Malware URL linked to Winamp.exe
« on: June 07, 2015, 04:52:33 AM »
Hello,

Since yesterday every so often ( maybe 5 or 6 hours) I get a pop-up from avast saying that it blocked an infection the details are as follows
URL: hxtp://sites.securepaynet.net/redirect_0.html
Infection: URL: Mal
Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp.exe

I ran malawarebytes and avast and nothing came up after the first instance yesterday, but it came up again today. I reran malaware bytes and still nothing. I uploaded the file in question to virustotal and it said it looked safe. My question is, is this a false positive or is my computer infected with something. I have attached the logs discussed in the pinned forum post. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello,


Scan with ZOEK

Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop (preferred version is the *.exe one)
Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.

  • Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  • Wait patiently until the main console will appear, it may take a minute or two.
  • In the main box please paste in the following script:
Code: [Select]
createsrpoint;
autoclean;
bitsadmin /reset /allusers;b
emptyalltemp;
ipconfig /flushdns;b
  • Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
  • Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
  • When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
  • If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)
Post its content into your next reply.

The results of the ZOEK scan are attached.


As an addendum: Shortly after submitting this I opened winamp and the same message popped up.

Please re-run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool to give me a fresh look at your system.

    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Make sure that Addition option is checked.
  • Press Scan button and wait.
  • The tool will produce two logfiles on your desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
Please include their content into your next reply.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.

It seems to be ok, nothing is popping up randomly and everything seems a bit faster. Did you find anything in those scans that I should be worried about ( I.E: Do I need to change all of my passwords or anything like that? Thank you for all of your help.

You had browser hijacker, I am not sure if this infection is that severe to steal passwords, but you won't make a mistake if you change your passwords.

I tried downloading and running ADW and it crashes right as it starts its generic search.

Edit: I tried to run ADW with all virus and firewall programs disabled and the same result occured.
