Hi,

This is long but I figured I'd include whatever info I can.

So a week or two ago I stupidly picked up a virus from a WinRAR file I extracted. I have two drives and after extracting it onto my drive D, the whole system started slowing down. After ending a process associated with realtek audio (my mobo sound driver process, RTHDCPL.exe) the system stopped slowing down. I also deleted the contents of the WinRAR and everything in that directory even, but of course that did nothing.

The virus didn't seem to do anything bad except every day, about 2-3 times a day my speakers would blurt out the words "SHAKE THAT THING" from that song by Sean Paul. I have made SURE that this is not a banner, AIM sound, or any other goofy thing. This thing is somehow a part of the virus.

After a few days of just this, my computer eventually started getting blue screens of death and having weird things happen to the screen. I reformatted both drives with the full NTFS type and also powered off right after I deleted my partitions, to try and make sure the virus wasn't staying in memory. I got my computer back up and running. However after a day or two of normality I started hearing the "SHAKE THAT THING" sound again, and sure enough, after some more time my computer just started crashing and getting blue screens. Eventually one of my hard drives stopped being detected.

I looked into this and found out that I probably had a boot sector virus, since they survived NTFS formats. Either that or it's possible the virus resides somewhere in memory during the format. Also, it's possible that I am being infected as soon as I connect to the net after my formats.

So I figured I'd use an HD nuker. I got Kill Disk and nuked the D drive, which was the drive having trouble being detected, then did a full ntfs reformat on both drives. I couldn't use Kill Disk on the C since I don't have a bootable disk for it… if I had I think I might not be getting this problem, because the virus has come back and is playing that noise again.

So here I am. My computer is fine (both drives work) but will probably go down in a few days. It's been a day and I already hear that noise a few times a day. I want to know if there is a way I can do this without using a DBAN boot disk or something to nuke both drives. Basically if I can't get a response here I will nuke both drives with Kill Disk, then shut down my computer. After that I'll reinstall windows and install AVG or McAfee from a CD or something before plugging in my ethernet. However I'd like to get some professional help before I go through this tiresome process as I'm sick of reformats.

Any advice? Can this thing even be removed? Here is my HJT log.

System:

This is a desktop, two 500GB harddrives running Windows XP SP3. The mobo is a Gigabye P45 or something, I can't remember. All of the parts were bought in January and treated quite well. For defense I am currently running AVG and Spybot SD, but they were not installed prior to connecting to the internet (AVG was installed about 5 minutes afterwards, ASAP) so this might be the root of the problem. Still, if there is a way to remove without reformat I would love to hear it.

That GEST process looks suspicious but I have no knowledge in reading these things.

Sorry about the delay in responding

If you still need help, Scan again with HijackThis, and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Hello! Thank you for responding

My computer runs at optimal speed right now. No hang-ups, no nothing. However the sound still plays occasionally. Generally once a day I will hear it, but if I do hear it, it will be several times within 15 minutes or so after I hear it. And then I might never hear it again for hours and hours, or until the next day.

Within the next few days my computer will probably stop functioning again. This virus doesn't cause minor hang-ups… it just hides, joking for a while, and then makes the PC inoperable until I reformat. The first time, I just kept getting blue screens of death crashing my comp. The second time, it made one of my harddrives undetectable and caused significant system slowdown.

Everything works now but it won't be long; so please help!

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix, SmitfraudFix, MBAM, Vundofix, or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.

Stay with this topic until I give you the all clean post.

You might want to print these instructions out.

I suggest you do this:

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

So the Malwarebytes scan didn't find anything. My computer is still functioning fine. Because the audio plays so infrequently per day (but ALWAYS at least a few times a day) I can't tell you if it's gone, but I will definitely know within the next 48 or so hours.

If it's hidden on your pc this might find it.

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : Protective Programs
Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

Note: Combofix will run without the Recovery Console installed.
As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

[external image: Posted Image]

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
"copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread as well.

Notes:

1.Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
3. Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you – please tell your helper.
4. CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Give it atleast 20-30 minutes to finish if needed.

Please don't attach the scans / logs, use "copy/paste".

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Okay! I made sure AVG was off and everything. However I guess Spybot was not all the way off. After Combo Fix finished it (Spybot SD) detected some registry changes, all of which I allowed through since I assumed they were Combo Fix's doing. I don't know if that effected results; should I uninstall Spybot and try this step again? I should make note that these changes were somehow associated with the ALCWZRD process. These are related to my Realtek Audio drivers. If there is a problem it really seems like it is related to them in some way.

Computer is still functioning fine, and I haven't heard the sound yet but I can't know until I give it some time.

Thank you so much for this help, by the way. Should I turn AVG back on now? Or should I try another combo scan with Spybot SD uninstalled?

Copy/paste the text in the Codebox below into notepad:

Here's how to do that:
Click Start > Run type Notepad click OK.
This will open an empty notepad file:

Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the box below, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'. Now over the empty Notepad box, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text.

Once again Spybot detected changes, assumed they were all ComboFix so I allowed them through. Computer status is the same, and I haven't heard the audio thing but as I said only time will really tell about that.

Update Java
Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.
First remove the older versions:

Download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.
Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program.
Click on Remove Older Versions to remove the older versions of Java installed on your computer.
Click Yes when prompted. When JavaRa is done, a notice will appear that a logfile has been produced. Click OK.
A logfile will pop up. Please save it to a convenient location.

Now let's download and install the newest version:

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 10.
Click on Windows XP/Vista/2000/2003 Offline and save the downloaded file to your desktop.
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.
Reboot your computer.

Steps complete. I still haven't heard that telltale noise, and nothing appears to be functioning improperly. I really wish there was a way for me to know I'm clean without just waiting for that thing to play… but I suppose I should be thankful that it announces itself like that.

Well I can't say anything jumped out at me so only time will tell.

Be sure to do this:

The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

To be on the safe side, I would also change all my passwords.

Here's my usual all clean post

Log looks good
- Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  - From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  - Click once on the Security tab
  - Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  - Click once on the Custom Level button.
  - Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  - Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  - Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  - Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  - Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  - Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  - When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
  - If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
- Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
(Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
until there are no more critical updates.
Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

A thousand thank yous

You have been really helpful and are definitely a professional at this. Is it okay to have both Spybot SD and AVG at the same time? Or will they interfere with each other? If, god forbid, in some time I hear the sound again… should I post in this thread again? That's all really. Thank you again.

SpyBot and AVG work well together. I'll leave this topic open for days.
