Post #1
Yesterday morning I was hit with CWS and a couple of other nasty bits.

Probs appear to be:
CWS
backdoor agent B
trojan byte verify
bloodhound exploit B

Symptoms:
browser HJ'd to easy search.biz
unabale to browse to any malware sites.
unable to complete installation of MS service packs
unable to complete Norton scans
unable to access cwskiller after installed
when I reboot, sys installs hpcmmger.exe
after running Spybot S&D and attempting to fix red items I recvd the mssg. "The application has failed to startbecause msjava.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem."

found this on the desktop: (hs_err_pid3052.log)
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

Sorry your log slipped by. :(

Please try this for your browser hijack:

Download FxAgentB.exe from here and save it to your desktop. After downloading, double-click the FxAgentB file to run it and the program will scan your entire hard drive - this may take a while. When it is done, it will generate a log file called FxAgentB.log - save that information as you will need to paste it here later. Reboot when done.

Next click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. If you already have CWShredder, click 'Check for update' and make sure you are running version 1.59.1. Reboot when done.

Then click here to download Ad-Aware SE and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Click "Start", select "Perform Full System scan" and "Next" to start the scan. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot.


You've also got some nasty virii/trojans/worms running loose.

Please go here:

System Restore

To learn how to turn system restore ON/OFF.

Then turn system restore OFF

Then try these free online virus scans of your system:

Trend-Micro Housecall

Panda Activescan

Etrust Security Advisor

Choose "fix" or "clean".

Let them remove any infections found. Reboot after each scan.

Then turn system restore ON

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
MOVE HijackThis into this folder.

If required a tutorial is here = Hijackthis Folder Tutorial

Reboot when done, rescan with HijackThis and post a new log here, together with the FxAgentB log.

Thanks for your response:

FX Agent found nothing..No log supplied

cwshredder - complete
adaware - it is finding a H KEY file. Tries to fix but comes back
Spybot - it finds and attempts to fix but items always return
Norton - Finds nothing
Trend Micro - finds nothing

I apologize.

I have this set to send me an email when you reply. I must have missed this one. :oops:

Turn system restore OFF

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Scan".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://easy-search.biz

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:NavigationFailure

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:NavigationFailure

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\windows\lssas.exe <— file

c:\windows\mservice.exe <— file

c:\windows\msqdevl.exe <— file

c:\windows\stisvsq.exe <— file

c:\windows\svshost.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Turn system restore ON

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)

Goodmorning Micah

Thanks for the reply

I ran the scan as instructed and deleted the items as requested, however a couple of lines inthe new log did not list the following:
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:NavigationFailure

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:NavigationFailure

All others were deleted as directed.

I discovered that you cannot turn restore ON in safe mode.

While in safe mode, there were several other files in Windows that were modified at the same moment as the ones that you directed me to delete. I didn't do anything to them, just thought you should know. These files are:
msiau.dll
csrss.dll
smssa.dll
taskmgr.dll
uvchost.dll
winlogon.dll

Hi Micah

Looks like we are on the right track

After I re-booted and went to safe mode for the windows files, none of the .exe items were there. I did double check to make sure that it was set to show invisiable files.

Hope you know how much I appreciate your help.

Thanks
Ziv

Looks like you got it all!!! :thumbup:

GOD bless you and yours!!!

M68 :)

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?" here:

http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957

Download IE-Spyad here:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings here:

http://browsercheck.qualys.com/index.php

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.
