    Hi,

    Please do. You can upload those here:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/submit-malware.php?channel=20

    Or here:

    http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=1.0

    If you can throw a few of them in a folder and zip up the folder that would be better for safer handling by those of us analyzing the files.

    spykiller link is the preferred one since more researchers have access.

    Start yourself a new topic
    Put in topic title "Request by Blender "
    Put in body of messege the link to our thread here.
    then press the browse button and then navigate to & select the zip file you created.
    press Post to upload the file

    It is normal you will not see the file you just posted cus only approved members can see em to download them.

    Let me know here when you have posted.

    Once uploaded you can delete both the zip and the folder you created to put these files in.

    Download WinPFind3U.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named WinPFind3u on your desktop.
    • Open the WinPFind3u folder and double-click on WinPFind3U.exe to start the program.
      • In the Files Created Within group click 30 days
      • In the Files Modified Within group select 30 days
      • In the File String Search group select Non-Microsoft
    • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
    • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
    • Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
    Use the Add Reply button and Copy/Paste the information back here. I will review it when it comes in.

    It may take 2 posts to get entire log in.

    Thanks :)

    Uploaded those files to bleeping computer as the other link wasn't working. Let me know you got them ok. I left in a log file named VM that was recently modified. Not sure if that's anything to do with it since my nickname is VM and I use it on my windows. Could also explain the file names. =/

    The WinPFind3U log will follow.

    Hi & thanks for the logs.

    1.) Ensure your AVG antispyware is up to date.

    2.) Download this file and save it to your desktop:

    http://downloads.subratam.org/ResetTeaTimer.bat

    Do nothing with it yet.

    3.) Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune and save it to your Desktop.

    http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1

    Do nothing with it yet.

    4.) Disable your TeaTimer so it does not interfere with fix. We can turn it back on when you are clean.
    Please keep it off till we "reset it ".

    1.) Open Spybot and click on Mode and check Advanced Mode
    2.) Check yes to next window.
    3.) Click on Tools in bottom left hand corner.
    4.) Click on System Startup icon.
    5.) Uncheck Teatimer box.
    6.) Click Allow Change box.

    You can follow this link if you need help: http://russelltexas.com/malware/teatimer.htm

    5.) Go ahead and delete those files that look like "breasts" from your C:\Documents and settings\VM & KING KARL folder along with the VM.dat file.
    Also off your desktop.

    6.) Double click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
    Check the boxes to the left of:

    Windows Temp
    Current User Temp
    All Users Temp
    Temporary Internet Files
    Prefetch
    Java Cache
    Recycle bin

    The rest are optional - if you want to remove the lot, check "Select All ".
    Finally click Empty Selected. When you get the "Done Cleaning" message, click OK.

    If you use the Firefox or Opera browsers, you can use this program as a quick way to tidy those up as well.

    When you have finished, click on the Exit button in the Main menu.

    7.) Open Hijackthis
    Run system scan and check:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://search.usefulware.com
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://search.usefulware.com
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://search.usefulware.com
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = http://search.usefulware.com
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://search.usefulware.com


    8.) Start your AVG Antispyware and run a full system scan.
    Let it quarentine what it wants.
    Save the log please from the scan.

    9.) Reboot

    10.) Please post:

    New Hijackthis log
    Log from AVG

    Log from this program:

    http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/FindAWF.exe

    Save the file and run it to get the log.

    Let me know how computer is behaving.

    Thanks :)

    The findAWF.exe wouldn't work. The wee dos box pops us and immediately dissapears.

    I Found My Solution To The Axfreeporn Problem. It Has Attached Its Self To My Audio Driver. My System Uses Soundmax Drivers..
    I Went To Task Manager And Killed SMAX4PNP.EXE And SMAgent.exe.

    Then Uninstalled The Soundmax Drivers And Reinstalled The Drivers From The Original Disk.....

    Hope This Works For You And Others..

