Darn
I typed up a reply and did not click send
HJT is out of date should be ver 2.02
however I did not see anything major in it
SAS seems to have done it’s job however many new definitions today which target your problem
ditto with Spybot Search and Destroy
this infection runs out of temp in memory unless you click on it and as you said clicking the x could be bad
reboot removes from memory - but eventually we want to prevent it
yesterday was ms patch day so today is a good day to run secunia software inspector and get up to date
updated flash and java are a must
Run the MAlware Bytes Anti Malware free update and run the quick scan
check any baddies
then click REMOVE CHECKED

more detailed instructions from DavidR
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware freeware version http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/malwarebytes/mbam-setup.exe, right click on the link and select Save As or Save File (As depending on your browser), save it to a location where you can find it easily later. Also Try this tool, RogueRemover, available here http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover.php
when you get time update SAS and run it again
also a tip from DavidR – unhide files and folders
The file should still be there in safe mode it it if present in normal mode, but may be hidden.
- Ensure that you have SHOW hidden files and folders enabled
and
disable hide system files in Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, Hidden files and folders
post log
If you have time download install SPybot SEarch and destroy- get the real one from safernetworking
update, immunize and run a scan send any hits to quarantine
post up any logs you get by later today with a fresh HJT and I’ll take a deeper look at it
there was one item tt4 something if you can scan down and find it -do you know what it is?
This threat is fast evolving as are the fixes
another poster just found something with the latest SAS that MBAM had missed *or it could have been new) and another one found something with HDFIX that all of the above had missed
After we have the current infection under control here is the long range plan
run any of the scans currently planned but not yet done SBS&D, SAS, MBAM
run an on line AV scan if we are still finding things if not then Kaspersky again to see if whatever it found is gone
RUN SDFIX _which also checks for rootkits another way
then get the prevention in order
Install spywareblaster if you do not have it
Hosts file
clean up
defrag
new restore points
I’ll look at the kaspersky when I get back but going to virus total and uploading the file could not hurt
DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET
you could click the ANalyze this button but do not DO ANYTHING- just ask questions
YOu can NUKE your whole system easily with HJT
THis this thing is polymorphic so the id’s change
if you update avast and run an AVast scan right before or after the next HJT -well let’s see if everythings gone
ps that’s why we are going to run SDFIX once we id any other problems lurking - gotta get the fire knocked down first
Changing passwords is always a good idea but your files in general should be fine
