I've picked up a virus that executes several exe files: afisicx.exe, macidwe.exe, noxtcyr.exe, roxtctm.exe, sobicyt.exe, tdxdowkc.exe and wsldoekd.exe from what I can tell. I have tried to clean these out, killing the services and removing from the registry but they keep coming back. I actually watched them install and was able to grab an install.txt file from one of them. I'm just so-so with my technical skills and need some help.

OK,
well there are a few things that are infected there and will need to be cleared up, so i'll leave that to ceewi1. Ceewi1 will post further instructions to clear up the problem. Cheers for now.

Do you recognise and trust the sites in the following entries?:
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.bmc (HKLM) O15 - Trusted Zone: http://*.goober (HKLM) O15 - ESC Trusted Zone: http://www.wise.com O15 - ESC Trusted Zone: http://www.wise.com (HKLM) If not, please run HijackThis place a check next to those entries and click on Fix checked. Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Do NOT mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall. Also, please do NOT adjust your time format while ComboFix is running. Please click on Start -> Run. Type the following command and click OK: notepad "%userprofile%/Start Menu/Programs/Startup/drives.bat" This should open up a Notepad window, please copy and past the contents into your next reply. Please post

The "drives.bat" is a personal batch file to map network drives that will override the login script drive settings. I have attached the files requested. So far things look better.
Based on the filenames that were part of this virus do you think that any personal info from the PC was at risk? |

Great, please also delete this file if it exists:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\7G7GT75T\msblk[1].bin I think it unlikely that these infections pose a threat to your personal info. I assume that you installed WinVNC yourself, it is a perfectly legitimate program, but if installed by someone else without your consent could allow them to access your files. There also appears to be the setup file for a keylogger on your computer: C:\Documents and Settings\reginaj\My Documents\Enterprise32V6\Code39\smart-keystroke-recorder-setup.exe. It does not appear to be installed, but if installed without your permission could compromise any personal information you enter. Below I have included some ideas on how to prevent future infections. Please consider using these ideas to help secure your computer. While there is no way to guarantee safety when you use a computer, these steps will make it much less likely that you will need to endure another infection. While we really like to help people, we would rather help you protect yourself so that you won't need that help in the future. Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the Critical Updates for Windows. These will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer. Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates or get into the habit of checking Windows Update regularly. They usually have security updates every month. You can set Windows to notify you of Updates so that you can choose, but only do this if you believe you are able to understand which ones are needed. This is a crucial security measure. As a minimum, you need at least an antivirus, firewall and some type of anti-spyware program. Please consider installing and running some of the following programs; they are either free or have free versions of commercial programs: Spybot-Search & Destroy A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's Immunize and TeaTimer features if you don't have the resident part of another anti-spyware program running. SpywareBlaster A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent malware from ever installing on your computer may be found here. SpywareGuard A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for real-time protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here. If you use Internet Explorer, it is a good idea to use IE-Spyad which provides protections against malicious websites. Please keep these programs up-to-date and run them whenever you suspect a problem to prevent malware problems. A number of programs have resident protection and it is a good idea to run the resident protection of one of each type of program to maintain protection. However, it is important to run only one resident program of each type since they can conflict and become less effective. That means only one antivirus, firewall and scanning anti-spyware program at a time. Passive protectors, like SpywareBlaster and IE-Spyad can be run with any of them. Note that there are a lot of rogue programs out there that want to scare you into giving them your money and some malware actually claims to be security programs. If you get a popup for a security program that you did not install yourself, do NOT click on it and ask for help immediately. It is very important to run an antivirus and firewall, but you can't always rely on reviews and ads for information. Ask in a security forum that you trust if you are not sure. If you are unsure are looking for anti-spyware programs, you can find out if it is a rogue here: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is a very good alternative. In addition to being generally more secure than Internet Explorer, it has a very good built-in popup blocker and add-ons, like NoScripts, can make it even more secure. Opera is another good option. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here Opera is available here: http://www.opera.com/download/ Hopefully these steps will help to keep you error free. If you run into more difficulty, we will certainly do what we can to help.
