I posted a message earlier this afternoon and got an e-mail that I had received a response but when I tried to follow the link, I received an error that the file was not found. Not sure what happened but I am going to try a repost. I am working on a PC that had the AV2009 virus and while cleaning that I discovered it had the TDSS trojan. I have following the instructions from other post and still are not able to remove the trojan. I have run MalwareBytes and Spybot with the current defs. I had to rename the executables and run them from cmd prompt, plus update them manually. Both found the TDSS and tried to remove it without success. I have run SDfix and Hijack This. SDfix found the TDSS. I have all the log files. I need someone that can look at them and tell me what to do next.

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, 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.

jabuck - I run Hijackthis and then run Combofix as requested. Combofix found the TDSS rootkit and had me reboot the pc . It then proceeded to remove files and complete the cleanup. It generated the log files which I am including. I re-enabled the AVG and stopped there. I was not sure if I need to run Combofix again.

Please go to Virus Total and upload the following file for analysis:


c:\windows\system32\drivers\tbvh.sys

c:\windows\system32\drivers\wjtdq.sys

c:\windows\system32\drivers\uxdmws.sys

c:\windows\system32\drivers\wfgr.sys

Use the browse button at the site to find the file, once you find the file double click it and it should appear in the empty space to the left of the browse button> click "send file".

Post the results in your reply.

The files are not on the PC. I used the Browse button and could not find any of them. I used Windows Exporer to search for them and could not find them anywhere in c:\Windows. What do I need to do next?

Thank you

Set up the computer to view hidden files:
To show hidden files do the following:
They are in the Combofix log, so they may be hidden.

Click Start > My Computer
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
Uncheck Hide protected operating system files.
Under the Hidden files folder, locate and check Show hidden files and folders.
If you see a warning message, click Yes.
Click Apply > OK.

Then look again please.

I checked to make sure all hidden files were set to display. I still can not find these files. I see them in the combofix log but they are not on the system. How should I proceed?

Go to start> run> copy/paste the following line one at the time and press enter after each entry.


sc delete cvkvq
sc delete johyxr
sc delete lgvvces
sc delete rbxdz


Exit the run command.

Open Notepad and copy/paste everything between the X's into it and make sure the first word (such as KILLALL, Or File, etc.) is at the very top of the page.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
KILLALL::
File::
c:\windows\system32\drivers\tbvh.sys
c:\windows\system32\drivers\wjtdq.sys
c:\windows\system32\drivers\uxdmws.sys
c:\windows\system32\drivers\wfgr.sys
c:\windows\Tasks\ltobuhpu.job


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Go to File on the top bar and choose" Save As", Change the "Save As Type" to All Files, Name it CFScript.txt then save it to your desktop.
Then drag/drop the CFScript.txt onto ComboFix.exe (the red symbol on your desktop) if combofix does not auto start click "run".

Download Registry Search and doubleclick to start it. Enter TDSSserv.sys in the top edit box and click "Ok". Notepad will be opened with text in it (the file will be saved in the program's folder as well). Post this text.

Not sure if you needed the combofix log or not. If so let me know and I will post. Here is the log from Registry Search

Please let me know what I need to do next and thank you for all your help!

It appears everything is working correctly. Thank you for all your help. Do I need to remove any of the utilities and log files? Is there anything else I need to do to prevent a future infection?

Do this needed clean-up.

Empty the restore folder. Go to start>control panel>system>system restore tab>check the box beside "turn off system restore>apply (takes a minute)>ok. Go back and uncheck the box to turn system restore back on>apply>ok.


Download ATF Cleaner from this link:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/ATF_Cleaner_d4949.html
Run ATF-Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.


Navigate to and delete this folder:

C:\SDFix


Empty the recycle bin.


Go to start> run> type in combofix /u (note the space after combofix) then press enter> run. This will uninstall combofix so give the uninstaller a minute to run.

Go to start> control panel> add/remove programs and uninstall these programs:

Hijack This

Malwarebytes

You should keep AFT Cleaner and run it weekly.


You should consider adding "Spywareblaster" to your arsenol of antispyware tools, you can download it from this link Spywareblaster

Just download it,install it, and update it. Its free and runs in the background, so you don't actually run it, and re-writes malicious script before it can install on your computer. Look for updates weekly as there is no auto-update on the free version.

Glad we could help.
