Title: Command Service (and Other Spyware) Removal - Help Required
Post by: Wadinator on July 10, 2006, 10:00:16 AM
I am really getting frustrated with Command Service and a few other spyware that have worked their way onto my machine. Help cleaning my computer would be very much appreciated.

Symptoms
Every time I boot up my machine, I get two errors, that the modules w00306e7.dll and w002f10d.dll cannot be found. I also get several popups and seemingly random errors such as Windows Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close. ( when I don't even have Windows Explorer running ) Most importantly (annoyingly), my taskbar (start bar) appears for a few seconds when I boot up my computer however it quickly disappears and I am forced to use the Ctrl + Esc workaround.  Recently, I have also been getting (invisible) popups which play music but do not appear on the screen.

I have Ad-Aware SE, Spybot S&D, Ewido, and a free trial version of Kaspersky Antivirus 6.0 (recommended from another site). I have run several scans with each of the above. The most recent round of scans I performed last night got rid of everything except three registry keys for Command Service found by Spybot S&D.  Spybot then is only able to get rid of one of the three keys and asked to run on startup. However, when I did this, Spybot was still unable to get rid of the keys, saying that they were in use (memory).

Below is my HijackThis log. Hopefully, someone here sees something that I don't. Thanks in advance.

Title: Command Service (and Other Spyware) Removal - Help Required
Post by: guestolo on July 10, 2006, 10:34:08 AM
Since you have used Kaspersky's trial and removed what you can with it
I also see Norton's AV installed, I suggest that if Norton's is kept up to date that you uninstall the trial version of
Kaspersky'
Having more than one active AV running in the background can cause conflicts

Also, you are controlling startup entries with msconfig
I need to see the whole log without interference

Go to START>>RUN>>type in
msconfig
Hit OK

Under the STARTUP tab ensure ALL is enabled
Under the General tab select NORMAL startup
Apply it and Close
Decline to Restart at the prompt

Instead, Spybot's TeaTimer will also interfere with any fixes we may have to do
Can I have you disable it for now, you can reenable it after we have you clean
Open Spybot and click on Mode and check Advanced Mode
Check yes to next window.
Click on Tools in bottom left hand corner.
Click on Resident
Uncheck Teatimer box.
Click Allow Change box if prompted
Exit Spybot

Reboot the computer, come back here and post a fresh hijackthis log

I have disabled TeaTimer and disabled all antivirus protection for Kaspersky. Norton AV is up to date. Also I did every you said in MSCONFIG. Below is a fresh HijackThis log. Thanks for your timely reply.

I can still see Kapersky's running in your processes
Apparently it's not all disabled
Be forwarned that this can cause problems!

==Download and install Windows CleanUp! 4.5.2 (http://\"http://www.stevengould.org/downloads/cleanup/CleanUp452.exe\")
Don't run a scan yet

CleanUp! attempts to delete files from various temporary directories (including download directories/caches),
as well as emptying the Recycle Bins.
If you make a habit of saving files that you wish to keep in any of these places,  they will be deleted when CleanUp! is run.
Please move them too a different location before we run this tool if the above is true
Note: It is generally considered poor practice to use temporary folders or the Recycle Bin to store files you intend to keep.

==Open Ewido and then click the Update tab at the top. Under Manual Update click Start update.
After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")
Close Ewido. Do not run it yet.

==Download [color=\"red\"]Brute Force Uninstaller[/color] (http://\"http://www.merijn.org/files/bfu.zip\")[/b] to your desktop.[color=\"red\"]RIGHT-CLICK HERE[/color] (http://\"http://metallica.geekstogo.com/alcanshorty.bfu\")[/b] and choose "Save As" (in IE it's "Save Target As") in order to download [color=\"red\"]Alcan worm remover[/color].
Save it in the same folder you made earlier (c:\BFU).

==Download Delcmdservice.zip (http://\"http://users.telenet.be/marcvn/tools/delcmdservice.zip\") to your Desktop.
Now EXTRACT the  delcmdservice-folder within to your desktop.
We'll need this later

Print the remainder of these instructions and/or save them to a text file on desktop for reference

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode. To boot into Safe Mode, please restart your computer. Tap F8 before Windows loads. Select Safe Mode on the screen that appears.

