Is the virus gone?

Hi,

yesterday my avast notice that I have a virus on my computer. The pop-up said it is win32 trojan-gen {Other}. I did some research on my own, than I deleted some files in safe mode, check the hijackthis! again and there are still some bad files, but I do not know if they are harmless. Until now I am not getting any avast pop-ups any more.

Can someone please check my hijackthis.log and tell me if I am clean now.

Thank you.

Regards, Luka

Welcome to the forums, Luka. :slight_smile:

You have used an old version of HJT which might give incorrect or missing information.

Please download HijackThis from the link below. Do not download HJT to the desktop but instead download it into it’s own folder on the hard drive.

Run the program but do not make any fixes and then post the log results using the “copy & paste” method. It will probably take more than one post to be able to get the complete log posted.

OR, you can post it as an attachment to your post by clicking on “Additional Options…” below left of the posting box. Someone will review your log and then offer help.

Why do you think the HJT log should be longer?

This one is very bad :

C:\windows\System32\CbEvtSvc.exe

Check if you know this site and fix it if you do not. Unknown ActiveX-Objects, or ActiveX-Objects from unknown sites should always be fixed. If the name of the ActiveX-Object or the URL contains the words ‘dialer’, ‘casino’, ‘free plugin’ etc, it should be fixed! If you know the site then it might be ok.

Hi again,

I did that: [i]To manually remove a Trojan-Downloader:W32/Exchanger infection, perform the following steps:

    • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CbEvtSvc
    • HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\CbEvtSvc - here was no CbEvtSvc file
    • HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\CbEvtSvc

Note: HKLM equals HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
6. Delete the file called CbEvtSvc.exe located in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder,[/i]

than I reboot the comp, but before the windows started there was an autorun fom avast scanning my files I bypass it.

I run the Hijack again, but there was still some bad files:

O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-19..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\System32\CTFMON.EXE (User ‘LOCAL SERVICE’)
O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-20..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\System32\CTFMON.EXE (User ‘NETWORK SERVICE’)
O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-18..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\System32\CTFMON.EXE (User ‘SYSTEM’)
O4 - HKUS.DEFAULT..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\System32\CTFMON.EXE (User ‘Default user’)

so I fix them in Hijack and reboot again.

I hope I am clean now. I thank to you both very, very much for you help.

Below is my new hijacklog, I suppose this is ok now. Can you just confirm that.

Oh Charley, this page: https://edavki.durs.si/PersonalPortal/ is secure.

Thanks again.

In avast! Virus Chest I still have those files:

1003821337.exe as virus Win32:Trojan-gen (other)
1003821337.exe as virus Win32:Trojan-gen (other)
1164787577.exe as virus Win32:Rootkit-gen (Rtk)

for all this files original location is in C:\Documents and settings\LocalService\Application Data

All files are marked with scull and located in Infected files category

I hope there is nothing wrong by having them there or?

I al so thank for that answer.

Luka

Hi Luka,

This looks indeed more like it, just one remark, apparently you have no active software firewall running at your computer. If you connect via a router there will be a hardware firewall there, and you do not need one.
A constant check-up on and securing against intruders for your outgoing network traffic can only be accomplished with an additional software firewall - Microsoft firewalls are only for securing incoming network traffic. Also check for your third party software to have the latest versions and patches: Secunia PSI: http://secunia.com/PSISetup.exe
The files in the chest are secure and can do no further harm, like a person in prison. Leave them there for a fortnight and then delete them, as your system apparently no longer needs them.

pozdravi,

polonus

My windows firewall is active and almost all the time I am connected to internet via router. I will check for some other firewall. I do not know what is this secunia PSI for?

Thank you for all your help once again.

