[eardashock]

here's the results after doing all the steps you said and running pandascan.

Incident Status Location

Spyware:spyware/searchcentrix Not disinfected Windows Registry
Spyware:Spyware/Virtumonde Not disinfected C:\WINDOWS\system32\awvvs.dll

[Cookiegal]

Please run the following tool:

Adware-Virtumundo Removal Tool v1.2 (Associated with WinFixer Popups)

Note: This tools does not remove the WinFixer application. WinFixer alone does not cause popups or disrupt the system. If WinFixer was installed on your system because Adware or a Trojan Downloader installed it without your permission, please remove it using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel Applet.

If Virtumundo is not found, the tool will exit showing the log file.
If Virtumundo is found it will do the following:

Version 1.1
Create a Date/Time Stamped log file (VBG.TXT) on the All Users profile's Desktop.
Kill Internet Explorer and Explorer processes.
Rename the infected files with a .vir extension (this is to disable them from being run)
Remove the Browser Helper Object registry key
Adds a registry value to block file from running in Internet Explorer again.
Remove the Winlogon Notify registry key
Automatically restart the computer (via STOP error)
Note: This is a BLUE SCREEN "Fatal Error" Message. It is normal and expected. The tool ends an important Windows Process that was protecting the file and NT Security STOPS the system as soon as it detects this is happening.

Version 1.2
Removed the instruction to Stop McShield
Cleaned up some logging messages.
Added checking for BHO with no default name. These entries will be checked to see if they are referenced to be start up with WinLogon. If it is, it will be tagged as Virtumundo and removed.

VirusScan will now be able to remove the files normally when you run an on-demand scan.

Download Link -> http://secured2k.hom...mundoBeGone.exe [76.2 KB]MD5 SUM: a210c12a8264c024da5e0b05cb082a14

Then run your antivirus to remove any left over files

Post a fresh HJT log & the report from this tool please.

[Cookiegal]

Once you've done the above, please do this to remove some files that this infection creates that the tool doesn't take care of.


Click here to download Killbox and save it to your desktop.


Now boot to safe mode.


Now start Killbox and paste the first file listed below into the full pathname and file to delete box.

The file name will appear in the window and if the file exists it will appear in blue under that window. Then select standard file kill, press the red X button, say yes to the prompt and once the file deleted message comes up, then repeat for each file in turn.

Note: Killbox makes backups of all deleted files in a folder called C:\!submit ] If Killbox tells you any files are missing don't worry.


C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\svvwa.dll

C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\svvwa/bak1

C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\svvwa/bak2

C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\svvwa/ini1

C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\svvwa/ini2

C:\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\svvwa/tmp


Then on the top bar of Killbox press tools/delete temp files and follow those prompts and say yes to everything.

Please move HijackThis out of the Temporary files, into a separate folder of its own in program files, so that it can function properly and create back-ups which can be restored, if necessary.


Download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here.

• Install ewido.
• During the installation, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
• Launch ewido
• It will prompt you to update click the OK button and it will go to the main screen
• On the left side of the main screen click update
• Click on Start and let it update.
• DO NOT run a scan yet. You will do that later in safe mode.

Click here for info on how to boot to safe mode if you don't already know how.


Now copy these instructions to notepad and save them to your desktop. You will need them to refer to in safe mode.


Restart your computer into safe mode now. Perform the following steps in safe mode:


Run Ewido:

• Click on scanner
• Click Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
• During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click OK
• When the scan is finished, look at the bottom of the screen and click the Save report button.
• Save the report to your desktop

Reboot and post another HijackThis log please.

If that is still from a temp folder, then I don't know how to move it there I guess. Let me know!

[Cookiegal]

HijackThis is still in the Temp folder. Let's do this to move it:

Downlaod the attached zip file

Unzip it and double click the vbs script inside it and HJT will be moved from the temp folders and placed properly and opened ready to run


If you have a script blocker you might get a message warning about the script. IT IS SAFE so allow it to run

I cannot even locate c:\windows\xud.exe. I ran a system search that turned up nothing. I made sure that the hidden folders were displayed in the folder options. I checked the hijackthis file to make sure you typed it correctly and i see it in the list just like you did. So I have no idea what that's all about???
