Hello friends,

Recently my system got affected with some virus in the name Not-A-Virus.Monitor.Win32.Ardamax.ae.. When i scan my system with AVG it shows C:\windows\system32\28463\svchost.exe has been infected. It deleted the file. But it reappears immediately.

I could not access "msconfig", and "regedit".. Everytime when i restart my system, AVG anti spyware shows a pop up of this virus and asking to me to either "clean" or "ignore". But clean option doesnt make any improvement.

I am pasting here my HijackThis log file. Please tell me what can i do. Your early reply is solicited.

Hello sir,
Thanks very much for your reply. I tried to fix the above entries. Now "msconfig" works. But even after i select Fix in HijackThis, my registry is not opening. The value is still "1" and not changing to "0".. Please tell me how to solve.

Also my Yahoo Messenger is not working. I am unable to sign in into my account. This also happened after the attack of the above virus.. Please help me.


Thankss !!!

I have some other problems also because of this spyware/malware "Ardamax"

1. Since my yahoo messenger didnt work, I uninstalled and tried to reinstall. But it is not getting installed. It is not able to connect for web install.

2. I use AVG antivirus and AVG antispyware. Both cannot update via internet. It is saying "Update server connection failed".

3. So i thought of running online scans. I tried F-secure, Kaspersky and Panda. But while starting the scan all the above scanners are trying to install ActiveX. But there is a failure in installing ActiveX.

4. Still my Registry Editor does not work. I tried changing the value from "1" to "0" . But it shows a warning message saying "Cannot edit DisplayRegistryTools: Error writing the value's new contents."

I am totally helpless. Please someone help me to come out of this problem.

Sorry I didnt get to you sooner, Ardamax is a keylogger that records your keystrokes and sends them to its owner, I would suggest to not enter any personel info{credit card #s Ect,} while you still have the infection, download Spybot S&D from here,

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

After you download it, have it scan and then fix any malware it finds.

Hi.. Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the spyboot. But its not getting installed. Its showing some error saying "Error sending request. A connection with the server could not be established"

What can i do? Plese tel me

I am sending you the recent hijackthis log ..

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=

Hi.. Thanks for the reply. I tried to fix those entries. The 2nd one got fixed. But the 1st entry (F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=) could not be fixed. Its coming again and again. Still I am not able to connect to the server for spybot installation. My AVG antivirus also cannot connect to the server for virus update.

This is my recent HJT log file. Please let me know wat can be done next !!

Thanks very much.

Can you please do the following.


===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {140BD8E3-C167-11D4-B4A3-080000180323} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE

O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1
...(Unless you've restricted the use of registry editing, have HiJackThis fix this.)


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

Search for...

ALCMTR.EXE

...using "Start | Search...".

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-


Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE or HERE

• You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
• Physically disconnect from the internet.
• Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
• Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
• When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
• Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Hii. Thanks for the reply. I followed the procedure you have mentioned. I fixed all the above said 5 entried. But I am not sure it is successful. Because already I fixed "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1" but there was no change. Then here is the log from combofix.
