Start with a boot time scan. Move anything found to the chest. You can schedule a boottime scan from the menu on the simple user interface. (right click the "a" icon, start avast, right click on the skin)

After the boot time scan is complete and you are up and running, again do the following and post the results of the boot time scan.

Create a new restore point

You must be logged on to an administrator account
Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools System Restore.
Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.
In the text box labeled Restore Point Description, type a name for this restore point

Remove old restore points

Disk Cleanup - Launch the Disk Cleanup tool and then select the more options tab. On this tab you will find a section for System Restore. If you press the Clean Up button for that section, Windows will delete all restore points except for the most recent one.

thanks for the prompt reply I did the boot scan, after the scan avast showed the same virus
I did what said about system restore, but its still the same when I boot up its showing the same virus, I move it to the chest, restart its there again it doesn't seem to effect what I'm doing with the computer but it is worrying every time I boot up its there.

Hi Desperate-Dan,

Here are some more free anti-malware scanners you can try:

Look for and remove rootkits (hidden malware):

Panda Antirootkit (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Panda-Anti-Rootkit.shtml)
Blacklight (http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/)
AVG Anti-Rootkit (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-anti-rootkit-free/lng/us/tpl/v5)

Try a scan with DrWeb CureIT! (http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/)

Try the usual free adware/spyware scanners.

AVG Anti-Spyware Free (http://www.ewido.net/en/product/) (Requires Win2k/XP)
Ad-Aware Free (http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html)
SUPERAntiSpyware Free (http://www.superantispyware.com/)
a-Squared Free (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/)

Download, install and update the programs. Disconnect from the internet (pull the plug) before running scans in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) if possible.

Always select the option to quarantine any malware found rather than delete it, then you will be able to restore files or registry entries wrongly identified as malware- a rare but not unknown event for any malware scanner.

Try some online scans. (Disable avast! while scanning.)

F-Secure (http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml)
BitDefender (http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html)
Panda (http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm)
Trend Micro Housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/)

When you have finished, scan for out-of-date and insecure software using Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector/) and update any vulnerable software: this will help to prevent future infections.

Panda Antirootkit (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Panda-Anti-Rootkit.shtml)

Panda (http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm)
I do recommend Panda antirootkit for XP (does not work on Vista).
But I do NOT recommend its online scanning due to its leftovers.

This icon is legit, I mean, winrar will put this icon on every file (archive file) associated with it, i.e., each archive file winrar could open/manage. It's perfectly normal.

Post by: snyholm on December 08, 2007, 01:16:31 AM
I have the same problem, I have followed all the advice in this thread but can't seem to get rid of the virus.  It's the same one I think.  I have tried Dr Web Cureit and it doesnt find the virus at all.  All the malware scanners don't seem to find anything too serious either.  It's only Avast.

Any further advice??
Title: Re: Can't remove virus
Post by: DavidR on December 08, 2007, 01:34:48 AM
Can you be more detailed rather than I have the same problem.

What is the malware name, the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (malware name, C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ? 
Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast 'a' icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections.

What Operating System are you using ?

Why can't avast remove it, what errors or messages are displayed ?
Title: Re: Can't remove virus
Post by: snyholm on December 08, 2007, 05:01:05 AM
 
Ok, I have a notebook running XP with avast and I have installed superantispyware. 

When my desktop loads up after turning on my PC I get the warning message that VBS:malware-gen has been detected
"Sign of "VBS:Malware-gen" has been found in "C:\DOCUME~1\Scott\LOCALS~1\Temp\1.reg" file.  "
Each time I get the warning I move to chest as per the suggested action

I have followed the procedure outlined at the start of this thread.

There is another suggested fix at
http://roguemei.blogspot.com/2007/08/removing-vbsmalware-gen-virus-solution.html

which i have also followed and still it seems to be there.

I have run AVG Anti-Rootkit, Dr Web Cureit, Trend Micro Housecall and CCleaner which cleared a couple of trojans and unwanted cookies
but each time I boot up I get the same warning

I have removed cookies, deleted temporary internet files

Any thoughts?

Hi, I had tha same virus, Avast couldn't get rid of it, register with this forum  they will show you how to remove it,
a great forum and very active http://www.techguy.org/ when you join click on general security tell them your problem and they will sort it for you. good luck
Title: Re: Can't remove virus
Post by: Lisandro on December 08, 2007, 12:22:14 PM
Each time I get the warning I move to chest as per the suggested action
I suggest:

1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
2. Clean your temporary files (again, as you've already done).
3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
4. Use AVG Antispyware (http://www.ewido.net/en/); SUPERantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com) and/or Spyware Terminator (http://www.spywareterminator.com/) to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
5. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications (http://www.antirootkit.com/software/index.htm). I suggest AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/doc/download-free-anti-rootkit/us/crp/0) or Trend Micro RootkitBuster (http://www.trendmicro.com/download/rbuster.asp).

