Been Hijacked-please Help


Recommended Posts

Before computer froze, I noticed that my homepage would default to a Winn/32 file and then I got large text on my desktop saying that my computer may be infected...Now my computer freezes when I reboot and it even freezes in safe mode when I went to run a "Hijack This Log". How do I run a log if I cannot do anything in safe mode...Please help!! thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please read this post completely, it may make it easier for you if you copy and paste this post to a new text document or print it for reference later.

This will likely be a few step process in removing the malware that has infected your system. I encourage you to stick with it and follow my directions as closely as possible so as to avoid complicating the problem further.

You have a nasty CoolWebSearch infection. First we will need to download a few tools that will help us in the removal of your problem.

Download about:buster by RubbeRDuckY Here.

Download CWShredder Here.

Download SpSeHjfix Here.

Download and install CleanUp! Here

Save all of these files somewhere you will remember like to the Desktop.

Unzip SpSeHjfix to its own folder (ie c:\SpSeHjfix)

Run the CleanUp! installer. You dont need to do anything with it right now.

Update About:Buster

  • Unzip the contents of AboutBuster.zip and an AboutBuster directory will be created.
  • Navigate to the AboutBuster directory and double-click on AboutBuster.exe.
  • Click "OK" at the prompt with instructions.
  • Click "Update" and then "Check For Update" to begin the update process.
  • If any updates exist please download them by clicking "Download Update" then click the X to close that window.
  • Now close About:Buster

Update CWShredder

  • Open CWShredder and click I AGREE
  • Click Check For Update
  • Close CWShredder

Boot into Safe Mode:

Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.

Please run about:buster by RubbeRDuckY:

  • Click Start and then OK to allow AboutBuster to scan for Alternate Data Streams.
  • Click Yes to allow it to shutdown explorer.exe.
  • It will begin to check your computer for malicious files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
  • When it has finished, click Save Log. Make sure you save it as I may need a copy of it later.
  • Reboot your computer into safe mode again

Run about:buster again following the same instructions as above, this time without the restart at the end

Now run CWShredder. Click I Agree, then Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about.

Now run SpSeHjfix. A log will be saved in the same folder that you put the exe into. Please post the results of that log in your next reply.

Now run CleanUp!. Click CleanUp and allow it to delete all the temporary files.Reboot your computer into normal windows.

Please run an on-line virus scan at Kaspersky OnLine Scan or if that doesnt work, you can use TrendMicro or BitDefender. (Please post the results of the scan(s) in your next reply)

After all that, please post back with how things went as well as the logs requested and a new HiJackThis log.

dknoppix,

Hi,

Lets see if you can get into Safe Mode again.

When in there, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get into the task manager. Click the processes tab. Find the following process, click it, and select "End Process":

csvun.exe

Now, open Hijackthis, click the scan button, and check the following items:

C:\WINNT\system32\sysvcs.exe

C:\WINNT\system32\mmrd.dll

Now, please RIGHT-CLICK HERE to download Silent Runner's.

  • Save it to the desktop.
  • Run Silent Runner's by doubleclicking the "Silent Runners" icon on your desktop.
  • You will receive a prompt:
    • Do you want to skip supplementary searches?
      click NO

    [*]You will see a text file appear on the desktop - it's not done, let it run (it won't appear to be doing anything!)

    [*]Once you receive the prompt All Done!, open the text file on the desktop, copy that entire log, and paste it here in your next post.

*NOTE* If you receive any warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run.

Finally, Run HijackThis and post a new log, as well as your SilentRunners log.

Ok, lets try it this way.

Boot into Safe Mode, and click Start --> Run. Type "cmd" and press enter.

In the command prompt, type: taskkill /f csvun.exe

Now locate "C:\WINNT\system32\csvun.exe and rename it csvun.old.

Now do the instructions in the fix in my previous post.

Good luck,

dknoppix,

did as you instructed, however, when I clicked start and typed "cmd" into the run type it froze...I then tried to enter your instructions in the "cmd" through "safe mode with command prompts"...it then said that "taskkill" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file...are there any other ways to access it? :(

Ok...lets try this:

Download http://www.atribune.org/downloads/csvun.zip, and unzip it to your desktop using Winzip or a simliar program (If you don't have winzip, just unzip them on another computer, and just copy the files over)

After you have unziped them, run csvun.bat.

