Hello,

I've got the qoolaid trojan downloader and can't get rid of it. Norton and Ewido etc. find it and can't delete it. I go through safe mode and still can't delete them manually. Here is my hijackthis log. Any help would be great. My systems are the identification of the qoolaid downloaders, constant pop ups and fillable forms- for when you are asked to put in an email address turn yellow. :cry: Thanks.

Persistent downloader infections like this commonly survive on-access scans by installing resilient autostart components and hiding or packing their binaries. and @baskar1234 followed the right triage path with targeted finders; those steps expose many common autostart points. Because scanners reported detections but deletion failed even after basic measures, the next phase is focused: determine exactly how the payload starts (service, scheduled task, BHO/DLL hook, or startup entry), stop that autostart mechanism, then remove the on-disk binary from outside the running Windows environment.

Practical tooling and checks that help at that stage: Autoruns to enumerate every autostart entry and reveal exact image paths; Process Explorer to inspect the process tree, loaded DLLs and open handles; an offline rootkit/driver scanner for hidden components. The Windows services registry key for each service (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<name>\ImagePath) is especially useful to confirm where a suspicious service actually lives. From an elevated prompt or a recovery console, common low-level actions include stopping the service/process, clearing read-only/hidden attributes and deleting the file:

attrib -s -h -r "C:\path\to\suspect.exe"
taskkill /f /im suspect.exe
del /f /q "C:\path\to\suspect.exe"
sc stop "SuspiciousService"
sc delete "SuspiciousService"

If the component respawns or files remain locked, use a clean rescue environment (AV rescue media or a Linux live CD/USB). Booting external media prevents the malware from running and allows safe removal. Back up only personal documents (avoid copying executables, screensavers or scripts), scan backups on a known-clean machine before restoring, and submit uncertain binaries to multi-engine scanners for verification.

When persistence cannot be broken, a full wipe and reinstall is the only guaranteed cure. Before doing that, export lists of installed programs/drivers and copy personal data safely; after reinstalling, rotate all passwords and credentials that were stored or used on the compromised machine. The previous tools in the thread were appropriate first passes; escalation to Autoruns/Process Explorer and an offline rescue environment is the recommended next step.

Have you updated Ewido's reference file, booted into safe mode and let it remove what it finds? Ewido does remove this infection.

Can you please do the following.

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

Run HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:


R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL =
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar =
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page =

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winsync] C:\WINNT\System32\skx4gg.exe reg_run

O20 - Winlogon Notify: NavLogon - C:\WINNT\

O23 - Service: Command Service (cmdService) - Unknown owner - C:\WINNT\YnVja3IA\command.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:

folders...

C:\WINNT\YnVja3IA

files...

C:\WINNT\System32\skx4gg.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 "".

-

Reboot.

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

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

Hi Crunchie,

My Ewido was last updated 10-31-05. It, Norton, and pretty much everythign finds it and can't delete. I did try in safe mode as well. I ran hijack this and ticked what you suggested however both:

C:\WINNT\YnVja3IA

files...

C:\WINNT\System32\skx4gg.exe

were not present and I do have my computer set to view all files. Here is my fresh hijack this log. Any thoughts as to why I couldn't get rid of this with Ewido?

Please download the attachment FindQoologic by baskar1234. Unzip the folder and go to the new qoologic folder and doubleclick on qoologic.bat to run it. It will take a few minutes to scan your drive so be patient. When it has finished, open My Computer, doubleclick on C: and copy and paste the contents of the below logs in this thread.

C:\log.txt
C:\win.txt
C:\start.txt

Not sure why Ewido hasn't cleaned it, it should. Does it find the file when in safe mode?

Hmmm. I let the program finish but the only file I see is the win.txt and log.txt logs. I believe the MRT files are ones that I got from my friend. I set up a folder to get his files from him (through AIM) so I coudl put them on a disk- they were just pictures and word documents though (this guy would never intenionally send me anything bad). What do you think?

C:\Documents and Settings\buckr\Desktop\qoologic

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FILES FOUND BY THIS METHOD ARE NOT BAD FILES, THERE MIGHT BE LEGIT FILES LISTED AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHILE FIXING. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT IT IS LEAVE THEM ALONE.

the start.txt file was blank

Please run these instead as that doesn't show anything. Better to be safe :).

  • Download WinPFind
    • Right Click the Zip Folder and Select "Extract All"
    • Extract it somewhere you will remember like the Desktop
    • Dont do anything with it yet!
  • Download Track qoo
    • Save it somewhere you will remember like the Desktop

Reboot into Safe Mode
Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.

Doubleclick WinPFind.exe

  • Click "Start Scan"
  • It will scan the entire System, so please be patient!
  • Once the Scan is Complete
    1. Go to the WinPFind folder
    2. Locate WinPFind.txt
    3. Place those results in the next post!

Reboot back to Normal Mode!

Double Click on "Track qoo.vbs"

Note - If your Antivirus has Script Blocking, you will get a Pop Up Window asking you what to do. Allow this Entire Script to run, its harmless!

Wait a few seconds and a notepad page will pop up, Copy & Paste those results and place them in the next post along with the results of WinPFind!
