Infected by Sohanad (removed now?), HJT log included

Calypze

Today I made a scan with a-squared Free 3.0, and it found a worm called IM-Worm.Win32.Sohanad.t that had infected D:\hp\apps\APP10383\src\setup.exe. I chose to quarantine the object as a-squared do give false positives from time to time, so I don't know if it is correct in this case. What do you think I should do with this quarantined file?

Malware do not rarely bring some "fellowship with them. To make sure I'm fine, I post a HJT log. So please tell me if the log is ok, or if there is any special program I should scan with or so. Thank you!

Here is the log:

Hi!

have you got any problems after quarantining D:\hp\apps\APP10383\src\setup.exe ?

Your log is clean

But, it would be best to make sure that your comp is clean:

Please do a scan with ESET Online Scanner
Note: The scan will only work with Internet Explorer

• Once you are on the ESET site, check the box "Yes, I accept the Terms of Use" and click Start
• Accept the ActiveX by clicking the yellow bar at the top
• Install the software when prompted
• Read the Welcome notice and then click Start to download the necessary components
• When download is complete, make sure Remove found threats stays UNchecked
• Click Start to beign the scan
• Once the scan is completed, you can close it.
• The results found here: C:/program files/esetonlinescanner/log.txt. Please, post that log back here.

Calypze

Thank you.

No, I don't think that I have had any additional problems since I quarantined that file.

Here is the log from the scan:

Ok. Looks that your computer is clean.

I think it's better to keep that file in quarantine.

Log looks clean...great job!

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

1. Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and reenable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.
   
   You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:
   
   Managing Windows Millenium System Restore
   
   or
   
   Windows XP System Restore Guide
   
   Renable system restore with instructions from tutorial above
   
   
2. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
   1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
   2. Click once on the Security tab
   3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
   4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
      1. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
         
      2. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
         
      3. Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
         
      4. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
         
      5. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
         
      6. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
         
      7. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
         
      8. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
   5. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
3. Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
   
   See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:
   
   Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
   
   
4. Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
   
   
5. Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
   
   For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
   
   Understanding and Using Firewalls
   
   
6. Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
   
   
7. Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
   
   A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
   
   Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers
   
   
8. Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
   
   A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
   
   Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer
   
   
9. Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
   
   A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
   
   Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
   
   
10. Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.

Calypze

Thank you. I applied the information you gave that I didn't already know, like for example the IE settings. Also the links were interesting and helpful.

As I got Windows Vista, how do I disable and enable system restore? Or should I not do so with Vista?

Other than that... a-squared found the Trojan Trojan.Win32.Agent.awg during a routinely scan two days ago. I quarantined it and since that neither Avira Anti-Vir (the free version) nor the Kaspersky Online Scanner has found anything. Is there anything more I should do about it?

How to disable and enable windows restore in vista:
Here

If you think that in your computer may be other viruses, run some one/two online scanners. (eset, fsecure, kaspersky..)

Ok, thank you.
