Hi,

I started getting alerts from McAfee about a Pup appearing in my Temporary Internet
Files. The program was called Dialer-269 and the file name was gdnUS2218.exe. Attempts to
delete it through McAfee were unsuccessful because it apparently was marked as a read
only or perhaps system file.

I have manually deleted it several times, but it continues to return.

Then a program called SpywareQuake 2.0 installed itself on my computer. I have deleted it
several times using the XP Add-Remove Programs utility, but it reinstalls itself.

A full system scan with McAfee does not reveal any problems other than tracking cookies
and the gdnUS2218.exe file noted above.

Spybot v1.4 returned a Vcodec problem with two files: \system32\ts.ico and
\system32\ncompat.tlb. Spybot was able to delete the first file, but the second file
required a reboot. I deleted these files several times but they continue to return.

Along the way, something installed itself in my system tray. It is an icon that blinks
back and forth between a red circle with diagonal line through it, and what looks like a
green wheelchair symbol. Associated with it is a box that pops up just above the tray
that says:

Your computer is infected!
Critical System Error!
System detected virus activities. They may cause critical system failure. Please, use
antim alware (sic) software to clean and protect your system from parasite programs.
Click here to get all available software.

I have not clicked anything out of concern that it may make things worse.

Since I installed Ewido and scanned my computer, it is popping up periodically to say
that a file called ldDC49.tmp is showing up in \system32\1024, and that the infection is
called Downloader.Zlob.jc. Ewido has cleaned this several times and it keep reappearing.
It has also popped up to say that Spyware Quake is reinstalled. But as noted above,
after being uninstalled it continues to install itself.

The latest thing to happen is that each time I try to open "My Computer" it freezes.

I am running a 2-week old reinstall of XP Pro SP2 on a relatively current machine. Prior
to this problem I have been using use McAfee Online for my virus scanner, Ad Aware for my
anti-spyware software, and IE6 for my browser. (Have now switched to Firefox.)

HiJack This and Ewido scan logs are attached.

If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the Tom Coyote Forum.

Use at your own risk: The Tom Coyote forum, does not take responsibility for any outcome of following these directions. Every computer is different, so we cannot guarante the outcome. If you are apprehensive, please post a log from HijackThis in the designated forum and let us take a look and guide you to a clean system.

This is a "self help" to remove the SpywareQuake infection on Windows 2000 and all XP versions ONLY.If you don't have W2K or XP, please Register and post a HijackThis log for manual removal. Instructions are below.

Keep in mind this infection can be accompanied by other infections as well. We strongly suggest you Register after running this fix and posting a HijackThis log for one of the pro's to check over.

Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.

Please read these instructions carefully and print them out! Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

Please print out or copy these instructions\tutorials to Notepad as the internet will not be (while in Safe Mode) available to you at certain points of the removal process. Make sure to work through all the Steps in the exact order in which they are listed below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before moving on with the fixes.

Symptoms in a HijackThis Log should show this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SpywareQuake] C:\Program Files\SpywareQuake\SpywareQuake.exe /h

Note: Currently smitRem alone will not remove this infection. We are including it in this fix because Spyware Quake has been seen to install with other portions of the Smitfraud infection. The instructions here plus the use of smitRem should remove most, if not all, of this infection. Once smitRem is updated to include the removal of this infection, the guide will be updated accordingly.

Removal Instructions:

Print out these instructions as we will need to close every window that is open later in the fix.

Download SmitRem.exe. When downloading smitRem.exe save it to your desktop.

Double-click on the smitRem.exe file.

Click on the Start button and the program will start extracting the files into a folder on your desktop called smitRem. When it is finished, click on the OK button. If you look on your desktop you will now see a folder called smitRem. Don't run it yet.

Next, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode by doing the following:

Restart your computer

After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Close all open Windows.

Open the smitRem folder on your desktop

Double-click on the RunThis.bat file, as shown by the arrow in the image above, to start the tool.

