runmgr.exe (Trojan.Win32.Qhost.kfv):
I got this Crap from a College Computer, I've got a Lot of Homework to Do within These 2 Weeks and I Need to Get Rid of This BS ASAP!!

I Already Disabled System Restore for All Drives, Deleted Temporary Internet Files for All Users, Using Flash Disinfector for My USBs (That's How I got it), Erased All runmgr Named Files I Could Find, Deleted Recycler from My Slave HD (I cannot Get Rid of Recycler from C:, Can I Delete System Volume Information on Both Drives?), Kaspersky 2009 has been Running for 7½ Hours and cannot Finish, I Click Over runmgr.exe on C: and Kaspersky AV 2009 Says it's Clean!!

Kaspersky.com Claims The Update has Already been Released, Which is Untrue (13 July 2008):
http://www.kaspersky.com/viruswatchlite?search_virus=qhost

The Thing Keeps Spawning Over and Over Again, I don't Have The Time for Hundred Logs, I Need a Solution, Please Katana, I'm in a Rush for Homework Making (Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and InDesign), I Need The Solution.

- Thanks.

    Please can I point you to the forum rules
    while we appreciate you trying to help please leave the spyware advice to the approved spyware removers here, any advice given by non-SVR staff will be removed.

    Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

    If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.

    Hello and welcome to the forums

    My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

    Please observe these rules while we work:
    1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
    2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
    (Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

    If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly :D

    Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
    Be assured, any links I give are safe

    I don't Have The Time for Hundred Logs, I Need a Solution, Please Katana, I'm in a Rush
    ChargerSRT8,

    I understand that you are upset by malware being on your machine, but unfortunately the only way I can clean it is by you posting logs that I request.
    There is no quick solution to remove this infection, as you have seen yourself it changes file names.
    It will take as many logs as I think are needed, no more and certainly no less.

    You need to stop anything that you are doing to try and remove it, and let me give you instructions.
    If you can do this, that is fine. If you can't, then you will be wasting my time as well as your own.


    Click here to download HJTinstall.exe
    • Save HJTinstall.exe to your desktop.
    • Double click on the HJTinstall.exe icon on your desktop.
    • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Hijack This.
    • Click I accept
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
    • Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
    • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
    • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
    • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.




    Download and Run ComboFix (by sUBs)
    Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:

    Bleeping Computer ComboFix Tutorial

    Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that, along with a new HijackThis log.

    A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.
    ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper

    No problems.... I was only trying to help ..... the advice I found here was good and pointed in the right direction, however did not clean the problem.

    I do understand ...

    I am not a "Spyware Graduate", but I have a BS and MS in EE and have over 50 professional certification in the field .... Again my apologies, I was only trying to help.

    a Keylogger is Active, KAV 2009 Cannot do Anything About it...
    Does KAV say where this keylogger is ?

    IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Person to Person) File Sharing Programs on your computer.

    Azureus
    Ares
    emule


    I'd like you to read the Guidelines for P2P Programs where we explain why it's not a good idea to have them.

    Also available here.

    My recommendation is you go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the programs listed above (in red).
    Please note: you must NOT use this whilst we are cleaning your machine.




    Custom CFScript
    • Please open Notepad (Start -> Run -> type notepad in the Open field -> OK) and copy and paste the text present inside the code box below:
      File::
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\msltstsoft_updt.exe
      Registry::
      [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Microsoft WinUpdate]
      ADS::
      
    • Save this as CFScript.txt and place it on your desktop.


      CFScript.gif
    • Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
    • ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
    • When finished, it will produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.


    CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
    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.

    A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix on your own. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.
    ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper





    Installed Programs

    Please could you give me a list of the programs that are installed.
    • Start HijackThis
    • Click on the Misc Tools button
    • Click on the Open Uninstall Manager button.

    You will see a list with the programs installed in your computer.
    Click on save list button and specify where you would like to save this file.
    When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file.
    Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad into your next post.

    Active Scan
    Your Antivirus and/or Antispyware may give a warning during the scan. This is perfectly normal
    Please go to this site Link >> ActiveScan << LINK
    • Click the Scan Now button
    • Follow the prompts to install the Active X if necessary
    • Go and make a cup of tea/coffee/beverage of your choice and watch some TV :)
    • When the scan is finished, a report will be generated
    • Next to Scan Details click the small Save button and save the report to your desktop.
    • Please post the report in your reply.

    Uh huh, and Then..? That Thing Spawned within The runmgr.exe Stuff that Entered Through My USB, I'm Struggling Since Then... The Guy From The Computer Room in My College Realized Recently that "There's an Infection", He's Still Dealing with it.

