BleepingComputer.com: Trojans surviving multiple MBAM cleanings

From http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic403375.html/page__p__2289403__fromsearch__1#entry2289403

I have attempted to clean these trojans using Malware Bytes but it keeps coming right back. I have run the scanner both full and quick and it shows up after reboot even after stating "quarantined and deleted succesfully" in the logs.

the files it shows as infected are jgsh40032.dll in windows\system32
4 numbered .manifest files (0200000007d4bc5e1270c, 1270o, 1270p, 1270s)in system 32 and in documents&settings\localservice\application data

as well a key called .fsharproj that MBAM calls (Trojan.BHO) and 3 other registry keys.

============= FINISH: 15:59:51.10 ===============

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.

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.