When the tool starts you will see a series of screens with information on them. Read each screen, and when you are finished reading it, simply press any key on your keyboard. After reading the various screens that appear, the program will start the removal process.

If there is an uninstaller present for an infection that smitRem removes it will start this uninstaller.

Simply click on the Uninstall button and allow the uninstaller to finish. When it is completed, it will close automatically and smitRem will prompt you to continue. Now you should press any key to continue.

When no more uninstallers can be found, the tool will continue. Your desktop will disappear and you will start seeing text scroll across the screen. This is normal and nothing to be concerned about. When smitRem has finished running it will automatically start the Disk Cleanup program

This program will remove all Temp, Temporary Internet Files, and empty your Recycle Bin in order to remove any leftover files installed by this infection. This process can take up to a few hours depending on your computer, so please be patient. When it is complete, it will close automatically and you will be back at your desktop.

When the tool is finished, it will will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or the partition where your operating system is installed. Examining that log should show that the infection was cleaned.

Reboot your computer back to normal mode.

Download roguescanfix.exe , and save it to your desktop.
Double click roguescanfix.exe to install it.
Open the roguescanfix folder, and doubleclick run.bat.
Your desktop and icons will disappear and then reappear again, this is normal.
Wait till te message "Completed script execution" appear, then click OK.
Click "Exit" to close BFU.
Click "OK" to start the SpywareQuake/Spyfalcon uninstaller, after that click "uninstall". Please wait until it is finished.

Reboot your computer in normal mode.

Download this file from the link to your desktop.
http://www.mvps.org/.../DelDomains.inf

Right-click on the deldomains.inf file and select 'Install'

Once it is finished your Zones should be reset.

Note, if you use SpywareBlaster and/or IE/Spyads, it will be necessary to re-install the protection both afford. For SpywareBlaster, run the program and re-protect all items. For IE/Spyads, run the batch file and reinstall the protection

Perform an onlinescan with Panda: Panda Online

Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
A new window will open...click the Check Now button
Enter your Country
Enter your State/Province
Enter your e-mail address and click send
Select either Home User or Company

Click the big Scan Now button


If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a few minutes)

When download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan

Your computer should now be free of the SpyFalcon / Spyware Quake infection.


Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log and the log named smitfiles.txt into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Ken545,

I am delighted to say that the instructions you posted for me worked like a charm! Since completing the instructions, I have not had a single incidence of virus, trojan or other malware activity. My next stop is the Donations page!! If you see anything in my logs below that suggests I still have anything lurking on my system that should be removed, please let me know.

I did want to let you know about one or two things that came up during the process of carrying out your instructions in case they are helpful to others dealing with the same pests.

1) When I ran smitRem in safe mode, no uninstallers were activated and my desktop did not disappear and reappear. However, the program did appear to run fully to completion and otherwise did what the instructions said it would. I have posted my smitfiles.txt log below. The log did not specifically mention Spyware Quake as having been removed.

2) When I ran roguescanfix.exe, I had an unexpected interruption when ewido (which was running in the background) popped up to block the execution of the uninstall file. I just told ewido to ignore the file, worked my way through to the end of the roguescanfix process, turned off ewido and McAfee, and ran roguescanfix again. This time it did its job without interruption.

Also in the minor comment department, the roguescanfix part of the instructions spoke about starting the Spyware Quake/Spyfalcon uninstaller and then clicking the "uninstall" button to start the uninstall process. In my case the button was called "Execute".


Per the instructions, I am also posting below a new HijackThis log as well as the results of the Panda scan. As mentioned above, if you see anything problematic in the logs below, please let me know. Otherwise, THANKS A MILLION for helping me get everything fixed.

--Bob Rausch

CLEAN!

[ken545]

Good Morning Bob,

I am glad everything worked and your back to normal. Thanks for the feedback on the fix, I have taken note of it, by the time we perfect a fix for an infection, a varient comes along

Your log looks clean but I would like you to clean out the Firefox cache by opening Firefox and going to Tools > Options> Cache and clean it out.