Once in safe mode
==Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
Set the program up as follows:
Click "Options..."
Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):

    * Empty Recycle Bins
    * Delete Cookies
    * Delete Prefetch files
    * Cleanup! All Users

Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.
When it's done>>Click Close
DECLINE to Log off or Restart the computer
NOTE: The first time you run CleanUp! it may prompt to run in Demonstration mode
Deny this, we want to run the actual cleanup!!

==Go to Start > My Computer and navigate to the C:\BFU folder.==Open the delcmdservice-folder on your desktop and double-click on DelReg.bat, a DOS-window will open and rapidly close - this is normal -
Exit the delcmdservice folder when done

Ewido ScanDo a "System scan only" with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [w00306e7.dll] RUNDLL32.EXE w00306e7.dll,I2 001a7b21000306e7

O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe
O4 - Startup: Zeno.lnk = C:\WINDOWS\system32\mwintpez.exe


After you have ticked the above entry, close All other open windows
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis


Reboot back to Normal mode
Back in Windows
Check for updates and run a scan with Spybot

Post back the following please

1. Run Hijackthis again and post back a fresh log
2. Post the whole report from Ewido's

Let me know if Spybot found anything

Oops. I thought disabling Kaspersky would stop its active protection. Oh well, I will uninstall it.

Thanks for your help. I will get back to you when I have finished the previous set of instructions.

Post by: Wadinator on July 10, 2006, 01:51:16 PM
OK, here goes. Kaspersky is now uninstalled. It should not show up anywhere now.

Cleanup! worked as specified. No problems.
BruteForceUninstall also worked fine.
Delreg.bat - no problems.

Updated and ran ewido. After a two hour scan, it showed nothing. I did not upload the empty file.

Then I ran HJT. Only the first 4 of the five items were found. I fixed them all.

When I rebooted to normal mode, I still had no taskbar. However, the module errors I had gotten before were gone.

Then, I updated Spybot S&D and ran a scan. It found 2 registry keys I have not encountered before while using S&D. The first is called Axfibula. The second is called Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify.  I assume I should delete the first, but am not sure about the second.

At several times during this process, Norton AV found several trojans including Downloader. It was able to delete them or disable them.

Anyway, below is the newest version of the HijackThis log. Thanks again for your help.

The Update.exe file in the Common Files directory gave the following report.

Scanner results  
AntiVir  Found nothing
ArcaVir  Found nothing
Avast  Found nothing
AVG Antivirus  Found nothing
BitDefender  Found nothing
ClamAV  Found nothing
Dr.Web  Found Trojan.Starter.65

Kaspersky Anti-Virus  Found nothing

There is also a file in that directory called services.dll.

============================================

As far as Kaspersky goes... You're right. The uninstall did not work the first time because the program does not actually close when you hit close. It is hidden as an icon near the clock on the taskbar. I did not see this because I could not see the taskbar. Anyway, I am 100% sure it is uninstalled now. No further measures need to be taken to get rid of it, I hope.

Now that I have had you remove Kaspersky's
Can I get you to run another scanner please, this is a virus scanner you don't have to install
Dr. Web's is the only one that identified the file as bad
You may want to first disable Norton's Auto Protection, then

* Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe (http://\"ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe\")

I ran a express scan and a full scan using the new tool. It found a total of five objects, all of which were either deleted or moved. At the end of the scan, I was not able to click the buttons on the side, which I assume means nothing was uncurable.

Anyway, here is the saved file and a new HJT report.  Thank you for your assistance.

Title: Command Service (and Other Spyware) Removal - Help Required
Post by: Wadinator on July 10, 2006, 10:10:15 PM
My system is beginning to act normally again. I still have a couple of issues though. Firstly, my system takes 2-3 times longer to startup than it did before I started having virus issues. Secondly, I still do not have a taskbar. Before, the taskbar would appear for a few seconds when I started the computer. Now, it does not appear at all.  On the other hand, I am recieving no alerts from Norton AV and not receiving the "module" errors mentioned previously.

