Hi there,

My computer is infected with some ugly stuff that I cannot detect with my antivirus and antispyware software. I performed full scansand cleaned all I could, but still I have problems:

- my Firefox browser pops-up some hijacking webpages from time to time
- Some of my files have gone missing (some archives)
- I was infested with Prepender.E and managed to get read of it (at least I think so), but from time to time my Antivirus warns me of Prepender activity on SystemVolumeInformation folders

Here is my HijackThis log:

Please tell me what to remove and what to do next.
Should I boot in Safer Mode when removing the infected things?

Thanks!

Hi abscident,


A little bad news:

This is one of the worst cases of malware I have seen in a long time and one or more of the identified infections is a backdoor Trojan.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

However, if you do not have the resources to reinstall your computer and would like me to attempt to clean it, I will be happy to do so.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post.



Thanks, 2OG

P.S. I will be working through Sunday and may not be able to get back to you until Monday so, think it over, let me know and I?ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for your answer.

This is indeed bad news, and I think the best solution in this situation is to format my computer.

It is the last thing I wanted to do, but I prefer to stay safe.

Tomorrow I'll try to put a log for my other computer, to make sure I will fully eliminate the malware.

Do you have any idea on how did I get such trojan infection?

Thanks again for your help.

Everything is fine now, right?

Tomorrow I will post a log for my other computer, to see if it's clean or not. I haven't experienced problems with it, but it was connected to this one on the local network, so it might be infected too.

Hey abscident,

This Log is CLEAN..
I don?t see an AntiVirus? you really need one.
I use and recommend Avira AntiVir Free.

See TonyKlein's good advice
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Thanks for your reply.

The log was made immediately after installing Windows, and this is why I didn't have any antivirus. Now I have:
AVG Antivirus, Avira Antivirus, A-Squared Anti Spyware, Lavasoft Ad Aware, Spyware Blaster and Online Armor Firewall. I hope I'm well protected now :)

As I said, I would like to check my other computer too, because I want to make sure I get rid of any malware. Here is the log for my second computer:

Can you please tell me if this one is clean? I will need to restore some information to my first computer, and I don't want to bring some spyware with them.

Hi abscident,

Your Logs are clean.
Looks like you have it under control, now..

AVG Antivirus, Avira Antivirus, A-Squared Anti Spyware, Lavasoft Ad Aware, Spyware Blaster and Online Armor Firewall. I hope I'm well protected now :)


I personally prefer AntiVir over AVG. AVG is a Resource Hog and tends to slow down your browser..
Never have more than One AV running at a time, they will conflict and cause problems?

Be careful with A-Squared, it?s very aggressive and finds a lot of FP?s (False Positives) and, if your not careful, you can delete things that are not bad and may be necessary.

Looking Good! Any problems??

Never heard of A-squared but anyway if you find it's a bit of hog or whatever (AVG 8.0 contains a spyware detector),& you want a realtime scanner that won't take up stuff all cpu & will provide you with a warning of any app or anything that attempts to install itself & lets you cancel the install action, spywareterminator,you won't have to be concerned at deleting system files or files you need.I used it for more than a year it's free ,you will also find it makes spyware blaster & adaware redundent

Thanks for your answers and advices.

I have uninstalled AVG, and kept only Avira Antivir. I also downloaded and installed Spyware Terminator.

I hope I will be able to stay away from viruses and spyware in the future.

All the best!

Hey abscident,

You know, If you ask 50 people on here what they consider The Best software, you?ll get 50 different answers. And each one will think their choice is the only way to go. ; )

You must make up your own mind.. Here are some Links to Free software, tips, suggestions, etc. Look them over?

Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
? Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
? Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
? The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
? Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
? Click OK
? Click the More Options Tab.
? Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.
.
----------

Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
? Click Start Now
? Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
? Click Start
? Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
? Update anything listed.
.
----------

Important: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer regularly to protect your computer from the malware and other security threats that are on the Internet. Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

If you are running any Microsoft Office version go to the Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.

----------

Make sure all of your security programs are up to date and run scans with them regularly. Once or twice a week minimum.

Here are some great FREE tools to help you keep from getting infected again. These tools use little or no resources so won't slow down your PC.

To prevent unknown applications from being installed on your computer install WinPatrol 2008
Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

Another thing I would suggest installing SiteAdvisor. SiteAdvisor rates sites on business practices and spam.

SpywareBlaster - Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for these ActiveX programs to run on your computer. Also stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.
*Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
*If you don't know what ActiveX controls are, see here

Check out Keeping Yourself Safe On The Web for tips and free tools to keep you safe in the future.

Also see Slow Computer? It May Not Be Malware for free cleaning/maintenance tools to help keep your computer running smooth.

Make sure you enable HIP's in spyterminator (2nd tab along) it'll increase the strength of defence to the maximum.Since you have emule & utorrent it'd pay to scan the downloads once finished before opening,one thing you need to be careful of is a mp3 or mpeg that opens a web page to a codec download,that's a no no unless your using returnil,as the codec can be used as a vehicle to infect,the only other advice get ghost or acronis either of those two is a must not even 2old would disagree on that point :p

Edit: Actually yes he would he'd say acronis :p

I have created a Windows Restore Point, and also enabled HIP's in Spyware Terminator.
My computer is running well now, and I think it's pretty well protected thanks to your advices.

If I'll experience any other problems in the future I know where to come and ask for help :)

Thanks to all who replied and helped me deal with this issue.
