I see that you have helped someone with the Skynet trojan. I have MBAM and McAfee and both have stopped sensing this, but I get errors on startup and when I start programs that say "dll globalroot\systemroot\system32\skynet……. " is not correct graphic file. You should have seen me trying to run the DDS! Popups everywhere. When this first started both MBAM and McAfee found the trojan and supposedly quarentined it and deleted it. Not! I hope you can help me. I also read around that I might have to format my hard drive to get rid of it and to keep it from getting my personal info. Hope not. Here are the files you need: ROOTREPEAL © AD, 2007-2009 ================================================== Scan Start Time: 2009/09/09 15:18 Program Version: Version 1.3.5.0 Windows Version: Windows XP SP2 ================================================== Drivers ——————- Name: dump_atapi.sys Image Path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\dump_atapi.sys Address: 0xAAC3E000 Size: 98304 File Visible: No Signed: - Status: - Name: dump_WMILIB.SYS Image Path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\dump_WMILIB.SYS Address: 0xF9A0A000 Size: 8192 File Visible: No Signed: - Status: - Name: rootrepeal.sys Image Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\rootrepeal.sys Address: 0xA993A000 Size: 49152 File Visible: No Signed: - Status: - Name: SKYNETfvpeolwx.sys Image Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\SKYNETfvpeolwx.sys Address: 0xAAE49000 Size: 163840 File Visible: - Signed: - Status: Hidden from the Windows API!

Hi , welcome to the forum.

To make cleaning this machine easier
  • Please do not uninstall/install any programs unless asked to
    It is more difficult when files/programs are appearing in/disappearing from the logs.
  • Please do not run any scans other than those requested
  • Please follow all instructions in the order posted
  • All logs/reports, etc.. must be posted in Notepad. Please ensure that word wrap is unchecked. In notepad click format, uncheck word wrap if it is checked.
  • Do not attach any logs/reports, etc.. unless specifically requested to do so.
  • If you have problems with or do not understand the instructions, Please ask before continuing.
  • Please stay with this thread until given the All Clear. A absence of symptoms does not mean a clean machine.

Please note: you will need to disable both McAfee viruscan and Firewall in order to run this next tool.

Here are some more detailed instructions for McAfee

To disable the scanner
  • Click Advanced Menu (lower left)
  • Click Configure (left)
  • Click Computer & Files (upper left)
  • Make sure the following are disabled by ticking the "Off" button.
    • Virus protection
    • Spyware protection
    • System Guards Protection
    • Script Scanning Protection (you may have to scroll down to see it)
    • Next, set it when it should resume (30 minutes should be sufficient) or you choose Never, and re-enable manually after ComboFix has completed it's tasks.
    Firewall is disabled from the Internet and Network link on the left.




    Please read through the instructions to familarize youself with what to expect when the tool runs.

    It is vitally important that combofix is renamed before it is even started to download


    Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

    **Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

    • If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:
      -Tools->Options->Main tab
      -Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".
    • During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:

    [external image: Posted Image]

    [external image: Posted Image]

    • It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
    • Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
    • Close any open browsers.
    • Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix

    ———————————————————–

    • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
    • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.

      ———————————————————–

    • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • 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.

    [external image: Posted Image]


    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.

    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. 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.

    Please post back with
    • Combofix log
    How's the computer now?

    Thanks
Well, when it restarted there were NO pop-ups regarding the skynetsingwvho.dll file. Thank goodness!
Before I add the combofix.txt I wanted to ask about the anti-virus I have now. Apparently it is not doing it's job! It was/is provided free from Cox. If I could afford to I would have switched to Norton or AVG. I am, unfortunately, unable to do that at this time. I am worried about my personal information and banking information that is on this computer. I know I need to change the passwords and I will on my daughter's computer.
Here's the combofix.txt:

Hi lasvegmom,

My aplogies, I had meant to post this in my reply. You can put a watch on your accounts by contacting the bank/credit card company you deal with.

Your system has been infected by one or more Rootkits/Backdoor Trojans.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

More information on Remote Access Trojans can be found here.

I strongly suggest you do the following immediately:
  • Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.
  • From a known clean computer, change *all* your online passwords – for email, for banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, any online forums or groups you belong to.
  • DO NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passwords and transaction information.

I suggest you read:

  • Danger: Remote Access Trojans.
  • When should I re-format? How should I reinstall?
  • How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and Credit Card Fraud?

As for your antivirus program. We see infected logs here with all the major vendors represented. No one antivirus program will catch it all. The best approach is layered protection consisting of an antivirus program, antispyware program and firewall. Even this is 100% bulletproof as the malware authors can and will find ways around them.

Please do not make any changes to your system until we are done. I will give you more tips and suggestions at the end including links to good frre programs that can help.

Your java is out of date. Click your start button, open Control panel.
  • Locate the Java icon (it looks like a coffee cup)
  • double click it to open it
  • click the Update tab
  • Click update now

After the java is updated, reboot your computer if not prompted to.

You have this program installed, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Please update it and run a scan.

Open MBAM

  • Click the Update tab
  • Click Check for Updates
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • The program will close to update and reopen.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.
Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.

*Note
It is recommended to disable onboard antivirus program and antispyware programs while performing scans so there are no conflicts and it will speed up scan time.
Please don't go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable your antivirus along with your antispyware programs.



Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.
  • Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
  • It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions.
  • You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
  • When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
  • Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button
    • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
    • Archives
    • Mail databases
  • Click on My Computerr under Scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
  • You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As….
  • Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt)
  • Set the Save In to Desktop
  • click the Save button.
  • Please post this log in your next reply.

Please post back with
  • MBAM log
  • Kaspersky log
  • new DDS log taken after all other steps are complete
Thanks
sorry it took so long. OK, I was unable to update the Java. It said I already had the most recent version. Then I tried to update the MBAM. It gave me an error that a file could not be updated. I had to uninstall it and re-install it. Then ran it OK. Here are the .txt that you asked for.

Hi lasvegmom,

sorry it took so long.

No problem.

Looking good so far. Just a little fix.

We will use combofix again, but run it differently.

Please follow all previous instructions regarding security programs.

Open a new Notepad session
  • Click the Start button, click run
  • in the run box type notepad
  • click ok
  • In the notepad, Click "Format" and be certain that Word Wrap is not checked.
  • Copy and paste all the text in the code box below into the Notepad. Do Not copy the word CODE
Do Not copy the word CODE

DDS::
uURLSearchHooks: H - No File
mURLSearchHooks: H - No File

In the notepad
  • Click File, Save as…, and set the Save in to your Desktop
  • In the filename box, type (including quotation marks) as the filename: "CFScript.txt"
  • Click save
Using your mouse left button, drag the new file CFscript.txt and drop it on the ComboFix.exe icon as shown below.

This will start ComboFix again.Close all browser/windows first.

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

Please post back with the combofix log and a new DDS log. Are you having any problems?

Thanks
hope this did everything right because I left the room to make dinner!

Hi lasvegmom,

Looks good. If no problems, we'll clean up our tools.

From your desktop, please delete
  • any notepads/logs that we created
  • DDS.scr
  • RootRepeal.exe

Click the Start button, click Run. Copy and paste the following line into the run box and click OK
Combofix /u

I suggest you keep MBAM. Keep MBAM updated and use it regularly.

Basic security consists of 1 antivirus program, 1 resident antispyware program, 1 on demand antispyware program and a firewall. You have an antivirus program, an on demand antispyware (MBAM), and a firewall.
