Comment:

i finally did the wrong thing and got these two viruses. i used avg7.5, greatis.com's regrun suite and spybot s&d to get the computer running a little better, but still get all kinds of pop-up about security and disinfection from windows security alert and protection-wizard.com, and attempts to install M$ office from disc 2... i have done a hijackthis scan. i renamed b.exe to bbbb.exe, and no longer find sav.exe except in the recycle bin. any suggestions?

hello.

since i first wrote (last night) with my problem, i've nearly gotten rid of it on my own. i went to bed with no problems on the computer, but today, after going to a few of the websites you suggested i stated getting another, infrequent, pop-up which looks like the windows security alert' boxs, but with some garbled copy in it which is from my isp (tds.net) it says it "cannot find www.antispyware-review.info/a/b4.html?wmid=4663&pwebmid=911cj4&a=:". it has the 'windows security alert' border, and goes away and stays gone until i click an antimalware type link. i have a screenshot if you want it.

here's what i've done to get back to an almost pristine state.

LAST NIGHT
1. AVG 7.5 -- scan and fix
2. Spybot S & D -- scan and fix
3 install and run RegRun from greatis.com. things much better, but different, regrun, pop ups started.
4. uninstall regrun.

TODAY
5. ran atf cleaner
6. ran drweb cureit
7. ran HJT (log below)
8. ran MBAM (log below and remove selected)
9. restart due to several files unable to be removed.

Please download ComboFix to the desktop from one of the following links:

Link1

Link 2

Link 3

Combofix is a powerful tool so follow the instructions exactly or you could damage your computer.

Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with Combofix and remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
Click on This Link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.

In your case to run Combofix do the following:
1. Go offline turn off your AVG antivirus, Windows Defender, Spybot and any other antispyware that you may have.
2. Run Combofix and save its log.
3. Restart the computer to get the antivirus running again but leave the antispyware programs off until we get the computer cleaned.
4. Post the Combofix log.


Remember to re-enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the Internet.

Double-click combofix.exe
Follow the prompts.
(Don't click on the window while the program is running or move the mouse, it will cause your system to hang.)
Please post the log it produces.

I eliminated this virus in Windows Vista with these steps:

I went to the start menu and went to "Run..."

then I typed "regedit" in the Run window and press enter.

once inside the regedit window, i went to the folder called: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

once there, i went to the subfolder called: SOFTWARE

under that folder, i went to the folder called: Microsoft

under that folder i went to the folder called: Windows

under that folder i went to the folder called: CurrentVersion

and under that folder, I went to the folder called: Run
(some programs get into this folder to run when windows starts)

then i erased the thing called: Antivirus
(because i discovered that the virus used that name to disguise itself, so you wont delete it.)

i deleted it by right clicking on it, a menu came out, and i choosed the option: Delete

and then i closed the regedit program

i went again to the start menu and clicked the "Run..." option again

this time, when the Run window came out, i wrote "msconfig" and hit enter

a window appeared that had a tab called: Startup

there i saw a list of applications (those usually are the ones that start when you start windows) and i unchecked the one that had this name: Antivirus
(one thing curious, is that this supposed antivirus, under the column "Manufacturer" it said "Unknown", every application identifies itself, except this one. suspicious huh?)

well, i unchecked the box at the left of this supposed antivirus.

i restarted my computer.

after that, everything went faster, but i noticed that after going to the "msconfig" window thru the start menu and the option "Run..." the antivirus got itself again checked, ready to strike again when i do my next restart.

i went to the start menu, and went to control panel to see if i could uninstall it, and went to "Programs and Features" icon, there's were i usually uninstall everything i want to uninstall. but there was no uninstaller for the sav.exe virus

but, i also notice an icon in control panel called System Antivirus 2008 with an ugly icon. usually control panel icons are more detailed. Microsoft wouldnt put an ugly icon in there.

ok, so the options we see in Control Panel, usually are little programs that end up in: .cpl
so that System Antivirus 2008 option should end in .cpl as well

so i went to the start menu and went to the option: Search

and i specified in my search, everything that ended in .cpl, by writing in the search box: *.cpl
(the * is like a wildcard, it means everthing)

i found sav.cpl

i decided to open it, by right clicking on it, and it showed me a menu.

from that menu, instead of choosing the first option, that is to run it with control panel, i choosed from the menu the option: Open With

from there, i decided to open it with the program called Wordpad
to see what it had inside.

the program "Wordpad" was located in my hard drive ( drive C ) under the folder named "Windows" and under the folder named "System32"
like this: "C:\Windows\System32"

and the name of the program was: write.exe

i finally open the program "sav.cpl" and i saw a bunch of stuff i didnt understand.

so i went to the menu called: Edit

then i went to the option in that Edit menu called: Select All
and it seems all those things got selected, that text changed color.

i press the key: Del
on my keyboard
that erased all those things i couldnt understand in there

then i went to the menu "File"
and Choosed the option "Save"
(ups, i just killed the virus.)

i closed the WordPad program

to make sure it didnt start again when i reboot, i checked by going to the start menu, and choosing the option "Run..."

i wrote "msconfig" in the window and pressed enter.

the "Run" window appeared again, i was curious if the programs was going to install itself again when i start my computer some other time.

so i went to the Startup tab, and saw that, that suspicious program was not selected to start when windows start, because the little square at its left was unchecked.
its the best thing you can have, that square on the left of the suppoused "Antivirus" unchecked.

so i restarted my computer.

and the virus dissapeared.

my computer doesnt have that virus anymore.

i guess the program sav.cpl was the activator of the virus. once you kill whats inside of it, it doesnt work anymore.

well, that's what i found. hope it will help some of you, or all of you :)

be happy :)
