I am getting Avast malware detections telling me I have Win32:Trojan-gen and Win32:Rootkit-gen of which I have moved many to Virus Chest. The result of the malware is that I get about half webpage links re-directed to other advertising sites or telling me: OOPS - there is a page error. Also Avast blocks numerous attempted access to a site called: www.inclabtec.biz.uk.so In addition I get Windows Application Error boxes for different things such as: 0x7c911129 instruction referenced memory at 0x00184d4d. The memory could not be read. Computer runs slow or hangs sometimes. Help cleaning out malwares would be appreciated. thanks and regards bar457 (Barry) DDS report as follows ( I do not know if I have any script blocking, but have not specifically installed any that I know of):- DDS (Ver_09-06-26.01) -

Hello Barry and welcome to the forums here at WTT.

:welcome:

Identity Theft

It looks like you have been infected by a few Backdoor Trojans.

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

Its very possible that anything could have been installed on your computer by the remote attacker, including opening other backdoors and installing rootkits. While we can attempt to clean what we see in your logs, we cannot guarantee that your computer will be completely in the clear since we have no way of knowing that has been done to the computer. Your computer could be completely compromised at this moment. It may be prudent to backup your information, reformat, and reinstall.

More information on Remote Access Trojans can be found here.

I suggest you do the following immediately:
  • Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.
  • From a 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.

If, however, you decide that the computer is not used for any sensitive work, or if you do not wish to reformat at this time, I can help you clean your computer to the best of my abilities. I must remind you that i cannot guarantee that your computer will be completely clean afterwards since we have no way of knowing what has been done to it.

To help you make your decision, here are a few related articles that 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?

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

Please let me know what you decide to do in your next post.

Hello Indigenus Thanks for your reply. I have had no more Avast virus warnings or error boxes since my last posting, although I am still getting web re-directs when clicking links, mostly to an advertising site page called www.road-traffic.com which offers other sites to look at. Also no more detection of trying to access site: www.inclabtec.biz.uk I forgot to say that I could not get System Restore to work with several restore dates I tried. Also when I tried to run a HijackThis scan, it displayed everything except 01 items, as it said a hosts file has invalid linebreaks and these items could not be reported. I have checked my Avast virus chest files and can see that the Rootkit-gen malware was actually back in 2008, so we can discount that. Many of the detected malware files in my Avast virus chest have been in temp or Temp internet files, so these will have been removed when running CleanUp software. Most of them were Win32:malware- gen . I do not have any personal sensitive info on the computer such as bank account details, etc, so would like to go for the help with clean up rather than re-format . I know that I need to follow your instructions exactly and will do. Hope I do not need to turn off the antivirus and firewall as I worry that I may be still under attack! cheers…………..bar457 Your help in wiping these little suckers will be much appreciated.

Okay good enough….

Hope I do not need to turn off the antivirus and firewall as I worry that I may be still under attack

You will need to turn off the AV, but not your Firewall. It's only temporary and won't be for long, do don''t worry.

We will begin with ComboFix.exe. Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

* Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

Hi Indigenus Ok, I ran Combofix which completed ok and installed the Windows XP Recovery Module. It then started the restart process a message showed saying :- PV.cfxxe-DLL Initialisation Failed, because unit was shutting down. It required me to click OK to progress. On restarting, I entered the User Name/ password details and it started to progress, but very quickly a black screen appeared with the message: Non-system disk or disk error, replace and strike any key when ready (with cursor flashing underneath) the computer is stuck there and I am messaging you from another computer - hope you know what to do here !! ps. I did not get an email advising I had a reply on your site, I went and looked today as I thought it was taking a while to hear and there was your reply (still no email at time of posting). thanks bar457

Have you tried rebooting again? If not please do so. Also try booting to Safe Mode if that doesn't work. Press F8 on start up then select Safe Mode from the menu.

ps. I did not get an email advising I had a reply on your site, I went and looked today as I thought it was taking a while to hear and there was your reply (still no email at time of posting).

Make sure to check your Junk or Spam folders if you have filters on.

Also make sure you have email notification on in the forum Control Panel.

Indigenus Good news, after couple of attempts, a power down and restart worked. ——————– Had RUNDLL : Error message Error loading : C:\\Docs & Settings\Administrator\Applications Data\93b7f60d-dd2e-47c5-887e-49ff2bfa6857-42.avi module could not be found. ——————– Also cannot find ComboFix report file .txt looked everywhere in C:\ComboFix but not to be seen, and not on desktop, so think we may have lost it - any ideas? ps. Got the reply email straight away this time, so seems to be working again. bar457
Post #8
I would really like to see another go with combofix. Looks like it did part of what it needed to but didn't finish for some reason.
Post #9
Indigenus Difficulty running Combofix again, first it kept telling me Avast online scanner was detected running even though I had disabled all parts of it and I am pretty sure it was not, in the end I have uninstalled Avast just to be safe. Then I tried to run ComboFix and it said a newer version was available and I should update, so I clicked for that but it did not install. So I decided to run the old version I had, but now that will not run and just tells me: ComboFix has encountered a problem and needs to close. I cannot get past that. So I tried to delete it so I could download it again by RUN: combofix /uninstall or combofix /u but neither would work and I just got the same message that it had encountered a problem and needed to close. It would be good to run it again as it has already made a massive difference and the computer runs like greased lightning. What steps should we take? bar457

EDIT: Removed DDS instructions to include new combofix instructions.

It has been reported that there are issues with the version at bleepingcomputer. Please delete the copy you have and download a copy from the link below.

http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
Post #12
Indigenus Ok, I have been looking further and it appears that the relating files have been removed from within the C:\ ComboFix . However, the folder is still present and now contains a duplicate of all the 'My Computer' folders. This of course contains another C:\ folder which includes another ComboFix folder. This contains another duplicate of all the 'My Computer' folders and so on - this repeats itself as you go on opening the Combofix folders It seems the 'My Computer' in Explorer has been compromised with this duplication error within the Combofix folder. I am thinking maybe we should leave this alone and not try to run a new download of ComboFix and trust the previous run has done it's job. It did produce a report file at the end of it's scan but this appeared to get lost in the aborted restart. Would you have planned to run any other removal or cleanup tools following ComboFix, perhaps we should pick up from there, would you need me to run any other reports for viewing at this point. What do you think? bar 457
Post #13

Can you tell me how to delete it, as I said in my last message I have tried to uninstall and it would not work ?

Just simply right click on it and select delete. Or drag it to the recycling bin. We'll uninstall it when were done. Yes, I'd like to run the new version.
