Win32-Patched-AKC [Trj]

system · September 9, 2012, 1:04am

Hi,
when running a scan I got a threat that could not be removed.
File name: C:\Windows\System32\services.exe
Severity: High
Status: Threat: Win32-Patched-AKC [Trj]
Action: Move to chest
Result: The specified file is read only (6009)

I guess the problem is that it’s in a System32 file which means it could harm the system to remove it. So how can I remove it?

I also keep getting popups saying Malware Blocked and sometimes also a trojan horse has been blocked.
I usually get about 3-5 of these messages quickly in a row.
Malware blocked:
Object: C:\Windows\Installer.…(000000cb.@/80000064.@/80000000.@)
Infection: Win32:(Malware-gen/Win32:Trojan-gen)
Action: Moved to chest
Process: C:\Windows\System32\services.exe

Trojan horse blocked:
Object: C:\Windows\Installer.…\80000032.@
Infection:Win32:ZAcces-IJ[Trj]
Action: Moved to chest
Process: C:\Windows\System32\services.exe

Hi,
I will be working on your Malware issues

Download TDSSKiller and save it to your desktop

Execute [b]TDSSKiller.exe[/b] by doubleclicking on it.

[*] Press Start Scan

[*] If Suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
[*] If Malicious objects are found, select Cure.

Once complete, a log will be produced at the root drive which is typically C:\ ,for example, [b]C:\TDSSKiller.<version_date_time>log.txt[/b]

Please post the contents of that log in your next reply.

Step#2

Download ComboFix from here and save it to your Desktop.
If you are unsure how ComboFix works please read this guide carefully.
note: ComboFix must be downloaded to your Desktop.

Temporarily disable your AntiVirus program.
If you are unsure how to do this please read this or this Instruction.

How to disable avast:

Attach log reports ( ComboFix.txt) back to topic.

Hi Magna,

I’ve attached the logs from the both programs.
ComboFix seemed to mess up my computer, making it unable to connect to the internet again.
Tried all possible solutions I could find but solved it with a system restore in the end…

magna86 · September 9, 2012, 1:06pm

Hi,
First, there is no need to run TDSSKiller twice. Or is another TDSSKiller log after system restore?

Secondly…

ComboFix seemed to mess up my computer, making it unable to connect to the internet again. Tried all possible solutions I could find but solved it with a system restore in the end...

Do I understand correctly.
You launched Combofix. This is the log that is attached?
Then you realized you lost your internet connection.
Then you back your system with system restore and is now all working normally?
Do you have pop-ups?
How is your computer basicly running now?
Do you have Quobox folder in C:\ ?

Re-run aswMBR and attach here fresh aswMBR.txt log

Please download Farbar Service Scanner (FSS) and run it on the computer with the issue.

[*] Make sure that all options are checked.
[*] Press “Scan”.
[] It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.
[] Please attach FSS.txt log to your reply.

Re-run OTL.exe.

[*]Copy and paste the following text written inside of the quote box into the Custom Scans/Fixes box.


%systemroot%\*. /mp /s

[*]Then click the Run Scan button at the top.
[*]Let the program run unhindered; it will reboot the system when it is done and open notepad (OTL.txt) with logreport. Attach here that logreport.

When I checked for the TDSSKiller log I had two of them, the second created about 3 minutes after the first. Thought it would be best to attach both of them…

Yes, you understood correctly.
Everything seems to be working normally, I do however keep getting pop-ups.
Can’t find any Quobox folder in C:\

Will do the rest you suggested now.

magna86 · September 9, 2012, 2:14pm

Ok, download fresh TDSSKiller and run again as you did before.
Reboot your computer.
Re-run aswMBR.
Run FSS
Re-run OTL as i instructed above with custom script.
Attach here all logs

How is your computer running now?

system · September 9, 2012, 2:23pm

I just ran TDSSKiller again, and got two logs again created 3 minutes apart.
I’ve attached both of them.

system · September 9, 2012, 2:35pm

aswMBR, FSS and OTL logs attached.

Edit:
My computer seems to be running fine now, no pop-ups so far…

magna86 · September 9, 2012, 3:05pm

Ok, i will give you my reply tonight.

system · September 9, 2012, 3:08pm

Ok, great.
It has now passed 30 minutes since I ran all the programs and still no pop-up.
Thanks!

When trying to run Blitzbank I get an error saying “Syntax error in line 2, invalid file path”.
Seems like the files are not there anymore… If I delete the “Delete File:” path then I don’t get any errors, I haven’t pressed OK yet though as I’ll wait for your reply.

Edit: I do however have 2x desktop.ini in C:\Users\Axel\Desktop(desktop.ini)
