Title: Malware - Attempt to Open Blocked Websites
Post by: mzw on February 18, 2014, 06:40:53 PM
Trend Micro is blocking Unauthorized URL's.  These URL's have very long and strange names such as kuqcuyqmaggguqum .org.
 
The log has a bunch of these:
20140213<;>1737<;>TROJ_SPNV.01BC14<;>1<;>1<;>0<;>C:\Windows\TEMP\tmp00005b1f\tmp0008d3e4<;>

Another side effect is that recently, it takes a very long time to open programs. This is particularly annoying when I want to email as an attachment and I have to wait 20 seconds for the email to open.

Is this a firm computer, not a home computer?

Is it reporting from the same temp folder location ?

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1  (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
Link 2 (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here  (http://forums.whatthetech.com/How_Disable_your_Security_Programs_t96260.html&pid=494216#entry494216)

Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Combofix Log attached.
programs are opening faster.  It's only been a few minutes but so far no popups.
I'll try to update you later.

Thank you.

Hmm it took out an ASUS/MS file that I assumed was legit.. Methinks I need to follow up on that one

If all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up
Title: Re: Malware - Attempt to Open Blocked Websites
Post by: mzw on February 20, 2014, 03:49:52 PM
Seems to be working OK.  The popups are gone. The programs open fast.

The only thing that started was that sometimes, the computer freezes and the hourglass starts going.  This can last about a minute.  I've had this in the past and it seemed connected to when outlook does a send/receive.  It only happened a few times so far.  I'm archiving some emails to see if that helps but I don't think that is the problem.  Perhaps due to the reindexing that is going on as the cleanup deleted the outlook index.
Title: Re: Malware - Attempt to Open Blocked Websites
Post by: essexboy on February 20, 2014, 04:31:10 PM
In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :)

Subject to no further problems   :)

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix (http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/downloads/finish/20-outils-de-xplode/9-delfix)

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG)


: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article (http://www.forbes.com/sites/eliseackerman/2013/01/11/us-department-of-homeland-security-calls-on-computer-users-to-disable-java/) and this article (http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/us-warns-java-software-security-concerns-escalate-1B7938755).
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser (http://www.geekstogo.com/2600/how-to-disable-java-in-your-web-browser/) and How to unplug Java from the browser (http://krebsonsecurity.com/how-to-unplug-java-from-the-browser/))

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent (http://www.foolishit.com/vb6-projects/cryptoprevent/) install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG)

Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php).

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean


It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide  How did I get infected in the first place ? (http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/225044-preventing-malware-and-safe-computing/)Keep safe  :wave:

I ran delete fix and attached the report.

Outlook is still causing trouble by hanging up but otherwise, it seems good.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Post by: mzw on February 21, 2014, 03:38:17 AM
The popup's came back with a vengeance. Over 10 in one minute.
Title: Re: Malware - Attempt to Open Blocked Websites
Post by: essexboy on February 21, 2014, 02:42:12 PM
OK lets have a fresh look with something different

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/) and save it to your Desktop.
 
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
