Win32:atraps Trojan Infection - Essexboy remedy

Viruses and worms
1

I have ran the fix in OTL and rebooted. I am at this step:

“Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.”

dont copy and paste logs…attach…or it will take 10 posts with copy an paste

OK I have attached the log.
(it also created a second text file called “Extras” which I havn’t been instructed to post.)

4

attach that also…also attach aswMBR and malwarebytes

see here. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

posted is the attached “extras” text from OTL.

I disabled Avast and I ran combofix.
It ran then did a system reboot.
However when my system rebooted it did not open a log for me.
Combofix began running a scan and after 20 mins it froze.
…I’m thinking it may have been because I did not have Avast disabled that time though.

So I may still need help.

Avast however is no longer displaying any detections of the infection.
So far that gives me the impression that ComboFix was successful although it did not display a log.
I will run malwarebytes now and post a log next.

attached is newest log.

no malicious threats detected.

that is good however i received one alert from Avast during the scan that was about another Trojan infection threat detected but
different from the 2 that I just got rid of. A new one. This one was called rootkit.

now it appears to be gone.

Strange that after reviewing several other posts in this forum about these infections it seems that the 3 all mostly happen together in a cluster like this. The 3 being Win32:atraps and Win64:sirefef followed by the rootkit.

Did I post a fix for this one … Or am I going doolaly

Essexboy, I have used the FIX that you had posted.

No problems detected now. Thanks! :slight_smile:

The only weird thing that happened was I ran some scans just to be sure.
First Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and the result was no items detected.
Second I ran OTL and same. Received good outcome.
Then I moved on to run a scan with aswMBR.exe and as soon as I clicked SCAN my computer crashed. (blue screen)
Upon reloading I was alerted by the Windows Security Alert with a box reading “No Firewall is Turned On”.
I have never seen that happen before. Strange wording too. … is turned on? … IS turned on?

No apparent problems though so perhaps just a strange coincidence as a result of having ran so many scans back to back without reloading.
