    [Resolved] Cant Access Antivirus & Microsoft Websites

    I can't access any anti-virus sites or any Microsoft websites. I am pretty sure its some new and improved malware. Eventhough I can't see any strange or unknown process using Windows Taskmanager and 3 other similar utilities (such as MKN, AnVir & Free Extended), I do see a strange process using Security TaskManager. The process name is "Universal Server (ekwee)" and the file name for it is "cqohz.dll ". I cannot delete that file nor change any of its hidden, system and read only attributes. t supposedly launches when svchost.exe starts and was given a description of "Resolves and caches DNS names for this computer. If service is stopped, this computer will not be able to resolve DNS names a locate Active Directory domain controllers ". The last time I checked I believe that DNS Client was responsible for that service. What I do notice with the generic taskmanagers are two Rundll32 processes running. But I suspect that is related to my Nvidia Card

    I suspect the malware is aware of Security Taskmanager and its ability to find, isolate and delete running processes in a way that other taskmanagers can't because my Security Taskmanager cannot stop this particular process.
    I get a strange message that says 'couldnt set a restore point 1058' and with a follow up dialog box saying 'for your safety you can remove services and drivers with a registered version only'.

    I have been using unregistered versions for the last 2 years and they have all worked to stop hidden processes so I suspect the malware is targeting a list of programs that might be able to disable it. NEED HELP This is so annoying!!! Here are the posting from the DDS script.

    Download Security Check from HERE, and save it to your Desktop.

    * Double-click SecurityCheck.exe
    * Follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
    * A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

    ==============================================================

    Please download ComboFix from [color= "Red"]Here[/color] or [color= "#FF0000"]Here[/color] to your Desktop.

    **Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**
    1. Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
    2. Close any open browsers.
    3. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
      • 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 or 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.
      NOTE. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
      • Close any open browsers.
      • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
      • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
      • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
    4. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    5. When finished, it will produce a report for you.
    6. Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.
    **Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

    Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

    DO NOT make any other changes to your computer (like installing programs, using other cleaning tools, etc.), until it's officially declared clean!!!

    Hi Broni: I think i managed to fix the problem just before you responded. I beleive the combo fix I downloaded did the trick. I visited a website called geekstogo
    (http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Malware-Spyware-Cleaning-Guide-t2852.html)
    They had a series of steps very similar to yours. The only difference was the availability of combofix. I assume its a generic version or something.

    1) I can visit all sites in question and that universal server (ekwwe) is not running anymore.

    2) I manually cleaned the registry for all traces of (ekwee). That was not so typical because of the LEGACY locations. Nevertheless there all gone. And I deleted it from the SERVICES list.

    3) I deleted the cqozh.dll. That was difficult because I had to use a utility call UNLOCKER. I also figured that it was responsible for ensuring that Windows Explorer could not view any hidden or system files. So even the FILE ASSASSIN thats built into MALWAREBYTES could not work because of the context menu used to locate the locked files could not find it.

    What concerns me is I am not sure exactly how I did it because I did not reboot after each step. So it was hard to see which ones worked. If you don't mind I will continue with the thread to ensure that it really is clean. Here is the first log from the check up. I'm gonna run ur version of combofix and then post it. But I am not sure of the HIJACKTHIS log. I don't recall doing the first one.

    I also have 1 question for curiosity. How does ComboFix work? Is it something that techs can use to and quickly modify for the rapidly evolving malware?

    To answer your question...
    Dealing with Combofix readings is a long learning process. It's a very powerful tool and if you're not familiar with it, you can do some serious damages to your computer.
    Running it is A OK, but later on you have to analyze what's left and this is quite time consuming process.

    I didn't find anything suspicious in Combofix log, so...

    Uninstall Combofix:
    Go Start > Run
    Type in:
    combofix /u
    Note the space between the "combofix" and the "/u "
    Restart computer.


    Now, you're not running any AV program, so please, download and install one of these:

    - Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html
    - Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

    - free Comodo Internet Security (firewall + AV): http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
    NOTE. During installation, Comodo will also allow you to install AV only, or firewall only, if you prefer to combine one Comodo product with some other product.

    If you decide to install Avast, or Avira, make sure, Windows firewall is turned on, or use Comodo firewall..
    If you decide to install Comodo Internet Security, or just Comodo firewall, make sure, Windows firewall is turned off.

    IMPORTANT! Make sure, you use only ONE antivirus, and ONE firewall.

    After installation, update the program, run full scan.


    When done....

    Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
    ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe
    • Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and click Scan to run express scan. Click OK in pop-up window to allow scan.
    • This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the Yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
    • Once the short scan has finished, select Complete scan.
    • Click the green arrow [​IMG] at the right, and the scan will start.
    • Click Yes to all if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
    • When the scan has finished, in the menu, click File and choose Save report list
    • Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
    • Close Dr.Web Cureit.
    • Important! Reboot your computer because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
    • Copy and paste that log in the next reply. You can use Notepad to open the DrWeb.cvs report.

    NOTE. During the scan, pop-up window will open asking for full version purchase. Simply close the window by clicking on X in upper right corner.


    Download HijackThis:
    http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download
    by clicking on Download HijackThis Installer
    Install, and run it.
    Post HijackTHis log.
    Do NOT attempt to fix anything!

    NOTE. If you're using Vista, right click on HijackThis, and click Run as Administrator

    Before I proceed with the Antivirus programs. I currently use eSignal which is a processor intensive Currency & equity charting program. The reason I have not installed an anti-virus is the use of resources. I found that the eSignal runs soooooooooooooooo much better with the antivirus completely off the machine as opposed to disabled while I am using it. Which one of these AV programs have are the least resource intensive?

    Well, being without any AV program is not smart.
    Both, Avira and Avast are not resource hungry.

    Sorry for the delay. I trade during the week and the scans are time consuming. Im curious, it looks like these programs are redundant. So far we have used Combo Fix, Dr.Wed, Hijack This, Malwarebytes & Security Check. Is there an all in one or are we being extra thorough using different databases from different programs? And I noticed that it even registered one of the security programs as a Virus!!

    Again I apologise for the delay. It in no way reflects the lack of appreciation for what you are doing and what I am learning!!!!!

    Absolutely not. They compliment each other.
    Nope.
    ??

    Also, always make sure, "word wrap" is disabled in Notepad, otherwise, the log is harder to read.

    =================================================================

    Print this post out, since you won't have an access to it, at some point.

    1. Open HijackThis.

    2. Close all windows, except for HijackThis.

    3. Put checkmarks next to the following HijackThis entries:

    nothing malicious to remove

    4. You should also checkmark following entries (these are unnecessary startups; no actual programs will be removed):

    - O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup
    - O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install
    - O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (reboot)] "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /runcleanupscript
    - O4 - Global Startup: Event Viewer.lnk = C:\WINDOWS\system32\eventvwr.msc



    5. Click on Fix checked button.

    3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
    4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
    5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
    6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C: ")
    7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
    8. Click OK

    3. Restart computer.

    [SIZE= "4"]6. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately![/SIZE]

    7. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

    One question before i delete my Nvidia control panel at startup. I am using dual 22 inch monitors with a customized setting for the trading software. Will it throw off my custom default settings. Also I purposely have the event viewer on at startup so I can check the System and Application error and warning messages. Is there a way to alert me via a pop up as they happen so that I can delete the startup?

    It shouldn't, but you can leave those nVidia entries alone. No biggie.

    I'm not aware of any way to do it.
    Again, no biggie, if you leave that entry alone.
