Look in Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall the program if it is present.

You are strongly advised to do the following immediately:

1. Disconnect infected computer from the internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.

2. Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.

3. From a clean computer, change *all* your online passwords -- for email, for banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, 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 passwords and transaction information.

If there is no entry for the Keylogger in Add or Remove Programs, we will proceed with manual steps to remove the keylogger. This will require several logs from a couple of different tools and time. If a keylogger is present on the system there is a good chance that there is other malicious processes present.

Download to your Desktop:
- MGTOOLS.zip
- HijackThis-1991.exe

Double-click HijackThis-1991.exe this will install HijackThis. Accept default prompts, insure you create a Desktop Icon. Let the installer launch HijackThis. select Do a system scan and save a log file. Close HijackThis

Extract the contents of the zip file to the root directory of drive C:\ (C:\MGTOOLS). This will create a folder named MGTOOLS with 5 files in it.

Using Windows Explorer (right click the Start button and select Explore to open Windows Explorer) navigate to C:\MGTOOLS and locate ShowNew.bat and double-click on it to run it. ( Do not attempt to run the program from inside the ZIP file or by using Winzip. It will not work properly. ) It will create a file named newfiles.txt in the root of drive C: (C:\newfiles.txt) . This log will also popup in a notepad window which your can just close.

Now locate GetRunKey.bat and double-click on it to run it. ( Do not attempt to run the program from inside the ZIP file or by using Winzip. It will not work properly. ) It will create a file named runkeys.txt in the root of drive C: (C:\runkeys.txt) . This log will also popup in a notepad window which your can just close.

Possible Error Messages
  • If your newfiles.txt or runkeys.txt log appear to be empty or semi-empty or if you get an error message similar to the below when running ShowNew.bat or GetRunKey.bat and you are running Windows XP or Windows 2000, follow the steps further down that relate to your OS
    Quote:
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Window applications.


    To fix the above error message, choose the download below which is appropriate for your system
    • For Windows XP Pro: download and run: XPproFix
    • For Windows XP Home: download and run: XPHomeFix
    • For Windows 2000: download and run: W2KFix

    Then run ShowNew.bat or GetRunKey.bat again and attach the log.

  • A possible second type of error message may occur as shown in the quote box below! If you get either of these two messages, perform the Resolution steps given in this: Virtual Device Driver Error Message in 16-Bit MS-DOS Subsystem

Quote:
16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem[color]
drive:\program path
XXXX. An installable Virtual Device Driver failed DLL initialization. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

-or-

[color=red]16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
drive:\program path
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.


After attempting to fix the above errors, run ShowNew.bat or GetRunKey.bat again and attach the log.

NOTE: For Win9x and WinMe users! ShowNew now supports Win9x and WinMe; however, it makes the assumption that you have Windows installed on drive C. If you do not have Windows installed on drive C, it will not work properly.

Paste the contents of both C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt to your reply

Post your HijackThis log.

This may take several posts to post post all 3 logs.

Please print these instructions out, or write them down, as you can't read them during the fix.

Download:
- Pocket Killbox http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4709.html
- ExplorerXP http://www.majorgeeks.com/ExplorerXP_d4201.html

Using Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel; uninstall the following:
Quote:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
ErrorDoctor


ErrorDoctor is a rogue registry cleaning utility.

Copy the contents of the below quote box to Notepad; Save As FixReg.reg to your Desktop; make sure File Type: is set to All Files (*.*).
Quote:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Hidden"=dword:00000001
"SuperHidden"=dword:00000001
"ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000
Close Notepad.

Locate FixReg.reg on your Desktop. Double-click on it and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to merge with the registry.

Download and Install RogueRemover Free http://www.majorgeeks.com/RogueRemover_d5360.html]

Run RogueRemover and select Scan and the program will walk you through the remaining steps.

Step 1:
Download SmitfraudFix (c) S!Ri http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Do NOT run any other option other than 1

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm

Step 2:
Next, reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode
5) Choose your usual account.

Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.
A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.

Continue in Normal Mode.

Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:
Quote:
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

Now run Pocket Killbox:

Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files
Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.

NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue..

Select:
  • Delete on Reboot
  • then Click on the All Files button.
  • Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

Submit this file, C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe, to Virus Total. Post the results from the scan.

Winlogon is in the correct location and has the correct filename, but ShowNew shows a file creation date of 19 Feb 2007. Otherwise your logs are clean.

You're wlecome.

One last thing to do temporarily turn off system restore to flush all your restore points and then turn on system restore. This will create a new clean restore point for your system.

Delete everything in !Killbox, empty the Recycle Bin and run CCleaner.

Safe Surfing.
