Hi Pete,
By other user do you mean the new user account or did you run javara under the original user account?

I mean the new user logon I created on my computer.

Hello Pete,

There are some folders I want to take a look inside. Also it appears that the permissions for the Event logs weren't the only permissions that the malware messed with. You will probably continue to have issues where the old user account won't be able to run something, like the JavaRa.exe file that you had to run from the new account. There is a registry fix that you can merge into the registry that will will put a "Take Ownership" option on the right click menu so that when you can't run a file, you can right click on it and click the "Take Ownership" option and run the file that way.
But to get all of the permissions reset, the easiest thing would probably be to transfer all of your files from the old user account to the new one, then delete the old user account. Let me know what you want to do.

The last OTL log showed some new folders that I want to look in.


Step-1.

OTL Custom Scan

1. Please copy the text in the code box below and paste it in the box in OTL. To do that:

• Highlight everything inside the code box, right click the mouse and click Copy.

C:\1dfe74114c20be64c80762d23588
C:\1376ce827bcf38df0a3b331e
C:\73c51549210326fc41cf70d0
C:\4d2becf2886af8a0f6a48fa2f285
C:\d37e51664a70a5aa217a0fe5
C:\5e446f905e7c4252a90e8751bf1cb7

2. Re-open OTL on the desktop. To do that:

• Double click on the OTL icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed.
• You will see a console like the one below:
  
  
  
• Click the greyed out None button at the top of the console.<---Important
• Place the mouse pointer inside the box, right click and click Paste. This will put the above script inside OTL
• Click the button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so.
• Let the scan run uninterrupted. The scan won't take long.
• When the scan completes, it will open OTL.Txt. This file is also saved in the same location as OTL (it should be on your desktop).
• Please copy the contents of this file and paste it into your reply.

NOTE: This scan will not produce the Extras.txt file.


Step-2.

Run Revo Uninstaller

Run Revo Uninstaller again.

• Double click ( Vista/7 users may need to right click the file and click Run as Administrator) the Revo Uninstaller Icon on the desktop to start the program.
  
  
  You will now see a list of installed programs that Revo Uninstaller can remove.
  
• Locate the program you are uninstalling
  Java6 Update 26
  Java6 Update 3
• Right Click the program Icon then choose Uninstall.
• Click yes to the warning and choose the Uninstall Mode
• Choose the Advanced option and then click Next.
• This will launch the programs built in uninstaller. Be patient it can take several seconds.
• Once the Uninstaller is done click Next.
• Revo Uninstaller will now scan for leftover information. Be patient it can take several seconds.
• Once this scan is done click Next.
• You will then be presented with the leftover entries found by Revo Uninstaller
• Click any bolded boxes that relate to the programs above.
• Look at ALL of the entries to ensure they relate to the uninstall.
• Next click Delete to remove the entries.
• Click Next.
• If there are any program file folders left over you will be presented with a list to be removed.
• Again look at ALL of the entries to ensure they are related to the uninstall.
• Click Select All > Delete to remove the entries.
• Click Finish to go back to the uninstall list.
• Close the program

Step-3.

godawgs,
If the easiest thing to do is to delete the old logon that is fine with me. I am not sure how to transfer the files though?

godawgs,
I should be able to get to this tonight.
Sorry for the delay,
Pete

[godawgs]

[pa.pete]

godawgs,
I followed your instructions to transfer everything and it seems to work fine, but it didn't transfer everything on the desktop.
One thing I did notice on the desktop is something called Dailybiblebak, I have no idea what that is so I didn't click on it.
Pete

[godawgs]

One thing I did notice on the desktop is something called Dailybiblebak, I have no idea what that is so I didn't click on it.

Which desktop? The old one or the new one?

What didn't it transfer from the old desktop?

Edited by godawgs, 24 March 2012 - 09:39 AM.

[pa.pete]

The new desktop, I think it is mostly files that I had save to the desktop that are missing.

[godawgs]

OK. We're going to have to do a cleanup for both users. It should remove all of that. After that is done and everything is still working OK you can delete the old user account. I will be back with those instructions. Right now I gotta go bush hog and rake sweetgum balls....such fun!!!

[pa.pete]

When ever you get time is fine with me. I have to do Trig homework and study for a test anyway, I think I would rather bush hog and rake sweet gum balls!
Pete

[godawgs]

Hey Pete,

I think we have reached the point you were looking for.

OK! Well done. Here is the best part of the process! The mullygrubs are gone! That's a technical term for your log(s) appear to be clean! If you have no further issues with your computer, please proceed with the housekeeping procedures outlined below.
The first thing we need to do is to remove all the tools that we have used. This is so that should you ever be re-infected, you will download updated versions.

Please log into the Radwick user account


Step-1.

We need to uninstall some programs.

Program Uninstalls

1. Click the Start Orb, click Control Panel. Under the Programs heading click Uninstall a program
2. In the list of programs installed, locate the following program(s):

ESET Online Scanner
Revo Uninstaller

3. Click on each program to highlight it and click Uninstall
4. After the program(s) have been uninstalled, close the Installed Programs window and the Control Panel.
5. Reboot the computer.

Delete the folders associated with the uninstalled programs.

1. Using Windows Explorer (to get there right-click your Start button and click "Explore"), please delete the following folders(s) in red (if present):

C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET
C:\Program Files (x86)\Revo Uninstaller

2. Close Windows Explorer.


Step-2.

OTL Cleanup
1. Please copy all of the text in the code box below. To do this, highlight everything inside the code box , right click and click Copy.

• :COMMANDS
  [EMPTYTEMP]
  [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
  

• Please re-open on your desktop.
• Place the mouse pointer inside the textbox, right click and click Paste. This will put the above script inside the textbox.
• Click the button.
• Let the program run unhindered. When finished click the OK button and close the log that appears.
• NOTE: I do not need to review the log produced.
• OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.

