Help with Win32:Trojano-213

Hello all,

I have a fairly common problem. My computer is infected with Trojano-213. Despite attempts to get rid of it it appears daily. I have recently run the following programs (all are upto date with the latest patches/downloads:

a-squared
spybot search and destroy
adaware
Avast boot time scan (deleted infected files: 2_0_1browserhelper2.dll, unstsa2.exe, Installer2.exe)

Subsequent to this I have run Hijackthis. The log follows and is also attached. My OS is Win 2000 Prof with all SPs and updates.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I have already spent hours trying to sort this out.

Thanks in advance.

Duckula

Hi, welcome to the forums.

It would be helpful to know the following:
- avast! version and VPS file (virus database) number, e.g. 0436-4 (see about avast!)
- What was the virus name, what was the filename, where was it found
example (C:\windows\system32\infected-filename.xxx)?
- What actions have you taken to try and resolve the problem?
Also see this thread for further information and advice User’s FAQ.

Your hijackthis is not the latest version.

A visit to Eddy’s HiJackThis Info and Analysis page, HiJackThis log file analyzer and follow the directions there and get back to us if you need more help…

There you can get the latest version of hijackthis plus his analysis tool which will help you with what to fix, etc.

This thread should also help General Advice & Tools for virus/trojan/malware removal

Thanks for the response.

Since my initial post I have got the lastest version of hijackthis and gone to hijackthis.de and used the analyser. All identified nasty stuff has been fixed using hijack this. Time will tell if the trojan will show up again tomorrow. It seems to reincarnate itself every 24 hours or so. Should it return, then I’ll try this forum again. Meanwhile I think I have learned some useful things from this forum regarding sorting out this kind of problem.

Hi

I am still struggling with Win32:Trojan0-213[trj]. The file identifiesd by avast is C:/Temp/Installer2.exe. This file returns daily at about the same time in the evenign!

My most recent action was to start in safe mode and delete all temp files. I wasn’t sure if this included files in folders such as AU_Temp and others similarly named. I am guessing that any file in such a folder is not entirely necessary. I also switched on so I could see and delete invisible files. I have done my best to follow all of the general instructions I have found on this site.

Here is my latest Hijackthis file - which according to hijackthis.de is returning almost exclusively ‘safe’ items.

Any further suggestions would be welcomed. This thing seems difficult to beat.

Hi Everyone

Just a note to say I have ridded my machine of the trojan. Thanks to Eddy and his suggestions. Here are the things I did that seemed to result in eventual success:

Run Avast at boot up.
Start in safe mode
Empty all Temp files (see link at bottom of Eddy’s posts)
run hijack this and delete all unknown or unsafe processes (analyse results at www.hijackthis.de)
Finally I downloaded a program called spysubtract - which has a 30 day trial - and ran it.

So far the trojan has not shown up again (it was doing so every 24 hours). I have also ran the following programs on my system:

Adaware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Housecall (online virus scanner)
a-squared (another spy/ad remover)
Note that all were up to date versions but did not seem to remove the offending trojan.

It feels great to have a clean machine - so all of you out there fighting to get rid of various annoyances - take heart that it can be done (I spent a good 4-5 hours before getting rid of this trojan). And again big kudos to Eddy.

Hi,

I’m not very good with computers, every 24 hours or so im getting
a virus coming through called Win32:Trojano-213 [Trj]
Its in a folder called TEMP, i have tried running a few programes to get shot of it
but it just dont go.
Is there any easy way off getting rid of this? I run Avast and Spybot and
it doesn’t get rid of it
Has anyone got any suggestions how i can get rid of this, please keep it simple
I am hopless with computers
Thanks
Lee

Also please can you tell me what this Virus can do… Like what damage it causes… Thanks :slight_smile:

Have you not tried to follow the information contained in this thread (my first post, etc.)?

Please Help us to Help you In order to help fully we need more information…
- What OS are you using? is it up to date?
- avast! version and VPS file (virus database) number, e.g. 0436-4 (see about avast!)
- What was the virus name, what was the filename, where was it found
example (C:\windows\system32\infected-filename.xxx)?
- What actions have you taken to try and resolve the problem?
Also see this thread for further information and advice User’s FAQ.

This is an ADWARE, which changes your IE Search-behaviour:
“Adware.BlazeFind installs itself as a Browser Helper Object and redirects search queries”

->INFO<-
→ follow the red links to Mcafee & Symantec for Info;
Trendmicro should also give removal instructions

& work through above advice

P.S.:
Try this first: Removal using the adware’s uninstaller
As this is written, the publisher of this adware, BlazeFind, has instructions on how to uninstall their product using the Windows Add/Remove programs utility. Although it has not been confirmed by Security Response that this will work in all cases, this should be tried first. (If this does not work, or if you simply want to be absolutely sure, you can go on to the Manual removal instructions that follow).

Currently, BlazeFind has uninstall instructions at:

http://blazefind.com/?section=help

(See steps 7 and 8).
:wink:

First of All Here is my SysInfo:

Windows 2000 Pro SP4 with IE 6.0.2800.1106
According to the Windows Update site I have all Critical Service Packs & Updates

I have Avast! v4.5 running all access scanners and automaticly updating daily
Database version is 0502-2 My last VRDB was 1-9-2005 - This has been installed for months
updating religeously and still I seem to get these virus slipping by…?

Also SpyBot S&D v1.3 Latest detection Update of 1-6-2005
I recently downloaded Hyjakthis v1.99.0 and created a logfile to post for you…
