Whilst running a Spybot S&D Scan, it picked up the following problem

Microsoft WindowsSecurityCentre_Disabled

I Clicked on the small plus box and this appeared:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc\Start (is not) W=2

I then clicked on the entry under the heading Kind.

This is the entry it takes me to:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2577847814-993760150-4114403836-1007\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603

Under this entry are the following (attached the reuslts- word.doc)

This looks a bit suspicious but I'm not sure. What do you think?

Cheers,

Kash.

Hi,

First, sorry for the delay. Last week was a zoo for me outside of CC. No time to do anything.

Beep may be legit, or may not. We'll find out shortly. I want to bring out some big guns, but first I want to do some HJT cleanup.

1. Run HijackThis again, but this time choose Do a system scan only, that is the second option from the top in the HijackThis What would you like to do choices. After HijackThis completes the system scan, check the box immediately to the left of the following item(s):

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://uk.red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/btyahoo/defaults/sb/*http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/info/bt_side.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://uk.red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/btyahoo/defaults/sp/*http://uk.search.yahoo.com
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://uk.red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/btyahoo/defaults/sb/*http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/info/bt_side.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://uk.red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/btyahoo/defaults/su/*http://uk.search.yahoo.com/
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)

Please be very careful, do NOT check any other boxes.

Next, click on Fix checked on the bottom left side of the HijackThis screen.

Next, reboot.

2. Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then 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, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
Choose your usual account.

Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
(Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).

3. Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your desktop. For information regarding this download, please visit this webpage: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Close any open browsers.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.

Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.

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

4. Please post the following:

a. report.txt from SDFix
b. combofix.txt
c. a fresh HJT log.

Hi there,

See attached logs. When I downloaded SDfix and Combofix, two viruses / trojans infected my system. These two were picked up by an Aluria Scan (also attached). I'll remove combofix and SDfix and re'install. How do you remove them as they don't show in Control Panel- Add/remove software?

Winpatrol File Type Change Alert keeps flashing up
Registry Editor
Microsost Corporation
regedit.exe %1 %

Thanks,

Kash.

Hi, You can accept the change in WinPatrol. That's fine. Are you saying that Aluria said that both CF and SDFix were infected? That's a big false positive. There are components of both that can fool some A/V scanners, but those files are not infected. You can redownload them if you want. To get rid of the ones you have delete CF from your desktop, then delete the SDFix installer and the folder C:\SDFix. Neither is necessary to do, neither is infected. Do not delete ComboFix, we still need it for some more steps. Go to Microsoft's website => http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994 Select the download that's appropriate for your Operating System: XP Pro with SP2. Download the file & save it as it's originally named, next to ComboFix.exe. Now close all open windows and programs, then drag the setup package onto ComboFix.exe and drop it. Follow the prompts to start ComboFix and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Recovery Console. When complete, a log named CF_RC.txt will open. Please post the contents of that log. The log will be quite small, and consist of only a few lines. _________________ Don't read? Can't learn!

Hi,

OK, here's another way to do this step. Download the attached zip file to your C:\ root folder. Next unzip it, and then delete the zip file. It will create a new folder called c:\cmdcons. You do not need to do anything more with that folder.

Next open Notepad, click on Format menu, and uncheck Word Wrap. Next, navigate to the file c:\boot.ini and open it. Copy and paste the text into a new post.

Please tell me what SopCast is. It looks like adware, but I can't seem to verify that.

Hi there, It worked. Results from boot.ini (C:\WINDOWS\pss) this is a backup file. Should it be? [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect The other boot.ini file is in documents and settings. No boot.ini file in the Root of C:\ Sopcast is a good streaming site where one can watch football / soccer amongst many other sports and films. Little bit like TVAnts. Whats the verdict. Cheers.

Hi, Have you set XP to show hidden files, etc? Because your system won't boot without a boot.ini file in the boot partition root folder, and it is set as a hidden system file. Here's how to see hidden and system files: Go to Start>Control Panel and select Folder Options Select the View tab Check: Display the contents of system folders Check: Show hidden files and folders Uncheck: Hide protected operating system files Click on Apply, then close all the open panels. Next, we need to edit the boot.ini file in your root directory, and you do not need to find it or see it to do this. Right click on My Computer and then on Properties. Click on the Advanced tab, then on Startup and Recovery. The topmost box contains a boot.ini editor. Click the Edit button. Using the editor (which is just Notepad but accessed in a special way), go to Format menu, and uncheck Word Wrap. Then copy and then paste the following as the bottom most line in the file followed by <Enter>: C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons Your file should now look like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons Copy and paste it so I can check it. I'll be waiting. After I check to make sure it is right, you can save the file it should automatically be set to save to your root folder. Next, change the "Time to display list of operating systems to 3 from the 30 it currently is. Here's what this does. From now on, each time you boot, your system will pause for three seconds while offering a choice of whether to boot to either Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Microsoft Windows Recovery Console. The default and automatic choice is to boot to XP. But, if we need the recovery console in an emergency, we can now get there via the modified boot sequence. _________________ Don't read?

Oops, I forgot one thing. In this line: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect change /noexecute=optin to: /noexecute=optout. Sorry about that. Remember to leave a space between the "t" in optout and the following "/". _________________ Don't read? Can't learn!
