download VirtumundoBeGone from:

http://secured2k.home.comcast.net/tools/VirtumundoBeGone.exe

* Save it to your Desktop
* Close all running programs (including your Internet Browser)
* Double-click VirtumundoBeGone.exe on the desktop
* Follow the directions as indicated

please be advised that this program will generate a "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH"... this is an expected/necessary part of the process, so don't be surprised when it happens.

just reboot if your system "jams"

*********************

It's now time to report back to us:

VirtumundoBeGone generated a "log" file of its own, which it should have placed on your Desktop... please REPLY to this thread, and copy/paste the VirtumundoBeGone log back here, along with your latest HJT log.

P.S.  Be sure to post your ENTIRE HJT log this time... rather than stopping after an O16 section, it should go all the way thru O23

Looks like VirtumundoBeGone successfully deactivated the bad WinFixer/Vundo file... have you noticed any difference, in terms of WinFixer popups, warnings about trojan vundo/virtumundo, and/or overall system speed/performance?

 

However, your log still shows a (non-critical) "remnant" of some infections, which we can easily remove now:

 

close your internet browser

Run HiJackThis. click on DO A SYSTEM SCAN ONLY

Place a check-mark in the box in front of each of the lines:

 

O2 - BHO: ATLDistrib Object - {86059629-45EE-4AA6-A994-672B68AC8B44} - C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\pstcp.dll (file missing)


O2 - BHO: ATLDistrib Object - {86059629-45EE-4AA6-A994-672B68AC8B44} - C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\pstcp.dll (file missing)

 

Click on FIX CHECKED. Close HiJackThis.   Reboot.

*******************

it appears that you have multiple versions of Sun Java on your system...  it looks like you're running  jre1.5.0_03 ; but still have "remnants" of  j2re1.4.2_03 .   there is much speculation that a "hole" in  j2re1.4.2_03  is being exploited by WinFixer.   so we should upgrade to the latest version, 1.5.0_06 from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
my personal preference is to download the MANUAL (OFFline) installation version (16 MB).  but if you prefer the online installation, that choice is yours.
 
AFTER you successfully install the new java, go to your control panel, ADD/REMOVE programs, and UNinstall all older versions of Java (if any) that still show up there.... especially the 1.4.2_03.
 
when you're done, REPLY here, and post an updated/revised HJT log.
 
**************************

At that point, I'm gonna try to ask someone else to step-in, to determine additional problems (if any) that you might have. Please be advised that we're very "understaffed" at the moment, so I can't make any guarantee as to when  the next helper will arrive.

 

Good luck.

there was a Winfixer "remnant", which was appearing twice in your original log, that now still appears once.   I don't believe that's the real problem, but let's try to take care of this first.

close your internet browser

Run HiJackThis. click on DO A SYSTEM SCAN ONLY

Place a check-mark in the box in front of each of the lines:

 

O2 - BHO: ATLDistrib Object - {86059629-45EE-4AA6-A994-672B68AC8B44} - C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\pstcp.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto


Click on FIX CHECKED. Close HiJackThis.   Reboot.

**********************

If WinFixer still appears after this reboot:

be advised that your HJT log does not show any of the "standard" signs of winfixer --- no active vundo/virtumundo trojan, no surfAccuracy, nor installers.  
 
there's one "stealth" (hidden) version that we can test for:
 
follow the directions in the following link to download, setup, and run rootkitrevealer from:
Search  its results, to see if it finds a file called   wingenerics.dll
 
if you don't find wingenerics.dll , STOP here... just report back, to let us know, but do NOT proceed any further.
 
 
if you DO find wingenerics.dll , we have a fix from Mike Burgess (which I've obtained c/o RKinner):
download   AproposFix  from here:
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe

Save it to your desktop but do NOT run it yet.

Then please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the
Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Once in Safe Mode, please double-click aproposfix.exe and unzip it to the
desktop. Open the aproposfix folder on your desktop and run RunThis.bat.
Follow the prompts.

When the tool is finished, please reboot back into normal mode, run rootkitrevealer again and see if things look any better now.
 
Please generate a new/revised HJT log, REPLY to this thread, paste it here, and let us know what's happening.

This is Ron.  KY331 asked me to take over.  Your last log still shows a particularly nasty bug.  Don't know if he is giving you the winfixer ads or not but he needs to go.  You can read one writeup on hime here:

 

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.hllw.gaobot.bc.html

 

Download the killbox:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/killbox.php

Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it.

Shutdown and Restart and Boot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key when you see the PC
maker's logo.
Keep tapping until it tells you it is going to Safe Mode or you see the Safe
Mode menu. Select the top option. Log in as your usual login or you won't find the programs you put on the desktop
and some of the entries we want to remove will not appear in HijackTHis.

Run HijackThis and just do a Scan only. Check  then Fix Checked the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto

Run killbox.  Open Options and check Remove Directories
Where it says Full Path of File to Delete you need to type:
 
C:\Program Files\winupdates
 
Then check the Delete on Reboot box then the red button. 
It will say:  File Will Be Removed On Reboot, Do you want to reboot Now.
Tell it YES. 
 
It should reboot.  Boot back into Regular Mode and run a new HJT log and post it as a reply.
 
Ron

okay.   Please  REPLY and  post an updated/revised HJT log... we need to verify that the O2-ATLDistrib and O4-winupdates lines I mentioned above were successfully removed.
 
I assume you're still getting [specifically] WinFixer popups [as opposed to any other type of popup]  -- the word WinFixer, or WinAntiVirus, or WinAntiSpyware shows up??  If not, what names or identifying keywords do you see there, that make you believe it's WinFixer?
 
As mentioned previously --- and since I don't see any signs of WinFixer anymore --- I'm trying to get someone else to continue analysis of your log....

Close Internet Explorer and run Hijackthis (scan only) and check these then Fix Checked:

O2 - BHO: SSVHelper Class - {761497BB-D6F0-462C-B6EB-D4DAF1D92D43} - C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\ssv.dll

O2 - BHO: ATLDistrib Object - {86059629-45EE-4AA6-A994-672B68AC8B44} - C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\pstcp.dll (file missing)

The first two are from the latest version of Java but normally there is only one running.  Java never used these before but they have been found to slow down Internet Explorer and removing them doesn't hurt.

Are you still getting the WinFixer popups?

If you have Microsoft Word and this happens when you open a document then:  Close Word.  Start, Search, For Files or Folders, All Files and Folders, More Advanced Options.  Check Search System Folders, Search Hidden Files and Folders,Search Subfolders.  Then where it says "All or part of the file name:" put in:  normal.dot then Search.  When it finishes, right click on each normal.dot and rename to anormal.dot.  Open Word (by using Start, All Programs,  (Microsoft Office). Microsoft Word.  Do not open an existing document yet!

In Word, Tools, Options, Save, and check Prompt to Save Normal template, OK.

Also Tools, Macros, Security, and set it to highest. OK.

Now close Word and allow it to save the Normal.dot template this time but after this tell it no.

Now open a document and see if you get any notices about winfixer.

If you do not have word and this happens when you enter the folder My Documents then:

 

First open Windows Explorer (right click on Windows and select Explore.)

Second make sure Windows will let you see the system and hidden files and extensions:

  Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.

  Select the View Tab.

  Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.

  Uncheck the Hide file extensions for known file types.

  Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.

  Click Yes to confirm.

  Click OK

Third locate My Documents folder and look for any files named desktop.ini.  Delete them.  Do you see any other .ini files?

Any better?
