Title: Need help plsss asap!!
Post by: thegr8domain on June 10, 2005, 04:28:50 AM
Hi my name is matt and my desktop has been hijacked I think.
First was a trojan named Trojan.Zlob.B and Trojan.Zlob, i removed both successfully (i think)
And next is some desktop hijack thing that changed my background to a picture that had something like "YOU MAY HAVE SPYWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER, CLICK LINK BELOW FOR REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS" And so I clicked the link and it brought me to some SpyWare software that I can buy for $19.99 (HOW DARE THEY HIJACK ME TO SELL THEIR SOFTWARE GRRR) anyways...

Here is my hijack log

This is a standardized Fix for the Smitfraud Infection!

Please read these instructions carefully and print them out!  Be sure to follow ALL instructions!

Please RIGHT-CLICK: [color=\"red\"]HERE[/color] (http://\"http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/reg/smitfraud.reg\") and go to Save As (in Internet Explorer it's "Save Target As") in order to download Grinler's reg file. Save it to your desktop.

Locate "smitfraud.reg" on your desktop and double-click it.  When asked if you want to merge with the registry, click YES.  Wait for the "merged successfully" prompt then follow the rest of the instructions below.

Ok I went through and did everything you asked and ran into some problems

Problems:
1) When I was using killbox to copy the lines you asked me copy using CTRL + C i did exactly as u said to highlight and then copy by using ctrl + c but then when i hit file > "paste from clipboard" in killbox it didnt paste anything... i tried it many different ways and many different times and no luck with it, so instead i put each file path one by one, then restarted after all of them (im not sure if it worked or not because of that problem)
2) Still cannot get background to load
3) Background is still shading randomly white and tan colors...
4) During the activescan i think 5 infected files were found
5) Do i need to turn System restore back on in order for this process to work???

Here are the logs you requested, Hope you can help me /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Hey I just noticed a line that may be an issue

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msnmsgr] "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background

I also forgot to mention some wierd things that i noticed on my desktop

When I use  the right click function on my mouse it brings up different menu options very often, for example i just right clicked the desktop and it brought up "Select All, Print, Google Search" i clicked on google search and it showed google as my desktop background picture.
Seems very wierd to me, almost like differnet programs or executables are running as my background randomly...
Just thought that might help you figure it out

-Thanks again, look forward to ur response !

Dow you know what the below entry is,if not delete the file please!

C:\Program Files\Course Technology\SAM 2003\Core2.5\png2swf.exe

Please Locate and Delete

C:\Windows\Web\desktop.html<< File

C:\WINDOWS\desktop.html<< File

C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar\ar3.jar-2a880e3-48eeeae1.zip<< File

C:\Program Files\Ares Lite Edition\My Shared Folder\college strippers xxx cd rip.wmv<< File

C:\Program Files\MySearch<< Folder

C:\Program Files\Ares<< Folder

Please Download Spywad Regonly.exe to your C:\ Drive ( This MUST run from the C:\ drive in order to work)
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/mosa...-2k-Regonly.zip (http://\"http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/mosaic1/XP-2k-Regonly.zip\")

Unzip and be sure to "Extract All Files"

Double Click "Clean Spywad Regonly.exe" This should automatically open the "Clean Spywad Regonly" folder!

Double Click on the "Reg only XP2k Spywad.vbs" (Please DO NOT run any of the other files until asked)

If you have script blocking enabled you will get a warning about a malicious script wanting to run. Please allow this script to run. It is not malicious.

If you get a message when you first run it, just doubleclick the cleandesktop.vbs script again you sometimes get that message when a script blocker blocks the script

It will then kill Explorer. You will lose your taskbar and desktop. It will repair the registry entries returning your normal desktop and context menu functions.

It will restart Explorer.

Once that is completed, If there are any other Users on the System,they will need to log in under that User Name to clean up their desktop and regain the right click.

Included is another vbs to do this. It is named "Other Profiles Regfix.vbs"

Have each User sign in and run "Other Profiles Regfix.vbs"
Locate C:\Clean Spywad Regonly folder> Double click on Other Profiles Regfix.vbs

Explorer will be ended and that user's active desktop registry entries will be repaired. Explorer will be restarted.

To restore the desktop to whatever picture you normally have right click on a blank part of desktop & select properties/desktop & select your prefered picture press apply & then ok to exit and then press F5

You will need to do this step for every user account

Click START>>RUN and in the address bar Copy and Paste >

regedit /e c:\key.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components"

Click OK.

Then go to C:\ drive and find Key.txt <---a notepad file.

Copy and Paste the contents back here along with a fresh HijackThis log!

Ok did all the things you told me

Current Problems:
1) Desktop still wont load a picture in the background
2) In the login screen before i get inside windows i see my background picture but once i log in the picture dissapears and back comes the white & tan screen that flickers
3) I think its something in my registry thats messed up still, is it possible that there is a windows xp SP2 desktop registry recontstruction file to wipe out and replace my desktop reg's

Sorry for the wait,just getting settled back in at home froma hellish road trip!

Download the ZIp file attached and Unzip it to your desktop!

Search the entire system again for any fo these entries

C:\Windows\System32\hookdump.exe
C:\Windows\System32\winnook.exe
C:\Windows\desktop.html
C:\Windows\screen.html

Delete any exact matches found

Locate the reg file you unzipped to your desktop and double click it to merge it into the registry,make you to answer "Yes" when asked if you want to merge this file!

Restart the PC and Let me know how the desktop is now!

Stick with Cretemonster's instructions on removing files
Here is a link to a Registry fix to download and try

Click here to download and UNZIP to desktop this version of
Smitfraud.zip (http://\"http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=266\")
So you now have Smitfraud.reg extracted to desktop

Double click on Smitfraud.reg and allow to add or Merge to the registry

Restart your computer
Let us know how the desktop is
Cretemonster will probably have further recommendations

Sorry about that,the original Zip file didnt upload for some reason!

The new one will be attached this time for sure!

Use  the same instructions as before and let me know if you find any of the files I listed,also,look in the Program Files folder for a program called Antivirus Gold,if you see a folder with that name,delete it!
