BleepingComputer.com: XP Restore Trojan

A Windows Restore Trojan popped up last week on my laptop (6/10) and we have been unable to bring it back to normal. Have done Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware full scan, which found 21 issues and resolved. Performed another quick scan today and still issues were found.

Used unhide.exe and changed folder options so that hidden files can be viewed. Still receive a white screen, rundll message that says C:\Windows\vgromlo.dll module can not be found and I have concerns re: 'bogus' McAfee message/s. Here are the latest Malwarebytes and OTL results:

Hello and welcome to the forums!

My secret agent name on the forums is SweetTech (you can call me ST for short), it's a pleasure to meet you.

I am very sorry for the delay in responding, but as you can see we are at the moment being flooded with logs which, when paired with the never-ending shortage of helpers, resulted in the delayed responding to your thread.

I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems.

If you have since resolved the issues you were originally experiencing, or have received help elsewhere, please inform me so that this topic can be closed.

If you have not, please adhere to the guidelines below and then follow instructions as outlined further below:

• Logs from malware removal programs (OTL is one of them) can take some time to analyze. I need you to be patient while I analyze any logs you post. Please remember, I am a volunteer, and I do have a life outside of these forums.
  
  
• Please make sure to carefully read any instruction that I give you. Attention to detail is important! Since I cannot see or directly interact with your computer I am dependent on you to "be my eyes" and provide as much information as you can regarding the current state of your computer.
  
  
• If you're not sure, or if something unexpected happens, do NOT continue! Stop and ask!
  
  
• In Windows Vista and Windows 7, all tools need to be started by right clicking and selecting Run as Administrator!
  
  
• If I instruct you to download a specific tool in which you already have, please delete the copy that you have and re-download the tool. The reason I ask you to do this is because these tools are updated fairly regularly.
  
  
• Do not do things I do not ask for, such as running a spyware scan on your computer. The one thing that you should always do, is to make sure sure that your anti-virus definitions are up-to-date!
  
  
• Please do not use the Attachment feature for any log file. Do a Copy/Paste of the entire contents of the log file and submit it inside your post.
  
  
• I am going to stick with you until ALL malware is gone from your system. I would appreciate it if you would do the same. From this point, we're in this together ;)
  Because of this, you must reply within three days failure to reply will result in the topic being closed!
  
  
• Lastly, I am no magician. I will try very hard to fix your issues, but no promises can be made. Also be aware that some infections are so severe that you might need to resort to reformatting and reinstalling your operating system.
  Don't worry, this only happens in severe cases, but it sadly does happen. Be prepared to back up your data. Have means of backing up your data available.

____________________________________________________

Rootkit UnHooker (RkU)
Please download Rootkit Unhooker from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.

Link 1 (.exe file)
Link 2 (zipped file)
Link 3 (.rar file)

In order to use this tool if you downloaded from either of the second two links, you will need to extract the RKUnhookerLE.exe file using a program capable of extracing ZIP and RAR compressed files. If you don't have an extraction program, you can downlaod, install and use the free 7-zip utility.

• Double-click on RKUnhookerLE.exe to start the program.
  Vista/Windows 7 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
  
• Click the Report tab, then click Scan.
  
• Check Drivers, Stealth Code, and uncheck the rest.
  
• Click OK.
  
• Wait until it's finished and then go to File > Save Report.
  
• Save the report to your Desktop.
  
• Copy and paste the contents of the report into your next reply.

-- Note: You may get this warning...just ignore it, click OK and continue: "Rootkit Unhooker has detected a parasite inside itself! It is recommended to remove parasite, okay?".



NEXT:


Running OTL

We need to create a FULL OTL Report

• Please download OTL from here:
  
  • Main Mirror
    
  • Mirror
  
  
• Save it to your desktop.
  
• Double click on the icon on your desktop.
  
• Click the "Scan All Users" checkbox.
  
• Change the "Extra Registry" option to "SafeList"
  
• Push the button.
  
• Two reports will open, copy and paste them in a reply here:
  
  • OTL.txt <-- Will be opened
    
  • Extras.txt <-- Will be minimized

NEXT:


Please provide an update on how things are running in your next reply.

Hi!

It's been several days since I last posted instructions for you to complete. Do you still require assistance in getting your computer cleaned up?

Please Note: Unless notified in advance, threads with no response in 3 days get closed.

If for any reason you cannot complete instructions within that time, that's fine, just put a post here so that I know you're still here. We get a lot of people who simply leave & if there is no contact for that amount of time I will have to assume you have abandoned your topic.


Thanks,
SweetTech.

Due to lack of feedback this thread will now be closed. If you still require assistance, and would like to have your thread re-opened, please feel free to send me a Private Message (PM) being sure to include a link to your topic, and I'd be happy to re-open it.
