> Search) and delete (if present):


DELETE FILES:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\sfg145f.dll




DELETE APPLICATION FOLDERS:
  1. Go to Add/Remove Programs
  1. In Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs look for any CLEARLY related entries for unwanted items listed below (or anything else you need to investigate or did not put in there).


    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager
    C:\Program Files\Support.com


  2. UNINSTALLER Alternate SEARCH: Otherwise, advisable to locate and try right-clicking on any of the given SEARCH FOLDER items ABOVE and further search (tick include subdirectories) for the following exact text:

    *UNIN*.EXE, *UNW*.EXE

    This may reveal an uninstaller with label terms such as '...uninstall...EXE', ‘unins000’, or 'unwise.EXE'. Double-click that EXE, if one is found, to remove that particular FOLDER and its contents. Thereafter, check to ensure that the folder is completely gone. Otherwise, consider deleting the folder in question.


(DELETE Other Misc. FOLDERS):

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\APPLICation Data\LIVEDELETENAMEKNOB



POST A REVISED HIJACKTHIS LOG for review:
Reboot and post a new HijackThis log with any feedback as appropriate - how things are now behaving: any new or remaining apparent issues.

Re: Virus/Spyware - Extremely slow, pop-up porn and more!!!

Have I said how grateful I am that a site like this exists with such helpful people?

Well, have gone through your directions and found just one thing:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\sfg145f.dll
This file did not exist; there was an SFG icon but I did nothing with it.

I did go into my MSCONFIG to remove some programs from loading during startup. I am hoping this will also help with the performance.

I am navigating fairly well again. I do appreciate your help. Here is today's log.

Re: Virus/Spyware - Extremely slow, pop-up porn and more!!!

Fix this additional item in HijackThis:

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://bar.mywebsearch.com/menusearc...p=ZSYYYYYYYYUS


Do you have any idea what this application is for. Add/Remove it in Control Panel otherwise:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [FILMATOM] C:\PROGRA~1\MESSVI~1\AudioSect.exe




Might want to try these scans in case something else is interfering with your PC:



Please download, install, update and scan your system with the free (trial) version of Ewido trojan scanner:
  1. When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
  2. When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
  3. From the main ewido screen, click on update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.
  4. After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful"), click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click on the Start button. This scan can take quite a while to run, so time to go get a drink and a snack....
  5. If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. You can select "clean" and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup" before clicking on OK.
  6. When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file. Please then paste the contents of the text file to this thread.


REBOOT.




Please do an online scan (scan only tool) with Kaspersky WebScanner

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
      - Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
    • Scan Options:
      - Scan Archives
      - Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:
    • Select My Computer
  • This program will start and scan your system.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
    • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Re: Virus/Spyware - Extremely slow, pop-up porn and more!!!

Delete the following files in SAFE MODE, if necessary:
C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\My Documents\backups\backup-20040817-173041-903.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ssttq.dll



The mIRC items are considered to be RISKWARE and are reported by Kaspersky to be infected. mIRC should be first uninstalled (Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs) and any remaining associated files/folders deleted:
Quote:
C:\Excursion9.5\Download\mIRC_6.14_[keygen_by_ACME].zip
C:\Excursion9.5\mIRC.ExCurSioN.exe
C:\Program Files\mIRC\download\excursion9.5.install.exe
C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.exe

The remaining items are infected 'restore points' which might be useable to reinstate their infected content. They can be removed in a subsequent procedure (below).







Since a VUNDO infection did show up in Kaspersky lets run the following to be sure nothing of it still remains:

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4

Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.

Click the Scan for Vundo button.

Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.

You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
Turn your computer back on.

Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.







When you are satisfied that your issues are resolved, please read over the following:

To help avoid serious infection again, please look carefully at this post for some excellent preventative measures. Prevention must be made the first line of defense to improve upon.



ONLY ONCE you are as clean as possible from any needed cleanup steps - As a final cleanup step (after serious infection), it may be advisable to Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove any bad files that may have been backed up by Windows . The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing them. And, this is the only complete way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which could likely be infected, anyway.)

PLEASE NOTE: you will need to log into your computer with an account that has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

To reduce the re-infection potential for malware and protect your PC against spyware, here are a few helpful suggestions:
  1. Keep Windows and Internet Explorer current with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft . This will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer . You CANNOT complete this update using an alternate browser – you must use Internet Explorer.
    http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5co...t.aspx?ln=en-us
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp
    • http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11273
      If you surf to questionable (blockable) parts of the Web, you could encounter sites that compromise your PC without any user interaction. In experiments [reported Aug 2005], Microsoft identified 752 specific addresses owned by 287 Web sites that contain programs able to install themselves on a completely unpatched Windows XP system. Also, be aware that the WinXP Service Pack 2 was an update that focused almost exclusively on security. Also reported was that a fully patched Windows XP SP2 system cannot be compromised by any such discovered rogue Web sites.

  2. Run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep its definitions up-to-date. If you are thinking about switching (using a real-time AV tool only one at a time), there are some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.
    AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
    Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

  3. In addition to using Ad-aware, consider using another free malware scanning/removal program :
    Adaware SE: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Person...ubj=dl&tag=top5
    Spybot S&D: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest...tml?tag=lst-0-1
    MS Antispyware beta: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx

  4. Consider using a free firewall if you are not already using one (use only one firewall at a time – normally you will need to disable the MS firewall). Some good free ones (for incoming and added outgoing traffic protection) are:
    Kerio Personal Firewall: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm
    *** After 30 days, Kerio shuts down selected features, but will continue to run in 'free' mode.
    Zone Alarm: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/comparison.jsp?lid=ho_za

    It is not a bad idea to also consider using a Router/Hardware firewall device where you have a High-Speed Internet access connection. A software firewall may occasionally need to be disabled or it gets/remains disabled by someone or something. Such an added layer of security consistency has a lot of merit to it.

  5. Consider using an alternate free browser for general web surfing but you must use IE for windows updates.
    Mozilla Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

  6. Consider increasing your browser security by using these programs:
    SpywareGuard will help protect your homepage from being hijacked: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
    SpywareBlaster will increase browser protection by blocking access to thousands of known malware sites by adding them to IE's restricted sites zone. It essentially blocks known- bad ActiveX program items from being installed or running on your computer. Download it here: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
  7. A HOSTS file can block Internet access to thousands of known-bad sites by not allowing you any easy browser access to such sites knowingly or unknowingly. Use HJT to determine if a current HOSTS file exists and any contents therein:
    • Run the HiJackThis tool and select ‘Open the Misc Tools section’.
    • Next select ‘Open host file manager’ button.
    • Use the ‘Open in Notepad’ button in XP/W2K or use WORDPAD if necessary [type wordpad.exe in the RUN box (Start>Run)] and load the FILE PATH identified in HJT.
    • Go to http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt . # Read the initial instructions #. Copy and paste (append or replace) the RELEVANT host address entry contents of that file into Notepad or Wordpad and save the updated file contents.

  • Keep all of these programs up-to-date, and
  • Use them on a regular basis.