Luka

Luka,

PSI is a tool that runs silently in the background, and now and then you can perform a scan to see if you have updated all vulnerable third party software, important is for instance to have the latest Sun Java version (against infections), your Media Player has the latest version and no holes, and all the patches, PSI looks after all this, and you do not have to update all this manually all the time. They have found only a small percentage of users have a secure bundle of Software on their boxes, PSI at my computer looks that I am protected 100% against software vulnerabilities (theoretically that is),

Damian aka polonus

But is it ok that Secunia PSI and avast run at the same time?

Hi Luka,

Yes, my friend, that is perfectly all right, I have this configuration also for half a year since it became PSI 1.0, and no problem whatsoever, just like with one resident scanner and various non-resident (on demand) scanners, so I have avast together with MBAM and SAS anti-spyware non-resident, sometimes I download the latest version of launch.exe = DrWeb’s CureIt scanner and scan with it, while avast is normally running along.
Two resident scanners on a PC is asking for trouble, because these two resident scanners can find each others signatures up and you get false positives or worse trouble, just like two dogs that should guard your house but start to fight among each other (not good for security). Also Panda on demand and avast seem not to be on friendly terms (because of the signatures of Panda’s). That you ask these questions, means that you have a good understanding and feel for security, welcome to the forums, come here more often and learn to help others,

polonus

Hi,

I already install Secunia Psi and updated 4 programs that needed upgrade. I have now avast, spybot and psi. You think I should have any other non-resident scanner?

Thank you for your informations.

Luka

Hi Iesel,

You can download SuperAntiSpyware from here: http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition is 100% Free and will detect and remove thousands of Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, KeyLoggers, Dialers, Hi-Jackers, and Worms. SUPERAntiSpyware features many unique and powerful technologies and removes spyware threats that other applications fail to remove.
I keep it updated with “Check for Updates” - and do an occasional “Quick Scan”, and you are best advised to do a “Full Scan” the first time after downloading and updating, and then every other month, once every 30 days,

Then you can also download DrWebsCureIt from here: ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/launch.exe
I have put that on a usb stick or as you call it a pen drive, and then scan my computer with it, for a new scan after a day or two you should download the most recent version, delete the old launch.exe and replace it with this more recent launch.exe.
I think in that way you have a very good protection, and it will not weigh too heavy on your old CPU,

polonus

:slight_smile: Hi Iesel :

One point about Java ; for security purposes, should ONLY have 1 version,
the latest, on a computer at any moment in time . Installing the latest does
NOT uninstall or remove all the “other” version(s) of this program, so unless
you are sure you do NOT have any other “version(s)/update(s)” of this
program on your computer, it is recommended to run the FREE “JavaRa”
from http://raproducts.org .

Hello.

I can use SUPERAntiSpyware safely, when avast is running? SUPERAntiSpyware is a non-resident scanner?

I downloaded SUPERAntiSpyware and I am now running the full scan. I also downloaded the JavaRa and remove all the old versions of java. Thanks Spiritsongs!

I have one question more Polonus. You`re saying that I run SUPERAntiSpyware once a month and do the scan? Or should I have SUPERAntiSpyware running all the time in my system tray?

Thanks again!

Luka

Hi Luka,

Have it there, the free version is non-resident, all the time in your system tray, that will alert you ONLY if the program needs upgrading, the latest signatures have to be manually downloaded , click Check for Updates, do a full scan (takes some time) after downloading and once a month, for the rest you can do an “on demand” quick scan. I have it there all the time, welcome to the forums again,

pol

:slight_smile: Hi :

We usually recommend NOT having SUPERAntiSpyware running at StartUp ;
IF you would like to do likewise, on the main GUI, click “Preferences” & when
the “General and StartUp” menu appears, “uncheck” the Settings
“Start SUPERAntispyware when Windows starts” and/or “Show
SUPERAntispyware icon in system tray” .

P.S. In addition, you have the unnecessary “Bonjour\mDNSResponder” and should
consider the Info at www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/02/10/how-to-uninstall-or-remove-bonjour-mdnsresponderexe/ and seriously consider
uninstalling it by using the “Removal Instructions” there .
