Hi,

on my computer were installed the following programs:
- avast antivirus
- spayware doctor

Today I noticed that my computer became very slow. When I checked the avas untivirus, I noticed that the exe file was deleted and the same happened with the spyware doctor.

Please find attached hijackthis log file.

Please advise me what to do.

Regards,
Shuki

The symptoms described by — security programs disappearing, severe slowdowns and odd startup/browser remnants reported in diagnostic output — strongly point to a persistent trojan/rootkit that disables or hides removal tools and may also tamper with networking. The initial diagnostics mentioned in the thread were a good first step, but persistence across reboots and a broken wireless stack make offline analysis and containment the priority.

Containment and data preservation come first. The affected machine should be isolated from networks. Important personal files should be backed up to external media only after those files are scanned from a trusted environment or a known-clean machine. Router and other LAN devices should be checked for unexpected DNS or admin changes and reset if anything looks wrong.

For investigation and cleanup, boot the system from trusted, write-protected rescue media and run full scans with tools that include rootkit detection. Inspect startup locations and services with a dedicated autorun/startup inspector and record any unfamiliar entries rather than deleting blindly. Check the Hosts file and look for persistence via scheduled tasks, services, drivers, or WMI. If core OS files or the wireless stack are damaged, repair the system files or reinstall the specific network driver (or remove and let the system redetect the USB adapter). Some repairs require running the OS file-repair utility from recovery media.

If the infection cannot be reliably removed or returns, a clean reinstall of the OS (after securely backing up and scanning personal data) is the most dependable resolution. After recovery, change all passwords from a different, clean device, install a current, reputable security product, enable automatic updates, and maintain regular backups. Preventive measures and periodic checks for unexpected startup items significantly reduce the chance of reinfection.

Hi and welcome to Daniweb :).

Can you please do the following.


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

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


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {54B02808-B60E-44CD-A72D-9865117E4E62} - (no file)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [drvsyskit] C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\hldrrr.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [german.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\wintems.exe


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:


files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wintems.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\hldrrr.exe

-

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.

-

Reboot.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

Hi,

I've done what you asked. The computer still behave the same. Another issue that I would like to mention is that my computer contains a wifi connection (I have a usb wifi adapter which is connected wirless to the modem), before the problem it worked properly (my modem was recognized) but now, I can't se the modem. Instead I receive an unknown connection. When I am trying to view the wirles connection properties, I receive a message:
"Windows cannot configure this wirless connection......"

Please find attached the log file. After running hijackthis again.


Regards,
Shuki

First of all, pease do not attach your logs unless requested. Paste them as you see above.
Secondly, it would help if you posted the new hijackthis log and not the one you originally posted :D.

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from 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.
