Greetings,
I've searched for 2 weekends now on solutions to the problem I am having with my son's relatively new computer (arrived 9/10/07).
I've tried numerous suggestions from numerous sites (mainly this one) and I'm still unable to get a desktop in normal start up mode. I can in Safe Mode.
I did the cleanup methods described in the forum starter notes. There were 3 downloaders and a trojan present on the computer that I had hoped AVG would take complete care of, but my system is still not loading the desktop in normal startup mode.

I ran HiJackThis and have this log:

did u install any new program or hardware recently

the following items below are all suspect.
ENSURE YOU BACK UP ANY REG KEY BEFORE EDITING.
seeing that you can start in safe mode remove all these items, do search for the file name, remove reg entries, then run adaware, spybot and any malware program u have in safe mode. then do a bootlog startup, if this is not not able to help check the log and see where the error is. if after u still can't boot to normal mode you might have to do a repair of windows,

My son just got the computer a few weeks ago and has been loading all sorts of games and software on it. He also does online RPGs -- I suspect that may be where the nasties may have originated.

Thanks very much for your suggestions. I'm in the process of scanning after removing the items you listed.

Holy cows! AVG is still plugging away and has found 686 (so far) instances of files infected with win32/virut. The AVG spyware scanner found 49 instances of trojans, downloaders, rootkits, etc. I haven't even started AdAware or SpyBot yet.

The PC came running OEM WinXP and the disk sent with the system is for Windows Vista. We don't want to install Vista because it is incompatible all the games he wants to run. System restore refused to work (probably because of the infections). I may have to research making an XP boot disk next.

I'll let you know what happens once all these scans d their thing.
Thank you!

Ugh -- the scans literally took hours.

Results -- 49+ trojans, downloaders, backdoors, and 8886 Win32/Virut infected files. I was sure AVG was going to make the PC self-ooze a plastic hermetic shield to quarantine the infections.

Interestingly, the virus did not show up until after deleting some of the suspicious entries in the HiJackThis log. I had already done multiple scans with AVG and SpyBot and other tools.

Unfortunately, even after fixing with AVG's Win32/Virut remover, there are still "uncleaned" files, and the nasties in the posted HJT log keep showing back up despite deletion. The "restore" was totally infested.

Since it is the "workweek" now and between work (2 jobs) and class I don't have a lot of time at my machine or others, I will devote myself more to ridding the PC of these pesky nasties Friday through Sunday. Woohoo -- another weekend of nerdy fun.... It is really a challenge -- I hope I win it!

I am still able to boot in safe mode but unable to in normal mode. (I get to the desktop, but no icons, task manager will not actually load, etc.)

If anyone has further suggestions, I'd appreciate them!
Thank you!

with some of the files listed in windows or windows/system32 they have a nasty way of coming back even when you delete them so the only way around it to do the spyware/awadare scans. also delete any instance of a restore point and turn it off for now as any thing that saved will be infected too. make sure to manually delet all cookies and temp files. i know it can be painstakingly long, i had to deal with it once took me 2 days but back then i had time. keep at it did u try righ click on the desktop and show desktop icon

PS did u get a set of restore cd with the PC?

I turned off system restore, and after numerous scans and multiple AVG virus fixer programs run in safe mode, I was finally able to boot in normal mode. Once in normal mode I was able to actually run AVG virus scanner which found 47 more instances of viruses, trojans, and downloaders. AVG spyware was finally able to get rid of one of the pesky files that kept reappearing. I'm not going to call it completely cured yet -- I want to run additional scans tomorrow just to be sure -- but I'm thrilled the desktop is finally back and functioning. I'm going to wait till after running additional scans before rehooking to the internet and the home network.

The restore CD that came with the PC is Windows Vista -- I did not want to restore with that. The machine came running Windows XP. That's the OS that my son's games work on -- they will not run on Vista.

Thanks again for your help and guidance!

you are welcome, keep running the spyware/antivirus, i know its a log process, but it's worth it. bare in mind also you need to update the scan engine of each program you are running.

Note that it is essential that after fixing any 04 entry with hijackthis, that you must delete the related file!! Same goes for the 020 and others.

==

1. Download this file from one of the following links :

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/combofix.exe

2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply, along with a new hijackthis log.

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Unfortunately CombFix will not run on the machine. It ran fine on my PC, but on my son's (infected) PC it flashes 2 cmd prompt screens too quickly to see then closes. I tried in both normal mode and safe mode.
The nasty files are not letting me manually delete in either safe mode or normal mode. Checking them to be fixed in HiJackThis does nothing -- immediate re-scanning shows they are still there. (Particularly persistant file basesr.dll .)
I'm scanning with Kapersky antivirus right now. I'll re-try HiJackThis and ComboFix once that scan completes. (The scan seems very slow -- stops for many minutes on certain files.)

Well, Kapersky found 119 more problems. After cleaning, I still cannot get ComboFix to run.

When I briefly hooked to the home network to transfer the HJT log, Kapersky detected a hidden install and stopped the process.

Some nasty is still residing on the machine, not letting me fix things with HiJackThis nor to manually delete them.

Suggestions?

Thank you!

