AVE.EXE

Pasting in contextual information from another post. ~ OB

XP Pro SP3 & latest updates. Was able to (seemingly) remove AV.EXE by successive scans of SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware but then a launch of Firefox (redirected) resulted in "AntiVirus XP" pitching me to register to remove "TROJAN-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen". Very similar to the previous AV.EXE infection. Now a HijackThis (2.02) scan shows AVE.EXE running on the machine in two instances appparently. Machine is disconnected from my intranet and I'm on another machine.

Not sure how to proceed. I'm first of all going to get as many important files as possible to backup. Can I save this thing?

Thanks in advance,

Johnny

End of added information. ~ OB

Hello and welcome to Bleeping Computer

We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help. Here at Bleeping Computer we get overwhelmed at times, and we are trying our best to keep up. Please note that your topic was not intentionally overlooked. Our mission is to help everyone in need, but sometimes it takes just a little longer to get to every request for help. No one is ignored here.

If you have since resolved the original problem you were having, we would appreciate you letting us know. If not please perform the following steps below so we can have a look at the current condition of your machine.

Please include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.

Please refrain from running tools or applying updates other than those we suggest while we are cleaning up your computer. The reason for this is so we know what is going on with the machine at any time. Some programs can interfere with others and hamper the recovery process.

Even if you have already provided information about your PC, we need a new log to see what has changed since you originally posted your problem.
We need to create an OTL Report

1. Please download OTL from one of the following mirrors:
   • This is THE Mirror
2. Save it to your desktop.
3. Double click on the icon on your desktop.
4. Click the "Scan All Users" checkbox.
5. In the custom scan box paste the following:
   
   CODE
   msconfig
   safebootminimal
   activex
   drivers32
   netsvcs
   %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
   /md5start
   eventlog.dll
   scecli.dll
   netlogon.dll
   cngaudit.dll
   sceclt.dll
   ntelogon.dll
   logevent.dll
   iaStor.sys
   nvstor.sys
   atapi.sys
   IdeChnDr.sys
   viasraid.sys
   AGP440.sys
   vaxscsi.sys
   nvatabus.sys
   viamraid.sys
   nvata.sys
   nvgts.sys
   iastorv.sys
   ViPrt.sys
   eNetHook.dll
   ahcix86.sys
   KR10N.sys
   nvstor32.sys
   ahcix86s.sys
   nvrd32.sys
   symmpi.sys
   adp3132.sys
   mv61xx.sys
   nvraid.sys
   /md5stop
   %systemroot%\*. /mp /s
   %systemroot%\system32\*.dll /lockedfiles
   %systemroot%\Tasks\*.job /lockedfiles
   %systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.sys /lockedfiles
   %systemroot%\System32\config\*.sav
   %systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.sys /90
6. Push the button.
7. Two reports will open, copy and paste them in a reply here:
   • OTL.txt <-- Will be opened
   • Extra.txt<--Will be minimized

In the upper right hand corner of the topic you will see a button called Options. If you click on this in the drop-down menu you can choose Track this topic. I suggest you do this and select Immediate E-Mail notification and click on Proceed. This way you will be advised when we respond to your topic and facilitate the cleaning of your machine.

After 5 days if a topic is not replied to we assume it has been abandoned and it is closed.

Hi Myrti, and thanks

OTL is running on infected machine, but seems to have hung up on driver WudfRd... for about 1/2 hour now.

In other news, I'm on a secure second machine with all my important stuff backed up. The infected machine seemed to be working properly after a reboot, rkill, then successive scans with Malwarebytes Anti Malware and superantispyware.

still hung up on WudfRd...

any suggestions?

Hi Myrti,

Still hung up so I'm going to abort this scan and try again ...

Same situation, OTL runs for about 5 seconds and hangs up while "Scanning driver: WudfRd...

Hi,

could you then try to provide a new DDS log instead.

regards myrti

Hi,

could you please try running gmer next:
Please download GMER from one of the following locations and save it to your desktop:

• Main Mirror
  This version will download a randomly named file (Recommended)
• Zipped Mirror
  This version will download a zip file you will need to extract first. If you use this mirror, please extract the zip file to your desktop.

• Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
• Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security programs will not conflict with gmer's driver.
• Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
• Note: If you downloaded the zipped version, extract the file to its own folder such as C:\gmer and then double-click on gmer.exe.
  
  
  
• GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)
• If you receive a WARNING!!! about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system...click NO.
• Now click the Scan button. If you see a rootkit warning window, click OK.
• When the scan is finished, click the Save... button to save the scan results to your Desktop. Save the file as gmer.log.
• Click the Copy button and paste the results into your next reply.
• Exit GMER and re-enable all active protection when done.

-- If you encounter any problems, try running GMER in Safe Mode.


regards myrti

Hi,

you have been infected by a nasty rootkit. It 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 still clean this machine but I can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards. Let me know what you decide to do.


If you decide to clean, then please run ComboFix and post the log in your next reply:

Please download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 2
Link 3

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

• Temporarily disable isable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  Usually this can be done via a right click on the System Tray icon, check this tutorial for disabling the most common security programs: Link
  
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
• As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  
• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.



Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:



Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it will produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.
ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper

I've got all the distribution CD's; I'll reformat & reload XP & Office.

Can you briefly explain what you see in the GMER log that indicates such a serious situation?

Thanks in advance, Myrti

Johnny

Hi,

The give away in the gmer log are the following lines:


They point to TDL3, which currently is a very common infection. There is a writeup on one of the earlier versions here for example: more about tdl3

regards myrti

Myrti:

In the process of reformating my C drive the following partition information was presented:

57232 MD DISK 0 AT ID 0 ON ATAPI [MBR}

-: PARTITION1 [FAT] 47 MB <39 MB FREE>
C: PARTITION2 [NTFS] 53835 MB <20231 MB FREE>
E: PARTITION3 [FAT32] 3342 MB <370 MB FREE>
UNPARTITIONED SPACE 8 MB

This is a DELL Laptop and DELL loaded the OS. I have never seen an E:\ drive; is this due to TDL3? Dr. Web's article "BackDoor.Tdss.565 and its Modifications (aka TDL3)" talks about this (p5).

Dr. Web says
"Surely, an encrypted drive with its own file system is among the most notable technical features of TDL3"

Who is winning this war?

Thanks in advance, Myrti

Johnny

Did your PC come preinstalled with an operating system? If so the E partition is very probably the recovery partition of your PC.

The encrypted partition of the infection will look like an unpartitioned space unless you know the password. It is very small as well. So for example in this case I would expect it to be hidden in the 8Mb of unpartitioned space.
Nevertheless once you have deleted the disk controller able to access this hidden partition, the partition itself doesn't pose any kind of a threat because even to a new infection it will look like unpartitioned space and noone can access the data on it anymore.

regards myrti

Hi Myrti,

Yes, the machine did come (from DELL) with the OS pre-loaded.

Should I have created a recovery partition when I re-installed the OS?

Thanks in advance,

Johnny
