I am having trouble running aswMBR to completion. I have tried 3 times and and some point it stops functioning and I get the Microft message that the program has stopped responding and it will close after looking online for a solution.

Please Advise

I managed to copy the Log of the crash. See Below.

Post by: essexboy on January 28, 2012, 02:46:40 PM
OK that makes me suspicious

Two things to do now

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)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/NSIS_disclaimer_ENG.png)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/NSIS_extraction.png)

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

THEN

Do the following:
Take a screen Shot of the Disk Management Window and attach the screen shot to your reply.

Thanks Again for all the help.

Should I rerun aswMBR ?
Title: Re: Trojan.ZeroAccess!kmem Infected my system and it won't leave
Post by: essexboy on January 28, 2012, 07:33:43 PM
Yes re-try aswMBR after this small combofix run please

1. Close any open browsers.
2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
Quote
File::
c:\users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\ovuvdi.exe

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif)

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exeWhen finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

Attached is the new Como Fix Run as requested. I am now re-running aswMBR.

Thanks

Update: I reran aswMBR and it once again crashed about an hour or so into it's scan. Should this be run in safe mode? Here is Log.

Post by: essexboy on January 28, 2012, 11:26:37 PM
Probably a conflict with Norton.. Could you try again but in the scan drop down select none

Combofix did not appear to delete that file so I will try OTL

On completion of this can you let me know what the current problems are

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

If you have Malwarebytes 1.6 or better installed please disable it for the duration of this run

Run OTL
Title: Re: Trojan.ZeroAccess!kmem Infected my system and it won't leave
Post by: Zombie_Woof on January 28, 2012, 11:53:21 PM
OTL Log attached.

PC seems to be running much smoother, no more IE redirects to strange sites.

I reran aswMBR with the option you suggested. Ran Okay. Log Attached.

Do you know how I can shut down Norton Internet Security 2012 completely so that I can run aswMBR with Virus Chcecking on?
Title: Re: Trojan.ZeroAccess!kmem Infected my system and it won't leave
Post by: essexboy on January 29, 2012, 12:00:40 AM
That now looks good

A final sweep for orphans I feel... No real need now for the main aswMBR run as the MBR looked OK

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware[/b] (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php)
 
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.[/b]

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:

Remove ComboFix
.
.
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 
.
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
.
 (http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/javaicon.gif)
Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application.
.
 Upgrading Java:
.
SPRING CLEAN
.
To manually create a new Restore Point
 .
Now we can purge the infected ones
.
Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif)
Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php).  Update and run weekly to keep your system clean
.
Download and install FileHippo update checker (http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/) and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link
.
It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit
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/)

Small problem that seems to be related to the Virus removal?

Before the virus I was sharing my printer on the network. File and Network dicsovery were enabled under networks. The other day I tried to print a document from my other pc and it just hung in the print que.

I went to the Network list and tried to access the printer but it did not exist. I tried to add a network printer and it came back none found.

I went to the main PC that we did the virus removal on and tried to re-enable print sharing on the printer but it came back with an error.

I then went to network settings and looked at Network Discovery and file and print sharing and they were both turned off.

I figured it was just one of those things and I turned them back on and checked to see if I could share my printer. No good same error.

I went back and looked and file and print sharing and network discovery were both off again. It seems they won't stay enabled.

I did a litte research and it seems certain services need to be running for the system to be able to share through the network.

        o Computer Browser
        o DHCP Client
        o DNS Client
        o Network Connections
        o Network Location Awareness
        o Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
        o Server
        o TCP/IP NetBIOS helper
        o Workstation

Some were not started for some reason so I started them, however the Computer Browser will not start. Error is 1060 specified service does not exist as an installed service.

I am at a loss if the above information I found is 100% accurate, but it seems to be a common thread for this issue.

I tried everything I could think off, turned off NIS, reboot in safe mode, changed network card driver etc.

Just to make sure I checked the other PC (which had no virus) and the Computer Browser service is running.

Could the virus removal have done something to the registry causing this issue?

Can we repair this?

Once Again I thank you for any guidance you can provide me.

Yes the Windows Update started perfectly.

The Windows Defender started and then stopped, saying some services stop automatically if not in use by other services or programs.

Defender probably because I run NIS 2012, and both can't run together?
