Media Center>The Official Malware/Antivirus Thread - Need help or general advice? Read this first!
Bearcat 12:28 AM 08-18-2010
This thread provides information on malware removal, links to malware removal tools, and recommendations & links to anti-virus software. The intention of this thread is to provide quick and accurate support for malware-related issues and questions.

Many people here are willing to provide assistance if you're having computer problems, and this thread is not meant to discourage people from asking for help.... but, please read the information provided first, or else there's a good chance you'll be sent here, here, or here . We aren't Geek Squad, so while we won't grossly overcharge you for information and advice, we also aren't responsible for anything you do to your computer.

Also, feel free to make suggestions on the content of this post, and I'll try to keep it up to date.

Research

A lot of information can be found at this EliteKiller link, including...

Malware Removal

If you think your computer is infected, the EliteKiller link provides a thorough solution. Simply put...

Step 3 unzip the Kit, read the instruction file and run the tools in the order given.

Step 4 Thank me in about 3 hours for fixing your shit.

The Rogue Removal Kit is is a zipped file that includes malwarebytes, CCleaner (a registry cleaner that will also delete temporary files), Combofix, Hitman Pro, and HiJackThis (HiJackThis is optional, see below). The instructions guide you through running these tools in Safe Mode With Networking; then running malwarebytes and an online scanner in Normal Mode.

Some people don't recommend running Combofix unless you're fairly certain you need to use it, but I've never heard of people having major problems with it. Here's a list of symptoms to Vundo infections, which may help determine if you need to run Combofix. You can also look here to see instructions with screenshots on how to use Combofix.

Taken from the readme in the Rogue Removal Kit:

Quality Online Virus Scanners: (all scanners offer detection and removal)

F-Secure
NOD32
Bitdefender

Quality Free Anti-Virus Software:

Panda Cloud
Microsoft Security Essentials
Antivir
Avast!
AVG


My two cents on downloading anti-malware software...

Other Helpful Tips & Tools

Rkill will kill processes that may be preventing scanners from completely removing malware.

To get into Safe Mode With Networking, press F8 every couple of seconds while the computer is starting (before the Windows splash screen). If you see the Windows splash screen, you will need to try again. The safe thing to do is log into Windows, restart, and try pressing F8 several times before seeing the Windows splash screen. Alternatively, my advice that falls into the category of “what I'd do if it was my own computer, but wouldn't tell someone to do it if I worked in tech support” would be, if you didn't get into Safe Mode the first time and you're at the Windows splash screen, hold down the power button until the computer turns off. When you start the computer again, it should automatically ask you if you want to go into Safe Mode With Networking.

If you get a Blue Screen of Death after selecting Safe Mode With Networking, read the following posts on how to fix it:
http://blog.didierstevens.com/2006/06/22/save-safeboot/
http://blog.didierstevens.com/2006/0...ring-safeboot/
http://blog.didierstevens.com/2007/0...th-a-reg-file/


Still infected, or just want to make sure everything is okay?

HiJackThis is a tool that will create a log file that can be analyzed by geeks to see what is running on your computer. Install and run HiJackThis (preferably in Safe Mode With Networking), and select 'Do a system scan and save a log file'. You can then copy/paste the output to this thread, and with any luck, someone will stop by and let you know what you can delete. You can then checkmark the items in HiJackThis and click 'Fixed checked'.

If you don't get a quick response here or would rather do it yourself, you can also go to http://hijackthis.de/, which is an online analyzer for your HiJackThis log. Simply copy and paste the log into the text box and click the Analyze button. During my testing of the site, I found it wasn't perfect, especially when a proxy was setup (the visitor rating would be 'extremely nasty', but the site itself would say it was safe)... but, it's at least a good tool that can significantly shorten the time it takes to analyze the log, and it gives you an idea of which entries you can delete or at least Google/post here for further research.

You can also look at the responses to HiJackThis posts in this thread to get an idea of what is safe and what should be removed.


