Malicious URL Blocked msgs
« on: September 25, 2012, 03:17:29 AM »
I keep getting the same 3 malicious URL blocked msgs for crossmatchx.com/x/, paspartux.com/x/ and 85.195.92.11 about every 30 seconds.  It doesn't matter if I'm on the internet or just starting my computer either.  And the computer is very sluggish as well.  Per your instructions will attach Adw cleaner, malware anti-malware bytes, OTL, and ASW MBR logs.  Here is the MBAM log to start.  Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I will be working on your Malware issues  ;)



 Step#1 


Download TDSSKiller  and save it to your desktop

    Execute TDSSKiller.exe by doubleclicking on it.

Note: If TDSSKiller refuses to run, rename it into something else, random.

  •     Press Start Scan

     
  •   If Suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
     
  •   If Malicious objects are found, select Cure.
Once complete, a log will be produced at the root drive which is typically C:\ ,for example, C:\TDSSKiller.<version_date_time>log.txt


Please post the contents of that log in your next reply.

    Hi, stummies0

Multiple Antivirus Programs

You are running more than 1 Antivirus program!


AV: avast! Antivirus *Disabled/Updated
AV: Lavasoft Ad-Aware *Enabled/Updated




Running - more than one - antivirus program is not recommended because:[list=1]
  • They can conflict with each other.
  • Report the other antivirus software as malicious.
  • Antivirus programs use an enormous amount of computer's resources... actively scanning your computer.
  • Can cause your computer to become unstable...run slowly and even, in rare cases, BSOD crash...etc
I strongly suggest you uninstall one of them.  Which one, is your decision.




Step#1.1 

  • Re-run TDSSKiller.exe and click on Change parametres.
  • Under Additional options check the boxes next to Verify Driver Digital Signature and Detect TDLFS file system, then click OK
  • Click on Start Scan.
  • If an infected file is detected, the default action will be Cure, click on Continue.
  • If a suspicious file is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
  • It may ask you to reboot the computer to complete the process. Click on Reboot Now.
  • Click the Report button and attach the contents of it into your next reply
Note:It will also create a log in the C:\ directory.

******************

Step#1.2 


Again re-run TDSSKiller as before (with change parametres ) and use Delete option for this entry if shows:

\Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System )



**************************



Step#2 


Re-run Combofix and attach here fresh Combofix.txt log

Open notepad and copy/paste the text present inside the code box below:

Save this as CFScript.txt



Close all browser windows and refering to the picture above.

Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.

It appears to be running more smoothly without the lag time that was present when it got infected.  Since I have the avast program disabled I can't say if the malicious URL blocked msgs are gone but overall performance is much better.  Thanks

It is necessary to uninstall ComboFix :
  • Click Start (or ) then Run.


    On Windows7 or Vista you may use Start Search field if Run is not available.

  • In the line of text type in (Copy) the following:
Code: [Select]
ComboFix /Uninstall
    Note that there is a space between " ComboFix " and " /Uninstall " .

    • then click OK (or press Enter ).
    Wait for the uninstall process is complete.

    ******************

    > Re-run OTL and click on CleanUp! button.

    You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process, choose Yes.
    After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.
    Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTL. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.
