zlob.Downloader got me good

edited February 2009 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi guys, I really hope to avoid a reinstall since from my reading, that may not even fix this.

I followed the instructions here but RougeRemover errors upon trying to update and a scan in safe mode comes up clean.
Spybot finds this registry entry which I cannot remove via regedit no matter what.
Zlob.Downloader.bit: [SBI $0ACBECCF] Root class (Registry key, fixing failed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Pornovid

Issues:
- Most all banners are replaced with a VIMAX penis ad.
- The first click on most pages is hijacked into throwing a popup
- god knows what else I'm being used as a drone for.

      Hi,

      That usually means they are bad.

      Please do the following...

      1. Open HijackThis
      - Click the Do a system scan only button
      - Check the following entries (below)

      O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdepu.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdepu.exe
      O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdhyo.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdhyo.exe

      C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdepu.exe

      When you are asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?", click NO.
      Repeat these steps for the following file(s) and this time, when you reach the end, click OK:

      C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdhyo.exe

      Your PC MUST reboot to delete the files!

      3. Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

          I got to step 3, waited 5.5 hrs for it to finish the scan and explorer (windows, not IE) restarted on me so I'm going to have to try again tonight.

          Just FYI though, I ran kaspersky through firefox and the online scanner didn't have all the settings you listed.

          Here is what I saw:

          Detect malicious programs of the following categories:
          • Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, Rootkits
          • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
          Scan compound files (doesn't apply to the File scan area):
          • Archives
          • Mail databases

          and I checked all of them.

          Sorry for the delay.

          Did you manage to run Kaspersky again?
        • edited February 2009
          Ok Finally got a kaspersky scan done. Just a little background, while watching the scan that caused explorer to restart I noticed kaspersky had found some problems in a really old backup folder on an external drive. To speed up the scan this time I deleted that folder and emptied my recycle bin. That resulted in a clean scan. I just thought I'd mention that in case it made a difference on your next instruction. Again, I really appreciate you taking the time.

          Hi,

          Logs are clean. How is the computer running?
        • edited February 2009
          Running much better. No Vimax ads, no stolen clicks. I think we might have licked it.
          Many many thanks to your selfless attention.

          You are most welcome, and thank you for the kind words.

          You can keep or uninstall HijackThis; it is your choice. If you keep HijackThis, ensure it does not get used in the wrong manner, as it is a powerful tool and not to be used lightly.

          I strongly recommend keeping Malwarebytes' and running regular scans with it. Make sure to update it first.

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

          Now that your system is clean, kindly follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

          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.
          (Vista users must ensure that any programs are Vista compatible BEFORE installing )


          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

          Windows Updates (a must!)
          It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. You can either click on the link above and bookmark the updates page, or open Internet Explorer, then go to the Tools menu -> Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there


          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 these articles: So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place and Malware Prevention: Prevent Re-infection

          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.

          If you follow this advice then (with a bit of luck) you will never have to hear from me again :D


          If you could post back one more time to let me know everything is OK, then I can have this thread archived.

          Happy surfing!
