Another Virus/Hijack Removal Problem

Author	All Replies
hgratt join:2003-12-09 Plano, TX	Another Virus/Hijack Removal Problem Another friend, this time with win98se. He has serious problems with pop-ups from an object called CERES. Have done the following, all in SAFE MODE: 1. Ran latest Spybot S&D 2. Ran latest Ad-Aware 3. Ran HJT Main problem is with HJT (even in safe mode) the object/file ceres.dll keeps coming back. I also noticed that the HJT tool for removing a file at boot up was greyed out. I could rename the file ceres.dll only in safe mode (afraid to delete it at the present time), but when I booted back up, the ceres pop-ups still came. Maybe other thing have to be removed in conjunction, This is the second time these cleaners have failed to remove stuff. Anyway, any insights as to why I can't remove this stuff would be appreciated. Here is his HJT logfile: Thanks, Harvey Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.0 Scan saved at 9:19:55 PM, on 1/18/05 Platform: Windows 98 SE (Win9x 4.10.2222A) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSGSRV32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MPREXE.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\mmtask.tsk C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ATI2PLXX.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\EASY INTERNET\ENCMONTR.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSTASK.EXE C:\WINDOWS\TASKMON.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSTRAY.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ATIPTAXX.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ATI2CWXX.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\TIOGA\CLIENT\BIN\TGCMD.EXE C:\TOSHIBA\IVP\ISM\PINGER.EXE C:\WINDOWS\LOADQM.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\WORKS SHARED\WKUFIND.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\TECH\WHEEL MOUSE\5.0\MOUSE32A.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\SYSTEM SOAP PRO\SOAP.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\MSN MESSENGER\MSNMSGR.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\LOGITECH\MOUSEWARE\SYSTEM\EM_EXEC.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERSIL\PRISM 802.11 WIRELESS LAN\CONFIG.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\LINKSYS\WIRELESS-B NOTEBOOK ADAPTER\WPC11CFG.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WMIEXE.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PSTORES.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DDHELP.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SPOOL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINZIP\WZQKPICK.EXE C:\HJT\HIJACKTHIS.EXE R0 -

CalamityJane Premium,VIP,MVM join:2002-08-27 Eustis, FL 1 edit	reply to hgratt Your problem is this: Transponder - Ceres Variant »doxdesk.com/parasite/Transponder.html That page contains information on additional components that may have been installed and you should check to see if any of the additional files/registry entries need to be removed as all are not visible on the HijackThis log. This particular variant we have seen comes bundled with a fresh install of Morpheus, in which case, you should caution your friend about spyware infested programs and taking care in downloading files from the interenet. Adaware SE v. 1.05 with the most recent updates does have detection for this. Please make sure you have the latest version and updates as of Jan 11 is: SE1R25 11.01.2005 The Transponder DLL lives in the Windows folder. Before it can be deleted, it must be deregistered. Open a Command Prompt window (from Start->Programs->Accessories; called DOS prompt on Windows 95/98/Me) and enter the following command: for the Ceres variant: cd "%WinDir%\System" regsvr32 /u ..\Ceres.dll Then, boot the PC into SAFE MODE, scan with HijackThis and checkmark the following entries and press fix checked R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = »home.iwon.com/index_gen.html O2 - BHO: YBIOCtrl Class - {004A5840-FF59-11d2-B50D-0090271D3FD4} - (no file) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {D714A94F-123A-45CC-8F03-040BCAF82AD6} - C:\WINDOWS\DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES\SBCIE028.DLL O2 - BHO: CeresObj Class - {00000049-8F91-4D9C-9573-F016E7626484} - C:\WINDOWS\CERES.DLL O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [efjorvjqpwms] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vytlkzc.exe O9 - Extra button: SideStep - {3E230861-5C87-11D3-A1C6-00105A1B41B8} - C:\WINDOWS\DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES\SBCIE028.DLL O16 - DPF: {0837121A-6472-43BD-8A40-D9221FF1C4CE} - »download.sidestep.com/get/k22675/sb028.. Remain in safe mode and delete the following files named in bold (if found) SBCIE028.DLL C:\WINDOWS\CERES.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vytlkzc.exe Also check your system for a file named: buddy.exe If found, delete it too. Reboot back into normal mode and scan again with HijackThis and post a fresh log. You should make sure Adaware is updated and scan with it as well, since it may find more entries as well. Be sure to visit the doxdesk parasites page linked above to see what other entries you may need to search and destroy on the system related to the Ceres variant. Note: System Soap Pro has been reported to come with Foistware and it is generally recommended to avoid using that program See description here: »www.liutilities.com/products/win···ry/soap/ -- It takes a disaster to make a woman out of a female Gladiator Security Forum Proud Member of ASAP (Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals)

hgratt join:2003-12-09 Plano, TX	reply to hgratt Thanks. I plan on getting over there again Thursday and will try the removal procedures. I will post back as soon as I can. BTW, these people use the www.iwon.com page as their home page In fact, everytime we update SpywareBlaster , I have to remove the entry in the IE Restricted Zone. To me, the page just looks like a general information page where they sign up for news , weather updates, etc. What are the nasties associated with this page? Thanks again, Harvey

hgratt join:2003-12-09 Plano, TX	You bet! I've loaded Ad-Aware, Spybot, CWShredder and SpywareBlaster onto his system. Also installed AVAST anti-virus and a2 anti-trojan on his system. Hopefully, this will give him adequate automatic protection and manual scanning/checking capabilities. Thanks again for your help.

CalamityJane Premium,VIP,MVM join:2002-08-27 Eustis, FL 1 edit	Great! I figured you would fix him up Another really must get free tool is Eric Howe's IESPYAD. That will put over 5,000 known malicious and/or dangerous sites into his restricted zone. It needs to be updated periodically (see our Updates list at the top of this forum each day for the latest) but installing that tool will help stop reinfections and increase his protection without using any memory resources -- It takes a disaster to make a woman out of a female Gladiator Security Forum Proud Member of ASAP (Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals)

hgratt join:2003-12-09 Plano, TX	Does IESPYAD do anything for Mozilla? Also, will it conflict with SpywareBlaster and/or SpyBot's immunization procedures?

CalamityJane Premium,VIP,MVM join:2002-08-27 Eustis, FL	Oh, no...doesn't work for Mozilla just IE, but also no - it doesn't interfere with SpywareBlaster or Spybot or any other security programs for those using IE.

Zekecee @wachovia.com	Ceres PopUps was on my computer at work. The company that I traced the ceres.dll to is MyPCTUNEup.com. Their removal tool seemed to work and they claim to not install any spyware on your box. I checked to see if the Ceres.dll was still in my Windows directory, and it was not after I ran the removal software. I will keep my fingers crossed!!! Good Luck
