Title: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: aznsaiyan1029 on November 23, 2011, 08:42:49 PM
Recently I got AV protection 2011 malware, my avast av couldnt detect it some how. The malwares tends to block all programs' functions. These are my logs from Malwarebyte, OTL, and aswMBR on the attached files. I couldn't get the rougue killer because it crashes in the middle somehow. I ran those program in safe mode in order to run those programs. I would also like some recommendation on program that helps prevent malware/virus from the net in the future. Thanks.

my system is a XP 2002 sp3 on a laptop.

What are you current problems ?

Could you run a fresh OTL scan for me please to ensure that I missed nothing
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: Pondus on November 23, 2011, 10:34:14 PM
also the Malwarebytes log you posted show that the program have not been updated for many days
always click the update button before you start a scan   ;)

here is another scan from OTL. Thank you very much for your help.

Edited: I notice I don have access to internet while it still detects my wireless network. The window firewall system also cannot be turned back on somehow.

Here is the log. i guess the malware is gone now, bc I don't see the program itself anymore. Now I notice my internet and firewall functions are dead, even though it detects the wireless network.

OK here we go again - but at least I am getting a routine down for it

Open Services...
Start > Run > Type: services.msc > Click OK   
Scroll down to and double click DNS Client
Set to Automatic under Startup type 
Click the Apply button
Click the Start button
When it starts click OK

Repeat for DHCP Client.
And repeat for Remote Procedure Call (RPC).

When done, close Services.

Try the connection again

OK run OTL and run the following script as I need to check the dependency files

netsvcs
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
afd.*
tcpip.*
netbt.*
/md5stop
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NetBT /s

In the View menu, click Show hidden devices
Double-click Non-Plug and Play drivers section
Double-click the entry AFD, and click the Driver tab
Set the Startup type to System.
Start the service. Note down the error message if any.
Similarly start the two other drivers namely:

when i type in ipconfigure in run. the black window pops up n disappear right away. very wierd.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: DavidR on November 25, 2011, 12:53:18 AM
It will as it opens a command window (black window) and runs the command and closes the window.

Could you go to start > run and enter cmd, this will open a command window, which will stay open. Then you can type the commands into the command window and get the results, make sure you have a space after the IPCONFIG before the /RELEASE etc.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: aznsaiyan1029 on November 25, 2011, 01:09:41 AM
ok when i hit the command "ipconfig/ release" on cmd, an internal error occurred, "please contact microsoft product support services for further help. additional information: unable to query host name."
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: DavidR on November 25, 2011, 01:23:18 AM
Are you using the quotes in the command or just using them for emphasis ?

If just for emphasis, then you could try a google search, etc. for "unable to query host name" (with or without quotes), if that doesn't return anything related to the IPCONFIG command try adding the IPCONFIG to the search string before the "unable to query host name"

Otherwise it will need the services of essexboy when he is next back on the forum as it is now almost 12:25am in the UK.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware

whenever i type ipconfig or anything liek that in cmd, it gives the message: "an internal error occurred,please contact microsoft product support services for further help. additional information: unable to query host name." Right now I assume my laptop cant even reach the ip address, I'll try a number of method from google search right now.

ok i tried system restore to restore the laptop back to 4 days ago. everything seems fine now. The virus av protection 2011 (or 2012) instantly disables my internet connection also n creates all this trouble. My other pc (that i used to post my previous posts) however got it again (facepalms*). The virus hides in the window folder in c drive in the form of exe file.

I got this virus from an usual site where I read manga (@ mangafox.com). I believe the site just got infected recently, and i simply got infected from reading online manga? I will try to fix my other pc now with the best I can first. Thank you for the help both of you.

