After upgrading my bandwidth with my ISP up to 1.5Mbps, i noticed my connection was still sluggish. The techie at my ISP asked me to Run-Execute-CMD-Netstat, and about 50+ TCPs came up. He said it looked like i had a Trojan virus.

I did an update and a full scan with Kazpersky, and it found one "Trojan Downloader", but it said it neutralized it. Here's what it found:

detected: riskware Invader (loader) Running process: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe
detected: riskware Invader Running process: C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe
detected: riskware Invader Running process: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\netfxupdate.exe

detected: riskware Invader Running process: C:\Documents and Settings\JASON\Local Settings\Temp\is-I1J0P.tmp\is-T13SH.tmp

Afterwhich it said "All threats have been neutralized".

However my connection is still slow, and when i Run-Execute-CMD-Netstat, i still get a bunch of TCP lines.

Here's my Hijackthis logfile:

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a Notepad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Please 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, a menu with options should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
  • Choose your usual account.

Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".


The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart anyway into normal Windows. A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply along with a new HijackThis log.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

OK -- i did as you said.

FYI - i just did a run-execute-Cmd-netstat, and almost a hundred TCP lines showed up. I'm not even sure this is 'normal' or not. the techie at my ISP said there should be none - but a friend that is much more techie than i says that it is normal to have them if you are online. ??

Every instance of an open webpage will have at least one connection, to secure sites there could be several; a couple running for your system [internal], multitab browsers such as firefox, opera will have at least one per tab. And so on.
But a hundred or so? Wow... typically I would have maybe 8-10 open.. but I aint the world's keenest browser.

Believe it -- i just checked it again, and it's easily a hundred. I use Firefox, and have some rss tabs... but i can't account for more that 10 connections, based on what you said.

sometimes i open and it's about 8-10 -- and other times 50, and yet other ( like just now) ... 100 approx.

Please go to Jotti's or to virustotal and have these files scanned. Post the results back here.

=========

Can you please do the following.


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

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

Can you please do the following.


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

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


O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinSvr] C:\WINDOWS\system32\tmr\WinTmr.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ugescw] "C:\PROGRA~1\BUGSDE~1\ugescw.exe" -start

O23 - Service: Security_Service - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\TmrService.exe


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


=======

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.

  • Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  • Extract avenger.exe to your desktop

2. Copy all the text (including the 'Files to delete') contained in the code box below to your clipboard by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl+C:

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\TmrService.exe
Folders to delete:
C:\PROGRA~1\BUGSDE~1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tmr


Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

  • Under "Script file to execute" choose "Input Script Manually".
  • Now click on the Magnifying Glass icon which will open a new window titled "View/edit script"
  • Paste the text copied to clipboard into this window by pressing (Ctrl+V).
  • Click Done
  • Now click on the Green Light to begin execution of the script
  • Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.

4. The Avenger will automatically do the following:

  • It will Restart your computer. ( In cases where the code to execute contains "Drivers to Unload", The Avenger will actually restart your system twice.)
  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  • The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.

5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply along with a fresh HJT log by using Add/Reply

further i went and DL'd/installed Zonealarm firewall -- my TCP lines are down to 3-4 --- i think it's good to go, but i'll wait for you to checkout the logfiles before i indicate so.

...... and maybe i spoke too soon. i'm seeing quite a few TCPs still, although more say "TIME WAIT" now....

FYI: as i was leaving my computer, i went to leave Salfeld Child Control ( got at download.com) on, and then zonealarm opened a warning. Evidentally one of the files i removed with Avenger or Hijack this was necessary to run Child Control ( C:\WINDOWS\system32\tmr\WinTmr.exe )

You should be able to restore the file/folder from Avenger's backup folder. Failing that, you may need to download and reinstall. My apologies for that :(.

========

Your log looks clean now :).

no worry the Child Control file, i've taken care of that.

I still get a ton of TCP lines - what do you reckon? time to reformat?

But you know, my pc seems reasonably fast online.

Thats something I really know nothing about. If you tell me how to check it on my pc, I will give it a go and get back to you with my results.

OK - thanks -- much appreciated.
