Win32/Spy.Ursnif.A virus
I'm running XP and have been receiving the following error message from eset NOD32 for four days now:
Object:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
Threat:
Win32/Spy.Ursnif.A Virus
Comment:
Event occurred during at attempt to run the file by the application:
C:\Program Files\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe.
When I try to clean or delete, I am informed that this object cannot be cleaned. I tried running malwarebytes without effect. I read someone recommending ComboFix, but it is stressed that that not be used without guidance. I'm getting the feeling this is not good news for me and my privacy (Gulp!), so here is my plea for help. Thanks in advance.

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:
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)
If you can do those few things, everything should go smoothly
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
==============================WARNING==============================
There is some evidence of what may be a very nasty infection.
If the Computer has been used for any important data, you are strongly advised to do the following, immediately:
- If you have ever used this computer for shopping, banking, or any transactions relating to your financial well being:
- From a clean computer, change ALL your online passwords -- for ISP login, email, banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, and any online forums or groups you belong to.
- DO NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new password and transaction information.
- Take any other steps you think appropriate for an attempted identity theft.
==============================WARNING==============================Call all of your banks, credit card companies, and financial institutions, informing them that you may be a victim of identity theft, and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.
Step 1
Download and Run ComboFix (by sUBs)
Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:
Bleeping Computer ComboFix Tutorial
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
Step 2
Installed Programs
Please could you give me a list of the programs that are installed.
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.
Logs/Information to Post in Reply
Please post the following logs/Information in your reply
Thanks for the reply and help. Tonight I can't get the infected computer on line. I'm writing this from my mac book. I had already downloaded ComboFix yesterday, without running it yet. I assume I can transfer the log to disk and send it to you from this computer. Probably the same thing with the HiJack log. I had not downloaded the windows recovery program, however. Is it necessary or just for protection? Perhaps I can take the chance without it. Or will it be possible to download the windows recovery program and/or the hijack program to this computer and save it to disk for uploading onto the infected computer? Will I need to zip it? I can do these things, but I am on the edge of what I know the entire time.
I still have hopes of getting the infected computer on line. If I don't, I won't do anything else until I hear from you. Is it possible you can still help me out without the infected computer being able to get on line?
Thanks again. Your help is a life-saver. I'd have no chance without it.

Kaspersky Online Scanner .
Your Antivirus and/or Antispyware may give a warning during the scan. This is perfectly normal

NOTE:- Vista users should start IE by Start(Vista Orb) >> Internet Explorer >> Right-Click Run As Admin
Go Here http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/default/kavwebscan.html
Read the Requirements and limitations before you click Accept.
Once the database has downloaded, click My Computer in the left pane
Now go and put the kettle on !
When the scan has completed, click Save Report As...
Enter a name for the file in the Filename: text box and then click the down arrow to the right of Save as type: and select text file (*.txt)
Click Save - by default the file will be saved to your Desktop, but you can change this if you wish.
**Note**
To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.

Additional Notes
Your Adobe Acrobat Reader is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Adobe Reader is a large program and uses unnecessary space.
If you prefer a smaller program you can get Foxit 3.0 from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php << Recommended
There is a newer version of Adobe Acrobat Reader available.
Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please download Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) . ( don't install it yet )
Now download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.
***Please close any instances of Internet Explorer (or other web browser) before continuing!***
Now install the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) package you downloaded
(it comes with a toolbar pre-selected, so make sure you uncheck the box)
You can delete JavaRa (zip and exe)
Remove Programs
Older versions of some programs have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Now click Start---Control Panel. Double click Add or Remove Programs (XP) / Programs and Features (Vista) . If any of the following programs are still listed there,
click on the program to highlight it, and click on remove.
- Adobe Reader 7.1.0
Now close the Control Panel.J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
I met with weird behavior in the Kaspersky. While downloading the database, the display became very flickery. The download was taking a long time, so I closed the browser and started again. This time, the download was almost instantaneous (as though it simply checked for the download and found it already done). After and during the scan, the display was again patchy. It was difficult to be sure if I was missing something with the display primarily only filling in when the mouse hovered, but I was not successful saving the log. I was told to turn off the pop up blocker, which I thought I had done. I re-ran the scan, but had the same problem. For that log, I simply copied out (literally with pen and paper) the part of the log I saw. There was only one line visible in what I think was the log.
In attempting to install the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE), I met the error message "download failed." The first reason given was "verification failed." When I turned off the verification as instructed and tried the download again, I got the message that maximum number of retries was exceeded with the specification "[3]." There was no recommendation for how to fix this problem. This issue is defined on the SDM on-line help page as either resulting from a mismatch between expected file type as text/html versus non-html or from exceeding the max number of downloads.
It seems nothing I have done has gone smoothly with everything showing some anomaly or other. When I started the computer this morning, before going through the second ComboFix, the virus was gone and one other usual startup error message did not appear (something about run dll not being found), but the computer did not register any input. After shutting down using the on/off button on the computer, I restarted and the computer ran normally. And the computer is working faster. I haven't really used it except to work on these issues, so I can't give a more complete report than that.
Here is what I copied from the Kaspersky log. It may contain a mistake because I copied it to pen and paper then typed it in here:

Your not the first to say that recently, I have had a few other people have trouble with it.
That's fine, the file it found is in System Restore and we will be flushing that shortly
Uninstall Combofix
Right, there is no sign of infection now
Run the machine as you would normally and let me know if there are any problems still.
Let me know how you get on with Java also.
So, got the same results with JRE. If I can find time, I'll try doing the whole procedure from the beginning. I'm leaving town for a couple of weeks today, so if I don't get it done, I may have to start a new thread for it, unless you would notice a new post from me here in two weeks?
This morning, eset scared me with the same warning of the ursnif.A infestation, but when I said delete it, eset did not balk, so I assume that was some kind of residue that eset could clean up?
Believe it or not, there are 3 other older computers here with such virus problems that someone in my family stopped using them. Now I think I know where I can get them running again so I can donate them as working computers. IOW, I'll be back.
Thanks so much for your help.
2) curious, if you can find the ESET log, I'd like to see where it found it.
It probably was just a left over, but I don't know where it was hiding.
3) Glad to hear it, that means I've done my job well