Ok I tried on my window 7 desktop. I believe I removed the virus (i delete the exe file in c drive and run malwarebyte), but I can never repair the internet connection problem from the av protection aftermath effect. I checked my TCP/IP protocol driver and it works fine, but the NetIO Legacy TDI Support Driver is not functioning, with error code 24 on the status. When I do the window network diagnostics, it said one or more network protocols are missing on the computer maybe the problem. Please walk me through on how to get the internet back, thanks.

my desktop is a window 7 ultimate, 32 bit os

Download  Windows Repair (all in one)  from this site (http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html)

Install the programme then run

Go to step 2 and allow it to run Disc check

when i run start repair on the last step and the drive check on the first one. The message "execute processes remotely" keep popping up nonstop saying the processes has stopped working correctly.

I then try the OTL scan, and i start getting some no disk error message in the middle of the scan.

At the moment, it just seems to unable to detect any wireless connection around the area. When I click on the status on "local area connection", it said "IPv4 connectivity: no internet access" and "IPv6 Connectivity: No network access", does that mean it couldn't detect the proxy setting?
From ipconfig from cmd, the media state of both tunnel adapter isatap.Belkin and tunnel adapter local area connection* 9 are disconnected.
The log is attached.

My computer is in window 7 ultimate version atm, so I don have the hardware recovery option, and when I just try regular system recovery I get some error. My hard drive is a gateway gt5628 series.

The error:

The restore point was damaged or was deleted during the restore.

The Intel Pro NIC driver referenced in this link is for Vista x86. You stated that you have WIN Ultimate x64? installed.

Did you upgrade your OS from Vista x86 to Win 7 Ultimate x64?

If you want to fix your NIC driver, try this.

Right click on your NIC entry in Device Manager and then select "Search Automatically For Updated Driver." See my attached screen shot. If that doesn't find anything, then try the other option.

Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: aznsaiyan1029 on November 27, 2011, 09:17:21 PM
I tried that option already, but on the PCI simple communications controller, it said the driver is missing, and I have trouble finding/knowing the correct drive to fix the error icon on it.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: DonZ63 on November 27, 2011, 11:24:25 PM
You can try the Intel web site: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/network (http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/network)

Note: Many OEMS use modified hardware. The Intel drivers might or might not work.

It is entirely possible that a Win 7 driver does not exist for that NIC. In that case, I suspect whomever install Win 7 on that PC used the Vista x86 or x64 driver from the Gateway site. Some of the Vista drivers do work under Win 7. I use a Vista x64 driver on WIN 7 x64 for my old HP printer since HP does not offer a WIN 7 driver for it. Works with about 90% functionality.

Your pretty much in a "try it and see if it works" mode here.

@ aznsaiyan1029 - I believe that is the Pause at the end of the batch file, that places the waiting, etc.

when you press any key it closes the command window and should generate the c:\MyNICDetails.txt file.

Did you press any key to close the window ?
If so check the C:\ drive for the MyNICDetails.txt file.

Follow the procedure given in that Microsoft link on how to id your controller. Then go to the PCIDatabase site that is referenced to see if it has a driver for your controller. Note that it should have instructions on how to install the driver which I suspect would be the manually method.

I know from experience that Intel modem and NIC drivers are a bear to install at times.

Procedure seems straightforward to me:

    Hi, I have found the solution.  If you go in device manager, click on the pci simple communications controller, go in property and then go in details.  You will see a code like per example PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_27D8&SUBSYS...

The VEN code means vendor and the DEV code means device: in my case the vendor is 8086 and the device is 27D8.

    Once you have the two codes, go to www.pcidatabase.com.  Enter the two codes and you should get the name of your

hardware.  From there you can search for a driver download for your hardware.

    In my case the pci simple communications controller was a Microsoft UAA Bus HD audio.  I also had another pci

device that didn't work properly, using the same method I found out that my pci device was an HSF PCI internal modem with code number CX11252-11.  I had a hard time downloading one of the drivers, after 6 or 7 times the download started so be patient if you have the same hardware

.

    NOTE: to access the device manager, go in control panel, then performance and maintenance, system, hardware and finally device manager.

