Hello. My (tempoary) computer has been generally slow recently, which sometimes results in it telling me that I don't have permission to shut it down, and I've got some funny processes running. I did both Spybot and Ad-Aware which removed various other things except these processes. The most notable were icrss.exe, winmgt.exe, efes.exe (which now creates an illegal operation at startup- so ceases instantly) and pcdost.exe - I've certainly never seen them before.

I'm in the process of the other downloads and programs stated on the topic - but this computer is only 128MB RAM so I had to post before it crashed again.

I'm new to Hijackthis so apologies if I've done something wrong.

Hi marbles333

One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the Trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

We can attempt to clean this machine but i can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post

Its only a temporary computer - my other computer is in for repairs. I don't use any form of internet banking or anything - just webmail, IM and forums which I'm not too bothered about. I've only used this computer since Thursday, so not much has gone far.

Yes do what you need - it doesn't bother me what I have to do on this machine. Once I've got mine back this computer is then used for offline activities - this is the first time it's been connected to the internet.

Hi

Ok, we'll start:

Download SDFix
and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
  • Choose your usual account.
  • Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  • It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
    (Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
  • Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum with a new HijackThis log

Any better? Can you please recommend me a (free) firewall, as this computer runs Windows 2000 which doesn't have Windows Firewall (don't blame me for not having adequate protection - I've only used this computer since Thursday - its the first time its been on the net in its entire 7-year life!) I've be very grateful. I currently have AVG Free, Ad Aware and Spybot on this computer whereas I have a full security suite on my proper computer.

Bugger AVG keeps detecting other EXE files (which it flags as backdoor progs) - I click "Heal" but I don't know what it does with them. It's not my preferred AV program.

I think everything's gone now - there's no unverified processes anymore. AVG did detect a few things, so I healed them and deleted any other suspicious files (they were all either H.exe, <space>.exe or Z.exe; one on my Win98 drive aswell!).

I don't intend using this computer much longer anyhow, so many thanks! If anything else crops up I'll let you know, and will change all my passwords on a secure computer tomorrow. Keep up the good work! thumbup.gif

Hi

Anyway, please send a fresh HijackThis log smile.gif There are at least bad registry entries left and maybe also one bad exe (sdfix didn't seem to remove it).

Can you please specify how many of these are not legitimate?

I manually deleted efes.exe.
h.EXE and z.EXE kept popping up by the AVG Anti Virus alert - I clicked heal but I don't know what it does with them. BTW is MSCONFIG included in Microsoft Windows 2000?

Here is the HijackThis log:

Hi

The ones you marked with bold are not smile.gif

So do this:

Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only and checkmark these:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MS System Call Function] h.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Anti-Virus Update Scheduler] C:\efes.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [MS System Call Function] h.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MS System Call Function] z.exe


Close all windows including browser and press fix checked.

Please do a search:
"Run "Start">"Search">"All Files and Folders"> enter h.exe in "All or part of file name". Select "More advanced options". Check-mark "Search System Folders", "Search hidden files and folders", and "Search subfolders". Click "Search". Right click the file and select delete.

Empty Recycle Bin.

NOTE: That file may not exist at all! If it doesn't, just skip the step above.

Repeat step for z.exe and ppcdost.exe

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner. You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:

    o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:

    + Extended (If available otherwise Standard)

    o Scan Options:

    + Scan Archives
    + Scan Mail Bases

  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan select My Computer
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the Save as Text button
  • Save the file to your desktop.
  • Copy and paste that information in your next post.
Send:

The Kaspersky scan has been going for 1h 30mins now and only 57%. If it hasn't finished by 11pm I'm going to have to stop it (out of my control). If it hasn't completed, will it remove any infected files its found before then?

Hi

Kaspersky doesn't remove anything but is an excellent scanner. That's why I use it smile.gif

Empty IE temporary internet files

Empty this folder:

D:\SDFix\backups

Delete this:

D:\WINNT\system32\dllcache\ppcdost.exe

If you can't find it, make your hidden & system files visible -> http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

Empty Recycle Bin.

Re-scan with kaspersky

Send:

- a fresh HijackThis log
- kaspersky report

Yes Kasperesky is an excellent scanner if you have three hours on your hands - I'm afraid I'm unable to leave it again for that amount of time today, simply because energy prices aren't cheap! I don't know whether it takes less time normally, but this computer is only running with 128MB RAM.

Deleted the SD Fix backups - however PPCDost.exe doens't exist (even when hidden files are visible). Its not appearing on HijackThis any longer however.

CA Firewall no longer exists - I've got ZoneAlarm but CA still appears on HijackThis, even though it's been deleted.
