Essexboy, do you, by any chance, know how to fix/erase Rootkits?

[Essexboy]

What type of rootkit is it .. Is it on this computer ?

[Xtreme930]

Yep, and it is affecting my modem, router, and linksys (international calling modem).. I'm not sure about the type of rootkits, but I can send you a list of them.

Edited by Xtreme930, 24 August 2012 - 05:01 PM.

[Essexboy]

How are you detecting this rootkit ?

Scanning with GMER

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.


Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here or here.

• Extract the contents of the zipped file to desktop.
• Double click GMER.exe. 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 ...
  • 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 which cannot be uploaded to your post.
  
• Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and attach it in your reply.

Notes:
[I]**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

[i]-- If you encounter any problems, try running GMER in safe mode.
-- If GMER crashes or keeps resulting in a BSODs, uncheck Devices on the right side before scanning

[Xtreme930]

I used Command Prompt to scan for rootkits, I didn't use any rootkit scanner software..

[Essexboy]

Hmm thats a new one on me how did you do that ?

What is the file name and location ?

Could you run GMER please as that will show me any

[Xtreme930]

go to cmd and do netstat -o -a, I recently discovered that too.. Sure, I'll show you the report in a bit.

[Essexboy]

netstat just shows what connections are currently used on your system, modem, router, and linksys (international calling modem)..
It will not show any rootkits at all

[Xtreme930]

Uhm... The GMER scan only gives me Services, Registry, Files, C:\, and ADS. Everything else is disabled (greyed out).

[Xtreme930]

Some tech guy came into my home and said that those are rootkits ._.

[Essexboy]

I hate to say this, but does he know what he is talking about ?

Some options will not be available on GMER dependant on the version of windows, so run with what it has

Does yours look something similar to this ?

[attachment=60043:Capture.JPG]

[Xtreme930]

Yep... Well, you see, I've had a few internet issues where my modem lights go orange on my Broadband Link and another time orange light Broadband Link and no lights on Local Network.. But yeah it looks just like that, he told me the IPs with :https at the end are rootkits..

[Essexboy]

https means that they are secure connections.. Usually mail and the like

The orange light means that the router has lost connection, so there is either a problem with the router or the broadband phone line

Are you having any other problems ?