<snip>
When my desktop loads up after turning on my PC I get the warning message that VBS:malware-gen has been detected
"Sign of "VBS:Malware-gen" has been found in "C:\DOCUME~1\Scott\LOCALS~1\Temp\1.reg" file.  "
Each time I get the warning I move to chest as per the suggested action
<snip>

If this file keeps coming back, "C:\DOCUME~1\Scott\LOCALS~1\Temp\1.reg" something undetected is either restoring it or downloading it again. I doubt it is the downloading bit as I would hope that the web shield would detect it on download and abort the connection, stop it being downloaded.

So something has to be running at boot to be able to do this, so I would suggest running HJT to see what is running and post the contents of the HJT log file here. Copy and paste the contents into a new post or posts if it is a large log.

Program & Tutorial - Also useful as a diagnostic tool - FileHippo Download - HiJackThis (http://filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/) - HJT Information HiJackThis Tutorial 1 (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial42.html)

The 1.reg file seems a strange one to get a VBS (Visual Basic Script) malware alert on as .reg files are files that can be used to modify the registry. However, the file type displayed doesn't have to be correct, but I would suggest confirmation at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner (http://www.virustotal.com/) and report the findings here.

A file called 1.reg is not welcome... I won't be sure the file is innocuous by your Virustotal report.  I suggest:

1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
2. Clean your temporary files.
3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
4. Use AVG Antispyware (http://www.ewido.net/en/); SUPERantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com) and/or Spyware Terminator (http://www.spywareterminator.com/) to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
5. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications (http://www.antirootkit.com/software/index.htm). I suggest AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/doc/download-free-anti-rootkit/us/crp/0) or Trend Micro RootkitBuster (http://www.trendmicro.com/download/rbuster.asp).
6. Make a HijackThis (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/hijackthis.php) log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner (http://www.runscanner.net/) log to to on-line analysis.
7. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) or Windows Advanced Care (http://www.iobit.com/AdvancedWindowsCarePersonal/index.html).
8. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector/).

Specially step 6 with Runscanner automatic analysis could help us helping you.

From the VT hits, a google search on the other malware names (commonly, TCPParams) it is possible that there may be other elements hidden/undetected, see below.

Post the contents (copy and paste) of the HJT log file here, it may need to be split over two or more posts, depending on how large it is.

Try these other anti-rootkit tools and report the findings.

First you don't appear to have an active firewall, what is your firewall ?
If XP's firewall it doesn't provide outbound protection. Any malware that manages to get past your defences will have free reign to connect to the internet to either download more of the same, pass your personal data (sensitive or otherwise, user names, passwords, keylogger retrieved data, etc.) or open a backdoor to your computer, so outbound protection is essential.

Unknown:
Did you install this, do you know what it is ?
- Upload to VirusTotal, send the sample to avast if multiple detections and FIX in HJT (see below)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysregi.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Nod32 Runtime] sysregi.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Nod32 Runtime] sysregi.exe
- There is only one hit in a google search for the file name and that one is suspect. If this really was a Nod32 file then there would be much more information about it, I take it you aren't using or haven't got or had nod32 on your system ?

O16 - DPF: {FDE14979-D821-4CD8-BE1C-9D6AF01D097F} (VMTOCCtrl Class) - http://ppd.swinburne.edu.au/stuinf/vm.cab
- Is this something that you require, is swinburne.edu.au familiar to you, etc. ?

FIX:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0BF43445-2F28-4351-9252-17FE6E806AA0} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE - see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/ALCMTR.EXE-240.html (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/ALCMTR.EXE-240.html)

Other than the above I don't see anything obvious.

####
Check the suspect file/s at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner (http://www.virustotal.com/) and report the findings here in the topic.

Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a reference to this topic (give URL) and undetected malware in the subject.

Run HJT again (close any other windows except HJT), tick the box to the left of the suspect entry you wish to fix, click the Fix Selected Button.

I seem to be all better, sysregi.exe was the problem.  So since I deleted it I Avast has not detected anything.  And I never had nod32 on my pc ever.

I have loaded on Comodo firewall now too

Thanks for your help, Merry Christmas

That is what I was saying this was trying to hide ad a nod32 application when the file had no association with nod32. But it was just confirmation that you hadn't had nod32 at any time in the past.

Your welcome and a Merry Christmas to you too.
