First of all, open Spybot S&D, click Mode>Advanced>Tools>Resident and remove the check from the Tea Timer box. You can reinstate it later but we don't want it interfering with what we need to do. Reboot when done.

Click here, for instructions on how to enable hidden files and folders to be visible. After enabling, find, zip and send this file:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\msupd4.exe

to this e-mail address including a link to this thread in the body of the email. It may be OK but I'd like to take a closer look at it - I'll get back to you about it if any further action is required.

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

Reboot when done, rescan with HJT and post a new log here.
Post #3
Daemon,

Have done all you recommended. The msupdate.exe file was picked by TD-3 as a probable webloader, but I have not removed it yet until you have had time to look at it - attached to sent email.

Hijack log is as follows:

Yes it's bad.

Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager. Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes:

msupd4.exe

Exit the Task Manager when finished, find and delete: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msupd4.exe

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

Followed instructions but can't seem to get rid of your 02 - BHO listed items.

With regard to dcresearch it seems to be for redirecting to diamondcs webpage for help for TD-3 software, see link:

Before you replied I tried manually removing the keys with regdit (after backing up), and after identifying that they were in two locations and that one set needed it's permissions altered, I managed to remove the keys you identified in your post no. 2

I have disabled the C:\WINDOWS\system32\phndbqvc.dll key only, with BHODemon, because looking at the key in regedit it could be legit, but I am not sure? Full key name is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A18C4E61-4867-3892-CE60-1A3045511385}\InprocServer32 & HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A18C4E61-4867-3892-CE60-1A3045511385}\TypeLib

My Hijack log is below and seems to show that I have got rid of the keys identified in your second post?

That file is bad:

Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.gn

General description:

Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.gn is an independently working program with a hidden payload which for example spys out passwords.


Please delete it from your system and fix the O2 entry. Post a new HJT when done.

Removed the offending dll file and register keys.

I guess I better contact the on-line bank to check for fraud?

To help keep you clean follow the recommendations in Tony's article here:

So how did I get infected in the first place?
