System is running slow, homepage keeps changing to softwarereferral.com website. Unable to access the Task Manager. Raining frogs.

OK, no frogs, but this malware infection is annoying.

Any assistance rendered would be most appreciated.

BFU ran without any problems. The security warnings have stopped.
*****************************

The Kapersky scan is still running, found 2 viruses / 5 infected objects thus far. At the rate the scan is progressing, I'm looking at an estimated 50 hour scan time. BFU seems to have taken care of the major problems at the moment, there have been no false security messages on the computer since the reboot.

This is the boss' computer. The IT guy asked me to take a shot at the cleanup, since he wasn't immediately available. I do PLC and systems integration.

Whoops, Kapersky is scanning drives on the network, that explains the long scan times...

Restarting scan.

And here is the scanner report. VNC is a legit tool we use for remote access.

Not sure what "AdWare.Win32.Vapsup.bua" is.

Well, it looks like you are just about in the clear. Let's clean up!

Please download OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer.

• Save it to your desktop.
• Double-click OTMoveIt2.exe to run it.

Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

C:\WINDOWS\fkxvkns.exe


Return to OTMoveIt, right click on the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be moved" window and choose Paste.

• Click the red Moveit! button.
• Open Notepad, and copy everything in the Results window to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy).
• Save the Notepad file to your Desktop as OTM.txt.
• Close OTMoveIt

Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

Please include the contents of OTM.txt in your next reply.

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


Now lets uninstall Combofix and reset a few things:

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK

The above procedure will do the following:

• Delete ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
• Delete VundoFix backups, if present
• Delete the C:\Deckard folder, if present
• Delete the C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
• Reset the clock settings.
• Hide file extensions, if required.
• Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
• Reset System Restore.

Please delete any logs or other files we have used during the fixing of your machine.

OK, lets carry out a few preventative steps to make sure you reduce the risk of further infections.

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


An essential is to keep your computer updated with the latest operating system patches and security fixes. Windows Updates are constantly being revised to combat the newest hacks and threats, Microsoft releases security updates that help your computer from becoming vunerable. It is best if you have these set to download automatically.

Automatic Updates for Windows

• Click Start.
• Select Settings and then Control Panel.
• Select Automatic Updates.
• Click Automatic (recommended)
• Choose a day and a time when you know the computer will be on and connected to the internet.
• Click Apply then OK.

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


In addition to Windows updates, you also need to ensure that your version of Java is the latest.Click here to download the latest version (Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 5). Once downloaded, install it and then Reboot your computer.

It is most important that you also uninstall older versions of Java.

• Click Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.
• Delete all Java updates except Java ™ 6 Update 5

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


OK, now lets download some preventative programs that will help to keep the nasties away! We will start with Anti Spyware programs. I would advise getting a couple of them at least, and running each at least once a month.

Anti Spyware

• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place. A tutorial can be found here.
• SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute. A tutorial can be found here.
• IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email. A tutorial can be found here.
• Spybot Search & Destroy a powerful tool which can "search and destroy" nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections. A tutorial can be found here.
• AdAware another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. A tutorial can be found here. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.

Note: If you find your system slows down after installing any of these, just uninstall it, or disable it from running at startup.

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


Lastly, it is a good idea to clear out all your temp files every now and again. This will help your computer from bogging down and slowing. It also can assist in getting rid of files that may contain malicious code that could re-infect your computer.

Temp File Cleaners

• CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Note: Do NOT run this program if you have XP Professional 64 bit edition.
• ATF Cleaner A very powerful cleaning program for XP and Windows 2000 only. Note: You may have this already as part of the fixes you have run.

To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein.

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

I will keep this log open for the next couple of days, so if you have any further problems post another reply here.

OK, all the best, and stay safe!

Best regards,
RatHat

OTM Log:

C:\WINDOWS\fkxvkns.exe moved successfully.

OTMoveIt2 v1.0.20 log created on 03052008_174108

All else seems to be OK. We installed AdAware earlier on, and our IT guy is going to advise the boss on what not to do and where not to go while surfing.

I'll post back in a few days.

Thanks!
