Hello, I have Vundo Trojan on my pc - and have tried everything. Can someone help me? My system is a Windows XP SP2. I have used several spyware, anti-virus, tool removers, and adaware software. I currently am using McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007 - I scanned earlier today to find that I had a trojan Vundo.dll on my computer. It stated it removed it but I wasn't sure so I downloaded XoftSpySE and did a scan and it said that I had the following on my pc still: Vundo Trojan: Registry Key - software\microsoft\uniqdata Vundo Trojan: File - c:\windows\system32\ssttq.dll I know this trojan - I had issues with it on a friend's pc - I had to finally reinstall XP on his. It keeps bringing up these new browser windows trying to sell me some anti-virus or something. I did some research on this trojan (after McAfee notified me of the trojan)- So here is what I did so far: I downloaded and ran the following software: 1 - VirtumundoBeGone - produced a log 2 - Ran Ad-aware - did nothing 3 - Ran Spybot - Search and Destroy - did nothing 4 - Used highjackthis - produced a log 5 - Ran a Removal Tool from Symantec - Removes Vundo - did nothing said nothing was wrong Everytime I scanned my pc with the above software or tried to remove it - I ran XoftSpySE and said Vundo was still present on my pc. These - Vundo Trojan: Registry Key - software\microsoft\uniqdata Vundo Trojan: File - c:\windows\system32\ssttq.dll So here is my HighjackThis log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 12:44:52 AM, on 3/3/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\ALUSchedulerSvc.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\HackerWatch\HWAPI.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mclogsrv.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mcupdmgr.exe c:\program files\common files\mcafee\mna\mcnasvc.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcods.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mcpromgr.exe c:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\mcafee\redirsvc\redirsvc.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcshield.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\VIRUSS~1\mcsysmon.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mctskshd.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mcusrmgr.exe C:\Program Files\McAfee\MPF\MPFSrv.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvsvc32.exe C:\Program Files\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120\StarWind\StarWindService.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscntfy.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\PROGRA~1\mcafee.com\agent\mcagent.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\RTHDCPL.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskswitch.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS2\ControlPanel\VersionCueCS2Tray.exe C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\Distillr\Acrotray.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\Program Files\RALINK\Common\RaUI.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\Program Files\XoftSpySE\XoftSpy.exe C:\Program Files\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe O2 - BHO: AcroIEHlprObj Class - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4E056DAE-EDA3-4408-B6FF-6F37C8CCFEFE} - (no file) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F} - C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDHelper.dll O2 - BHO: (no name) - {597D3BCA-1D96-4E2A-B541-AC5639EBDEEB} - (no file) O2 - BHO: scriptproxy - {7DB2D5A0-7241-4E79-B68D-6309F01C5231} - c:\program files\mcafee\virusscan\scriptcl.dll O2 - BHO: (no name) - {9ECB9560-04F9-4bbc-943D-298DDF1699E1} - (no file) O2 - BHO: AcroIEToolbarHelper Class - {AE7CD045-E861-484f-8273-0445EE161910} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroIEFavClient.dll O2 - BHO: (no name) - {C47A9554-195A-4769-9B13-04F15B450A39} - (no file) O3 - Toolbar: Adobe PDF - {47833539-D0C5-4125-9FA8-0819E2EAAC93} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroIEFavClient.dll O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {C4069E3A-68F1-403E-B40E-20066696354B} - (no file) O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0B53EAC3-8D69-4b9e-9B19-A37C9A5676A7} - (no file) O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvMediaCenter] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RTHDCPL] RTHDCPL.EXE O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SkyTel] SkyTel.EXE O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CoolSwitch] C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskswitch.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iTunesHelper] "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe Version Cue CS2] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS2\ControlPanel\VersionCueCS2Tray.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Acrobat Assistant 7.0] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\Distillr\Acrotray.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ccApp] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccApp.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IS CfgWiz] "C:\Program Files\Norton Internet Security\cfgwiz.exe" /GUID {F073BDC9-0D67-4ff0-879E-27241C843828} /MODE CfgWiz /CMDLINE "REBOOT" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SSC_UserPrompt] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Security Center\UsrPrmpt.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UserFaultCheck] %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -u O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SpybotSD TeaTimer] C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher.lnk = ?

Hi Kyun Jinand welcome to Tom Coyote forums

I am currently looking over your log. As I am an Undergraduate, everything that I post to you must be checked by an Admin or Moderator. Thus, there may be a tiny bit of a delay between posts, but it shouldn't be too long. I will post back shortly with a potential fix.

Thanks for your patience!

