Ok so, I've been doing some research over the last few days about this little bugger. A little background:

Time Warner contacted me recently to inform that our IP was logged sending out "virus related emails and spam". I began tracing and logging until eventually narrowing it down to 2 computers, 1 a Mac G5 and the other a HP desktop running XP. I took the opportunity on the Mac to format and clean because it was cluttered and it was about that time anyway so I'm good on that one. The XP computer, however is a little trickier due to my lack of experience with spambots.

I can use any tool I need to isolate and clean this thing, but I can't reconnect it to the network. I have another computer that I can download the software and install it, but I can't update because it requires me plugging it back into the network. The computer has no symptoms that I can tell. The last time I checked the CBL, it said I had a Rustock (I think, it no longer specifies which bot is the culprit) infection.

My question is this: What should I do since I can't really plug this computer back in without allowing it to jump and and start spamming again? I'm 2 days running off of the CBL, I don't really want to jeopardize that and have TW knocking at my door again.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer and I apologize if this issue has been covered extensively somewhere else. (I did a scan over the forums for a similar problem, but couldn't find anything similar enough to jump on board and follow the steps.)

Shameless bump >.<

Anyone have a clue? I've run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (without updating) twice and it didn't pick up anything out of the ordinary.

Hello and Welcome to Bleeping Computer!

To avoid spreading the infection please first run this program to prevent your flashdrive from getting infected:
Please download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop.

Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
Hold down the Shift key when inserting the drive until Windows detects it to keep autorun.inf from executing if it is present.
Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
Reboot your computer when done.

Note: As part of its routine, Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive that was plugged in when you ran it. Do not delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection by keeping the autorun file from being installed on the root drive and running other malicious files.

Please run a scan with gmer:
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.

Rustock is a rootkit, hence it won't be seen by traditional malware programs, but needs to be search with dedicated rootkit scanners.

Hi,

I would suggest running ComboFix next, however ComboFix is not meant for a corporate environment, but for personal PCs normally. I did not see any particular uncommon business software on your PC, but if you have concerns let me know and we'll handle it differently.

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to Microsoft's website => http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994

Select the download that's appropriate for your Operating System

Download the file & save it as it's originally named.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Transfer all files you just downloaded, to the desktop of the infected computer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools

Drag the setup package onto ComboFix.exe and drop it.
Follow the prompts to start ComboFix and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Recovery Console.
At the next prompt, click 'Yes' to run the full ComboFix scan.
When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please post the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
regards myrti

Hi,

that looks promising. There is more though, so please run the following script:

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

CODE

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/334091/infected-with-a-spambot-time-warner-threatening-disconnect/
Collect::
c:\windows\system32\drivers\ytqspet.sys
c:\windows\Wcacokilominixig.bin
c:\windows\system32\icarapir.dll
c:\documents and settings\Brenda\Application Data\qvjsge.dat
Driver::
ytqspet

Save this as CFScript.txt

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply.

**Note**

When CF finishes running, the ComboFix log will open along with a message box--do not be alarmed. With the above script, ComboFix will capture files to submit for analysis.

Ensure you are connected to the internet and click OK on the message box.

Please also upload these files to virustotal so we can check them:

Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows

Please click this link-->Jotti

When the jotti page has finished loading, click the browse button and navigate to the files listed below in bold, then click Submit. You will only be able to have one file scanned at a time.

c:\windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys
c:\windows\system32\MsPMSNSv.dll

Please post back the results of the scan in your next post.

If Jotti is busy, try the same at Virustotal: http://www.virustotal.com/

Hi,

you're very welcome! As a final step please uninstall the programs we used:
Please do the following to clean up your PC:

Delete the tools used during the disinfection:
Uninstall ComboFix.exe And all Backups of the files it deleted
- Click START then RUN
- Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
- Download OTC from the following mirror and save it to your desktop:
  - Mirror
- Double click on
- Push the large "Cleanup" button.
- Allow your system to reboot.
If OTC faild to remove all programs from your Desktop, please delete the rest manually.

Please read these advices, in order to prevent reinfecting your PC:

Install and update the following programs regularly:
- an outbound firewall
  A comprehensive tutorial and a list of possible firewalls can be found here.
- an AntiVirus Software
  It is imperative that you update your AntiVirus Software on regular basis.If you do not update your AntiVirus Software then it will not be able to catch the latest threats.
- an Anti-Spyware program
  Malware Byte's Anti Malware is an excellent Anti-Spyware scanner. It's scan times are usually under ten minutes, and has excellent detection and removal rates.
  SUPERAntiSpyware is another good scanner with high detection and removal rates.
  Both programs are free for non commercial home use but provide a resident and do not nag if you purchase the paid versions.
- Spyware Blaster
  A tutorial for Spywareblaster can be found here. If you wish, the commercial version provides automatic updating.
- MVPs hosts file
  A tutorial for MVPs hosts file can be found here. If you would like automatic updates you might want to take a look at HostMan host file manager. For more information on thehosts file, and what it can do for you,please consult the Tutorial on the Hosts file
Keep Windows (and your other Microsoft software) up to date!
I cannot stress how important this is enough. Often holes are found in Internet Explorer or Windows itself that require patching. Sometimes these holeswill allow an attacker unrestricted access to your computer.
Therefore, please, visit the Microsoft Update Website and follow the on screen instructions to setup Microsoft Update. Also follow the instructions to update your system. Please REBOOT and repeat this process until there are no more updates to install!!
Keep your other software up to date as well
Software does not need to be made by Microsoft to be insecure. You can use the Secunia Online Software occasionally to help you check for out of date software on yourmachine.
Stay up to date!
The MOST IMPORTANT part of any security setup is keeping the software up to date. Malware writers release new variantsevery single day. If your software updates don't keep up, then the malware will always be one step ahead. Not a good thing .
