\\globalroot\systemroot\svchost.exe Constant Malicious Url Blocked

Hi, I am having constant malicious url block for a 2 days, all from this process: \.\globalroot\systemroot\svchost.exe

I don’t know if this is relevant or will help, but I had a BSOD to the point where I couldn’t run my computer in safe mode without it restarting over and over again. I had my laptop re installed with windows 7, everything was deleted. However I now get messages of low disk space, when I thought everything was started from fresh. I started to get the BSOD again, downloaded avast, and now everything is fine, except for the malicious url blocked message appearing.

Thanks for your time and any help if greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Thank you for the quick reply :smiley: and sorry about posting the extras twice

So dowloaded the tdsskiller, but this message appears:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you’re running. Check your computer’s system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

I checked the system type, it says 64-bit operating system

OK that is naughty of the malware stopping my programmes so…

[*] Download RogueKiller and save it on your desktop.
[*]Quit all programs
[*] Start RogueKiller.exe.
[*] Wait until Prescan has finished …
[*] Click on Scan

[*]The report has been created on the desktop.

Please post: All RKreport.txt text files located on your desktop.

Attached are the reports

And I do not see the malicious block up anymore, thank you so much! :slight_smile:

Still there, could you now retry TDSSKiller please. If it fails then

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
[*]Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Sorry I forgot to say that after the reboot, a window came up saying: windows created a temporary paging file on your computer because of a problem that occurred with your paging file configuration when you started your computer. The total paging file size for all disk drives may be somewhat larger than the size you specified.

And then goes to performance options window with processor scheduling and Virtual Memory

And thanks again for your help :slight_smile:

There should be a TDSSKiller log at C:\TDSSkiller date time

Could you attach that

Yes here they are attached

OK lets get the last bit

Re-run TDSSKiller and when you see the following select delete:

\Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System )

As soon as TDSSKiller starts moving it Avast will start screaming but ignore it

Once done could you let me know of any remaining problems

Yes, I did what you said and deleted it, I attached the log report in case

It seems like everything is working well :smiley:

I am not sure if this is related, but the only problem that remains is that the local disk drive space is very low, up to 6.14 MB free of 14.6 GB…but I had this problem originally right after I had to re-install windows 7 again.

Again, I appreciate all your help with this

OK could you now attach the original OTL log please ;D

Yes here is the original

Ooops the extras again ;D

[*]Run OTL.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/OTL_Main_Tutorial.gif

[*]Select All Users
[*]Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
netsvcs
%SYSTEMDRIVE%*.exe
/md5start
services.*
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
qmgr.dll
/md5stop
%systemdrive%$Recycle.Bin|@;true;true;true
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BITS /s
CREATERESTOREPOINT

[*]Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
[]There will just be one log .
[
]Attach the log

ahh sorry about that ;D

here it is

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

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

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Remove ComboFix

[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall (Notice the space between the “x” and “/”) then click OK

http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee362/Essexboy3/Misc%20screen%20shots/CF_Uninstall-1.jpg

[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[
]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

[*]Go to control panel
[*]Select folder options (Appearance > Folder options in category view)
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[
]Click OK.

SPRING CLEAN

To manually create a new Restore Point

[*]Go to Control Panel and select System
[*]Select System
[*]On the left select System Protection and accept the warning if you get one
[*]Select System Protection Tab
[*]Select Create at the bottom
[*]Type in a name i.e. Clean
[*]Select Create

Now we can purge the infected ones

[*]GoStart > All programs > Accessories > system tools
[*]Right click Disc cleanup and select run as administrator
[*]Select Your main drive and accept the warning if you get one
[*]For a few moments the system will make some calculations
[*]Select the More Options tab
[*]In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
[*]Select Delete on the pop up
[]Select OK
[
]Select Delete

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

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

[*]Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?

Keep safe :wave:

Thank you so much for all your help!! Greatly appreciated ;D

The only thing is, sorry to bother you, but when I got up to the manually create systems restore point, it says that the restore point could not be created because of insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or other shadow copy data…please try again :-[

59.9 MB free of 14.6 GB is what i have as of now
