At request of AndyManchesta, beginning new log for trying to remove malware wbjrwesa.txt. I've included the attached link for earlier discussions

Tried running CCleaner after this ran but no success, still won't run with wbjrwesa.txt in System32 folder....

Will now go try other utilities requested...

win32delfkil.exe results...

well, it didn't actually run the way you said it would...

I ran it from the desktop and it opened a dos window which asked me to press any key... I did and it said file not found 4 times then appeared to stop. The desktop was trashed again so the malware may be affecting it...

I rebooted. There is no sign of a folder or a fix.bat, but I have found a partial log on C:\ which I paste hereafter...

ok, next on the list is Blacklight beta... (I must be getting old - these utility names are as unfamiliar to me as the obscure bands my son listens to... :) )

Not a very meaningful log to the uninitiated...

Kaspersky didn't want to play... Activex control wouldn't download... tried the individual File Scanner while I was there and that didn't work either...

Hey-ho... will go and see what's next on the list...

There's a reference to a BartPE boot disk on the other forum listing - that sounds like an interesting option, but kind of scary, so I'll not try that before someone else agrees that it's a good idea...

Besides still having 'fun' with AndyManchesta's cunning stuff :blink:

Aaaargh!!!

Urgent help required... Done something silly...


moved my malware wbjrwesa.txt to the desktop and tried deleting from there - it worked, checked the registry was clear - it was, deleted the copy from prefetch, started running HijackThis and lost my desktop again... Now I need to get the wbjrwesa.txt file back from the recycle bin and I can't see the damn recycle... Does anyone know the name of the program that runs the recycle bin so I can restore this file????

Help!!!!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the logs

You do have a Gromozon infection which is bad news as they are very malicious and they know how to make it very difficult to clean the machine by constantly changing the files and the method of infection, they also target alot of the tools we use such as rootkit scanners and can close them instantly if you attempt to run them, this txt file thats hooking to explorer.exe maybe a different infection but its difficult to know with the file being random named until we can get some scan results.

For win32delfkil, its fine if it shows file not found 4 times as that is just trojan files its checking for, it stops explorer.exe which is why you lose the desktop icons but if left it should then restart the pc and finish after reboot, can you try the tool again but rename it first , set windows to show file extensions

EDIT: Skip this part until you get explorer running :)

Click Start. Goto MyComputer then C:\drive
Select the Tools menu from the top bar and click Folder Options. Select the View Tab.
Uncheck the "Hide extentions for known file types" option

Click Yes to confirm then OK

You can set this back later by opening the same page and pressing the Restore Defaults button the click Apply and OK.

Then delete these files from C:\Drive if they exist

_files.txt
win32delfkil.exe
windelf.txt

and the _backupD Folder if its there and then right click the win32delfkil.exe file on your desktop and rename it to test.exe then run it again, if it doesnt reboot or finish the clean up then just post the log which it created and we can manually remove anything that was found,

The Blacklight log is fine and its nice to see no hidden items were found, we will be running more rootkit scans though to be sure of that, BartPE methods are fine when you know what your going after but in this case we dont , the only file that we know about is wbjrwesa.txt and that will not be by itself so removing it may cause problems until we find out what put it there and for what reason

Painful :blink: , Im really not sure how to get round this, until we know what changes its made its going to be difficult to repair, please start task manager > new task > type regedit and press ok

When regedit opens check for the explorer.exe value in Image File Execution Options again and remove it if found, then try start explorer, if that doesnt work go back to regedit , on the left pane click My Computer then click Edit and Find, in the Find What: area type wbjrwesa.txt then click Find Next, make a note of any area's where wbjrwesa.txt is found (press F3 to continue the search after each one is found until it shows 'finished searching through registry') let us know where its located,

For the recycle bin problem try this , bring up Task Manager > New Task > click Browse then goto the Windows folder and double click explorer.exe to load the path into the new task window then press ok, if it shows that explorer.exe cannot be found then try this, browse back into the windows folder and right click explorer.exe then choose copy, right click an empty space in the Windows folder and choose Paste and it will add a file named copy of explorer.exe, now double click that so it loads the path into the new task window and click OK, if explorer.exe doesnt start then it should open My Documents and in the menu on the left it shows the recycle bin , left click that and locate the file then right click it and choose copy, navigate back to system32 and right click an empty space and choose paste to add it back in there,

Let me know how it goes then we can continue with the scans

Dont worry about making a note of all the locations in the registry that wbjrwesa.txt is found in, if you can get explorer running again then we can download a reg search tool to do that for us,

All hail Andy!

The copy of explorer worked - I got wbfrwesa.txt back into system32 and desktop is restored so I can get on with the real stuff...

Like the next run of HJT, with the full scan and selected rows. I actually ran this earlier while the desktop was inactive from the txt file removal...

It's shorter at least this time...


Just reading your latest response above about win32delfkil, looks like I acted a bit hastily on that so will go give that another try and give it time to run this time (frightened the bejeebers out of me when it killed explorer - assumed it was my manky malware at work...)

Once more unto the breach!

re Win32delfkil...

just tried a simple rerun... after 10-15 mins I maunally rebooted and let it continue. I have a log but I'm not sure whether that's acceptable or you would prefer me to go through the more detailed process above...

The logs looking alot better, please repeat the gromozon remover step again and post back the log, can you also run this remover from Symantec

http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/glob.../FixLinkopt.exe

That removal tool should be run in Safe Mode
  • 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.
After you run the tool it will show a message indicating whether its found any infection, let me know if it does remove anything.

For the registry search download Regsearch from Bobbi Flekman

http://www.xs4all.nl...gsearch-us.html

Its simple to use, just run the program and enter wbjrwesa.txt click OK and it will search the registry and save the details to a text file named RegSearch.txt which you can then post back

EDIT:
(Use the Posted Image button at the bottom of the page when you post as that doesnt quote mine)

Andy

FixLinkOpt didn't give a message it just finished, but it did create a log file, which had the name of the program and was otherwise empty...

Is that ok?

I think that's the end of the list....

I'll keep an eye on this a bit longer this evening, but having been online since just after 7 this morning, I'm not as alert as I was... I'm grateful for all the time you're putting in on this as well. If there's nowt more in a wee while, I'll check again tomorrow...

Many, many thanks...