Yea i found that in device manager, but it has nothing on the detail tab. The Device status gives code 28.

I downloaded a drive from (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.aspx?httpDown=http://downloadmirror.intel.com/13477/eng/MEI_AMT_allOS_3.0.30.1086_PV.zip&lang=eng&Dwnldid=13477)

After the installation the PCI error on the drive is gone, but the internet is still not fixed. Maybe it is not related to my internet problem on the pc.

Try this again from the command prompt in a command window:

IPCONFIG /RELEASE
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS
IPCONFIG /RENEW
IPCONFIG /ALL

Copy the output from the ipconfig /all to a text file in Notepad. Then blank out your MAC address for the NIC. Then copy and post the modified output.

Am I using any incompatible drive somehow? Because my laptop detects the wireless with no problems, my desktop however detects nothing, not even the wifi from next doors.

Using window network diagnostics, it said the network's proxy setting is the case. how do i check if the proxy i use is right or wrong?

Open a command prompt window and enter:

ping 192.168.2.1

You should not receive any timeouts. If you can ping the router, I have to assume the router is the problem.

I agree router lease info looks hosed to me. This could be the problem. The clock for the router has to sync just like the PC clock has to.

Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware

this is what i got after the ping command. I don understand, because the desktop is perfectly fine until the malware attack av protection 2011. I believe my router should be fine. Will the file deletion of some sort from malwarebyte I used back then be the cause of all this mess?

Yes the date is shown correctly as 11/29/2011.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: essexboy on November 29, 2011, 11:53:09 PM
It is curious as you can ping the computer

I am running another one similar to this at G2G at the moment and that is just as baffling

Could you go to Start > All programs > Accessories
Right click Command prompt and select run as administrator
In the black box that opens type the following bolded command

IPCONFIG /ALL


Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

Well, you have connectivity to the router. However the lease obtained via DHCP is not right.

I did note this from the ipconfig output:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : Belkin
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connecti
on

Notice the DNS suffix says Belkin but the LAN chipset referenced is Intel. My PC is blank after Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

First, Connection-specific DNS Suffix : should not be your router name which I assume is a Belkin? There should be only an entry there if your ISP requires it and it would take the form of xxxxxxx.com etc.

I have seen enough to say a "hard reset" of the router is required. If you don't know what I am talking about or don't know how to do it, call your ISP provider and they will walk you through it. This is extremely important since it will reset the router to the default manufacturer setting or those set by your ISP if they provided the router/DSL modem. Again, all settings will be wiped on the router including the wireless settings you are now using connect with on your notebook.

Lets see what Essexboy says.

Let say my router has problem, but how come my desktop cant detect the other wifi from my neighbors while my laptop can?
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: DonZ63 on November 30, 2011, 01:26:25 AM
One other point.

If your router is a Belkin Model F5D7230-4, Hardware ver. 2000, Firmware ver. 4.05.03, the firmware should upgraded or the router replaced.

This router can be hacked via a DNS rebind attack.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: DonZ63 on November 30, 2011, 01:34:53 AM
I assume your router is a combo ethernet and wireless. The wireless connection is a separate connection from the ethernet connection. Luckily, your wireless connection appears to be OK.

I can connect to my router on this desktop with no problem, and it even said the internet status in connected. There is just an annoying little yellow sign on the icon saying no internet access. My firmware is up to date. Before the malware problem, both laptop and desktop worked fine. I believe there maybe some wrong setting of my network or corrupted file like registry. I remember I deleted some registry through malware byte last week.

Are you now saying that your have no Internet issues on the desktop PC that was infected other than "this annoying little yellow sign" inside your network connectivity icon located on the right side of your lower task bar?

When I connected to the router ping's address (the router setting page 192.168.2.1), it said the internet status is connected. there is the yellow warning icon on the internet icon saying no internet access when I move my cursor over.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: DonZ63 on November 30, 2011, 10:00:36 PM
Try this.