Windows Performance

A good starting point to knowing what processes and services are running on your computer is a HiJackThis log. There's also a lot of information that's only a Google search away.

To manage the process that start when Windows starts, use msconfig (Start button -> Run... -> msconfig -> Startup tab). This is a good resource on startup processes, and it includes a large database of startup processes with information on whether they're required to run Windows or if it's okay to uncheck them. You basically want processes that are in c:\Windows checked, and you can generally uncheck processes in c:\program files (but there are exceptions, like your antivirus), but do some research (Google, the provided links, this thread) if you're not sure. Adobe, Apple (including qttask, Boujour, AppleUpdater, etc), and any messenger program (unless you have it sign you in at startup) are always the first ones to get unchecked on my computer.

Services can be a little tougher to manage, because it's usually a much longer list, and it's not as simple as flipping them on or off. This is a great resource for managing Windows services (Start button -> Run... -> services.msc). Simply choose your version of Windows and then click on the Service Configuration link. It presents the default setup, a safe setup (what most people can use without any consequences), a tweaked setup for faster startup, and a bare bones setup for the super geek. There's also a Tweaks page for stuff like Adding/Removing programs and System Restore.

ThaVirus 07:04 PM 01-23-2013
My computer caught a virus, probably about 2 years ago now, that I was able to get rid of with help from this thread (THANKS, DUDES!). Since then, I've been running with no anti-virus protection whatsoever but I'm thinking maybe my computer is running from safe mode. I honestly have no idea what that even means, but heard about it one time and its the only reason I can think of that my comp hasn't crashed from another virus yet..

Anyway, what are some good, preferably free anti-virus options?

I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials on my Windows box and have been pleased. Haven't really tried to hit it with the major attack platforms that support AV circumvention though.

Generally (as you've seen me say before) I find AV to be snake oil and think multiple backups are more important than AV. That way if you get popped, you reinstall Windows and move along with your day.

+1 for MSE. Avast and AVG are still out there as the old standby's, but I haven't found either of them to be as lightweight and effective as MSE.

(But yeah, back your shit up.)

I find Avast to still be the least resource-intensive AV out there. That's why I still use it over MSE.

As far as I'm concerned, AVG isn't even in the discussion anymore.

That's what my work uses. I've used the uninstaller in safe mode before. It's the ONLY way to get rid of it.

Hell, I HAD to boot into safe mode because Norton has it's own device drivers and said drivers were causing BSODs.

no clue if this a virus or just a computer problem

i can't get any programs to launch...pulled up task manager, and where I would normally have 50 processes I had only 6 or 7...

i'm in safe mode w/ networking now, i'm running malwarebytes but so far nothing...anyone experience this

i found this on the web, pretty close to what i'm experiencing...

That worked, so I put off researching the problem until I had more time. Then, a few days later, a new update came down that installed itself. In addition, it threw away the previous Restore Point. So, no going back, now. I limped along like that for a few days. Then, for no reason I can find, for two boots it worked perfectly. Tonight, another update, and it's back to not working. That's where I'm at now.

Running the programs manually works. No UAC warnings or anything like that.

In addition to none of the programs in my Startup folder starting, when I bring up the Task Manager immediately after a boot, only about 15 processes are running. Normally, there's more than a screen-full. So, I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of other things that are not getting fired off, too.

this guy hasn't found a solution

Have you checked the syslog? It's possible you had a key service fail to load, which would result in all of the dependent child services not loading.

thanks

i ended up taking it in to a shop...i figured maybe it was my hard drive, but their initial diagnostic said my hardware is fine

i'm guessing you're close to the problem...but it's beyond my skill set to fix

Help. Windows says Win32\Small.CA, as known virus, has caused my PC to stop working properly at least 1 time, most recently a few days ago. Avast scan does not detect this file. Any suggestions?

I don't see anything that looks suspicious. There's several things running that don't need to be, that could be cleaned up. But nothing malicious. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

HP autorun software, Canon autorun software, Coupons.com couponbar software, Microsoft Groove, etc. could all be removed from running automatically.
