Think Vundo is gone -- EXCEPT.... [RESOLVED]

Several days ago, my Avast AV popped up and said I was infected by a trojan. Then it said several trojans. Apparently it started with Vundo and others followed.

Sorry, my mom went through my room and threw out many of my notes a day or two ago, but I did find one scrap of paper that I had scribbled on that mentioned Qdrmodulell.exe (which ZoneAlarm kept telling me was trying to access the internet, I denied access) and Jkhfe.dll

Avast couldn't handle it all, so ended up do a number of scans with a number of online resources, including SuperAntispyware Free edition; F-Secure (which seemed to work well); Spybot; Prevxcsifree; FixVundo; VundoFix and VirtumundoBeGone.

Most were run in SafeMode.

I also ran SDFIX, and followed it all up with CCleaner, both to clean system and to fix registry. All seems to be working well now, and subsequent scans are clean, EXCEPT when I startup my system now and log-in, I get a box telling me that the file Jkhfe.dll cannot be found in the registry. I "X" out of that box and everything seems to work.

However, it makes me think that there still is something in my computer left over from all the trouble.

Here is my HJT Log;

Hi there it looks like you have the latest variant which is extremely sneaky - so lets have at it :)

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhfe.exe

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Close HiJackThis.

THEN

Just to make sure the file is gone

Please download the OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please 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\system32\jkhfe.exe
  • Return to OTMoveIt2, right click in the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be Moved" window (under the light blue bar) and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.
  • Close OTMoveIt2
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.

FINALLY FOR NOW

Download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.
  • Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall

Logs required : OTMoveit and Combofix

THANKS for the quick reply. I made the change after running HJT again.

And after running HJT and making the "fix," here is the Old Timer MoveIt Log:

File/Folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\jkhfe.exe not found.

OTMoveIt2 v1.0.8 log created on 01182008_194327

And here is the COMBOFIX LOG:

That looks really good now, just the orphan registry entries to clear I think

Run Superantispyware
  • On the first page select Check for Updates
  • On completion select SCAN YOUR COMPUTER
  • On the next page select COMPLETE SCAN and tick ALL your drives
  • The next stage will take a while as your entire drive(s), memory and registry are scanned
  • When it has completed click NEXT
  • The next screen shows the problems found click OK
  • On the next screen place a tick against all items and select NEXT
  • Now to get the log Go to the PREFERENCES button on the right bottom
  • Select the STATISTICS/LOG tab
  • Highlight the scan just completed and click VIEW LOG
  • This will open a notepad text file copy and paste this to your next reply

Logs required : Just Superantispyware plus how is your computer running now ?

Once again, many thanks for your help. All that SuperAntiSpyware seemed to find was BearShare, and I know that it can be a risk, but I would really prefer to keep it....What do you think?

Otherwise, everything seems fine....

As long as you are aware of the risks and allways scan downloads with your AV and Antispy before running

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :)

You may now delete all the tools I had you download


Now to get you off to a good start we will re-set your restore points so that all the bad stuff is gone for good. Then if you need to restore at some stage you will be clean. There are several ways to reset your your restore point but this is my method:

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore.
2. On the dialogue box that appears select Create a Restore Point
3. Click NEXT
4. Enter a name e.g. Clean
5. Click CREATE

You now have a clean restore point, to get rid of the bad ones:

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup.
2. In the Drop down box that appears select your main drive e.g. C
3. Click OK
4. The System will do some calculation and the display a dialogue box with TABS
5. Select the More Options Tab.
6. At the bottom will be a system restore box with a CLEANUP button click this
7. Accept the Warning and select OK again, the program will close and you are done



Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free program:
  • SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To keep your operating system up to date visit

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this article by Tony Klien: So how did I get infected in the first place?


Keep safe :)

I absolutely appreciate all the help!!

One question on Windows System Restore. I have tried to use it in the past and it has never worked. I click on restore it always pops up and says it is unable to do so. So, I switched it off a long time ago and have never bothered trying it again.

Is this common? Is there another way to do this so I would have some more confidence in the procedure?