Now, please RIGHT-CLICK HERE to download Silent Runner's.

  • Save it to the desktop.
  • Run Silent Runner's by doubleclicking the "Silent Runners" icon on your desktop.
  • You will receive a prompt:
    • Do you want to skip supplementary searches?
      click NO

    [*]You will see a text file appear on the desktop - it's not done, let it run (it won't appear to be doing anything!)

    [*]Once you receive the prompt All Done!, open the text file on the desktop, copy that entire log, and paste it here in your next post.

Hi,

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:

http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

When your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, HijackThis will launch. Please click Scan, and check the following items:

Click Fix Checked. Close HijackThis, and click OK to proceed.

At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.

Finally, please post the contents of the logfile C:\fixwareout\report.txt, along with a new HijackThis log.

download Brute Force Unistaller at www.merijn.com

-should I do this? Please advise

dk,

--I cannot run anything is normal mode...as the desktop icons do not even come up on the screen and it freezes as soon as the actual desktop appears...I tried to follow your instructions in safe mode by running BFU then fixwareout but as usual it only lets me start to run BFU then it freezes and I can't even try to run fixwareout...very frustrating...are we running out of options??? :(:(

So it's on your desktop now? If it's not please download it to your desktop!

  • Restart the computer.
  • As soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the (Safe Mode with) Command Prompt menu item.
  • Press the Enter key.

xpmenu.gif

Probably you will see this: C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\SHANE DANKWORTH

If not type: CD DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS then hit enter and type: CD SHANE DANKWORT and hit enter again.

Now you'll be in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\SHANE DANKWORTH

Type: CD DESKTOP and hit enter.

Type: COPY bfu.zip C:\fixwareout\SUB and hit enter.

Then you can exit the command prompt by typing: EXIT

Then try the wareoutfix again!

Scan again with HijackThis and check the following items:

O3 - Toolbar: AOL Toolbar - {4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C} - C:\Program Files\AOL Toolbar\toolbar.dll (file missing)

After checking these items, close all browser windows except HijackThis and click "Fix checked".

Then reboot your computer and post a fresh HJT log!

-----------------------------

09 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)

Did you installed WeatherBug yourself?

Are you able to run your computer in normal mode again?

- no I did not install Weather Bug and I would hopefully like to remove all traces of AOL as well...Unfortunately I still cannot run in normal mode as the desktop icons still do not come up, and it still freezes immediately...even in safe mode, it seems to have defaulted back to what it was doing before we fixed with fixwareout yesterday...here is the fresh hijack this log....thanks

Step #1

Scan again with HijackThis and check the following items:

O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)

O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.aol.com

After checking these items, close all browser windows except HijackThis and click "Fix checked".

Step #2

We need to make sure all hidden files are showing so please:

  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • Select the View tab.
  • Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
  • Uncheck the Hide file extensions for known types option.
  • Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.

Step #3

Reboot Your System in Safe Mode:

  • Restart the computer.
  • As soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the Safe Mode menu item.
  • Press the Enter key.

Step #4

Find and delete these files and folders (if they are still there):

C:\Program Files\AWS <= this folder

Step #5

  • Restart the computer.
  • As soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the (Safe Mode with) Command Prompt menu item.
  • Press the Enter key.

Step #6

At the prompt type sfc /scannow Please note that there is a single space between sfc and /scannow.

Typing this will start the program, and a box should appear telling you how much longer the process should take.

Sometimes the scan will prompt you for your Windows XP disc upon starting the scan. if this happens please make sure that you can view protected files:

  • My Computer
    Tools
    Folder Options
    View
    "Uncheck" Hide protected operating system files.

Then rerun the scan. If this still asks you to put in your windows XP CD, and you do not have the CD (If you bought it preinstalled) post back for more tips, otherwise enter Windows CD.

Once the scan is complete:

Check your Windows Updates! After using the File Protection Service, you might need to reapply some updates.

Please reboot, and let me know if anything has changed.

Also, please rehide the protected files:

  • My Computer
    Tools
    Folder Options
    View
    "Check" Hide protected operating system files.
