Hello

I have Pipas.a and can't get rid of it. I just did a Spybot scan and as far as I know, Pipas.a was removed. I also used the secure file deletion setting in CCleaner. Some other things in the log job out at me … I removed MSN Messenger awhile ago, and I don't use Yahoo anything. Here is my scan log. Thanks for your help!

GMER is showing a hidden file on your PC but Blacklight isn't picking it up. I want you to give this one a go and see if it finds the wee beastie:

Download AVG Anti-Rootkit Beta from here and save it to your Desktop.
  • Close all open programs as this will require a reboot.
  • Double click AVG_AntiRootkit_1.0.0.13.exe to install the program.
    (By default this will be to C:\Program Files\GRISOFT\AVG Anti-Rootkit Beta.)
  • Once the program has installed, you will be prompted to reboot - please allow this to happen.
  • When the PC has rebooted, click the AVG Anti-Rootkit Beta shortcut that is now on your desktop.
  • Click Perform in-depth search and put your feet up as this can take a while.
  • Once the scan has completed, if any files have been detected, click Save result to file and save the log to somewhere convenient.
If anything has been detected, copy and paste the log into your next reply. If not, just let me know.

I did the rootkit scan but nothing was detected. Yesturday I downloaded AVG Anti-Spyware and it found a couple of things that Spybot has never found. I was going to post the log then realised I didn't save one, so I did another scan now and it found them again (this was after the reboot when itstalling the Rootkit program). I guess I've not only got Pipas.a, but also IGetNet and Trojan.small too … here it is; ——————————————————— AVG Anti-Spyware - Scan Report ——————————————————— + Created at: 11:38:12 AM 12/26/2006 + Scan result: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{E0C22EC0-D318-4D95-967D-A5C2B4653ED0}\RP1118\A0141026.exe/F0000031.DAT -> Adware.IGetNet : Cleaned with backup (quarantined).

You will need to make a copy of these instructions because you have to disconnect from the internet to complete the fix. Either print them out or copy and paste them into Notepad.

Preparation

1) Download Fixwareout.exe by LonnyRJones from one of these two locations, and save it to your Desktop:

http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

2) Download the trial version of AVG Anti-Spyware from here and save it to your Desktop.
If you already have this program installed, skip to Updating AVG Anti-Spyware: below.

* Please note that this program was formerly known as Ewido anti-spyware 4.0. Taken from the Ewido website:

ewido anti-spyware 4.0 will now continue under the new product name AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5. AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 contains the same ewido technology, but with some further enhanced features:

Highly improved cleaning
Lower resource usage
Additional languages supported

All current licenses for ewido anti-spyware 4.0 will continue to be valid, and users can change over to the new AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 for free.

Double click the avgas-setup file to begin installation and follow the prompts.
When the program has been installed, and you click the Finish button, AVG A-S will open.
  • Updating AVG Anti-Spyware:

    By default AVG A-S is configured to update automatically so, if you have an active internet connection, it should do so following installation. If you are unsure whether or not it has done so, do the following:
  • Click the Update icon at the top and under "Manual Update" - click the Start update button.
  • Either AVG A-S will update or inform you that no update was available.
  • If you cannot access the internet with the infected PC, or you are having problems updating, you can download the signatures file from here.
    Once you have installed AVG A-S, double click avgas-signatures-full-current.exe to update it.

    Disabling the Resident Shield:
  • By default the Resident Shield is active but as it may interfere with the process of cleaning your PC, it will need to be disabled.
    (When the PC has been cleaned you can activate the shield again, if you wish.)
  • Click the Shield icon at the top and under "Resident shield is…" - click active.
  • This should now change to inactive.

    Changing Recommended Actions
  • Click the Scanner icon at the top and then click the Settings Tab.
  • Under "How to act?" click Recommended actions and select "Quarantine" from the menu.
You can now close AVG A-S.

AVG A-S is designed to be used to both scan for and remove malicious files and also to run in real-time alongside, but not replace, your existing anti-virus program to give an added layer of protection.
Both the Resident Shield and Automatic Updates will only be available for the thirty day trial period, after that AVG A-S will revert to a stand-alone scanner which you can keep and manually update for free and use in a similar way to Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D etc.
Should you wish to benefit from the real-time protection, you will need to upgrade the program. To do this, simply open it and click on the Buy now button.

3) You will need to set Windows to show All Hidden Files and Folders.
Instructions can be found here.
** These files are hidden to stop you accidentally removing something important.
It is advisable to hide them again after fixing your computer. **

4) You will need to know how to boot into Safe Mode.
Instructions can be found here.

Please Note: You will need to remain connected to the internet during this fix.

Removal

1) Run HJT and click on Open the Misc Tools section.
Click on delete a file on reboot…
Copy and paste the following into the "File name:" text box and then click Open:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmrbj.exe

When you are asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?", click OK.

