    Befuddled... Mozilla hijacks and something else
    « on: December 17, 2009, 03:41:44 AM »
    Hello,

    I recently just recovered after getting attacked by a bunch of trojans/malware. During which I had to repair Windows XP Professional (SP3) and manually reinstall my system restore service. But for some reason I keep getting Hi-jacked and sent to other bogus websites when I'm doing searches in Mozilla Firefox and my background tends to blink if you will after doing things that normally wouldn't make changes to the desktop... None of my anti-virus\malware programs can seem to find anything, and after doing an online eset scan, there was only one tmp file found infected with Win32\kryptik.bfg. Any help would greatly nice...

    Thanks
    -St. Asmodeus

    Hello Stasmodeus and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Superdave but you can just call me SD. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    Download Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

    Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

    Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

    Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

    Open HijackThis and select Open the Misc Tools section. Select process manager. Search for and highlight C:\DOCUME~1\STDA09~1.ASM\LOCALS~1\Temp\SSUPDATE.EXE and click kill process
    click Main Menu

    Select Do a system scan only

    Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe Reader Speed Launcher] \"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe\"

    (Description: Adobe reader startup - unnecessarily uses system resources.)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] \"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe\"
    (Description: Sun Java update scheduler. Checks for updates. Not necessary. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources.)
    O9 - Extra button: Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Windows Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe


    Important: Close all open windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

    Once completed, exit HijackThis.

    Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links.  Be sure to save it to the Desktop.

    ComboFix

    Close any open web browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

    Temporarily disable your anti-virus, and any anti-spyware real-time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

    Vista users Right-click combofix.exe and select Run as Administrator and follow the prompts.
    Double-click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
    When finished, ComboFix will produce a log for you.
    Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

    NOTE: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

    Remember to re-enable your anti-virus and anti-spyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

      Hi Stasmodeus. Let's try this:

      GMER Rootkit Scanner
      Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here.

      •Double click the .exe file. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please consent
      •If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO


       
      Click the image to enlarge it

      •In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
      *Sections
      *IAT/EAT
      *Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
      *Show All (don't miss this one)

      •Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish
      •Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file
      •Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and post it in reply
      **Caution**
      Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

        Hey SuperDave,

        Great choice of utils, GMER is an awesome program that I've used before fixing my computer. Anyway, here's the log file that it made...

        Thanks Again for the time you've been putting in on this problem.

          Well it's really weird because the only time it tries to redirect me is when I click on links in Google, Yahoo, or Bing but lets say I use Webcrawler.com... I can click on the link listed after I do a search and doesn't redirect me... As a matter of fact it can't even do it redirect right at this point. This is the website it's trying to send me to: newserversearch.com. But Mozilla give me an error because it does not add www. to the address. So I'm a bit confused because I have also uninstalled firefox and re-installed it again only to face the same problem. Now when I use IE, Anytime I click on the same links in mentioned search sites, I receive an error saying there a problem with my internet connection. But when I click on diagnose problem, it takes me to the right site and then says it found nothing wrong with my internet connection.

          So as always I'm stumped...

          Try this please.

          * Go to TDSSKiller and Download TDSSKiller.zip to your Desktop
          * Extract its contents to your Desktop so that you have TDSSKiller.exe directly on your Desktop and not in any subfolder of the Desktop.
          * Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bold command into Run box and hit Enter.

          "%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -l C:\TDSSKiller.txt -v

          * Follow the instructions to type in "delete" when it asks you what to do when if finds something.
          * When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive called "TDSSKiller.txt" please copy and paste the contents in your next reply.

            Download GooredFix from one of the locations below and save it to your desktop

            Download Mirror #1
            Download Mirror #2

            * Ensure all Firefox windows are closed.
            * To run the tool, double-click it (XP), or right-click and select Run As Administrator (Vista).
            * When prompted to run the scan, click Yes.
            * GooredFix will check for infections, and then a log will appear.

            Post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredFix.txt).

                Well the scanners aren't getting us anywhere and apparently none of them are even detecting this yet.

                You will need to attach this log as it will be in a .zip file.

                Run a scan with MGtools and attach the log. Using MGtools

                  Delete ComboFix and download a new copy.

                  If you already have ComboFix be sure to delete it and download a new copy.

                  Download ComboFix© by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop.

                  Link #1
                  Link #2

                  **Note:  It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop

                  DO NOT run it yet!

                  Note: the below instructions were 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

                  Delete these files/folders, as follows:

                  1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
                  It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
                  2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C

                  Code: [Select]
                  KillAll::

                  File::
                  C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\YNQPXOGR.job

                  Registry::
                  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\RunOnce]
                  "Uninstall Adobe Download Manager"=-


                  3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
                  4. Then click File > Save
                  5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
                  6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!



                  ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
                  After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
                  Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.

                  Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze

                      No more redirects....

                      Thank You so much. I could not help notice that it might have something to do with "c:\windows\Tasks\YNQPXOGR.job" I saw a file  like that before in a spyware\malware I deleted and removed right before I got this problem...

                      Thank you again so much is there any other scans or logs you need me to do?

                      Yes it was the YNQPXOGR.job file.

                      Time to clean up.

                      Let's clear out the programs we've been using to clean up your computer, they are not suitable for general malware removal and could cause damage if launched accidentally. These steps will also help secure the work you have done.

                      * Click START then RUN
                      * Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox
                      * Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /Uninstall
                      * Then hit Enter.

                      The above procedure will:
                      * Delete: ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
                      * Reset the clock settings.
                      * Hide file extensions, if required.
                      * Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
                      * Set a new, clean Restore Point.

                      ----------

                      Go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.

                      ----------

                      Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
                      • Click Start Now
                      • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
                      • Click Start
                      • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
                      • Update anything listed.
                      .
                      ----------

                      Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

                      ----------

                      I recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no realtime protection so will not interfere with each other. They do not use any significant amount of resources (except a little disk space) until you run a scan.

                      I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

                      * Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

                        Great! Thank you so much...

                        I'll going through the  through the clean process in a couple hours after I have dinner... Thanks again, I'll do have super anti-spyware as my real-time protection but I do believe I will also try some of the other programs you've recommended.

                        Thanks Again for the help...
