I have never seen something like this. Antispyware catches some things but then it adds reg keys to tell the antispyware that it is okay. It has copied everything, made system information folders that i can't delete on each drive. Hijacked the wireless router and added others to it. Added network places that you can't see even though the windows "hide icons" is not activated. I am not a pro but the reg keys show password logs, urls, etc etc copied. The "my computer icon" is even a shortcut now. If you insert a thumb drive or CD or anthing. It replicates a system32 file, a IE icon, a mozilla icon. So far no damage or bank accounts/credit cards stolen but I can't send emails or the like as I am sure its replicating there too. Its a monster and affecting life. My wife is so stressed. Please help I have no idea what to do.

Hello and Welcome to the Forum.

you can get a complete installer that installs HijackThis to C:\Program Files\HijackThis, making an entry in the start menu and also providing a desktop shortcut from http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HJTsetup.exe.

Click on the link and select Save, save it to your desktop and double click HJTsetup.exe.

Open HijackThis and select: Do a system scan and save a log file.

When the scan is finished, Click Edit> Select All> Edit> Copy> and paste its contents here please use the [Add Reply] button below.

Hi LDTate and thanks so much for the reply. The Hijackthis log had several errors when it ran the scan and decreased the logfile considerably. It said "trusted zone enumeration and then did a couple of quick flashs on the screen and then gave this log. I have posted here what was left. I have some Spybot logs and a svc log that shows some weird things going on with the virus's actions if you would like to see them. Can't thank you enough for just taking the time to help.

I suggest you do this:


You need To disable TeaTimer, it can stop our fix.

The best way is to do both, Right click the system tray icon and shut down. This will reset TT's registry snapshot. Then, open spybot in advanced mode and turn it off. When cleaning is done, open Spybot in advanced mode to turn back on.

Once fix is completed in the all clear post!!

Next:

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.


Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.

Next:

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
Also "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Thanks TD, I am running those now. The hide folders were all unchecked already. It's a nasty thing, I noticed couple days ago the networking icons were hidden and the hide button had not even been pressed. Also a note that said the resident denied the change in Tea timer. It is unchecked now but wanted you to know. Will post when the cleaners are complete. I tell you it takes over just about everything thrown at it. Thanks again so much for the help.

Hey LDT, Sorry for the late response. The machine now comes up asking for either the safe mode, safe with with networking etc….you know and I try to pick last known config and nothing. No input at all, then it goes into a loop of rebooting. Not looking good huh? I will keep trying maybe a boot disk. My older PC has the same virus going on but it was much more isolated from the net than others, I am running the same procedures you told me to do on my main one and I will post that log to see if it gives you any insight at all. I fear the other machine is done for less there is a way around that. This other one is infected because I was trying to save the data from the first one. Once again, any help is appreciated.

oh I got the antivirus stuff. Had Spybot and Kapersky's going when it happened. It owned them. Now I have counterspy but shut it down for the combofix. Yes we are working with the older system now. I still can't get into the one that started it. It is on a continuous reboot. Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
