Hello everyone…I am a new member in this forum and i want a help to get rid of this virus(Win32:TratBHO)…I know that there are already topics about this virus…avast keep alerting me about this malware but i can’t move it to chest nor delete it…there about 40(so far) different dll files in system 32 infected with this but when i make a deep scan,avast does not find anything…if anyone can help, i would appreciate it…thank you
Can you follow the general cleaning procedure first?
- Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
- Clean your temporary files.
- Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
- Use SUPERantispyware and/or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
- Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest avast! antirootkit or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.
- Make a HijackThis log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner log to to on-line analysis.
- Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster or Windows Advanced Care.
- Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector.
I am working in these steps thank you…can i post the HJT log here?
Yes you can (if it does not fit into one single post, divide it into two).
I am done!!avast,spyware terminator didn’tfind anything and here is the log of HJT:

Can you help me about these files?I cant find them…the other(pmnkljg.dll) has a “score” 23/32…
Follow the steps posted in #1 first.
I do…secunia software inspector find that i dont have the latest version of sun java but nothing else…
Uninstall old Java versions.
Download the latest one and install.
Did you run avast at boot time? Does it return clean?
All clear…avast did’nt find something…
This file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\pmnkljg.dll seems to be infected and not detected by avast.
Can you send the samples to virus@avast.com ?
You can zip and password the files… Inform a link to this thread and the password used.
You can send the files to Chest and, from there, resend to Alwil for analysis.
Thanks.
You can move this file to Chest, right click the ‘a’ blue icon and choose Chest. Go to User folder and right click the Chest to Add the file there. Delete it from the original place.
The sample of what?
Hi sgt.peterman,
Read this: http://www.tweakhound.com/xp/security/page_1.htm
pmnkljg.dll is a symptom of a virtumonde infection.
Removal: http://www.virtumonde.net/virtumonderemoval/Virtumonde_Removal.html
polonus
The file itself. You’ve said it was not detected by avast, so sending it (as a sample) it will be analyzed and the virus database could be updated, improving avast detection.
Hi polonus…I am going to try to remove following the link…you will hear from me soon…
Yes you have a vundo infection. Give the link a shot, if no joy then we’ll try a different tool.
This line is OK

It is vitally important that combofix is renamed before it is even started to download
Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.
Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop
[*]If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:
-Tools->Options->Main tab
-Set to “Always ask me where to Save the files”.
[*]During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii277/sUBs_/combofix/CF_download_FF.gif
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii277/sUBs_/combofix/CF_download_rename.gif
[]It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
[]Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
[]Close any open browsers.
[]Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix
[*]Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause “unpredictable results”.
[*]Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don’t know how to disable it, please ask.
[*]Close any open browsers.
[*]WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
[]Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
[]If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
[*]Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
[*]When finished, it will produce a report for you.
[*]Please post the “C:\ComboFix.txt” along with a new HijackThis log for further review.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix’s window while it’s running. That may cause it to stall
