Unhappy Downloaded some sort of virus.
And the worst of it is, it's all my fault. But, though I surely deserve what I'm getting for my stupidity, I'd still like to remove it and fix the damage it's caused... Anyway, I don't know much about this virus, and I'm not exatly sure what all it's done, but I'll tell what happened and hope someone else has an idea. :P

It was in an AIM profile. That is, it was linked to in an AIM profile, with a devious "pics from my trip" title. Which was unfortunate for me, because this profile happened to belong to a pretty girl who actually had just gone on a trip... The "it" in question was an .exe (pics.exe), which should've warned me, but it claimed to be a slideshow and I foolishly trusted it. I downloaded and ran it; nothing much obvious happened. Maybe an hourglass by my mous for a second, but that's about it. It was about then that I began to realize how stupid I'd been... I looked at the rest of the profile:

"www.g00ns.com is the best site ever!"

or something like that. Oh dear; I've seen that site mentioned before. I asked her about it, and nope - she had no idea that that was in her profile. I immediately ran to delete it - no luck, it won't let me. I found a "pics.exe" process running and ended it, scanned with Norton (which found nothing), then went into Safe Mode (with networking, if that makes any difference). In Safe Mode, I deleted it, then searched for "pics" and found and deleted another file entitled "PICS-[number]". It was a "PF" file. I think it was most likely the preview of it that Firefox downloaded, or something like that, but I don't know. I'm not sure how relevant that is, but just in case... anyway, I then ran Adaware (still in Safe Mode), Crap Cleaner, and Panda Activescan (which I went to with Internet Explorer, which was working at this point. It stopped later). Adaware found nothing but tracking cookies, Panda nothing at all, and Crap Cleaner didn't appear to help either. I hoped this had been enough anyway, and restarted into normal mode. (I have XP Professional, SP1.)

Well... the virus or whatever it was apparently had either done its damage, or was still lurking. My computer ran incredibly slowly, unusably so. I tried restarting and doing "Last Known Good Configuration", but it just sent me back to the menu after failing to load Windows. I had no choice, it seemed; had to use Safe Mode, apparently. I went back into Safe Mode and ran Kasparsky Antivirus (which found nothing but quarantined Norton files), then tried to get on AIM to contact a friend of mine who knows a bit more about computers than I. No luck; AIM wouldn't work. It starts up, freezes for a sec, then totally closes. I tried IE to use the TrendMicro online scan, and found that now IE won't work - it is really slow, then crashes within 15 or so seconds.

I'd been using MSN all of this time, but suddenly it crashed as well. "Search" doesn't work anymore, either.

That's about all there is to tell. Firefox and Windows Messenger still appear to be working, and I'm running in Safe Mode with Networking.

Something that may be relevant: Another friend suggested I look at "hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run" in my registry; I did, and a couple entries look suspicious to me.

http://tinyurl.com/aps7k <-- Screenshot.

The zod32.exe one, which is highlighted in that shot, is the one I'm most suspicious of. Can't recall seeing it before, and it was a process running when I restarted my machine into Normal Mode. I don't know what LVCOMPSX or TkBellExe are, either, though I think the rest are OK. Anything with Logitech should be from my webcam, Symantec from Norton.

I know, it was incredibly dumb of me to open that exe in the first place. I'm usually pretty good about not being a total technological failure, but this time... oh well. Any help would be appreciated; as it is, I'm going to have to completely wipe it all.

Hi Xrot - I suggest you get a copy of HiJackThis, which is a program that investigates your registry and will give information that experts can look at to identify problems.

You say that IE crashes within 15 seconds or so. That may be enough time to download HJT - if not, can you use another computer or ask a friend to download it? Then copy it to a floppy or CD and move it to your computer.

Please follow the instructions below - I've given the full address of a download site, in case you have to use another computer.

First, create a new folder on your hard drive - (ie C:/HJT or C:/Program Files/HJT). Download HiJackThis from here - http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155. It's a zip folder so you'll then have to open that and extract the contents into the new folder you've created (it mustn't run from the zip folder).

Open the new HJT folder and click or double-click on hijackthis.exe to open the program.