Below is the txt file resulting from the WPFind scan.

=====================================

WARNING: not all files found by this scanner are bad. Consult with a knowledgable person before proceeding.

If you see a message in the titlebar saying "Not responding..." you can ignore it. Windows somethimes displays this message due to the high volume of disk I/O. As long as the hard disk light is flashing, the program is still working properly.

========================================================

I think I may have found a solution to the missing taskbar problem. At the bottom of the page linked below, http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/archiv...php/t-8830.html (http://\"http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-8830.html\")
there is advice given about deleting a registry key. I am hesitant to try this without confirmation that it won't mess up my system further. What do you think?

========================================================

Thank you for taking your time to help myself and others sort out malware problems. It is good to see that there are still some good people left in this world.

Are you still having problems with taskbar?
If you are
From kellys-korner-xp.com
Download and save too desktop nodesktop.reg (http://\"http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/nodesktop.reg\")
Double click on nodesktop.reg
allow to add/merge to registry

Reboot the computer

How is everything?

I installed and ran the nodesktop.reg file you suggested and rebooted the computer. It did not appear to help.

The lack of taskbar problem seems to be the last thing wrong with my pc. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Let's keep digging
Download [color=\"red\"]SmitfraudFix[/color] (http://\"http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip\")[/url] (by S!Ri)
Extract the contents (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

[color=\"#3366FF\"]Note[/color] : [color=\"#FF0000\"]process.exe[/color] [color=\"#3366FF\"]is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.[/color]

If you find these file, can you send them too the recycle bin
Exact file names in the exact locations
They should be gone, but take a look
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdclogon.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wjploc.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dround3d.dll

Could you also
Download:  Registry Search Tool from this link, it's a very small download
http://billsway.com/vbspage/ (http://\"http://billsway.com/vbspage/\")
You will have to scroll down to see it

Unzip and double-click "RegSrch.vbs"
Note: if your Antivirus or another program prompts about running a ".vbs" file, allow the script to run

In the open field copy and paste the below in bold then hit OK

After the reboot to safe mode, I DID NOT find either of the two files you specified.
When I ran SmitfraudFix, I did not get any messages about wininet.dll.
Around this time, Disk Cleanup started. I let it run.
SmitfraudFix did not prompt me to restart the system, but I did anyway since that was the next instruction.
There were no checkboxes checked on the web tab of Display Settings.

My system is running identical to last time I explained. No taskbar. Slow Startup. Other than that, it seems OK.

Here are the two log files you wanted.

Can you try a couple more things for me please
Then we can see if it's related to a legit program you have installed

1. Download this file - Combofix.exe (http://\"http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/combofix.exe\") and save it too desktop
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Also, Download and save too desktop
 F-Secure Blacklight(blbeta.exe) (http://\"https://europe.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml\")

    Double click to run blbeta.exe
    * Accept the user agreement.
    * Click Scan.
    * After the scan finishes, click on Next, then Exit.
Do not rename any files if found by blacklight, I need to see the log

BlackLight will create a log on your desktop with the name "fsbl-xxxxxxx.log". Please post that log .

Thanks

I'll run the first app and get back to you in a few minutes.

I ran the OIUninstaller. It rebooted at the end saying that some files would be deleted on during reboot.

Once the computer rebooted, I still encountered the disappearing taskbar error. (It disappeared after about 5 seconds)

Then, I ran ComboFix again. Here is the log file it created.

Find and delete this file from another fix
C:\WINDOWS\system32\VundoFix.exe
and these folders
C:\Program Files\PSHope
C:\Program Files\Need2Find

I want  you to find the next folders and send them too the recycle bin also
Leave them there for now
They are the folders with question marks in them, the ? marks will not actually be found, they are characters not recognized by Windows
They may actually appear as legit folder names
Remain in the Program Files folder and look for the next folder name
C:\Program Files\??crosoft.NET <--in the Exact location, may be named as a legit folder Microsoft.NET which is located in the Windows folder
Right click on the folder, it should have a creation date of 2006-07-06

and then navigate to this one
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\?racle
May be named Oracle
Creation date also
2006-07-06

Can you again go to either
http://virusscan.jotti.org/ (http://\"http://virusscan.jotti.org/\")
or
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html (http://\"http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html\")

Can you scan these files and post the results please

Hi questolo,

I found and removed the first three files/folders you told me to.
I also found the Microsoft.NET folder but its creation date was August 15, 2005. So I did not move it to the recycle bin.
The Oracle folder did have a creation date of 2006-07-06 so I deleted that one.

