Malware Infection - Vundo Variant

[WahooBoyd]

Background:
About a week ago, I appear to have been infected with some sort of malware. After further research, I believe that it may be some variant of the Vundo trojan horse. When I first noticed something was amiss, I found a suspicious process, prunnet.exe, running in task manager (along with two instances of rundll32.exe - not sure if this is/was a problem). I have also experienced: numerous Zone Alarm warnings from programs trying to access the Internet and trusted zone, several pop up windows that appear and then instantly disappear, rerouting of URLs in Firefox, the appearance of a desktop shortcut to some web site (did not use it), among other symptoms.

Actions Taken So Far:
- When started experiencing above symptoms, ran a whole system scan in AVG Free 8.0 > identified 17 infected objects, but the system rebooted before the scan completed. According to AVG scan log: 13 objects moved to Virus Vault, 1 deleted and 3 require reboot to finish the action.

- Reviewed Add/Remove Programs > one entry suspect to me: "Advertisement Service"

-Enabled viewing of system/hidden files

-Ran Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MWMSRT) for Dec 2008 (most recent found on Microsoft site) > found 5 infected items

-Per instructions from MWMSRT, ran another whole system scan with AVG 8.0 > found 1 infected item

-Ran ATF-Cleaner (including Firefox cleaning)

-Installed MB Anti-Malware, ran a full scan and removed all results (there were many)

-Ran ESET Online Scanner with "Scan unwanted applications" selected > found 1 infected item

-Changed name of HiJackThis executable file, and ran HiJackThis scan

-Created Uninstall List with HiJackThis

Current Status:
The laptop now seems to be running better. The desktop Internet shortcut is gone. The "Advertisement Service" item in Add/Remove Programs is gone. I don't get redirected away from my home page when opening Firefox. I have not had any more of the pop up windows since I ran the initial AVG virus scan (perhaps quarantined the portion of this infection causing it).

Unfortunately, the ESET online scan did find one item, and I fear that this thing is not totally eradicated yet.

I would greatly appreciate help determining if I am free of this infection yet, and if not, what I need to do to finish the job. I will post my MBA-M, ESET Online Scanner and HiJackThis logs and the Uninstall List in separate replies to this initial post.

Thanks-
Jeff

Run ESET Scanner again this time have it fix what it finds.
Your java program is WAY,WAY, WAY out of date. Current version is 6 update 11. Go HERE download the Offline Install to your desktop.
Then go into Add/Remove and uninstall ALL the java programs you find there.
Once you have done that then double click that install file to install the newest version. When the install is complete go back to the download page and click on Verify Now to check to be sure the installation was successful.
Reboot and run a new HJT scan, post back here with that new log and the new ESET scanner log.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance (as well as the quick reply)!

Ran the ESET scanner again, and this time checked the option to fix infected items. Again found one item, but said that it could not be repaired. I have attached log below.

Uninstalled two old versions of Java. I hate to have the java updater always running in the background. Therefore, I have had it turned off. Obviously, I have not been remembering to update it like I should (or at all). I guess I will just have to leave the updater active from now on...

Installed Java 6, version 11, and confirmed via Java web site that the installation succeeded and is operating correctly.

Rebooted and reran HJT. Log attached below.

Thanks again for the help!

I don't use the java auto updater either, seems like 9 out of 10 times I never got notification either. I just try to check every week or so.
You need to run HJT again and place check marks next to the following entries;
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {473F4E72-8EC0-4F84-982B-205C5FE7D7D3} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hgGvspQK.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe" (this is the java scheduler. If you want to keep it then don't fix this one)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: ddcCUnmK - ddcCUnmK.dll (file missing)
Once you have placed the check marks then click the Fix Checked button.
Exit HJT.
Reboot and run one more HJT scan and post that new log.
Judy

[WahooBoyd]

Selected the entries specified after running HJT again. Rebooted and ran another HJT log attached below.

I had read somewhere about using Task Scheduler to run \Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jucheck.exe every couple weeks. Maybe I will give that a try instead of leaving the jusched running all of the time...

Thanks again Judy for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

Looks pretty good. Do you everything is working ok? If so you should set a new and now clean Restore Point. Right click My Computer, choose Properties. When System Properties opens click the System Restore Tab. When that opens put a check mark in Turn off System Restore. Click ok. You may get a message that System Restore will turn off, click ok or yes. Allow it to turn off. Wait a moment and then go back in and Remove the check mark to turn it back on. Then you should have a good, clean Restore Point.
If you feel all is resolved then you can mark this one solved.

Judy- My apologies for taking so long to post back. Just to be safe, I wanted to run one more ESET online scan before I replied back. The scan had not finished before I went to bed last night, and this morning I was out early with my family for skiing lessons for the kids. Been on the run ever since.

The laptop seems to be running normally, and the ESET scan found no infected items. Therefore, I went ahead and flushed all old restore points.

I am grateful for your help and am happy to mark this thread as solved. I did have one other quick question. I now have quarantined items in AVG and MBA-M. I'm assuming that I should go ahead and delete those items?

Thanks again... It's encouraging to see people out there willing to offer their time and talents to help others.

Regards-
Jeff

Yes you can clean out those quarantined items. Keep both programs updated and do regular scans with them. Judy

Try running Vundofix?

Thank you for the reply, jbennet.

Given that my laptop seems to be working fine, the HJT log appears clean and a new ESET online scan and MBA-M scan find no infected items, is running Vundofix really necessary at this point?

I'm all for being thorough and cautious, but I also subscribe to the philosophy, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Would I be better served waiting to see if I have any more issues before running Vundofix?

Judy- Because of all the help you have provided me so far, I would also value your opinion regarding Vundofix. Thanks!

Probably best to leave it and see . VundoFix *rarely* causes problems but there is still a risk i suppose. It is very good at finding infections though.

By the way WahooBoyd, i just want to congradulate you on being a great poster :) if every user provided as much information as you it would make everyones lives a lot easier.

And yeah, did you update the Java? Vundo commonly finds its way in through outdated JREs.

Post #7-Installed Java 6, version 11, and confirmed via Java web site that the installation succeeded and is operating correctly.

As far as running VundoFix that really is up to you WahooBoyd. If you feel you would like to check things out once more that is fine. I agree with jbennet concerning your thorough posting, it really makes a huge difference to receive full information.

Think I'll just hold off on Vundofix for now, and see how it goes. Good to have in the "toolbox" in case I need it in the future. Thanks for making me aware of it.

With generous people out here giving freely of their time to help others, the least I can do is try to make the task as easy as possible. I can't thank you enough for your time and help, Judy and jbennet (and not just the help you give me.... I can see how many other people you have assisted as well).

Best wishes for the New Year, and if I can ever be of assistance in return, please let me know.

Jeff
