This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:

system · June 30, 2012, 12:48am

Additional info:
file that keeps getting caught by avast is C:\Windows\Installer{9c374914-9016-4b9b-c068-d105409e58e0}\U\00000008.@ (Trojan.Dropper.BCMiner)

DavidR · June 30, 2012, 1:41am

Stuff like this C:\Windows\Installer{9c374914-9016-4b9b-c068-d105409e58e0}[b]U\00000008.@ /b, The bold text is usually an indication of an underlying rootkit. This is also picked up in the aswMBR avast scan.

05:27:45.828 File: C:\Windows\system32\services.exe **INFECTED** Win32:Sirefef-ZT [Trj] 05:28:05.620 File: C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_32\Desktop.ini **INFECTED** Win32:Sirefef-PL [Rtk] 05:28:07.484 File: C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_64\Desktop.ini **INFECTED** Win32:Sirefef-PL [Rtk]

I believe it is these which are responsible for the other alerts as they try to initiate more malware.

Whilst it is a pain getting the avast alerts like this, it is preventing further infection.

Unfortunately this does need a malware removal specialist (not me) to analyse the OTL logs essexboy who is most active on this will be in bed (2:42a.m. here in the UK and I’m about to call it a night also). So it may be a bit of time unless another specialist from a time zone closer to yours can continue with this.

Sorry I can’t be of more practical help.

Thanks DavidR,
Hopefully I’ll get some help soon.

essexboy · June 30, 2012, 10:23am

This should cure it

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL

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

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/OTL_Fix.GIF

:OTL O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - No CLSID value found. O3 - HKLM\..\Toolbar: (no name) - Locked - No CLSID value found.

C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_64\Desktop.ini

:Commands
[purity]
[resethosts]

[Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

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

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/NSIS_disclaimer_ENG.png

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/NSIS_extraction.png

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

Notes:

Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
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

EssexBoy,

I am in a very similar situation. I was wondering if this fix or a slight variation of this fix would help me as well? Attached is my OTL log, and below are the MBAM and aswMBR logs.

@essexboy,
i haven’t seen anymore avast warnings so it seems to be working fine. OTL log is attached.

essexboy · June 30, 2012, 9:49pm

Nice, if all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up

system · June 30, 2012, 10:01pm

Thank you so much!!! Really glad you were able to help. Those warnings were driving me crazy.

system · July 2, 2012, 2:11am

@essexboy,

I haven’t seen the avast notices all day so I guess that mean success. Is there anything else I need to do?

DavidR · July 2, 2012, 12:03pm

Essexboy will probably give you information on how to remove the tools he used and general advice on your system. But with the time zone differences (13:02 in the UK now) it may be a little time.

essexboy · July 2, 2012, 3:56pm

Subject to no further problems

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

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 ?
