Unable to remove virus
« on: August 14, 2009, 02:34:32 PM »
Having a lot of trouble getting rid of a virus on my computer!. Have tried a lot of advice given on this forum but nothing seems to have worked.
So far I’ve tried:

Running avast (it locates a number of viruses/Trojans but does not seem to deleted them or else cannot delete them (cannot move to chest as currently being used by another program)
Running spybot (seems to be quite crap!)
Running malware. This was a lot better than spybot for finding the issues (found 14 as opposed to the three spybot found) but still does not seem to have worked at actually removing the viruses
Running all of the above in safe mode. Does not succeed in removing the viruses, when I reboot the viruses return (in the case of avast it still cannot remove the viruses in safemode)
Doing a scan during reboot. Scans until about 5% and then skips back to normal booting.

Any helps or tips?? Getting pretty desperate at this point and considering just re-installing. Thanks in advance

Why can't it deal with them, e.g. what error messages are displayed ?

What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (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. C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashLogV.exe
 
- Or check the source file using notepad C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Warning.log and copy and paste the entry.

You say you have tried a lot of advice, what 'exactly' have you tried or we don't know what else to suggest.

Hi David, thanks for the reply. Apologies for the lack of specifics, I'll have to wait until I get home to access my laptop and provide these details.
Two of the viruses that I came across ended with figaro.sys and beep.sys. and the most persistent message from avast was that AVAST could not access the file because it is in use by another process...but I'll try come up with more concrete details when I get home.

Well the reasons/errors given should be overcome by the use of the boot-time scan (you didn't say if you tried this) as they shouldn't be in use before windows starts.

I've tried the boot-time scan alright. It's what I meant by "scan during reboot", afraid I'm not too clear on some of these terms! When I run the boot-time scan it runs fine up until 5% of the scan is completed and then jumps from there back to normal boot-up. Now, I've never run one of these scans before but I presume the boot-time scan should run up too 100%?!
Thanks again for you help.

avast scans during boot as it is an on-access scanner as files are accessed they are scanned (depending on file type), this is entirely different to a boot-time scan (see image). I don't rely on the % complete, but if avast completes the scan without detection then windows boots normally.

The scan I performed was the one you have attached in the image. It gave me no error message during the scan and booted normally (if ignoring the % completed) after about 5minutes scanning. However avast warning messages appear almost immediately once windows is launched.

Someone else posted yesterday about figaro.sys/beep.sys. Have a look at the post.Especially the possible need to replace the infected beep.sys,once the rootkit is removed.Also if you could run rootrepeal, as in the other post, and post a log here

Thanks, this looks like almost exactly the same issues except for the windows file protection message that I have not seen (as yet).

Below is the logfile from Hijack This program. Unfortunately it doesn't mean much to me, any help would be much appreciated!
I am currently unable to run my laptop except using safe mode as it seems windows is damaged. If I boot up normally I get a message on a bright blue background saying "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer...."

Wow you have some crap there.Run HJT again IF these entries are still there, then fix them.Close any other applications,open HJT, choose scan only.Place ticks next to the following entries,choose fix, reboot

   C:\WINDOWS\system32\braviax.exe
C:\Program Files\PC_Antispyware2010\PC_Antispyware2010.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [msword98] C:\WINDOWS\system32\msword98.exe

O4 - HKUS\.DEFAULT\..\Run: [braviax] (User 'Default user')
O4 - Startup: ikowin32.exe

Your rootrepeal log is gobbledy gook on my pc.
Can you then run mbam, hjt, and rootrepeal, and post fresh logs

Also go to virustotal, and upload regedit.exe from C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.exe and post the results http://www.virustotal.com/

I think C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\str.sys (Rootkit.Agent) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully will return on reboot

The regedit.exe file isn't in the system32 folder in XP (it is normally in the windows folder), so is highly suspect also send it to avast, see below.

Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and undetected malware in the subject.
 
Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn't already in the chest) where it can do no harm and send it from there. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so you will need to take further action and can remove/rename that.
 
Send it from the User Files section of the chest (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). It will be uploaded (not actually emailed) to avast when the next avast auto (or manual) update is done.

Hey guys

Many thanks for your help on this. I've sent the file away to avast (I presume you both meant regedt.exe rather than regedit.exe??)
I was not too sure how to post the details from virustotal, they gave me a link so here is that link. If I need to do something else let me know.
I've attached new log for hijack this and for root repeal and deleted the files suggested. I rebooted, but only to safe mode. Let me know if you think I should try a full reboot.

Im currently re-running malware scan and will post results when completed.
