XP Security Center Virus

A few days ago while on surfthechannel.com, my computer was infected with what seemed like several viruses. I ran Trend Micro's PC Cillin and it found and deleted two trojans, but it doesn't seem to be able to locate this remaining virus. My computer runs very slow and most of the time can't boot up in normal mode. If it does boot up in normal mode it freezes pretty shortly after. I have to run it in safe mode with networking to get it to work at all. Even in safe mode I constantly have the fake security center popping up doing scans - telling me I have several infections, asking me to buy the software it's advertising, random internet explorer windows coming up with several different advertisements, and messages at the bottom right and left sides of my screen from the fake security center icon also pop up constantly saying I have been infected with various things.

I downloaded and ran SmitfraudFix to clean my registry but I don't think it did anything. I also tried to download superantispyware but an error message comes up when I try to install the software - something along the lines of "this software cannot be installed due to administrator settings". PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

* Click Yes to confirm and then click OK.

• Double click the renamed .com file.
  [*]If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO, then use the following settings for a more complete scan.

Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

 

I just tried the first step you suggested and it was just like trying to install superantispyware - I got a message saying I'm not allowed to alter registry files due to administrator settings. How do I adjust my administrator settings?!??! The virus MUST have altered them!!! Thanks for your help!

 

Hi,

That's the virus doing that:

Please run the following tools

Please download exeHelper to your desktop.

• Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix.
• A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
• Post the contents of log.txt (Will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com)

Note If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).


The above tool will run directly from the USB drive.

Is that doesn't allow you to run the steps from my previous post then try this next one:

If you have an active internet connection, copy/paste the links below into your browser, don't click them or the rogue might redirect. If you don't have an active internet connection, download the tools from another machine, and transfer them to the affected machine via USB flash drive.


Please download and run the following tool to help allow other programs to run. (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com)
There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
Vista and Win7 users need to right click and choose Run as Admin
You only need to get one of them to run, not all of them.


http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.exe
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.com
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.scr
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.pif


Note:

You will likely see a message from this rogue telling you the file is infected. Ignore the message. Leave the message OPEN, do not close the message. Run rkill repeatedly until it's able to do it's job. This may take a few tries. You'll be able to tell rkill has done it's job when your desktop (explorer.exe) cycles off and then on again.

At this point, you should now be able to run analysis tools.

Once the tool has run, do NOT reboot the machine, and then try once again to run DDS and GMER.

If for some reason the machine reboots, repeat the process. Again, try not to restart the machine.

 

Here is the log I got from running exeHelper that you requested. I will try the steps from your original message now. Thanks!

 

I was about to start going through the original steps you gave me but when I ran a new scan with Hijackthis it seems as though some of the files you told me to clean were no longer there and new ones had appeared. I was just wondering if you could look at the new log before I complete this part of the process. Thank you so much for your patience!

 

Hi,

don't be too concerned about HijackThis right now, I just gave you a quick fix in order to enable the other scans to run more efficiently:

The items to delete in the new scan are these:

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit Kaspersky Online Scanner:

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.
2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:

• Close any open programs
• Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

3. Click Run at the Security prompt. The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database. Please be patient as this can take several minutes.

• Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
• Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
• Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
• Click View scan report at the bottom.
  
• Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply
