Hello,

Well while I was gone today my sister got on my computer and downloaded something off a site she shouldnt of been on, and my computer is infected. Was hoping someone could help me get uninfected fast since I am doing practice logs here and I am in the easy ones, that way I can get back to doing my logs.

Also I have strange folders coming up in my c:/my computer called Qoobox, and a combofix.exe folder (may be from the tool not sure never ran combo fix before) and an administrator folder that may have been there but I dont think it was which is actually in documents and settings folder.

I also ran ATF to.

Thanks, Lynda

Here is my HJT Log:

Hi Lynda, Let's see if we can get you straightened out quick so you can get back to work on your P/L's. Looks like MalwareBytes' took care of most of the infection on your PC. Are you still having issues? Is Google still re-directing? If so, do you have a router? The new Zlob/DNSChanger infections that MBAM cleaned are now infecting routers. Let's answer those questions and we'll go from there. Regards, Dave
Hello IndiGenus,

Are you still having issues?


Yes sometimes it says page cant be displayed, although now when I try to go somewhere it goes there.

Is Google still re-directing?


Not that I can tell. Its going where its suppose to go.

If so, do you have a router?


Yes I have a Linksys Router, and it seems to be ok, but how would I check to be sure.
If your router settings were changed you would probably still be getting redirects, so I don't think that's an issue. The fix at this point is to simply reset the router. But again, don't think you need to at this point. As I said, looks like MBAM got it. Let's do a Kaspersky scan.

Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

  • Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
  • It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
  • When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
  • Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
    • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
      Archives
      Mail databases
  • Click on My Computer under Scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
  • You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As….
  • Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
  • Please post this log in your next reply.

Time for some housekeeping
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.


  • [external image: Posted Image]
The above procedure will:
  • Delete the following:
    • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    • VundoFix backups, if present
    • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
    • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
  • Reset the clock settings.
  • Hide file extensions, if required.
  • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
  • Reset System Restore.

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

If all is well then just some final thoughts.

You have pretty good protection in place. You may want to consider adding the following.

Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Use IE-SPYAD with Zoned Out -
Zoned Out with IE-SPYAD will block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email. Instructions for set up and use can be found at the websites.

Update all of your Anti-Malware programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed and the ones you are currently running regularly. Without regular updates you Will Not be protected when new malicious programs are released.

I'll leave the thread open a few days in case you have questions or issues.

Regards,
Dave
Hello IndiGenus, All is well and I already have IE-SPYAD and Spywareblaster, and I always keep my Anti-Malware programs updated. Thanks for the help now I can concentrate on my logs again!! Thanks, Lynda
Since this issue appears to be resolved … this Topic has been closed. Glad we could be of assistance. If you're the topic starter, and need this topic reopened, please contact a staff member with the address of the thread. Everyone else please begin a New Topic.
Hello IndiGenus,

I dont have any other protection programs installed like a router and so on yet because like I said I just hooked it up and had problems so I didnt get to do any of that yet. But I will soon as you give the ok, thats what I was gonna do yesterday and update my IE when I found out about being redirected.

Hi Lynda,

I assume the PC that was repaired is infected also and re-infected the network.

This is the process we are advising. You need to make sure that all PC's are disconnected from the router as advised and clean them with MBAM. I'll give you the whole speech. You obviously don't need to re-download MBAM.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here

Next disconnect your system from the internet, and your router, then…

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.
Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.
===============================================

Next you must reset the router to its default configuration. This can be done by inserting something tiny like a paper clip end or pencil tip into a small hole labeled "reset" located on the back of the router. Press and hold down the small button inside until the lights on the front of the router blink off and then on again (usually about 10 seconds). If you don’t know the router's default password, you can look it up HERE

However, if there are other Zlob-infected machines using the same router, they will need to be cleared with the above steps before resetting the router. Otherwise, the malware will simply go back and change the router's DNS settings. You also need to reconfigure any security settings you had in place prior to the reset. Check out this site here for video tutorials on how to properly configure your router's encryption and security settings. You may also need to consult with your Internet service provider to find out which DNS servers your network should be using.

Once you have ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware on the infected system, and reset the router to its default configuration you can reconnect to the internet, and router. Then return to this site to post your logs.

===============================================

Please post the Malwarebytes log and let me know how things are running now.
Hello IndiGenus,

I take it that this new Zlob infection must not be easy to get out? I did everything you posted, here are the logs below:

This is the Malwarebytes Log from the computer that was repaired:

Also this computer is still redirecting and I still cant get to Windows Update, it redirects me to MSN, plus if I just go to other sites it redirects me to wherever and I get a few pop ups now and then to.

Part of the problem is we're dealing with a whole network, not just one PC. Did you reset the router as instructed?

Post HijackThis logs from both PC's also. Are these the only 2 PC's on the network?