Note that combofix will not (AFAIK) run in safe mode anyway. Hijackthis will not be able to 'fix' any entries as long as you have any instances of Internet Explorer open too.
You need to disable one of those AV's from startup too as it is not recommended to run two at once.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2A5E9D6E-869C-4140-9C09-C3FA34134658} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\basesr.dll

another tip any program in add remove that your dont recognized remove them any broswer addon/tool bar remove them, all of them any search engines remove them. these can all be added back when you are safe again.

because here is the thing if the program is install and u remove the file associated with it each restart will only bring it back especially the nasties

The Jotti and virustotal scans of basesr.dll (which has a file size of 103kb on the PC) gave the following results:

The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file

I still cannot delete it or overwrite it -- access denied.

I scanned suspicious looking basesr.1 file (size 89kb) just above it and got this result at virustotal and similar at Jotti:

I deleted it.

I did the registry fixes -- had to copy the regedit.exe from my PC on to the infected one to get it to open. Did the .exe and zip registry fixes first (since other registry zip files would not unzip and register), but then went throught the whole list fine.

Ran VundoFix and got this:

The PC is certainly performing much better than it had been (not surprising with more than 1000 malwares removed!!)

I still could not get ComboFix to run.

Does it look like I still have more cleaning to do?

Thank you for all your help. And Crunchie, the registry fix site was excellent!

u still have that basesr.ll listed as a browser hijack. but u have come a very long way. you are one patient person. good for u and yes u still have more cleaving to do. i suggest u use an online scan leave it to run overnight kapersky has a good one

And this bit?

==

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) - {2A5E9D6E-869C-4140-9C09-C3FA34134658} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\basesr.dll


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\basesr.dll


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

==

Try running Combofix as Administrator if you were not already.

The safe mode AVG anti-spyware report is in the previous reply just above the HJT log. It found nothing.

Avenger was unable to delete basesr.dll . I tried in normal and safe mode with the same result. HiJackThis was unable to remove the file still too. (Log below.)

I found I could get ComboFix to run by overwriting the cmd.exe and regedit.exe files on the infected PC with ones from my PC. However, at stage 17 the system would blue screen crash and reboot itself. (ComboFix does run in safe mode BTW -- tried it both ways with the same crash at stage 17 result.)

I downloaded and ran Dr.Web CureIt -- the express scan instantly grabbed basesr.dll as trojan.sentinel and moved it. (Said it was incurable.) It also deleted 2 other files as trojan.sentinel. I decided to run the complete scan with it and it found the AVG virus vault stuff and some other infected files on the PC. It cured, quarantined, and deleted as needed.

After that process I was able to run ComboFix without crashing. (Log below.)

I've discovered I am (as Administrator) locked out of the User Center in the Control Panel. Any way to change that?!? Result of the infections, apparently.

I ran HiJackThis again (renamed gotcha.exe) and was still unable to get rid of
O23 - Service: Volume Shadow Copy VSSThemes (VSSThemes) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\4dbb33d0t.exe (file missing)

That file is not in C:\WINDOWS\system32 , but 4dbb33d0.exe is (no "t" on the end.)

I would also do an online scan of any unrecognised files under the Files Created from 2007-09-21 to 2007-10-21 and the Find3M Report in Combofix to make sure there are no nasties.
http://virusscan.jotti.org/ http://www.virustotal.com/en/virustotalf.html

The fix.bat got rid of the offending file. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I went online to do the online scans and was "attacked" almost instantly -- remote disabling of Kapersky Anti-virus, files being and modules added -- I had to pull the plug on the internet.
Unfortunately, files/modules seem to have gotten through. :( It was amazing how fast it was.... I'm wary of rebooting (or shutting down at all) for fear of not getting back into the machine.

I'll start again with the scans and clean up. I'll post a new HJT log (hopefully) by Wednesday evening.
*sigh*

I ran all sorts of scans.
I updated the scanners that I could, but the nasties have disabled Firefox and IE is MIA. Some of the update processes simply say "no connection detected" and fail. SOmetimes when I (very quickly) plug into the internet connection, the entire display screen turns sickly yellow/green, so I've been avoiding plugging in as much as possible.

New HJT, Silent Runner, and ComboFix logs below.

New HJT log
(I have the logs in Safe Mode also, but I'll post the Normal mode ones -- let me know if you want to see the Safe Mode versions.)
BTW, the Google updater service (gusvc) is suspicious -- the folder is not on the machine and HJT cannot "fix" the 023 service entry.

I guess I need to disable (again) some of the anti-virus scanners (or maybe uninstall?) They appear to all be starting despite being turned off....

Is it possible to clean up this mess?
Thank you for you time and input. I hope we can trump the bad 'uns!

I would also do an online scan of any unrecognised files under the Files Created from 2007-09-21 to 2007-10-21 and the Find3M Report in Combofix to make sure there are no nasties.
http://virusscan.jotti.org/ http://www.virustotal.com/en/virustotalf.html

Suggest you do this as well. There are quite a lot of suspicious looking files in there and it would take me an hour to list them all :).

I tried scanning a bunch of those and kept getting a result of "0 kb file, malware may be preventing you from uploading the file". I did not get through the entire list because of the attacks. I'll try reinstalling Firefox and scanning again. (I suspect most of the list is bad stuff unfortunately :( .)

Sometimes it is hard to sort out the good from the bad too as a lot of legitimate files have gobbledegook names too :(

Thanks to assistance from crunchie and bobbyraw, and extreme patience and dilligent scanning and careful elimination of "nasties", the issue has been solved without reformating and resinatallation of Win XP.
When you get the newest mutations of viruses and trojans, it sometimes just takes patience and diligent updating and continuous scanning with the tools available to conquer the bugs a PC can pick up.
Thank you for the assistance and tools to rescue my son's machine!

No worries :D.
