Hello every1

now how can i start telling you my story, well, it all started with rapidshare searching...

i was just browsing, no downloading no installs, suddenly a ballon popped up saying the windows firewall is not enabled and by the two seconds or so that i got to the correct window to enable it again, it somehow enabled itself again. this was very suspicious... but i moved on ignoring. while i searched in google a very strange thing started to happen.

all google results seem to take me to the same website...woops..has google been hacked...
every link on the google result page seemed to start with <http://go.google.com> and when clicked
i was being redirected via so many domains so i was getting concerned. the proxy setting in IE found to be empty and i found no dodgy middleware.

i have F-secure antivirus GENUINE, adaware 2008 free version and both on full scan found no problems..however

when i try to visit the site http://lavasoft.com/ the browser fails to connect although dns resolved to correct ip address. so... i installed Fiddler, to view whats happenining to HTTP sessions. as you may know fiddler acts as a proxy and internet explorer connects to it via 127.0.0.1:8888

now with fiddler INSTALLED and IE using it i can visit the lavasoft.com site perfectly whereas firefox which is not using fiddler as its proxy gives me same connection error... strange !!

my hijack log seemed ok however PROCESS EXPLORER revealed something important. svchost.exe had launched an instance of internet explorer. so i booted to safe mode and scanned again with f-secure and found a trojan...happy moments...was so relieved...but

now all the google results appear fine, i still cant connect to lavasoft.com if not using fiddler. so i suspected that some system files had been compromised. so i un-installed the SP3 and upon reboot wet to safemoded command prompt (F8 at boot time) and installed SP3 again. now the problem is still here.

if my firefox and IE are connected via fiddler, it can connect to lavasoft, otherwise not. hosts file is clean and dns resolves just fine. i'm sure the trojan is waiting to be f****d

please help !!

I have moved your Topic that includes a HijackThis log here to the Misplaced HJT Logs forum. You posted your log in a forum not intended for HijackThis logs analysis and probably missed the directions we provide to those who require assistance. We can only allow topics with such logs in the HijackThis Logs and Malware Removal forum. This restriction is to ensure you get the best help available, from those who specialize in malware anlaysis and removal. It also should prevent you from receiving ineffective or even potentially dangerous advice, whether well meaning or not.

Prior to posting a HJT log, we ask that you please read and follow all instructions in the pinned topic titled Preparation Guide For Use Before Posting A Hijackthis Log. Following the steps in this Guide will allow the HJT Team to quickly help you with specific fixes for what may remain on your system.

Please complete all the steps in the Guide. If you have performed some of them already, then just continue with the next. If you can't perform a step, then skip it and continue with the next. The last step will include downloading and using the most current version of HijackThis if the first line of your log does not appear as follows:

Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2

Please note that it is important that HijackThis be run and a log created while in normal mode. If you run it and create your log while in safe mode, you will be asked to redo it again properly. When you have completed those steps, start a new topic in the HijackThis Logs and Malware Removal forum as directed in the Guide to post a new log.

Please DO NOT post any more logs to this topic, or post a log again in the wrong forum.

This Misplaced HJT Logs forum is strictly a holding area where the BC Staff can assist you with preparations for and to properly post your log. If you have a question or encounter a problem in the Prep Guide, please do post back to this topic; that is what it is here for.

When your new HJT log is posted in the proper forum, please reply to this topic with a link to your new topic. Once that is done, a Member of the HJT Team will analyze your log and assist you with step by step instructions to clean your computer or otherwise advise what needs to be done.

Thanks for your cooperation and good luck.
The BC Staff

truly amazed with the ComboFix utility.

it detected presence of a rootkit that other
BIG BRAND antivirus programs could not.

i guess F-secure would have kicked out this
rootkit after a month or so when they update
their definition files, but thats not good enough for me.

combofix detected these files and deleted them.

ComboFix is an extremely powerful tool which should only be used when instructed to do so by someone who has been properly trained. ComboFix is intended by its creator to be "used under the guidance and supervision of an expert", NOT for private use. Please read Combofix's Disclaimer. Using this tool incorrectly could lead to disastrous problems with your operating system such as preventing it from ever starting again.

IMPORTANT NOTE: One or more of the identified infections (tdssserf.dll) was related to a rootkit component. Rootkits and backdoor Trojan are very dangerous because they use advanced techniques (backdoors) as a means of accessing a computer system that bypasses security mechanisms and steal sensitive information which they send back to the hacker. Many rootkits can hook into the Windows 32-bit kernel, and patch several APIs to hide new registry keys and files they install. Remote attackers use backdoor Trojans and rootkits as part of an exploit to gain unauthorized access to a computer and take control of it without your knowledge.

If your computer was used for online banking, has credit card information or other sensitive data on it, all passwords should be changed immediately to include those used for banking, email, eBay, paypal and online forums. You should consider them to be compromised. They should be changed by using a different computer and not the infected one. If not, an attacker may get the new passwords and transaction information. Banking and credit card institutions should be notified of the possible security breach. Because your computer was compromised please read How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

Although the rootkit was identified and removed, your PC has likely been compromised and there is no way to be sure the computer can ever be trusted again. It is dangerous and incorrect to assume that because the rootkit has been removed the computer is now secure. In some instances an infection may have caused so much damage to your system that it cannot be completely cleaned or repaired. The malware may leave so many remnants behind that security tools cannot find them. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of malware, the best course of action is to wipe the drive clean, reformat and reinstall the OS. Please read:

• "When should I re-format? How should I reinstall?"
• "Help: I Got Hacked. Now What Do I Do?"
• "Where to draw the line? When to recommend a format and reinstall?"

Should you decide not to follow that advice, we will do our best to help clean the computer of any infections but we cannot guarantee it to be trustworthy or that the removal will be successful. Let me know how you wish to proceed.
