Well, a week has passed since I first posted on this topic, but no reply. No problem. To reiterate, my computer is a bit slow, and my AVG anti virus software is giving me the following message:

“THREAT DETECTED ! When opening file C:\WINDOWS\System 32\actived.dll - Trojan horse PSW.Delf.2AQ.”

Having looked at other posts, a Hijack This log seems to be required. So, here is my Hijack This log:

Hello

Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**
  • Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
  • Close any open browsers.
  • Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

    ———————————————————–

    • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
    • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.

      ———————————————————–

    • Close any open browsers.
    • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
    • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
    • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.

    ———————————————————–

  • Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a report for you.
  • Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.
**Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

Hi Rorschach112,

Thanks very much for answering my post. I really appreciate it.

OK, I’ve done what you said. First of all I disabled my AVG anti virus software, then I downloaded and ran ComboFix. Here is my ComboFix log :

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe


[external image: Posted Image]

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at "C:\ComboFix.txt"

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall


Reboot and post a new HijackThis log

Hi Rorschach112,

Many thanks for your continuous support. I am very happy to say that since I ran ComboFix yesterday, my computer is much quicker, and I haven’t had a single Trojan alert from my AVG anti virus software.

I’ve done everything you said, including dragging CFScript into ComboFix.exe, and it produced a new log. Here is the new ComboFix log :

That’s the end of the ComboFix log. I noticed that one of the lines reads “C:\WINDOWS\System32\actived.dll . . . . failed to delete.” I’m not sure how meaningful that is.

You also asked me to post a new Hijack This log, so here it is :

It means the infection you have is very tough to remove :)

1. Please re-open HiJackThis and choose do a system scan only. Check the boxes next to ONLY the entries listed below(if present):

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank

O16 - DPF: {64311111-1111-1121-1111-111191113457} - file://c:\eied_s7.cab

2. Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, including browsers, so that nothing other than HijackThis is open, then click Fix Checked. A box will pop up asking you if you wish to fix the selected items. Please choose YES. Once it has fixed them, please exit/close HijackThis.



1. Close any open browsers.

2. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

KillAll::

Rootkit::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\actived.dll

Driver::
ravpcyhn


Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe


[external image: Posted Image]

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at "C:\ComboFix.txt"

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall


Reboot and post a new HijackThis log

Hi Rorschach112,

Many thanks for this, and for your ongoing help. I hope this infection won’t be too tough to remove! I can’t think where I got it from.

Anyway, I have done everything you asked, including the Hijack This system scan and fixing of checked items, and dragging CFScript into ComboFix. Here is the latest ComboFix log :

Na I've fixed loads of these before :) My speciality

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.
  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\actived.dll

Drivers to delete:
ravpcyhn


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.
  • Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
  • Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
  • Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing (Ctrl+V).
  • Click Done
  • Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.
4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:
  • It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply

Hi Rorschach112,

Thanks for this. It’s good to know that I’m in the hands of an expert.

OK, I’ve downloaded and run The Avenger program, as you asked. Here is The Avenger log :

That’s the end of The Avenger log. I’m not very experienced with these matters, but that result looks good to me! Now, here is a new Hijack This log :

Hi Rorschach112,

Many thanks for this. I am very pleased, and feel that we’ve made some real progress.

As requested, I did a system scan with Hijack This, and fixed the “active.dll (file missing)” selection. Then, I downloaded, installed and and ran Malwarebytes. It found three infections, which it fixed. Here is the Malwarebytes log :

That’s the end of the Malwarebytes log. Next, I downloaded and ran Deckard’s System Scanner. Here are the two logs, main.txt :

Delete The Avenger file


Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware

Your using an old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, this can leave your pc open to vulnerabilities, you can update it here :
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html



Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

* Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.

* To reduce re-infection for malware in the future, I strongly recommend installing these free programs:
SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX
IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all
Have a look at this tutorial for IE-Spyad here

* SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.

Make Internet Explorer more secure
  • Click Start > Run
  • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
  • Click on the Security tab
  • Click Reset all zones to default level
  • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
  • In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
  • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

* MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

* Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in pop up
blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from
Here

* Take a good look at the following suggestions for malware prevention by reading Tony Klein’s article 'How Did I Get Infected In The First Place'
Here

Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.

Hi Rorschach112, It’s great to hear that my logs are now clear. I will do all the things you said, and follow all your recommendations to protect against malware infections in the future. It’ll take me a couple of days to set everything up, but I’ll start today. I would like to say a very big thank you for all your help. There is absolutely no way that I could have cured this infection on my own. I really appreciate your assistance. You rock ! Regards, Mike
