Infected, help me Obi Wan Kenobi!

I was surfing some sites when suddenly my comp started lagging incredibly, I think Java started to run and Norton said it caught a virus, then my comp restarted out of nowhere. Now when I log into my normal account, Norton goes crazy and tells me its catching a virus every other second, but when I log into another account it seems ok. Trend Housecall said I have the Adware_180solutions and adware_need2find viruses, but was unable to delete them.

Here is the hijack this log, thanks in advance for any help!

http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner
Note: You will need to use Internet Explorer for this scan.

• Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
• Click Start
• When asked, allow the activex control to install
• Disable your current Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notfication Tray icon near the clock.
• Click Start
• Make sure that the option "Remove found threats" is Un-checked, and the option "Scan unwanted applications" is checked
• Click Scan
• Wait for the scan to finish
• Re-enable your Anvirisus software.
• A logfile is created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please include this on your post.

Step 5:
Run HijackThis and post the following:

• The virustotal results
• The NOD32 scan results
• The new HijackThis log

Also let me know how your computer is running.

Things seem to be running normally, thanks a lot!

I could not run the Virustotal you requested because the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\vpdtofhs.sys does not appear to be on my computer any longer?

And for some reason http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner will not work! I tell it to allow the activex, and I install the software Onlinescanner.cab, but nothing happens! All I see is a red 'x'. I am using Internet Explorer 7.

Also I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but should I install a new version of Java?

Sorry about that, the latest Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) can be downloaded here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp It's the first download on the page.

I would like to have a quick look to make sure there is nothing else to be worried about on your computer so we can use a different scanner. Kaspersky requires Java to be installed.

• Click on Save ... to save a log.
• Copy and paste in Gmer.txt and click Save.
• Close Gmer.

If you receive no notice, click on the Scan button.

• It will start scanning again.
• When done, click on Save ... to save a log.
• Copy and paste in Gmer.txt and click Save.
• Close Gmer.

Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.


Step 2:
Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

1. Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
2. It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
3. When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
4. Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
   Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
   Archives
   Mail databases
5. Click on My Computer under Scan.
6. Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.

Unfortunately things seem to be taking a turn for the worst.

I'm afraid I have unpleasant news for you. You have a Very Dangerous infection on this machine.
The infection is delivered by Troj/Zapchas-AN
It allows outsiders COMPLETE access to every keystroke, account, and password you use while on this machine, and complete access to any other data present...
IF this computer has been used for any kind of important data, my best recommendation is to Disconnect from Internet, Re-Format the entire drive and re-install your Operating system and Applications.

We can likely clean the infected files off the computer, and if you wish we will attempt to do so, but we cannot be sure that the infection didn't do something to your system to reduce the system security. In that instance, even after removal of the infection, you could be subject to another attack or takeover as soon as you re-connect to the Internet.

The Decision Whether to ReFormat or Not should be based on:

• The use of the computer - this is the primary factor in the decision whether to re-format and re-install, or just disinfect.
• The variety of malware - this influences the decision on whether to re-format and re-install, or just disinfect. IN THIS CASE we have a Backdoor.IRC, the worst kind.

If the Computer has been used for any important data, you are strongly advised to do the following, immediately:

• Disconnect the infected computer from the internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.
• Back up all important data on the machine. Do not back up any Applications (programs). Those should be re-installed from the original source CDs or websites.
• If you have ever used this computer for shopping, banking, or any transactions relating to your financial well being:
  Call all of your banks, credit card companies, and financial institutions, informing them that you may be a victim of identity theft, and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.
• From a clean computer, change ALL your online passwords -- for ISP login, email, banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, and any online forums or groups you belong to.
• DO NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new password and transaction information.
• Take any other steps you think appropriate for an attempted identity theft.
• Please read this for more information: How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

While you are deciding whether to ReFormat and Re-Install, a useful link is here: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063
Please let me know what you decide.

That's what I was afraid of. Well I'm going to have to reformat then. Thank you very much for your help, I'm amazed that so many people are so generous with their time and knowledge on this forum.

You're making the right derision in reformatting, here is a few tips and programs to help reinfection when you get back up and running.


Please take the time to tell us what you would like to be done about the people who are behind all the problems you have had. We can only get something done about this if the people that we help, like you, are prepared to complain. We have a dedicated forum for collecting these complaints Malware Complaints, you need to be registered to post as unfortunately we were hit with too many spam posting to allow guest posting to continue just find your country room and register your complaint.

Below are some steps to follow in order to dramatically lower the chances of reinfection
You may have already implemented some of the steps below, however you should follow any steps that you have not already implemented

• Download and install an antivirus program, and make sure that you keep it updated
  New viruses come out every minute, so it is essential that you have the latest signatures for your antivirus program to provide you with the best possible protection from malicious software
  Two good antivirus programs free for non-commercial home use are Avast and Antivir
  Two good paid for antivirus programs are NOD32 and Kaspersky
  Note: You should only have one antivirus installed at a time. Having more than one antivirus program installed at once is likely to cause conflicts and may well decrease your overall protection level. It may also impair the performance of your PC.
• Make sure you install all the security updates for Windows, Internet explorer & Microsoft Office
  Whenever a security problem in its software is found, Microsoft will usually create a patch for it to that after the patch is installed, attackers can't use the vulnerability to install malicious software on your PC, so keeping up with these patches will help to prevent malicious software being installed on your PC
  Go here to check for & install updates to Microsoft applications
  Note: The update process uses activex, so you will need to use internet explorer for it, and allow the activex control that it wants to install
• Keep your non-Microsoft applications updated as well
  Microsoft isn't the only company whose products can contain security vulnerabilities, to check for other vulnerable programs running on your PC that are in need of an update, you can use the Secunia Software Inspector - I suggest that you run it at least once a month
• Make Internet Explorer more secure
  Click Start > Run
  Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
  Click on the Security tab
  Click Reset all zones to default level
  Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
  In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
  Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
• Install a Hosts File
  I recommend MVPS Hosts File
  Every version of windows includes a hosts file as part of them. A hosts file is a bit like a phone book, it points to the actual numeric address (i.e. the IP address) from the human friendly name of a website. This feature can be used to block malicious websites
  On some PCs, having a custom HOSTS file installed can cause a significant slowdown. Following these instructions should resolve the issue
  
  • Click Start > Run
  • Type services.msc & click OK
  • In the list, find the service called DNS Client & double click on it.
  • On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  • Click OK & then close the Services window
  For a more detailed explanation of the HOSTS file, click here
• Download and install the free version of WinPatrol. This program protects your computer in a variety of ways and will work well with your existing security software. Have a look at this tutorial to help you get started with the program. If you want to help the developer of the program and get more information about what the programs that you see in Winpatrol please check out Winpatrol Plus. It does not need a new download.
• Install Malwarebytes & update and scan with it regularly
  Malwarebytes is a free for personal use on demand scanner which is developed by active members of the Malware Removal community. It detects and removes many modern infections. The paid version offers realtime protection.
• The last and most important thing I can tell you is UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE.
  If you don't update your security programs (Antivirus, Antispyware, even Windows) then you are at risk.
  Malware changes on a day to day basis. You should update every week at the very least.

Miekiemoes an expert in malware removal has a fantastic article on how to prevent Malware for further tips, it's well worth a read. http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/prevention.html