You then can run this great program to clean out all the other temp files and such that bits and pieces still may be lurking.

Download and Install CCleaner

* Click on Run Cleaner
* Run the Issues Scan < When it asks you to backup the Registry..Say Yes

Tutorial for CCleaner


I am going to list tools and tips for keeping you more secure, be sure to follow the instructions for System Restore because all the garbage you cleaned is backed up in that program and if you ever use it to revert your system to an earlier date, you could become infected all over again.



Now that your clean, we need to erase all possible older infected files that may still be lurking on your system.
* Clean out your TEMP FILES
* This procedure should be run from SAFEMODE for better results.

To Enter SAFEMODE

* Go to START/ SHUT OF YOUR COMPUTER/ RESTART
* As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the F8 KEY somewhat rapidly, this will bring up a menu.
* Use the UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS to scroll up to SAFEMODE
* Then press the ENTER KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD

* Go to My Computer/ C: Drive/ Documents and Settings/ Every User on this Computer Local Settings and delete all the contents of the Temp Folder and the Temporary Internet Files Folder <--Just the contents, not the folder itself.

* Go to My Computer/ C:/ Windows/ Temp and delete all the contents of the Temp Folder <-- But not the temp folder itself.

* Go to My Computer/ C:/ Windows/ Prefetch and remove all the contents of the Prefetch Folder. <--But not the Prefetch folder itself.


NOW RE-BOOT NORMALLY


* Open INTERNET EXPLORER
* Click on the TOOLS MENU
* Then INTERNET OPTIONS
* At the GENERAL TAB (which should be the first tab you are currently on),
* click on the DELETE FILES BUTTON and put a checkmark in DELETE ALL OFFLINE CONTENT.
* Then press the OK BUTTON . This may take quite a while, so do not be alarmed with how long it takes.
* When it is done, your Temporary Internet Files will now be deleted.

Now Empty your Recycle Bin

System Restore makes regular backups of all your settings, if you ever had to use this program to restore your
system to a previous date, you will be infected all over again so we need to clean out the previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore.

* Right-click My Computer.
* Click Properties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot your System

Turn ON System Restore.

* Right-click My Computer.
* ClickProperties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* UN-Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.

* Go to Start/ Control Panel/ Performance and Maintenance/ System Restore/ Create a New Restore Point
You can name the restore point anything you like, something that you can remember, You will have to be in Catagory View to see this

* Make sure that your ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE is up to date and run a full scan at least once aweek.

* Here are Free Anti-Virus Programs if you need one

AVG Free Edition
AntVir Personal Edition


* Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4
Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.

* Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06
Check for Updates and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.

* Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.

* Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

* Win Patrol This program will warn you when any changes are being made to your system and
give you the option to deny the change.

* IE- Spyad IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains
in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed,
although you will still be able to connect to the sites.

* Firefox Browser
It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use
them both. When it asks you if you want it to be your default browser, say NO and take the checkmark out of the box to ask you again. After you use this
for awhile, you will want to make it your default.

* Thunderbird Mail There companion mail program was highly favored in PCWorld Magazine,
this has a good spam filter and is more secure than Outlook Express.

* Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't
access the internet without it.

* WINDOWS UPDATES - Enable Automatic Updates
Right click on MY COMPUTER/Click on PROPERTIES/ AUTOMATIC UPDATES and put a mark in the radio button
DOWNLOAD UPDATES FOR ME BUT LET ME CHOOSE WHEN TO INSTALL THEM.

* Go to START/ CONTROL PANEL> PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE> REARRANGE ITEMS ON YOUR HARD DISK TO MAKE PROGRAMS RUN FASTER
This is the Windows Disk Defragger, run this maybe once or twice a month to keep your system running good. The first time you run it, it may take awhile.
