[REINSTALL] Multiply Trojan Hits
-
re: [REINSTALL] Multiply Trojan Hits
Vincent - Did not have much luck with this. Of the six services identified, MSDSPSD was not listed. The other five when I tried to stop I received the following message:
Could not stop service. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal windows error ar an internal service error. Is this a bad thing?
alockout was installed on this maching some time ago when I was having problems in getting locked out of the server account.

Vincent - alockout was installed when I was having problems with being locked out of the domain server.
Tried running your instructions and ran into some problems. Of the 6 services I could not find MSDSPSD, AFISICX was stopped and removed via your instructions. The other would not stop with an error message of "The services did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal services error."
So I ran Malware again and it found C:\windows\system32\comsa32.sys which was then deleleted. Rebooted then shut down and rebooted to safe mode. NOXTCYR, ROXTCTM, SOTPECA, WSLDOEKD were all stopped so I disabled them then ran hijackthis to remove them. I then rebooted and checked and they were not on the listed services. Attached is the hijacthis log file.

Just so you know - you likely acquired a backdoor/often password stealing capable Trojan(s) that COULD create serious compromises and concerns (passwords, banking, identity theft, etc.).
PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING ISSUES CAREFULLY: Your system has likely been compromised to a point where even cleaning it does not promise you a trustworthy machine. There is a lot of serious concern about the SDBOT infection family which your PC has presently encountered and its known updateable/installable capabilities whether currently in use or not - SEE:
(20K hits for inclusive search terms SDBOT, banking, password, and keylogger).
How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?
How to report ID theft, fraud, drive-by installs, hijacking and malware? Security - dslreports.com
When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall
When should I re-format? How should I reinstall? Security - dslreports.com
If you do online banking or have passwords that would be a serious concern in the hands of others (identity theft or compromise of confidential information), then more serious action is likely advisable and potentially warranted (contacting and alerting bank(s), backup user files, do a clean re-install, and change all user passwords while off-line). More often than not they want your PC as a compromised zombie (a botnet/spambot member to do evil deeds) – but who is to know.
Nevertheless, initial and further cleaning may still be warranted to give you some renewed degree of control and then time to more fully consider your options. Let us know how you wish to proceed.

Vincent - Thanks for all your help. After reading your note I have deceided to stop trying to fix this problem and do a fresh install. I plan on running DBAN Boot and Nuke then reinstalling the OS. Thanks again, George
