Question

14 Years Ago

renaming it to zappa.exe still causes it to crash while scanning and spyware doctor wont connect to the internet/wont work at all
Looks like reformatting is rearing its head in :[

There are a few options I would like to try, but I have to get back to work and won't be back until Monday night at the earliest.
-- I'd like to try to get Safe Boot back as an option.
-- Also, I'd like to get a look at the files that have been added in the last 15 days or so.
I can probably put something together for you Monday night.
Or, maybe one of the other volunteers can jump in....

Try the following for safe mode;
Download SafeBootKeyRepair.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop.

Double-click SafeBootKeyRepair.exe to run it. Follow any prompts that may appear then post the log it produces.

If you like, we can try this to have a better look at what is going on. This is an old tool that I wrote some time ago and if you can get it to run, it might help us see what we are missing.
This is a strictly "Run at your own risk" proposition:

Download PKBOO.zip and EXTRACT the PKBOO Folder to your C:\ Drive

Open a command prompt with Command.com

TYPE C:\PKBOO\PKBOO.bat ENTER

It should run for a few seconds and then pop up with a log. Please post that for us.

I will try to check back Monday Evening as time permits.

Best Luck :)

So sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you have a nasty backdoor trojan with rootkit components.
This thing is far worse than Windows Police Pro - If you do any sort of online banking, there is a good chance your info has been compromised. Definitely check your banks, credit cards, etc. and change any passwords.

In cases such as this, I generally recommend a re-format because, even if we are able to clean the machine, you'll never be able to trust it......

Sorry! TYPO!
Do this:
Command Prompt
TYPE DIR /x "C:\PROGRA~1" >> C:\LOGIT.txt ENTER
Navigate to C:\LOGIT.txt and post that for me.

The first command didn't work in command prompt, however I found the LOGIT text file anyway. The spyware doc directory seems to be SPYWAR~1
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is DCF9-B69E

The first command didn't work in command prompt, however I found the LOGIT text file anyway.

So . . . . It worked :)

I added something to my last post RE MBA-M. Try that.
If it doesn't run when you click on it, use the command prompt:

Type C:\PROGRA~1\MALWAR~1\zappa.exe ENTER

KK, I'm gonna look into getting safe booting back. I dont know anything about the files though

There were no prompts/no log, the virus blocks .exe's i think

Atecks 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 6 · 2009-08-31T22:05:24+00:00

I did 2 quick MBAM scans where I aborted and removed everything that was on there. I can now use .exe's, command prompt, etc. I'm doing a full MBAM scan now and will post results

Ok, so most traces of it are gone. I still cant do a full MBAM scan(or a full quick one for that matter) without blue screening. I also cant do a full spyware doc run without it blue screening as well. However, I did do a intelli scan on spyware doc and 2 quick scans on MBAM where I got rid of a bunch of different infections. I still get some popup's and svchasts.exe is still in the processes, so it didn't get fully removed

Atecks 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 7 · 2009-08-31T23:10:22+00:00

also, I couldn't get a PKBOO log file because it had trouble running, I did run HJT though

well, that blows; I have a bunch of sensitive info as well as a bunch of online transactions, however everything seems the same

I'm going to change everything on another computer, and then re-format this one whenever I find the disk

Thanks alot for your help, and everyone else that helped too

Thanks alot for your help, and everyone else that helped too

Happy to help:)

I may have been a bit premature in calling for you to format - I am finding that these infections tend to have all sorts of rootkit components.

If you like, we can try to clean it. But I still stand by my last post and the severity of the infection shown.

Be very careful putting things on another compy - I'm not sure that is a good idea, given the nature of this baddie.

Are you able to get combofix to run as per the linky below?

Try that and post a log, if possible.

I already formatted(I pretty much needed to already, the computer was cluttered, blue screening very often, etc.) I backed up everything important, and this time I'm gonna keep everything secure. Right now, I'm just trying to set up my internet access(on my PC) since it seems to have been removed or something(I'm gonna go seek help on the appropriate board/forum)

All things considered, that is probably for the best because the rootkit on your machine is one of the nastier ones - I am not seeing it on the other machines with similar problems, so you very well may have picked that up some time ago.

Best Luck :)
