Re: [Trojan] AVWA.DLL Removal
We still have a rootit issue.
Note that your log results of file activity in the last 30 days has a huge gap:
2008-05-08 10:32 . 2003-09-06 15:55 57,556 --a------
C:\WINDOWS\guard.bmp
(Huge Gap of No activity)
2008-04-25 23:14 . 2008-04-25 23:14 d-------- C:\Program Files\MyPublisher
Note that even some of the utilites you just downloaded and ran are not showing in the Folders and Files summary.
This looks like a rootkit from the Gromazon family.
I am going to have to script this one away, and it will require a little bit of thought; and on your part we will have to build a little toolkit.
Create a New Folder on your Desktop. Name it "RootKit"
Download to your Desktop The Avenger by Swandog46 from:
• Unzip/extract it to your New Folder "RootKit" on your desktop.
• Double click on Avenger.exe to run The Avenger.
• Click OK.
• Make sure that the box next to Scan for rootkits has a tick in it and that the box next to Automatically disable any rootkits found does not have a tick in it.
• Click the Execute button.
• You will be asked No script has been entered. Do you want to execute a rootkit scan only?.
• Click Yes.
• You will now be asked First step completed --- The Avenger has been successfully set up to run on next boot. Reboot now?.
• Click Yes.
• Your PC will now be rebooted.
• After your PC has completed the necessary reboots, a log should automatically open. If it does not, as sometimes happen, do not be concerned. If you see Notepad open with a log result, save the file and Exit.
Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.
Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to the Windows Directory, 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.ba 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).
• For now, simply close Notepad.
Finally, Download Catchme.exe by GMER to your new folder "RootKit":
Double click catchme.exe to run it
Click the "Scan" button to start scan
When the scan completes, Exit the program.
Post back to the Forum:
• The contents of C:\Avenger.txt;
• The contents of C:\SDFix\Report.txt
• The contents of "catchme.log" found in the new folder "RootKit"