Click on the 'Scan and save log file' button. When the scan is finished it will ask you to save the log - click 'Save' and the log will open in notepad.

Click on 'Edit/Select All' then 'Edit/Copy'. Then paste the log into a new post and wait for expert help.

DO NOT allow HJT to 'fix' anything - many of the items in the log are safe and necessary for your computer to work.

Alright, downloaded and scanned. I did this in Safe Mode, though - just realized that that may not be as helpful, if at all. Hmm... I'll try starting normally, saving the log, then going back into Safe Mode with Networking to post. But just in case, here's the Safe Mode log (next post has normal one):

After rebooting from Safe Mode my computer, on its own, gave me the start-up menu (the one where you choose Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration, etc.). Apparently, there was an error while starting up. I chose LKGC, it tried to start up, gave me the same menu. I didn't know what the heck I could do now, but I tried LKGC again. This time, it worked. Then, after running HJT, while trying to go back into Safe Mode, I was forced to choose the Safe Mode option twice. Once the menu came up by my own design, once it was, apparently, from an error. :/

Also, when starting up (in normal mode) Spybot alerted me to a registry change. "zod32.exe" was being deleted, by what I don't know. To be on the safe side, I denied the change; I can delete it if I need to, since I know where it is, and this way the HJT log shows the situation as it's usually been.

One other interesting this is that Windows Messenger works normally in normal mode. It was quite a surprise to see "Captain Fantastic" message me. :P The slowness is pretty odd; everything seems normal, on the desktop. Then you try to open something, anything... I'm surprised I managed to open HJT, but I found that normal folders work if you're prepared to be very, very patient.

Auto Protect was on, but not up to date. After I realized what I'd done, I updated it and scanned - but it didn't find anything. Neither does anything else.

LargeMember, have your fun in another thread.

Where are you located – If its Malaysia and this is your ISP then do not fix the R1 entry

Malaysia - Infra-tmnet

Fix these with HJT – mark them, close IE, click fix checked

Restart your computer into safe mode now. (Tapping F8 at the first black screen) Perform the following steps in safe mode:

Double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. Now put a tick by Standard File Kill. In the "Full Path of File to Delete" box, copy and paste each of the following lines one at a time then click on the button that has the red circle with the X in the middle after you enter each file. It will ask for confimation to delete the file. Click Yes. Continue with that same procedure until you have copied and pasted all of these in the "Paste Full Path of File to Delete" box.

c:\counter.cab
C:\WINDOWS\system32\zod32.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WinZod32.exe

Note: It is possible that Killbox will tell you that one or more files do not exist. If that happens, just continue on with all the files. Be sure you don't miss any.

Exit the Killbox.

START – RUN – type in %temp% OK - Edit – Select all – File – Delete
Delete everything in the C:\Windows\Temp folder or C:\WINNT\temp
Empty the recycle bin
Boot and post a new log

Please give feedback on what worked/didn’t work and the current status of your system

Download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
· Install ewido.
· During the installation, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
· Launch ewido
· It will prompt you to update click the OK button and it will go to the main screen
· On the left side of the main screen click update
· Click on Start and let it update.
· DO NOT run a scan yet. You will do that later in safe mode.

Restart your computer into safe mode now. Perform the following steps in safe mode:

Run Ewido:
· Click on scanner
· Click Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
· During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click OK
· When the scan is finished, look at the bottom of the screen and click the Save report button.
· Save the report to your C: Drive
This will take some time to run!
Post that log and a new HiJack log – If the log is too large attach it.

I'm not in Malaysia, but I think that's a proxy I set myself. Regardless, I deleted it.

HijackThis apparently deleted all 15 files. Killbox didn't find anything to delete, however. I deleted everything in %temp% and C:\Windows\Temp folder, but C:\WINNT\temp apparently isn't there. As for current status: I think you fixed it! Everything runs at a normal speed and MSN works. However, I just tried Internet Explorer, and while it starts up normally it still closes/crashes whenever I attempt to go anywhere but my homepage (which is loaded automatically). But I don't care - I use Firefox anyway. Thanks a lot.
