Please help me get rid of the Antivirus Soft virus on my pc

Unread postby rmartinpsu » February 2nd, 2010, 11:42 pm

I ran malwarebytes and it found 3 infections but as soon as I restarted my pc, the virus kicked back in. I read where I could use HijackThis to find the problem but the scan didn't show any sysguard.exe. I read where someone had said that the creator of this virus change the names. I do not know which ones are the proper ones to delete and don't want to delete the wrong thing. Please look at my HijackThis log and please help me.


Here is the log....

Re: Please help me get rid of the Antivirus Soft virus on my pc

Unread postby Wingman » February 11th, 2010, 5:35 pm

Hi rmartinpsu, Welcome to the forum.
I apologize for the delay getting to your log but the forum is very busy.

My name is Wingman, and I'll be helping you with any malware problems.
The logs I request can take a while to research, so please be patient.

Before we begin...please read and follow these important guidelines, so things will proceed smoothly.
  1. The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!
    Using these instructions on a different computer can cause damage to that computer and possibly render it inoperable!
  2. DO NOT run any other fix or removal tools unless instructed to do so!
  3. DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process. This adds more items to be researched.
  4. Only- post your problem at (1) one help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.
  5. Print each set of instructions...if possible...your Internet connection will not be available during some fix processes.
  6. Only- reply to this thread, do not start another ... Please, continue responding, until I give you the "All Clean"

Please take time to read the Malware Removal Forum Guidelines and Rules where the conditions for receiving help at this forum are explained.
Please read all instructions carefully before executing and perform the steps, in the order given.
lf, you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Vista - Windows 7 Users - Please Note:
The programs I ask you to run need to be installed and run in Administrator Mode by... Right clicking the installation file and the executable program file & selecting: Run as Administrator. Additionally, the built-in User Account Control (UAC) utility, if enabled, may prompt you for permission to run the program. When prompted, please select: Allow. Reference: User Account Control (UAC) and Running as Administrator

I noticed that your log was run Boot mode: Safe mode with network support
Question?: Are you able to start up in normal mode?
If so, please restart your computer normally and proceed with the following steps. Then do not shut down the computer or reboot it unless I ask you. Some malware changes it's file names when rebooted and we want to pin the bad guys down.
If you can not start in normal mode, please post back, and let me know as I'll have to take a different approach.

Question?: Did you set this PROXY Server value:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555

Step 1.
ERUNT - Emergency Recovery Utility NT
Modifying the Registry can create unforeseen problems, so it's always wise to create a backup before doing so.
This is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.
ERUNT utility program
Download:

  1. Please download ERUNT...by Lars Hederer. Save it to your desktop.
  2. Double-click erunt-setup-exe to run the install process. Install ERUNT by following the prompts.
    VISTA/W7 users: right-click erunt-setup-exe, select "Run As Administrator" to run the install process. Install by following prompts.
  3. Use the default install settings... say "NO" to the section that asks you to add ERUNT to the Start-Up folder. You can enable this later.
  4. Start ERUNT either by double clicking on the desktop icon or choosing to start the program at the end of the setup process.
    VISTA/W7 users: right-click the desktop icon, select "Run As Administrator" or start it at the end of the setup process.
  5. Choose a location for the backup. Note: the default location is C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT which is fine.
  6. Make sure the first two check boxes -> (Create ERUNT and NTREGOPT desktop icons) are checked.
  7. Click on OK ... then click on "YES" to create the folder.
Run:
This will create a full backup of your registry... ERUNT can be used to restore the registry from this backup, if needed.
  1. Please navigate to Start >> All Programs >> ERUNT, then double-click ERUNT from the menu.
    Vista/W7 users: right-click on ERUNT in the menu, then select "Run As Administrator". If UAC prompts, please allow it.
  2. Click on OK within the pop-up menu.
  3. In the next menu under C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\DD-MM-YYYY under Backup options make sure both the following are selected:
    • System registry.
    • Current user registry.
  4. Next click on "OK"... at the prompt... reply "Yes".
    After a short duration the Registry backup is complete! pop-up message will appear.
  5. Now click on "OK". A registry backup has now been created.
< STOP > If you did not successfully complete this step. < STOP > Do not continue with any other steps, post back and let me know!

Step 2.
RSIT (Random's System Information Tool)
Please download RSIT by random/random... save it to your desktop.
  1. Right click on RSIT.exe and select "Run As Administrator" to run it. If Windows UAC prompts you, please allow it.
  2. Please read the disclaimer... click on Continue.
  3. RSIT will start running. When done... 2 logs files...will be produced.
    The first one, "log.txt", <<will be maximized... the second one, "info.txt", <<will be minimized.
    These log files can be found in the C:\RSIT folder
  4. Please post both... "log.txt" and "info.txt", file contents in your next reply.

Step 3.
Please include in your next reply:
  1. Any problem executing the instructions?
  2. Answers to Safe Mode and Proxy Server setting, questions.
  3. RSIT log.txt and info.txt file contents.
  4. How is the computer behaving?
Thanks,
Wingman
