malware: help! i've tried many things!
« on: October 08, 2007, 10:30:48 PM »
Hi there!  I'm a very conscious and somewhat savvy computer user, but in the past few days I've developed some kind of Malware that is causing popups (thankfully, not many), causing my screen to flicker, and generally slowing down my computer.  I haven't opened any strange files or followed any links claiming to lead to photos of me or even gone to any suspicious websites, so I'm not sure how this happened; but I'm quite stuck at the moment and I would really appreciate some help if anyone has the time. 

Spybot and Ad-Aware find Virtumonde, and Housecall finds Vundo, so here is what I have done so far:

1. Turn off System Restore
2. Update all scanning software
3. Reboot in Safe Mode
4. Looked through the registry to find values as described by anti-virus websites (found nothing)
5. Run the following:

Ad-Aware 2007
Spybot S&D
Trendmicro Housecall
VundoFix
Xclean Micro
FxVMonde
AVG Anti-Rootkit
SmitfraudFix
VirtuMundoBegone
A-Squared
avast! Antivirus

Most of them find absolutely nothing, but for those that have found something (Ad-Aware, Spybot, Housecall, A-Squared, avast!) I've followed the directions and quarantined / deleted accordingly.  I've been deleting my temporary files constantly, and System Restore is STILL off.  I have spent the past two days scanning and scanning and scanning, and I'm nearly dead (obvious exaggeration)!  Please help!

Hi crafty_kd,

You probably have a new variant of Vundo/Virtumonde.

Post a log for the experts to look at as described here:

What are the details of the AdAware and S&D detections, is there a possibility that this is a detection on registry entries alone (remnants of virtumond) and no files which may account for why some of the other scanning tools don't find anything.

I have seen this once before in the forums for an S&D detection on registry entries only.

So if you can post the details of the S&D, adaware, housecall detections it may help track it down.

The common find in AdAware, S&D and Housecall is Virtumonde/Vundo.  I thought it might be a false positive because the others weren't finding it, but my computer continues to act strangely.  I'll post specifics for my searches from now on.  The version of Vundo that Housecall found is from October 1st, 2007, so I agree with Frank that it's probably a new variant.

Yesterday's update of superantispyware included 3 or 4 vundo detection updates.

Thanks, oldman!  I've tried just about everything else; I'm more than willing to give superantispyware a shot!  :D

Currently running Stinger, next: superantispyware.  Still waiting on experts to view my log.  Will update soon!  Thanks!!!

Hmmmm, did you post the log at bleepingcomputer?  I don't see it here.

When you have a chance please run ComboFix and Hijackthis, and post both logs here.



Download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall.



Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
  • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
  • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

I did post a HiJackThis log at bleeping computer, but it quickly migrated down and onto the second page, without any replies.  So thank you very much for helping me here!

Oh, and apparently I'm exceeding the max. allowed number of characters, so this will be broken up.

Re your problem with hijackthis:

C:\Documents and Settings\Kimberley\Desktop\HiJackThis.exe

You shouldn't run but most importantly make any changes in HJT as it should be in a folder of its own, not the desktop or temporary location as any backup made of fixes you carry out could be lost leaving you no means of restoring any fix.

C:\HJT would be file or put it in C:\Program Files\HJT what ever you choose. You should also change the hijackthis.exe file to something like HJTcrafty.exe as there are some malware variants that recognise the hijackthis.exe file and can hide from it.

Try these measures and see if you can run it without it shutting down.

I did post a HiJackThis log at bleeping computer, but it quickly migrated down and onto the second page, without any replies.  So thank you very much for helping me here!
Glad to help.  Just make sure not to combine the advice given on the two forums because it will lead to confusing, possibly damaging, results.  Nothign much to see in the HJT log anyway.

I'm double checking a few things I see in ComboFix.  In the mean time please upload this file to Virus Total and post the results


C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\tmcomm.sys



As we will be making one fix in HijackThis (at least) take David's advice about moving it to its own folder.

HJT (note: HJT shuts down every time I run it now, but still seems to be keeping a log)
I missed that until just now.  Lets get rid of some of this junk and take a second look. 


Please download the OTMoveIt by OldTimer.
Save it to your desktop.
Please double-click OTMoveIt.exe to run it.
Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):


C:\WINDOWS\system32\rqtss.ini2
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rqtss.bak2
C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3d9caps.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sstqr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tmp.reg


Return to OTMoveIt, right click on the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be moved" window and choose Paste.
Click the red Moveit! button.
Copy everything on the Results window to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it on your next reply.
Close OTMoveIt
If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.


In addition to the OTMoveIt results please post a fresh HJT log renamed as suggested earlier.

Thanks.  HJT is now in its own folder and renamed, and I'm about to move on to your most recent directions, mauserme.

Virus Total results on tmcomm.sys:

File tmcomm.sys received on 10.09.2007 02:30:58 (CET)
Current status: finished

edit: see next message for new HJT log
