I've tried everything. CWS says look2me removed then it returns. Ewido says trojan.crypt.o removed then it returns. spysweeper says virtumonde removed then it returns. Help!
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.
Download HijackThis into this folder.

If required a tutorial is here = Hijackthis Folder Tutorial

Links to Hijack This! v 1.99.1:

Hijack This! at tools.radiosplace.com

Hijack This! at spywarewarrior.com

Run it from that folder.

Click "Do a system scan and save a log file".

DO NOT "FIX" ANYTHING WITH IT YET!!!
FIXING THE WRONG THING COULD RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE!!!

Download L2mfix from one of these two locations:

http://www.atribune.org/downloads/l2mfix.exe

http://www.downloads.subratam.org/l2mfix.exe

Save the file to your desktop and l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix folder on your desktop.

l2mfix.bat and select option #1 for Run Find Log by typing 1 and then pressing .

This will scan your computer and it may appear nothing is happening, then, after a minute or 2, Notepad will open with a log. Copy/paste the contents of that log into this thread.


IMPORTANT: Do NOT run option #2 OR any other files in the l2mfix folder until you are asked to do so!


Download/install APM

Run APM

Click on each item in the upper window, then look in the lower window.

Check to see which processes are using C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtstr.dlll

Post back letting me know all processes using that DLL.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtstv.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtstv.ini
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vturq.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtsqq.dll


Step 3:

Print out the following instructions as you will not have Internet Access for the rest of this fix.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

The rest of this fix must be done in safe mode.

Unzip Process Explorer and double click on procexp.exe

In the top section of the Process Exlporer screen double-click on winlogon.exe to bring up the winlogon.exe properties screen. Click on the Threads tab at the top.

Once you see this screen click on each instance of:

vtstr.dll

once and then click the kill button.

After you have killed all of:

vtstr.dll

under winlogon click OK.

If you see any of the files listed below, kill them as well.

Files to look for:
————————–

awtss.dll
awtst.dll
gebya.dll
gebyw.dll
jkhhf.dll
jkkji.dll
pmnll.dll
rtstv.ini2
rtstv.bak2
rtstv.tmp
rtstv.ini
vturq.dll
vtsqq.dll

BE SURE TO KILL ONLY THESE FILES!!!

Probably not all of them will be present. That is OK.

Next double-click on explorer.exe, select the Threads tab, and again click once on each instance of:

vtstr.dll

then click the kill button.

If you see any of the files listed below kill them as well.

Files to look for:
————————–

awtss.dll
awtst.dll
gebya.dll
gebyw.dll
jkhhf.dll
jkkji.dll
pmnll.dll
rtstv.ini2
rtstv.bak2
rtstv.tmp
rtstv.ini
vturq.dll
vtsqq.dll

BE SURE TO KILL ONLY THESE FILES!!!

Probably not all of them will be present. That is OK

Once you have done that click OK again.

Next run Hijack This! and place a check beside each of the following.

O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {52B1DFC7-AAFC-4362-B103-868B0683C697} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtstr.dll

O20 - Winlogon Notify: vtstr - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtstr.dll

Now click Fix checked and close HijackThis.

Now double-click on the vundo.reg file that you saved on your desktop earlier and allow it to merge with the registry.

Step 4:

On the desktop, open the "killme.txt" file with Notepad.

Then copy the all file names in the "killme.txt" to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing C (hold the key down, then press C):

Close "killme.txt".

Double click on Killbox.exe and then check the Delete on reboot button.

In Killbox, click File (in the upper left of Killbox), and choose "Paste from Clipboard".

Click the red dot with the white X in it, in the upper right of Killbox, then click "Yes", and "Yes" again.

After the reboot, "copy/paste" a new Hijack This! log file into this thread. :)

  • Pressing any key will cause a "Blue Screen of Death" this is normal, do not worry!
  • Once your machine reboots please continue with the instructions below.
Copy a new HijackThis log and the vundofix.txt file from the vundofix folder into this topic.
Thanks for the solutions but I can't boot into safe mode. The screen just goes black after a window (the do you want to use system restore window I think) pops up for a nanno second then disappears without a Yes or NO Acknowledgement. If I start explorer.exe from the file menu it works for awhile then shuts down again. Thanks
Not sure if I understand….. :scratch: If you can boot in "safe mode", but have no "start menu" or desktop, I can post a way around that… Is that your situation? :unsure:
Please prepare your system for METHOD 2.

After booting in "safe mode", push these three keys at the same time:



The task manager appears on the screen.

Click on the Applications tab, then click New task.

Then click on Browse.

"Browse" your system to the KillVundo.bat file in the VundoFix folder, then click OK.

Everything else should be "automatic" after that.
:)
Here are files you asked for.
Thanks for all your help.

Good job!!!

Just a little cleanup left. :thumbup:

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

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Check to be sure all of these files are gone:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtstr.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\awtss.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\awtst.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\gebya.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\gebyw.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\jkhhf.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\jkkji.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\pmnll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtstv.ini2
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtstv.bak2
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtstv.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\System32\rtstv.ini
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vturq.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vtsqq.dll

If not, delete the ones that are hanging around.

They may be "hidden".

Be sure to show hidden files when looking for them.

I see this in the log:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSConfig] C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe /auto

Do you have anything disabled via Msconfig that I should be aware of?
:unsure:
Your amazing!! I didn't find any of the files in system32 folder. In msconfig I have diasabled real player, quicktime, HP printer programs, acrobat and some other programs I don't use very often. There were also ones that I uninstalled that were still there so I unchecked them also. Should I just recheck them all? I can't thank you enough for all your super fast help. :D
Oh yeah I forgot to mention. Safe mode boots properly now. CWS shredder says no files found. Spybot says 1 entryWindows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify Should I enable this? Thanks

Spybot says 1 entryWindows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify

on it (in the Spybot window) and choose Ignore.

It's saying that because you already have Antivirus protection installed.

C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus

Don't "uncheck" anything in Msconfig that you don't want to.

Some users get fed up with malware and disable it with MSconfig.

I was just checking to be sure that wasn't the case here.

Looks like you're "good to go"!!!

I'm glad the forrums at TomCoyote.org have been of assistance.

GOD bless you, Sir!!!

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

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

Download/install IE-Spyad

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 at Qualsys.com

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.
