Can't remove malware
« on: March 21, 2013, 10:48:18 AM »
Please help me to fix this...

I inserted an usb drive into my laptop and scanned it while opening the drive many files are not visible, and folders were displayed as shortcuts.
after that i could see that  below 2 urls are invoked at regular intervals and blocked by avast
hxtp://nnh42.name/a/
hxtp://jsh37.net/a/

Also i could see a lot of windows update icon in system tray.

I can't install Malwarebyte and cannot run adwcleaner. OTL is closing as soon as opened
I've runned the RogueKiller, as I saw in other post, the reports are attached.

Thanks!

Hi lets try this little programme first, once done then retry OTL

Please download OTM 
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please double-click OTM to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  • Copy the lines in the codebox below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):
     
Code: [Select]

:Files
 C:\Users\Fabiana\AppData\Roaming\4e8

:Commands
[purity]
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
[Reboot]
  • Return to OTM, right click in the "Paste Instructions for Items to be Moved" window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
     
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.
  • Close OTM and reboot your PC.
Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

OK we will try DDS next and that will allow me to see where the blockage is

Please download DDS and save it to your desktop.
  • Disable any script blocking protection
  • Double click dds.scr to run the tool.
  • When done, DDS.txt will open.
  • Click Yes at the next prompt for Optional Scan.
  • Save both reports to your desktop.
---------------------------------------------------
 
Please attach the contents of the following in your next reply:
 
DDS.txt

Safe mode works for me..  Run this fix in safe mode and allow it to reboot to normal mode
Once in normal mode let me know how it is behaving

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL

man, until now, in the normal mode, avast hasn't blocked any try to enter the sites... and that's no updates icont here too. I think the executable of the virus is blocked...
Now, what should I do with the usb infected? throw away? or there is any other alternative?

OK lets clear up the remnants and clean the USB

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following


Code: [Select]
:OTL
[2013/03/21 00:11:12 | 000,000,000 | -HSD | C] -- C:\4f09
[2012/09/04 14:01:08 | 000,384,844 | ---- | C] () -- C:\Users\Fabiana\AppData\Local\funmoods-speeddial.crx

:Commands
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.
THEN

Download McShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives

Plug in the drive and allow McShield to scan it

Then get the log which will be here :

Start > all programs > MCShield > logs > all scans

And post that
