Downadup & win32.kido.ih Help please?

Hi guys,

Was hoping for a little help if possible.

think i got rid of the 'downadup' virus but the 'Kido' virus keeps attacking at intervals even though kaspersky throttles it i want to stop the attacks if possible.

thanks, any pointers would be appreciated.

Have you tried running your scans in "Safe Mode"? If not, please do so, then do this:

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (v1.33) and save it to your desktop.
alternate download link 1
alternate download link 2
If you have a previous version of MBAM, remove it via Add/Remove Programs and download a fresh copy.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
• Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

• If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.
• Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
• If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install. Alternatively, you can update through MBAM's interface from a clean computer, copy the definitions (rules.ref) located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from that system to a usb stick or CD and then copy it to the infected machine.

On the Scanner tab:

• Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
• Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

Back at the main Scanner screen:

• Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.

Notes: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

MBAM may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes. Click this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled.

Hi,

Am unable to enter safemode in anyway.

last forum i went to a couple of years ago sent me off to microsoft as they didnt know exactly what it is was, i didnt bother to do so.

That said heres my log from MBAM::

just removed and is asking me to reboot.

Rescan again with MBAM (Quick Scan) in normal mode and check all items found for removal. Don't forgot to check for database updates through the program's interface (preferable way) before scanning and to reboot afterwards. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware. When done, click the Logs tab and copy/paste the contents of the new report in your next reply.

Have you tried running your Kaspersky scan in "Safe Mode" yet?

Have you tried running your Kaspersky scan in "Safe Mode" yet?

i have no safemode as stated above.

its how i got the computer when purchased a few years ago 2nd hand.

kaspersky has been stopping the kido & Black viruses over the past couple of days up until this morning.

left my machine on overnight and no apparent attacks via Kaspersky or anything unwarranted via peerguardian.

did a scan with kaspersky about 7 hours ago and all came clean, spybot was also a clean log earlier this morning.

like i say there has been no attacks to my knowledge since this morning, but clearly after removing that 'system attack' earlier with you via MBAM there are still remnants at minimum to still remove possibly.

asd

Sorry I missed that. There can be several causes for not being able to boot in Safe Mode to include BIOS, software, malware and wireless keyboards. Keep in mind that safe mode is a troubleshooting mode designed to start Windows with minimal drivers and running processes to diagnose problems with your computer. This means some of the programs and drivers that normally run when Windows starts will not run. This sometimes can include the drivers for your wireless keyboard which essentially could render it useless.

Also some LCD panels cannot boot in Safe mode due to refresh rates and there is nothing you can do about it apart from changing LCD to CRT or another LCD.

If its not any of the problems described above, you may want to try doing a Repair Install with Recovery Console or try using Safe Mode Fixer for Win XP/2000 which costs a small fee.

If you don't want to do that and since there are no more signs of malware, you should Create a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since this is a protected directory your tools cannot access to delete these files, they sometimes can reinfect your system if you accidentally use an old restore point. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

The easiest and safest way to do this is:

• Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
• Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name, then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.

• Then use Disk Cleanup to remove all but the most recently created Restore Point.
• Go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
• Click "Ok". Disk Cleanup will scan your files for several minutes, then open.
• Click the "More Options" tab, then click the "Clean up" button under System Restore.
• Click Ok. You will be prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete all but the most recent restore point?"
• Click Yes, then click Ok.
• Click Yes again when prompted with "Are you sure you want to perform these actions?"
• Disk Cleanup will remove the files and close automatically.

Many thanks for your help.

Really is appreciated.

You're welcome.

Tips to protect yourself against malware and reduce the potential for re-infection:

• Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe.
• How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!.
• Hardening Windows Security - Part 1 & Part 2.
• IE Recommended Minimal Security Settings - How to Secure Your Web Browser.
• Use Task Manager to close pop-up messages to safely exit malware attacks.

• Avoid gaming sites, pirated software, cracking tools, keygens, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. They are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to a smörgåsbord of malware infections, remote attacks, exposure of personal information, and identity theft. Many malicious worms and Trojans spread across P2P file sharing networks, gaming and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and malicious Flash ads that install viruses, Trojans and spyware. Ads are a target for hackers because they offer a stealthy way to distribute malware to a wide range of Internet users. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is to avoid these types of web sites and not use any P2P applications. Read P2P Software User Advisories and Risks of File-Sharing Technology.

• Keeping Autorun enabled on USB and other removable drives has become a significant security risk due to the increasing number of malware variants that can infect them and transfer the infection to your computer. To learn more about this risk, please read:

• When is AUTORUN.INF really an AUTORUN.INF?.
• Please disable Autorun asap!.
