Hi lets have a quick look see at your system to see if we can resolve this

Download OTS to your Desktop and double-click on it to run it
  • Make sure you close all other programs and don't use the PC while the scan runs.
  • Select All Users
  • Under additional scans select the following
Reg - NetSvcs
Reg - Shell Spawning
Evnt - EventViewer Logs (Last 10 Errors)
File - Lop Check
File - Purity Scan


  • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar. Make sure not to use the PC while the program is running or it will freeze.
  • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  • Please attach the log in your next post.

Thanks. Ots.txt is attached as requested. Mbam removed Trojan.FakeMS from this computer earlier today. Rescan says clean. Trojan.FakeMS is still in Mbam Quarantine. Thanks for your help.

oh okay, if mbam already removed it then... thought it didn't, just detected. Anyway if any remnant of that are still in your system, OTL will tell.

Hi looks like MBAM did it right this time

Start OTS. Copy/Paste the information in the quotebox below into the panel where it says "Paste fix here" and then click the Run Fix button.

Code: [Select]
[Unregister Dlls]
[Files/Folders - Created Within 30 Days]
NY ->  #ISW.FS# -> C:\Users\DAV\AppData\Roaming\#ISW.FS#
[Empty Temp Folders]
[EmptyFlash]
[CreateRestorePoint]
 

The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup telling you that it is finished. Click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix.  Post that information back here

I will review the information when it comes back in.

Thanks. Do I paste this into all the computers that had Trojan.fakeMS removed by Mbam or is there a simpler way to finish cleaning?

Ah there was more than one ?

No this was specific to the one machine I saw - it may be different for the others

@ Essexboy: don't think that it matters, anyway I noticed in the OTS report that there were several unmounted/unloaded drives (truecrypted or bitlockered)... is it very unlikely that the malware could have affected data on those drives?

So what do I do with the others? I run Mbam almost daily. I do not know how this got onto so many non connected computers. They share a router, but they are all configured not to talk to each other and they are all 2 way firewalled. How do these programs (OTS)find all the places I can not find to hide files? I see 0104211etc in notepad, but it is lost to me. It says all processes killed etc.

As they are encrypted drives it would be highly unlikely, not impossible but improbable  ;D

Are you getting redirects on th esystems ?

Run OTS on each system and post the logs (naming each system) and then I can do a specific fix if required

well they must be mounted/unlocked off and on, and then they're vulnerable like any other drive ;)

edit: well if encrypted volumes aren't mounted at boot time and the malware can only hit when the system boots, then they're safe ;D

OK. Here is another that had Trojan.FakeMS just removed today. Does it need a fix code? Thanks.

Is this Trojan.FakeMS a key logger?

No it is not a keylogger it is a trigger to download other malware - similar fix for this one

Start OTS. Copy/Paste the information in the quotebox below into the panel where it says "Paste fix here" and then click the Run Fix button.

Code: [Select]
[Unregister Dlls]
[Files/Folders - Created Within 30 Days]
NY ->  #ISW.FS# -> C:\Users\I7\AppData\Roaming\#ISW.FS#
[Empty Temp Folders]
[EmptyFlash]
[CreateRestorePoint]