Your PC MUST reboot fully to delete the file!

2) Double click Fixwareout.exe to start the Fixwareout Setup Wizard
  • Click Next > Install.
  • Ensure that the box to the left of Run fixit is checked.
  • Click on Finish.
  • Follow the prompts.
  • You will be asked to reboot your computer - please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load - this is normal.
  • When your system reboots, follow the prompts.
Afterwards HijackThis should launch by itself - if it does not, start it manually.

Click on 'Do a system scan only' and place a checkmark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, by clicking on them:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dmrbj.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmrbj.exe

O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.109 85.255.112.153
O17 - HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.109 85.255.112.153
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.109 85.255.112.153

CLOSE ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND BROWSERS - EXCEPT HJT and click on Fix checked

3) Go to Start > Control Panel >Network Connections. Right click your default connection, usually Local Area Connection or Dial-up Connection if you are using dial-up, and left click on Properties.
* Make a note of the settings before you change them just in case you need to put them back how they were.
Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio button that says Obtain DNS servers automatically. Click OK twice.

4) Go to Start > Run, enter CMD and click OK.
  • At the Dos Prompt Screen, type in cd\ and then press .
  • Now type in ipconfig /flushdns and then press . (notice the space after ipconfig)
  • Close the command prompt window.
5) Boot into Safe Mode.

6) Navigate to the C:\Windows\Temp folder and delete all the files that you find there.
Do this for all Usernames.

7) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp and delete all the files that you find there.
Do this for all Usernames.

8) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options.

For I.E. 6 - under Temporary Internet files, click on Delete Files…
Check the box to the left of 'Delete all offline content' and then click on OK.

For I.E. 7 - under Browsing History, click delete…
Under Temporary Internet Files, click Delete files…

9) Ensure that ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders are closed and then run AVG A-S.
  • If it is not already selected, click the Scanner icon at the top and then select the Scan Tab.
  • Click "Complete System Scan"
  • While the scan is in progress the PC should be left otherwise idle - so if you fancy a cuppa, now's the time to put the kettle on!
  • When the scan has completed, any threats that AVG A-S has detected will be displayed.
  • Click the Apply all actions button at the bottom.
  • When AVG A-S has finished, it will display the message "All actions have been applied".

    Saving a report:
  • Click the Save Report button at the bottom left and the "Reports" window will open.
  • The content of the scan report will be displayed in the right hand pane and a copy will be automatically saved as Report-Scan-date-time.txt into the C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\Reports folder.
  • You will need to post a copy of this report into your next reply, so if it is more convenient, you can save another copy of this report elsewhere:
    Click the Save report as button and select a destination by clicking the down arrow to the right of the Save in: text box and then click Save.
Close AVG A-S.

10) Boot into Normal Mode.

Post a new HJT log, the AVG Anti-Spyware log, the contents of the logfile C:\fixwareout\report.txt AND a description of how your PC is running.

Your log doesn't appear to show a software firewall installed - if you have one, and i've missed it, please ignore this.
If you are relying the firewall that comes with Service Pack 2, then you need to install one. While the SP2 firewall is better than nothing, it doesn't monitor outgoing traffic, so anything malicious on your computer can 'phone home' at will.

There are a few free firewalls available.
Zone Alarm: Available here.
Kerio: Available here.
Outpost: Available here.

It is important to note that you should only have one firewall installed at a time, but you can download both to your Desktop and install each in turn to see which one you prefer.

Understanding and Using Firewalls: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial60.html

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are running an old version of Sun Java which needs updating:
  • Go here and click on the Download button to the right of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.0.
  • Accept the license agreement by clicking the appropriate radio button and then continue.
  • Under Windows Platform - Java™ SE Runtime Environment 6, click the Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language link.
  • Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any entries that refer to Java 2 Runtime Enviroment and then reboot your PC.
  • Navigate to and delete the following folder, if it exists: C:\Program Files\Java.
  • Finally double click the installation file that you downloaded earlier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As long as the above goes OK, I want you to run your PC as normal for a few days. When you are happy that everything is fine, do the following:

Update your anti-virus program,
Disable System Restore,
Boot into Safe Mode,
Scan your computer for viruses.
When you get the all clear, reboot into Normal Mode.
Re-enable System Restore,
Create a Restore Point.
This will give a clean Restore Point should you need it in the future.
A tutorial for System Restore is available here.

The reason for waiting is that if removing the malware has caused a problem, which it occasionally does, you can put your PC back to how it was before the fix. This will re-install the malware, but an infected PC is better than an expensive paperweight!

Some bedtime reading: This is a very good tutorial about keeping your computer safe and secure on the internet.

If you have the time, pay a vist to Malware Complaints and register a complaint about the malware that has infected you - in your case it was a Wareout infection. If enough people take the time, it could make a difference.