The online virus scan I did on the three files produced the following results:

1) jxea7b22.sys >> nothing found
2) internaldb41.dat >> This file brought up another page which said "The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file"
3) BattyRun.dll >> nothing found

Thanks for your help.

I can't find no info on jxea7b22.sys
Can you send it to the recycle bin for now, we'll leave it there
Could you also send BattyRun.dll with it

Can you do the following
Open Notepad (START>>>RUN>>>type in notepad)
Hit OK
Copy the contents of the CODE box to notepad, not including the word "code"
Paste it to the empty Notepad file
In Notepad click FILE>>SAVE AS
Change the Save as Type to All Files.
Name the file as find.bat

Save this file on the desktop

Code: [Select]
REMOVED
Double click on find.bat, a text file called find.txt should open, can you copy>paste back here the whole contents please

Did you misinterpret me when I said Nothing Found? I meant that the online scan said both of those files were clear. I did not mean that the files could not be found.

I'll do what you said anyway, just checking.

OK, here are the results of find.bat

Leave the contents we removed in the recycle bin for now
Don't delete Microsoft.NET

If you find this file, send it to the recycle bin also
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntmsdba.exe

Reboot the computer

Any luck with taskbar?

If not, Can you do the following for me

Go to START>>RUN>>type in msconfig
Hit OK

Under the SERVICES tab Select "Hide All Microsoft Services"
Then Choose Disable ALL and select APPLY

Under the STARTUP tab select Disable ALL
APPLY and then CLOSE
Reboot the computer
Any luck with the taskbar?

I don't want you running like this for long, just let me know if the taskbar appears

Will do.

By the way, I do not see a file with the name ntmsdba.exe but I do have a .dll with the same name.
Title: Command Service (and Other Spyware) Removal - Help Required
Post by: guestolo on July 12, 2006, 11:42:03 PM
the .dll is a legit file, we can leave it alone
In addition, can you ensure that a program such as Stardock doesn't have an option such as hide taskbar enabled

Yipee!!!!!! Aw Great, you made me wake up everyone. Yes, the taskbar is back. (Hopefully for good)
Would you like a list of the services I disabled?
No, Stardock has no hide taskbar settings. Nevermind, I think it does. (Just checked their website)
I'll restart with ObjectDock service and startup features enabled to see if I can get it back. OK?

Sure, or could  it have been a startup entry?

EDIT>>That would be your next move, by process of elimination find out which startup entry or Service is the cause of the problem

Hey questolo, you were right (as usual)

I found it. It turns out there IS in fact a setting in ObjectDock that reads "Show Windows Taskbar". I have no idea how that got unchecked.

You have been a tremendous help. I appreciate the time you put in to helping me. You and the other people on this forum really do a great job. Thank you for all your continued assistance. I could have never cleared this up without you.

Could you leave this thread open for a while? In case that was not the last problem. I'll test everything the next few days and if everything works, I'll add even more thanks to the above paragraph.

I'm off to bed anyways
Make sure you don't empty the contents of the recycle bin yet

The PSHope
 and Need2Find folders you removed you can definitely live without, they are NOT legit
Same with BattyRun.dll

I want to make sure you can live without the  Oracle folder and jxea7b22.sys file

Ensure to reenable all Services and startup entries related to Anti-Virus as soon as possible

We did clear you of some malware, so that's a good thing
I have some other recommendations later, for now goodnight  /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Let me know how things are running as soon as you can.
By tomorrow evening, or soon after, post one last hijackthis log when you post back

Hi questolo,

Things are running OK. I do have 2 minor concerns however.
1) Windows Security Center brings up a popup (speech bubble style) near my taskbar everytime I reboot. It says that my computer may be at risk because Norton AV is disabled. However, when I open NAV, I find everything is up to date and enabled. See picture below.
[attachment=935:attachment]
2) Secondly, before I got infected, I used a program called Windows Blinds ( perhaps you've heard of it ) to change the appearance of my pc. Now, the skins will still load, but they do not do so automatically like they did before. I've looked around for any settings that may have caused this but I can't find anything. Since everything in the startup tab in MSCONFIG is enabled, I assume the startup app that loaded the skins is now disabled and no longer on the list.