Go into the Avast GUI. Select Real Time Shields. Then Web Shield, then Expert Settings. Place a checkmark in the Scan traffic from well-known browsers only. Leave the checkmark for Enable Web Scanning in place. Click on the OK button button.

Then shut down the Avast GUI and reboot your PC. After the boot completes. the yellow icon in the Network Connectivity icon on the lower task bar should be gone.

Now try to connect to the Internet.

I told Avast about this issue in the 6.0.1289 release and they never fixed it. Only applies to WIN 7 as far as I am aware off. Don't know if they fixed it in the new version. I will have to test that.

Lets see if windows can determine the problem

1. Click Start, and then click Help and Support.
2. Under Pick a task, click the link to Use Tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems, and then click Network Diagnostics in the list on the left.
3. Click Scan your system. The Network Diagnostics tool collects configuration information and performs automated troubleshooting of the network connection.
4. When the process is complete, look for any items that are marked "FAILED" in red.

I don have internet access on it, so after I click windows help and support, it only tell me to put in key word in the search bar. When I go the window network diagnostics, all it said is " windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings" like i mentioned in earlier posts.

BTW - Is your firewall on? Are you using the WIN 7 firewall in it's default configuration?

You should not be connecting to the Internet without at least an operational firewall with inbound protection. More so without any AV installed.

Ok I did the trouble shooting. Netwrok adapter is working fine. I have no clue how to do the shared folders one and incoming connections one.

The internet connections trouble shooting gives me the same message as I said on the previous post.

homegroup - window firewall incorrectly configured - fixed
          - homegroup needs to be refreshed- fixed

incoming connection - window needs more info to diagnose the problem - error sign

i ran the microsoftfixit50566 and did not fix the problem.

Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: DonZ63 on December 01, 2011, 12:27:48 AM
Let me ask some basic questions. Please bear with me.

Have you checked all your ethernet connections? At the PC and at the router. Are all your router idiot lights lit indicating all connections are active?

Finally did your ISP give your directions on how to set up your broadband connection? Did you check those all out? For example, your ipconfig output indicates that DNS is being provided by the a DNS server on the router. Some ISPs require this be overridden by specifying you enter IP addresses for their servers into TCP/IP settings. Finally, did your ISP assign you a static IP address versus having it dynamically assigned?

Post by: DonZ63 on December 01, 2011, 12:38:10 AM
I also would like to check out this proxy server business.

Open up your browser and post a screen shot of your LAN settings. There should be no info in the proxy server settings. Below is where you do it in IE and what the settings should be.
Title: Re: AV protection 2011 malware
Post by: aznsaiyan1029 on December 01, 2011, 03:15:15 AM
yea the ethernet is connected, because if i unplug them the yellow icon on the bottom bar will turn into an error red cross instead. The lights are all blinking fine. When I check the status from local area connection status, there are activity going on except it shows no internet access on ipv4 connectivity and ipv6connectivity. I also make sure the proxy server box is unchecked on IE and with automatically detect settings checked only.

I am looking at services tab on system config and I see something maybe related to all this internet chaos. The status of wired autoconfig, PnP- X IP Bus Enumerator, Mircrosoft iSCSI Initiator Service, WLAN AutoConfig, WWAN AutoConfig are all stopped. When I was messing around in the device manager n try to update drivers like WAN Miniports, it said "windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it". Will any of this be the cause of the problem? Thanks.

I somewhat assumed you were on SP1 for WIN 7. I guess that should have been asked.

Yes, a service pack update will replace many existing OS files including those dealing with networking.

BTW - make sure you install at least an anti-virus before you start connecting to the Internet again. Otherwise, you could be infected within minutes.

I am glad there was a resolution as there are so many elements that affect networking we could end up going aroun in circles.  This malware appears to break bits at random, normally a check of netbt or netbios resolves it

Thank you for the update it is another avenue that I could try