2. Please re-open on your desktop.

• Be sure all other programs are closed as this step will require a reboot.
• Click on
• You will be prompted to reboot your system. Please do so.

The above process will flush all old System Restore points and create a new clean one. It will also remove most/all of the tools used and logs created during the cleanup process. After it is finished, OTL will remove itself. This is so that if you are ever infected again you will download the most current copy of the tool.


Now log into the peteradwick user account.


Step-1.

Unhide File Extensions

• Click the Start Orb. Click Computer.
• On the next window, at the top of the window, click Tools then click Folder Options.
• On the Folder Options window click the View tab.
• Under the Files and Folders section:
• Make sure the Hide extensions for known file types box is un-checked.
  
  

Delete the following files from the desktop (if present):

javara.zip
javara folder
java_files.jpg
JavaRa.zip.asaq8lr.partial
JavaRa.zip.1yujzdi.partial
RogueKiller.htm
aswmbr.exe
mbr.dat
gooredfix.exe
gooredfix.txt
gooredfix backups
mbam--setup-1.60.1.1000.exe
dailybiblebak.reg

Delete any other .bat, .log, .reg, .txt, and any other files created during this process, and left on the desktop and empty the Recycle Bin.


When this is done, please use the computer for another day or two and if everything is OK you can delete the Radwick user account.



Preventing Re-Infection


Below, I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against future malware infections.

:Keep Windows Updated:-Windows Updates are constantly being revised to combat the newest hacks and threats, Microsoft releases security updates that help your computer from becoming vulnerable. It is best if you have these set to download automatically.

Vista and Windows 7 Users:
1. Click Start> All Programs, from the list find Windows Update and click it.


:Turn On Automatic Updates:

Vista and Windows 7
1. Click Start> Control Panel. Click Security. Under Windows Update, Click Turn automatic on or off.
2. On the next page, under Important Updates, Click the Drop down arrow on the right side of the box and Click Install Updates Automatically(recommended).
If you click this setting, click to select the day and time for scheduled updates to occur. You can schedule Automatic Updates for any time of day. Remember, your computer must be on at the scheduled time for updates to be installed. After you set this option, Windows recognizes when you are online and uses your Internet connection to find updates on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site that apply to your computer. Updates are downloaded automatically in the background, and you are not notified or interrupted during this process. An icon appears in the notification area of your task bar when the updates are being downloaded. You can point to the icon to view the download status. To pause or to resume the download, right-click the icon, and then click Pause or Resume. When the download is completed, another message appears in the notification area so that you can review the updates that are scheduled for installation. If you choose not to install at that time, Windows starts the installation on your set schedule.

: Keep Java Updated :

• Click the Start button
• Click Control Panel
• Double Click Java - Looks like a coffee cup. You may have to switch to Classical View on the upper left of the Control Panel to see it.
• Click the Update tab
• Click Update Now
• Allow any updates to be downloaded and installed

: Keep Adobe Reader Updated :

• Open Adobe Reader
• Click Help on the menu at the top
• Click Check for Updates
• Allow any updates to be downloaded and installed

NOTE: Whether you use Adobe Reader, Acrobat or Foxit Reader to read pdf files you need to disable Javascript in the program. There is an exploit out there now that can use it to get on your PC. For Adobe Reader: Click Start, All Programs, Adobe Reader, Edit, Preferences, Click on Javascript in the left column and uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript. Click OK Close program. It's the same for Foxit Reader except Preferences is under the Tools menu, and you uncheck Enable Javascript Actions.

:Web Browsers:

:Make your Internet Explorer more secure:
1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
2. Click once on the Security tab
3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
5. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to "Prompt"
6. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to "Disable"
7. Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to "Disable"
8. Change the Installation of desktop items to "Prompt"
9. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to "Prompt"
10. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
11. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, click the Yes button.
12. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

:Alternate Browsers:

Using an alternative web browser can help protect your PC from infections which exploit security holes within Internet Explorer. They can also be quicker to load pages and offer more tools and features such as Firefox's huge addon list.
Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has a great built-in pop up blocker. If you are interested, Click Here To Download Firefox
If you choose to use Firefox, I highly recommend these add-ons to keep your PC even more secure.

• NoScript - for blocking ads and other potential website attacks
• WebOfTrust - a safe surfing tool for your browser. Traffic-light rating symbols show which websites you can trust when you search, shop and surf on the Web.
• McAfee SiteAdvisor - this tells you whether the sites you are about to visit are safe or not. A must if you do a lot of Googling

:Install the MVPs Hosts File:

• MVPS Hosts file-replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

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 a full scan at least once a month. Run Quick Scans at least once a week. Download the Free versions. And update the definitions before running scans.

========Anti Spyware========

• Malwarebytes-Free Version- a powerful tool to search for and eliminate malware found on your computer.
• 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.
• WinPatrol - will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. Help file and 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.

It's 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========

• TFC by OldTimer-A very powerful cleaning program for 32 and 64 bit OS. Note: You may have this already as part of the fixes you have run.
• CleanUP-Click the Download CleanUP! link. There is also a Learn how to use CleanUP! link on this page.

:BACKUPS:

• Keep a backup of your important files.-Now, more than ever, it's especially important to protect your digital files and memories. This article is full of good information on alternatives for home backup solutions.
• ERUNT-(Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.

:Keep Installed Programs Up to Date:

Secunia Software Inspector-It is also possible for other programs on your computer to have security vulnerability that can allow malware to infect you. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications that are regularly patched to fix vulnerabilities.

Finally, please read How did I Get Infected in the First Place(by Mr. Tony Klein and dvk01)


I'd be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can then be closed.