    Hi dlg425,

    This particular infection usually involves more work than that.
    Several exes are normally overwritten and the origional good files are placed elsewhere.
    Even after the infection itself is cleaned up several programs won't work untill the origional files are found & placed back where they belong.
    These programs normally include those that start with windows. (ie: AV software, firewall software, AS software & other useful necessary programs)

    Trojan also lowers system security by adjusting IE protocol zones and adds bad domains to trusted zones for IE. This can result in ANY site acting as trusted and can therefore do whatever they like to your computer often resulting in several more infections.

    I suggest you start a thread of your own to have your system checked to be sure you are really clean & safe.

    Regards,

    Tammy

    Typing cmd and cmd.exe into the run command brings up a doss prompt inside the documents and settings file.


    Just to let you know.
    My computer was recently not starting and then reseting when it finally did come on. I'm not sure if this was to do with the axfreeporn trojan or whether it was my fault. As my CD rom decided to snap a CD rom into bits the other day and I had to dissconnect my HD whilst I figured out what had happened tothe CD and DVD rom (the DVD rom started clunking as a result of the shock). I could have not connected the HD properly, although I'm not sure that would have the same effect. Just thought I might aswell mention it. I've reconnected the HD now and it's been running fine for about 10 minuites.

    Ouch!!

    Hope you are still running ok.

    You did disconnect the CD Rom & left it disconnected till you either get a new one or know it's alright?
    I have to say that is the first I heard of CD breaking up in CDRom.

    I find it odd you can open cmd.exe or just cmd and it works yet cannot run other programs that oen a cmd window.
    Sounds like your environment variables are messed up. We won't make much progress till that issue is resolved.

    Try this please:

    Download FixPath2 from here:

    http://internet.cybermesa.com/~bstewart/files/fixpath2.zip

    Unzip it to C:\ so you have C:\FixPath2

    Close other programs because you will need to reboot shortly.

    Click start> run> type cmd.exe and hit enter.

    Type:

    cd c:\fixpath2 (note the space between the d and the c)

    Type:

    Fixpath.exe and hit enter.

    It will display some info and ask if you want to fix errors.
    Answer yes!
    It should tell you success.

    Exit the cmd window and reboot <-- Important

    Next:

    See if you can get FindAWF to run.
    Post log if it does.

    Thanks :)

    Did that and still no luck with findAWF.exe.

    Yeah I took the CDrom out and opened it, removed the bits of CD and checked it was Ok. I'm fine with mechanical/electrical things, it's just software problems I'm completely incapable of understanding. =D
    I think the problem was that the CD got caught up somehow inside and the motor must have been pushing it further into the drive until it snapped. I might have had the telly on too loud and didn't notice a problem til it was too late. It's a shame because I'll have to buy my game again now! Still, at least the computer's working fine. I think the restarting was me not plugging a cable in properly because it apears to be fine now. I hope so too because I share this computer with my partner.

    Going to England later and will be there til tuesday so won't be at this computer until then. Just so you know there's no rush replying. Thanks for all your help anyway, hopefully I can get this findAWF to work when I get back. =)

    Hi,

    Good to hear the reboot cycle quit.

    Hope you have a good time in england :)

    When you get back...

    Download Gmer from here:

    http://www.gmer.net/gmer.zip

    Unzip it.
    Disconnect from internet & shut down Antivirus to prevent conflicts.
    Shut down also any other unneeded apps including any open browser windows.
    The less stuff we got running the less chance of false positives in log.
    Double click gmer.exe to run it.
    Allow driver to install if asked (gmer.sys)
    You may warning at program start that there is possible rootkit activity and do you want to run scan.

    Say OK to run scan.
    If no warning, just click "scan "
    Let the scan finish.
    Once done press "copy"
    Open notepad> press "ctrl+v" to paste log.
    Save log.

    Re-enable your antivirus, re-connect to internet & post that log here.

    REcommend not keeping the computer online while you or your partner are not actually on it.

    Thanks :)

    Hi again,

    Before we go hog-wild on rootkit scanners can you try this please:

    Put FindAWF.exe right in C:\

    Try the scan again please.
    Post log if results.

    I think it is because of the & character in your profile folder that is giving the embedded batch a rough time.

    If it works...no need for Gmer scan.

    Thanks :)
