Hi all,

I got the urlcpvfeed virus/malware and can't get rid of it (used Adaware, Spybot searcha nd destroy and NOD32 deep scan)

so, here is my logfile:

  • Hello, and welcome to the forum.

    My name is Simon V., and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

    HijackThis logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me. I know that you need your computer working as quickly as possible, and I will work hard to help see that happens.
    I am currently looking over your log. As I am a trainee, 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.

    Please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:
  • I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

  • Identity Theft
  • I'm afraid I have unpleasant news for you. You have a Very Dangerous infection on this machine.
    The infection is delivered by the W32.Mydoom.I@mm worm.
    It allows outsiders COMPLETE access to every keystroke, account, and password you use while on this machine, and complete access to any other data present…

    IF this computer has been used for any kind of important data, my best recommendation is to disconnect from the internet, reformat the entire drive and re-install your operating system and applications.

    We can likely clean the infected files off the computer, and if you wish we will attempt to do so, but we cannot be sure that the infection didn't do something to your system to reduce the system security. In that instance, even after removal of the infection, you could be subject to another attack or takeover as soon as you re-connect to the internet.

    The decision whether to reformat or not should be based on:
  • The use of the computer - this is the primary factor in the decision whether to reformat and re-install, or just disinfect.
  • The variety of malware - this influences the decision on whether to re-format and re-install, or just disinfect. IN THIS CASE we have a backdoor worm, the worst kind.
If the computer has been used for any important data, you are strongly advised to do the following, immediately:
  • Disconnect the infected computer from the internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.
  • Back up all important data on the machine. Do not back up any Applications (programs). Those should be re-installed from the original source CDs or websites.
  • If you have ever used this computer for shopping, banking, or any transactions relating to your financial well being:
    Call all of your banks, credit card companies, and financial institutions, informing them that you may be a victim of identity theft, and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.
  • From a clean computer, change ALL your online passwords – for ISP login, email, banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, and any online forums or groups you belong to.
  • DO NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new password and transaction information.
  • Take any other steps you think appropriate for an attempted identity theft.
While you are deciding whether to reformat and re-install, this can be a useful link.

Please let me know what you decide.

Simon V: Thanks for taking up my case! I have communicated with the TS Special Forces (techspot) about cleaning out the urlcpvfeed problem, and we seem to have gotten there. I've run all sorts of cleaners in safe mode and otherwise (see process at: www.techspot.com/vb/topic58138.html) That's indeed very bad news! I will try to figure out what to do…. meantime, I will start changing passwords (from another computer). I do use this computer for everything! I did make a complete image of this drive a while ago. Is there any way to discover when the MyDoom infection happened? I might be abe to reinstall that image. Thanks, idontlikeviruses
Post #5
idontlikeviruses,

I appreciate you posting back. However, helpers such as myself (and the helper at TechSpot) are volunteers who dedicate their time to clean spyware from computers. We do not ask anything, but what we do not like is users who start posting at multiple forums for help. This wastes our time when we could be helping others who also need our valuable time and help. Furthermore, being helped by two people at different forums is very confusing for everyone.

Since you have started receiving help at techspot.com, please continue there. And in the future, stick to only one forum and wait for assistance.

This topic will be locked in a small amount of time.

I wish you all the best with solving your computer problems.

Simon V.

Your post has been Moved, Closed or Edited for one of the following reasons:

1.) You posted multiple topics and only one is required

2.) You are spamming links to other places without approval

3.) You have posted your hijackthis log to the wrong forum:
( http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?showforum=27 ) <— correct forum for HijackThis Logs

4.) Abusive language or other problems in your text

5.) Your log is too old (20 days or more) and no replies from you after a volunteer tried to help you

If you came here for help, and you have not posted a Hijackthis log to the proper forum, then you may do so now, if you came here to spam or abuse, you will be dealt with harsher on your next offense

This is a family oriented forum to help those that need help.