I have deleted the 3 things you specified above permanently. Have you found anything about the Oracle folder and jxea7b22.sys file?

You said you had a few more recomendations. I would love to hear them, considering how well your previous advice has worked.

Here is an updated HijackThis log you requested.

Don't worry about the WindowBlinds issue. I got it fixed. The NAV thing is really weird though. If you have any ideas, please share.

Why am I only able to edit once or twice? That is the only reason I posted again.

Have you made sure that Norton's Auto protect is enabled?
You can also reenabe Script blocking if disabled

If that's not the problem, let me know, I have other options

Hi questolo,

Yeah, I'm sure Auto-Protect and Script Blocking are enabled. I don't know what's wrong. Even when I use all default settings ( everything enabled ), I still get the strange error. Should I just assume it is working and tell Windows not to warn me about NAV being disabled?

Yes, just to double check
Go into Security Center in Control panel and ensure it states that AntiVirus is enabled

Then you can tell it the next time it pops up
Click the balloon >>Recommended Solutions then put a check mark at "I have an anti-virus program that i will monitor myself....."

If everything is running better
We should flush all your restore points msconfig
Click OK
Click the "Launch System Restore" button
On the Left hand side click on "System Restore Settings"
Put a Check in "Turn off System Restore"
Apply it and OK out of there>>Reboot your computer
[/list]                          
Back in Windows, Go back and take the check out of "Turn off system restore"
This will reenable the System Restore feature and creates a new restore point

                 [indent][color=\"#CC0000\"]Protect yourself against Future Attacks[/color][/i][/b][/indent]
*Install  SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 by JavaCool (http://\"http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\")   After installation, Check for updates and then click the "Enable all protection"
"Check for updates every couple of weeks"
after every update just simply click the "enable protection on all unprotected items"

*Keep up to date on Windows updates (High Priorities)
This is the most important step in keeping your system secure
Make sure you check for updates at least once a month and/or set to Autoupdate
                   
*Make sure your Anti-Virus software is always kept up to date and actively running in the background

*Keep your Firewall protection enabled
A Firewall is also very important
This provides a line of defense against someone who might try to access your computer without your permission

Update and do scan's with your Anti-Spyware programs on a regular basis
In addition, open Spybot 1.4
Click the "Immunize" button on the left>>>OK at the prompt>>Immunzine at the top green cross
Immunize after every update

About the folder and file I couldn't find info on
They both had creation dates about the same time as your problems
To be safe, try the following
Open the MyDocuments folder>>Right click an empty spot and select NEW>>Folder
Name the new folder>>Backup
Go into the recycle bin and restore both folder and file

Then navigate to both the following
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\?racle (Oracle)
Right click on Oracle and select CUT then PASTE it to the Backup folder you created
Don't select Copy, we actually want to remove them from their original locations
Do the same for
C:\WINDOWS\system32\jxea7b22.sys

Keep them in the backup folder for a couple of weeks, if you have no problems with any programs
Chances are they were/are bad and you can delete the Backup folder
Stay safe  /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

questolo,

I'll delete all the restore points and try your advice with the folders. You have been a tremendous help. I sincerely thank you for your help and patience.

Your welcome, optionally, I leave this up to you
These entries in your log
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
O4 - Global Startup: BigFix.lnk = C:\Program Files\BigFix\BigFix.exe

Not malicious, but here's some info
You can disable these from running on startup to save on system resources

If you decide to fix both or either
After doing the above instructions to disable Realone Player updater

With all other windows closed have Hijackthis fix checked both those entries

Reboot the computer

If you have no other problems I'll lock this topic shortly, take care
