Vundo (MS JUAN and MS TRACK SYSTEM) Regenerating at Reboot – Help please!

Normal 0

Hi. I was alerted to a malware infection the other night by AVG and Zone Alarm as well as by the fraudulent “scan your computer” pop ups and other IE pop ups (even though I use Firefox) and the fact that I couldn’t run Windows automatic updates.

 

Using Spybot and Malwarebytes Anit-malware (MBAM), I was able to reduce a big infection (including lots of Virtumonde/Vundo bugs and a few Smitfraud-C and MyWay.MyWebSearch bugs) and recover my access to Windows Updates. But two bugs remain, regenerating every time I reboot. They are:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MS JUAN (Malware.Trace)

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MS TRACK SYSTEM (Trojan.Vundo)

 

When I quarantine/remove these with MBAM, the next scan shows zero infections until I reboot. Then the same two registry key infections show up, just to disappear again until reboot… I’m doing this all in safe mode, and my wireless internet radio is disabled. Also, I’ve tried scanning with Trojan Remove, AVG, VundoFix, and Spybot again and they all reveal nothing. I also uninstalled Java and manually removed remaining files (though I can see there are still files remaining in regedit that I’m afraid to mess with). And I’ve been repeatedly running RegSeeker and cleaning stuff out of some temp folders (though I’m not sure which ones matter and whether I should delete all files including desktop.ini files, etc.).

 

I keep reading about HijackThis, Super Antispyware, and ComboFix, and haven’t tried these yet. I’ve also read about using Avenger to remove certain targeted files. I don’t really understand which to choose and in what sequence or how to use them. I was hoping some kind soul with experience with this particular pattern (I’m seeing that it’s ubiquitous for folks right now) would walk me through what to do at this stage. Thanks in advance.

Welcome :emotion-1:

Avenger and ComboFix should be used only under supervision of someone trained in their use.  Sometimes the type of files in temp folders can be a clue to help analysts in diagnosing the specific malware, so it is not always good to remove them before an analyst works with you.

The volunteer analysts listed in the announcement at the top of the Malware Removal Forum have been having a problem posting. Until Dell fixes the new software issues, I cannot get into a long fix. I can offer a suggestion to run a couple of general scans. If that does not fix the problem, click on the link in my signature and post at SpywareHammer for a follow-up review. Include your logs from the scans along with a fresh HijackThis log and a description of your problem.

Try scans with these two programs in the following order:

Please update your MBAM.

  • 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.
  • 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 checkedPhotobucket
    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.

Extra Notes:
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 immediately.
* If you are unable to download or install MBAM on your computer, see if you can use a friend's or family member's computer to download MBAM. Use this update link here to manually download the update. Once downloaded, rename the program installer "mbam-setup.exe" file to something else like "catchjunk.exe". Copy the installer file and the update file to a CD or flash drive. Transfer the file to the infected computer. Install the "catchjunk.exe" file, then run the update so that you will have the current definitions. After that, run a full system scan and select to have the program REMOVE whatever it finds.

-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.

Download and scan with Super Anti-Spyware Free for Home Users. It is available HERE:
*Double-click SUPERAntiSypware.exe and use the default settings for installation.
* An icon will be created on your desktop. Double-click that icon to launch the program.
* If asked to update the program definitions, click "Yes". If not, update the definitions before scanning by selecting "Check for Updates". (If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download and unzip them from here.)
* Under "Configuration and Preferences", click the Preferences button.
* Click the Scanning Control tab.
* Under Scanner Options make sure the following are checked (leave all others unchecked):

Close browsers before scanning.
Scan for tracking cookies.
Terminate memory threats before quarantining.

* Click the "Close" button to leave the control center screen.
* Back on the main screen, under "Scan for Harmful Software" click Scan your computer.
* On the left, make sure you check C:\Fixed Drive.
* On the right, under "Complete Scan", choose Perform Complete Scan.
* Click "Next" to start the scan. Please be patient while it scans your computer.
* After the scan is complete, a Scan Summary box will appear with potentially harmful items that were detected. Click "OK".
* Make sure everything has a checkmark next to it and click "Next".
* A notification will appear that "Quarantine and Removal is Complete". Click "OK" and then click the "Finish" button to return to the main menu.
* If asked if you want to reboot, click "Yes".

Hi Bugbatter,

Thanks for your reply. Hope you had a nice holiday.

I've done what you said, and I've listed the results (first the fresh HJT log and then the MBAM and SAS logs) and the current description of my problem below.

A couple notes:

I ran the SAS scan exactly as you instructed.

I was unable to get an MBAM updates (nothing happened when i asked the program to update and when i went to run the update manually, it was going to reinstall the whole program...). Is this because mine is fully updated? It's database version 1456. Also, I renamed my MBAM exe file and program folder MaByAM -- hope that works.

Also, the MBAM scan log I posted was from a scan done AFTER I ran the SAS complete scan (it was done upon the SAS recommended reboot). I have a million other logs from before identical to this one. They go back and forth between the same two registry key infections and 0 infections. It's always 0 after I removed and quarantined the 2 infections. And then upon reboot or internet exposure, it goes back to 2.

I did all of this in safe mode with the wireless internet radio disabled.

Thanks for the note about not deleting stuff from temp folders. I won't do it anymore until we are done...

My first post pretty well described the problem. Basically, in spite of doing all these things, the bug returns upon reboot or upon internet exposure, as evidenced by: 1) The MS Juan and MS Track System registry key infections shown by MBAM, and 2) pop up ads (though fewer of them than before).

I will also post this on your Spyhammer page. Thanks again.

Okay, thank you for letting me know.  Until Dell gets the posting problems resolved for members having difficulty, it will be easier for us to post over at SpywareHammer.
