| Need help with Virtumonde....
Hello All,
My laptop has Virtumonde.....and it won't go away.
I ran Ad-Aware Personal which identified that the continual pop-up adds that had suddenly started appearing were caused by the Virtumonde adware. Ad-Aware created a quarantine file. I deleted the quarantine file 24 hours later after making sure my computer was still running correctly. The Virtumonde still remained on my computer.
I ran the Symantec FixVundo tool (updated on 11/26/2005) and the FixVmonde tool. Neither tool identified a problem. However, the Winfixer popups still persist.
I have downloaded HijackThis and put the log-file below. I would like to use the Vundofix tool bu Atribune but I am not sure which files will need to be deleted.
I would be grateful for some assistance as this Adware is very, very annoying.

1 edit | Thanks for the good informational post of things you have already tried. You do need the special Vundo fix and here it is:
Make a copy of these instructions so that you have them handy as the next steps require you to be in safe mode and offline.
1. Please download VundoFix by Atribune from here:
www.atribune.org/downloads/VundoFix.exe
Save it to your desktop Double-click VundoFix.exe to extract the files This will create a folder named VundoFix on your desktop.
2. After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.
3. Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat
4. You will first be presented with a warning. It should look like this quote: VundoFix V2.15 by Atri By using VundoFix you agree that you are doing so at your own risk. Press enter to continue....
5. At this point press enter one time. Next you will see: quote: Please Type in the filepath as instructed by the forum staff and then press enter:
At this point please copy and paste in the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sstst.dll
6. Press *Enter*to continue with the fix.
7. Next you will see: quote: Please type in the second file path as instructed by the forum staff then press enter:
At this point please copy and paste in the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tstss.*
8. Press *Enter* to continue with the fix. The fix will run then HijackThis will open, if it does not open automatically please open it manually.
9. Scan with HijackThis, and place a checkmark next to the following items and click *FIX CHECKED* button O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)

After you have fixed these items, close Hijackthis.
10. Press enter to exit the program then manually reboot your computer.
11. Once your machine reboots go to Panda ActiveScan and do a complete system scan

| I completed the above instructions. However, I may have made a mistake as I noticed my wireless internet connection was ON when I ran the Vundofix. The results were mixed as Panda found another suspect .dll (C:\WINDOWS\system32\awvts.dll) Here are the log results:

| reply to getcarter ok, first - the remnant Panda found, I'm not surprised. It does a deeper, full system scan that HijackThis doesn't (one of the reasons we have users also run that Panda scan). So just manually delete the file it found: C:\WINDOWS\system32\awvts.dll
Second, VundoFix deleted the other files but the "fixes" in HijackThis did not take. This tells me that something you are running is blocking the changes to the registry to fix these items:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {CE70731D-F28D-4D81-9D61-C8EE60378401} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\sstst.dll (file missing)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: sstst - C:\WINDOWS\system32\sstst.dll (file missing)
I'm not sure which program you have that could be blocking it. Might be Adaware if you have the paid version with Adwatch, in which case you need to temporarily turn it off and run HijackThis again, checkmark the above entries and press the *fix checked* button. Reboot and scan again. If those entries are now gone re-enable your Adwatch.
Ad-Watch(If you have the paid version of Adaware) Do this to Disable AdWatch
Open AdAware SE. Go to AdWatch User Interface. Go to Tools and Preferences. At the bottom of the screen you will see 2 options Active and Automatic. Active: This will turn Ad-Watch On\Off without closing it Automatic: Suspicious activity will be blocked automatically Uncheck both options. You can enable these after resolving your problem.
If you don't run Adwatch, temporarily disable any resident protection programs you might be running that could be blocking the fix. ............. Third, we believe the source of this infection to be from running older (vulnerable) versions of Sun Java - which you do have. You may have more than one older version. The best thing to do is to follow the recommendations in the first post of this topic here: »Potential Vulnerability with Sun Java auto update
Let us know how you make out on getting those HijackThis fixes to take. Post a new log. -- It takes a disaster to make a woman out of a female Microsoft MVP/Windows Security 2003-2006 Proud Member of ASAP (Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals) |

| First, I manually deleted C:\WINDOWS\system32\awvts.dll.
Second,my Ad-Aware was the free version. However, I was running Symantec Antivirus File System Realtime Protection. I disabled that and checked off the four specific lines in HijackThis. It believe it was able to fix the registry this time. I have put the log below. Please let me know if you see anything suspicious.
Thirdly, I followed the instructions regarding Java and found I had Sun J2SE 1.4.2_03 installed (I voted accordingly in the poll). I had to do a manual download/install of the latest version, Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_05-b05). It is now installed. It seems the older version was removed at the same time.
Finally, I have been able move about the Web for the last hour or so without any annoying Winfixer pop-ups. Things are looking much brighter now!

| reply to getcarter Good job! The HJT fixes took ~yeah~
But the Sun Java vulnerability ...it doesn't remove older versions on an update and HJT only shows the most current version installed (not all versions).
Let's take a look.
Open HijackThis but instead of a scan, on the main screen choose *Open Misc. Tools Section*
From there choose *Open Uninstall Manager*
It will then present you with a list. Choose the *save log* button and post the results back here. We can advise from there  -- It takes a disaster to make a woman out of a female Microsoft MVP/Windows Security 2003-2006 Proud Member of ASAP (Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals) |

I think I am now in the clear? Let me know if there is anything else.
Thank you so much for your help. This is the first time I have had an issue like this and I appreciated all the detailed instructions. I have also learned alot from browsing dslreports.com this weekend. For the most part, I have taken security for granted...not any more! |

And yes, you look in the clear now 
A few more things to do and some prevention tips, we're glad to have you with us!!
Now that your PC is clean, make sure all programs are running properly and then you'll need to reset your restore point in Windows XP.......why?
One of the best features of Windows ME or XP is the System Restore option, however if a malware infects a computer with this operating system it can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is necessary after malware removal.
To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.
(winXP)
1. Turn off System Restore. Go to Start > Run, click on *My Computer*. Click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. Check Turn off System Restore. Click Apply, and then click OK.
2. Reboot.
3. Turn ON System Restore. Go to Start > Run, click on *My Computer*. Click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*. Click Apply, and then click OK.

Next, I highly recommend you get some extra protection to prevent future infections. Here are some things you can do and some free programs to help . »Security »How do I prevent browser hijacks and spyware?
I'm happy to see you have SP2 installed. That will address numerous security issues in your Operating System and IE Make sure that you keep your Operating System and IE updated with the latest Critical Security Updates from Microsoft...they usually come out once a month, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. This is the first step in malware prevention, as many nasties now take advantage of new exploits and if not patched, you are vulnerable! Windows Update »v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/e···ault.asp
And see this link for instructions on how to configure the enhanced security features in SP2: »www.microsoft.com/technet/securi···cxp.mspx
I also highly recommend to get the free tool, Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) from Microsoft to analyze your PC security for prevention purposes.
MBSA Version 2.0 will scan for common system misconfigurations on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems. This program will identify the system security weaknesses in your browser and operating system and provides easy instructions to correct them. This includes any missing critical Windows security updates, system vulnerabilities and your IE Browser security settings. Get the download here: Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer »www.microsoft.com/technet/securi···ome.mspx Choose MBSAsetup-EN.msi = (English Version) or the language appropriate for you.
Microsoft also has a free Antispyware program that offers resident protection to prevent infections as well. I do recommend it as an extra layer of protection for you. »www.microsoft.com/athome/securit···ult.mspx -- It takes a disaster to make a woman out of a female Microsoft MVP/Windows Security 2003-2006 Proud Member of ASAP (Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals) |