Thank, Dan. Yeah I understand…I am an undergrad as well. I read a similar posting…and got started - renamed my ProgramsFiles\HijackThis\HijackThis to removal.exe (I think you recommended that to a person ha). I downloaded VundoFix V6.3.12 - and I ran it through and it caught the following files: C:\WINDOWS\system32\awtsp.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmnnm.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\pstwa.bak1 C:\WINDOWS\system32\pstwa.ini C:\WINDOWS\system32\qttss.ini C:\WINDOWS\system32\qtutv.ini C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssttq.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutq.dll I clicked on Remove Vundo…and it then prompted me to reboot…so I rebooted and ran VundoFix V6.3.12 again - So you know, I also have downloaded and ran the AVG Anti-Spyware - it did not detect Vundo - but another Trojan called Virtumonde - which was deleted. I am not sure if they are associated. (side note) Also, I reran XoftSpySE Scanner - I got the following files showing up: Vundo Trojan Registry Key - software\microsoft\uniqdata There is no longer the Vundo Trojan FILE - Vundo Fix removed it Below is my VundoFix log and a new HijackThis log. Here is my log from VundoFix.txt: VundoFix V6.3.12 Checking Java version… Sun Java not detected Scan started at 2:28:31 AM 3/3/2007 Listing files found while scanning….

Please do no more cleaning on your own while I'm helping you. Otherwise we will be going round in circles and if your doing your own thing it's wasting my time looking into your log. Can you post another HJT log, but uncheck word wrap in notepad, it makes logs hard to read. Thanks dan ;)

Hi Kyun Jin

I need to point out to you that each fix you see, is specific to the machine an expert is working.
I may not be able to get an uninstall list now, due to you renaming highjackthis.exe, on occasions we do this , it's done in a set sequence.

I think you have learnt that lesson now, so let's continue….

Your log shows that you have two different antivirus programs installed and running side-by-side (McAfee and Norton).
Do not attempt to run two entirely different 'on-access' resident scanner anti-virus products simultaneously. It is simply an accident waiting to happen. Having more than one antivirus program running and "active in memory" will most definitely use far more additional resources, adversely affecting your access to files and causing overall system slowdowns.

Most of the popular anti-virus products (when running together) will "fight for control" over the user's machine, and it is this conflict that will create slowing the system speed as well as other serious compatibility problems. This can also create registry conflicts as well as causing false virus alerts - or worse, missing alerts entirely!

Additionally, many of these types of programs simply do not "play nice" or work well with each other. Unfortunately, the only thing many of these types of security applications seem to detest more than potentially harmful viruses - is other antivirus applications running simultaneously together with them. Also, not all AV programs can be installed as secondary scanners, and sometimes installing separate AV programs will cause a conflict or the program's installer will even try to 'uninstall' any other anti-virus programs during the installation.

Therefore, my advice would be to pick one (or the other) of your antivrius programs to use and then use Windows Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the one that you do not want to use anymore.

If you choose to remove norton I would suggest the removal tool:
Go HERE and download and run the Symantec Removal Tool

Pick the right version according to your application.

OK, I did everything you asked so far - I'm up to the step where I am in safe mode - and I am currently scanning my desktop (I'm on my laptop right now) using AVG Anti-Spyware. I need to go out and do some errands while this is still scanning…so there might be a delay on my end. A few hours maybe…As soon as that is done I'll run the Kaspersky Online Scanner and do the rest of the steps. I appreciate your help! Sorry if I made things more difficult for you to resolve this issue. Thanks!

Also, I forgot to mention - I used to have Norton Internet Security 2006 on my pc - I did uninstall it prior to installing McAfee - using Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. I just checked and the control panel > Add/Remove Programs - Norton's is not listed as being installed.
Post #10
Can you run the Norton removal tool when you are ready, after your scans only norton is showing as being active. then If we have some oorphaned entries I will get them manually. catch you when your ready. dan ;)
Post #11
Norton Removal Tool? Do you mean the Symantec program to remove Vundo or a program to remove norton? Sorry, I am not sure I understand what you mean? I no longer am using Norton's - I'm using McAfee now for Anti-Virus. I am actually working - not at my desktop - so when I get home I will post all those logs you requested. I'll get you those logs soon! Thanks.

Hi Kyun Jin

Your doing well and log is looking a lot better.
We need to address a few things th kaspersky flagged

The tool I want you to run for the removal of Norton, Ok, here's how we go from here:-
Norton Removal Tool________________

You can delete the vundo tool folder now here: C:\VundoFix Backups <=======This folder

Can you rename "removal.exe.exe" to "highjackthis.exe" without the quotes, then do the following.
_____________

Make a uninstall list using HijackThis
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:

1. Start HijackThis
2. Click on the Config button
3. Click on the Misc Tools button
4. Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.

You will now be presented with a screen similar to the one below:

[external image: Posted Image]

5. Click on the Save list… button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad here on your next reply.

Please include new HJT log, plus the uninstall list
in your next post