    Are You Gonna Help Me, or I Wasted 7 Hours of Log Crap...?
  • edited July 2008
    You have not wasted any time at all, I have.
    Those files were not created by the infection. I know this for two reasons
    1) If they were created by the infection there would be more information about the file/folder names on the internet.
    2) At least three of those files have been there for over three months.
    I don't provide help for those using any form of cracked software or Operating Systems.

    In doing the crack, the 'cracker' has broken the 'End User Licence Agreement' (EULA) of the product.
    The distribution and use of cracked copies is illegal in almost every developed country.
    They are also one of the biggest causes of infection.

    This applies to Cracks, Keygens and Warez

    In the future I strongly suggest you stay away from using cracks and/or Keygens.
    The "Keylogger" that Kaspersky is detecting is your keyboard driver. Click "Add To Exclusions"



    Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.

    Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.

    Updating Java:
    Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u7
    http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
    Scroll down to where it says "The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 update 7 allows end-users to run Java applications".
    Click the "Download" button to the right.
    Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
    The page will refresh.
    Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
    Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
    Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
    Check for any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.

    The following is some info to help you stay safe and clean.
    ( Vista users must ensure that any programs are Vista compatible BEFORE installing )

    You may already have some of the following programs, but I include the full list for the benefit of all the other people who will be reading this thread in the future.

    Online Scanners
    I would recommend a scan at one or more of the following sites at least once a month.

    http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan
    http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/71706/kavwebscan.html

    !!! Make sure that all your programs are updated !!!
    Secunia Software Inspector does all the work for you, .... see HERE for details

    AntiSpyware
    • AntiSpyware is not the same thing as Antivirus.
      Different AntiSpyware programs detect different things, so in this case it is recommended that you have more than one.
      You should only have one running all the time, the other/s should be used "on demand" on a regular basis.
      Most of the programs in this list have a free (for Home Users ) and paid versions,
      it is worth paying for one and having "realtime" protection, unless you intend to do a manual scan often.
    • Spybot - Search & Destroy <<< A must have program
      • It includes host protection and registry protection
      • A hosts file is a bit like a phone book, it points to the actual numeric address (i.e. the IP address) from the human friendly name of a website. This feature can be used to block malicious websites
    • MalwareBytes Anti-malware <<< A New and effective program
    • a-squared Free <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
    • superantispyware <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner


    Prevention
    • These programs don't detect malware, they help stop it getting on your machine in the first place.
      Each does a different job, so you can have more than one
    • Winpatrol
      • An excellent startup manager and then some !!
      • Notifies you if programs are added to startup
      • Allows delayed startup
      • A must have addition
    • SpywareBlaster 4.0
      • SpywareBlaster sets killbits in the registry to prevent known malicious activex controls from installing themselves on your computer.
    • SpywareGuard 2.2
      • SpywareGuard provides real-time protection against spyware.
      • Not required if you have other "realtime" antispyware or Winpatrol
    • ZonedOut
      • Formerly known as IE-SPYAD, adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers and marketers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer.
    • MVPS HOSTS
      • This little program packs a powerful punch as it blocks ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
      • For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by WinHelp2002.
      • Not required if you are using other host file protections


    Internet Browsers
    • Microsoft has worked hard to make IE.7 a more secure browser, unfortunately whilst it is still the leading browser of choice it will always be under attack from the bad guys.
      Using a different web browser can help stop malware getting on your machine.
      • 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.
          • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
          • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
          • Change the Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
          • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
          • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
          • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
          • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
          • 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.

      If you are still using IE6 then either update, or get one of the following.
      • FireFox
        • With many addons available that make customization easy this is a very popular choice
        • NoScript and AdBlockPlus addons are essential
      • Opera
        • Another popular alternative
      • Netscape
        • Another popular alternative
        • Also has Addons available


    Cleaning Temporary Internet Files and Tracking Cookies
    • Temporary Internet Files are mainly the files that are downloaded when you open a web page.
      Unfortunately, if the site you visit is of a dubious nature or has been hacked, they can also be an entry point for malware.
      It is a good idea to empty the Temporary Internet Files folder on a regular basis.

      Tracking Cookies are files that websites use to monitor which sites you visit and how often.
      A lot of Antispyware scanners pick up these tracking cookies and flag them as unwanted.
      CAUTION :- If you delete all your cookies you will lose any autologin information for sites that you visit, and will need your passwords

      Both of these can be cleaned manually, but a quicker option is to use a program
    • ATF Cleaner
      • Free and very simple to use
    • CCleaner
      • Free and very flexible, you can chose which cookies to keep


    Also PLEASE read this article.....So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place

    The last and most important thing I can tell you is UPDATE.
    If you don't update your security programs (Antivirus, Antispyware even Windows) then you are at risk.
    Malware changes on a day to day basis. You should update every week at the very least.
