Re: Spyware / Virus has me stumped

have found some other info about not being able to access HJT - it suggested changing the exe name of hjt to fool the virus, but as soon as I try to right click on it - it automatically shuts down explorer.

I used to love battling other people's virus's but this lil sucker is starting to really get up my nose!

Spysweeper removed that trojan, but I still can't get to HJT or AVG - it's like they load for a second, the first page fashes up, then it's gone again.

Re: Spyware / Virus has me stumped

the thread listed here details the exact symptoms that started this whole ball rolling.

http://www.processlibrary.com/forum/...php?t-375.html

I'm too stubborn to resort to formatting. While I do have plenty of backups, I don't wish to spend the first week of my Diploma reinstalling all my design software etc lol so would rather beat this thing if I can.

Got a tech coming around later just in case I can't win... but this girl hasn't been beaten by a virus yet!

Re: Spyware / Virus has me stumped

If you do indeed have a rootkit, one of the most capable first-aid tools against it is SpySweeper. Can you post any recent SS recent logs? Are you now running the latest version?



Download deldomains:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomains.inf
To use: right-click and select: Install (no need to restart)
Note: This will remove all entries in the "Trusted Zone" and "Ranges" also.


Note: Because this will remove all entries in both the Trusted Zone and the Restricted Zone, any program, tool, or settings that were previously used to set restrictions will need to be reset:
Examples: (if these are being used),
  • Spybot's "Immunize" feature is affected, you will need to re-immunize
  • SpywareBlaster's "Enable all protection" feature will have to be re-enabled
  • IE-SPYADS will have to be reinstalled




Also, against trojans you might try running the following (however, this may also get blocked as well):



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.


Try to limit any REBOOTING since that can reinstate any previously fixed problems.

Re: Spyware / Virus has me stumped

hi again - i'd run hoster before and cleaned up the redirecting sites. also have ewido and ran that one - it picked up a few things, but of course more was picked up later by spysweeper.

We've determined the exact virus that I have - it's http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32chodec.html W32/Chode-c - everything so far has been exactly as it has described within the description there.

At the moment I'm on another PC - the infected on has been 'quarantined' you could say. I've installed the sophos scanner (as recommened in the above link) to run in safe mode under command prompt. Once that finishes, if I'm still having no joy, I'll carry on with the suggestions you have made and will of course let you know the result either way.

Re: Spyware / Virus has me stumped

I can't get a log of the spysweeper scan i just did, but using the feature in it allowing to scan for rootkits, it did find something it wanted to reboot to be completely clean of.

When it came back up, things were getting better, the TC Cleaner program mentioned above, i used to again delete the csrss entry ... and another file which was WRSSSDK.exe - the spysweeper engine, and I then found msconfig held up fine and I found 3 entries in the startup for csrss which shouldn't have been there.

Removed them - rebooted, no rescanning with ewido - which I couldn't do before.

Its been a long day, but I do believe .... I might be having a win!

Re: Spyware / Virus has me stumped

Very nice work by you and your friend.



The 192.168.0.254 entry appears to be your router IP access point and is OK. See BIPAC 5100/5100W manual here:

http://60.248.77.180/_Internet/userm...rsalManual.pdf




Please disable the following application(s), as it/they may hinder the removal of some entries. Otherwise, certain cleaning attempts may be wrongly recognized and blocked as hijacking attempts or other potentially inappropriate behavior. You can re-enable such tools after your computer is clean.




Spybot Search & Destroy (Teatimer)

1) Run Spybot-S&D
2) Go to the Mode menu, and make sure "Advanced Mode" is selected
3) On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
4) Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts
5) Restart your computer.




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

F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\WINDOWS\System32\jarihdi\csrss.exe
F3 - REG:win.ini: run=C:\WINDOWS\System32\jarihdi\csrss.exe

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5BAB4B5B-68BC-4B02-94D6-2FC0DE4A7897} - (no file)

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BDAD1DAD-C946-4A17-ADC1-64B5B4FF55D0} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ALCXMONITOR] ALCXMNTR.EXE
O4 - Startup: csrss.lnk = ?

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




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


DELETE FILES:

C:\WINDOWS\ALCXMNTR.EXE



DELETE APPLICATION FOLDERS, if found:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\jarihdi




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.



What tool picked up on W32/Chode-c - was it SpySweeper?




Also suggest running the following tool for another look-see:

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: Spyware / Virus has me stumped

Good Morning Vincent

New log as promised.... but I did have one hiccup ...couldn't get the Disk Cleanup to work, but it's something which has played up for a long time. I'm expecting my tech around again later so I'll get him to try to nut that one out with me. I know I figured it out once before .... cleaned up manually anyways what I could.

System is now booting clean, seems to be loading quicker and i'm not getting any errors or other thigns stopping thigns happening the way they should - which is good.

SpySweeper was great but the turning point was actually a tip off from the scan only version of XsoftSpy. I ran a scan and it picked up what it said was the Alcan.A worm. I hunted down the removal instructions and was led to a tool called Brute Force Uninstaller.

I ran that, then went on to the other instructions, but found the files it referenced weren't there. (Even with all folders unhidden which I'd already done).

I carried on as I had been - for some reason then checked The Cleaners TC Active and the extra csrss.exe files were now showing up - nuked them - from there, everything was smooth!

So now, the log...
