core.cache.dsk HELP

nervana1

New Member
It seems that core.cache.disk is the new pain in the butt today, I have been infected for 2 days and have tried everything in my power to rid my self of this little bug, auto runs does not show it, spyware doctor finds it, but fails to remove it.

I have tried all the steps here in the previous posts, but it seems to appreciate me so much that it comes back after all cleaning processes.

I have Vista, which makes it even more annoying as most dos proggies fail to work on this piece of work.

here is my combo fix log

Your help is appreciated. Thank you!
 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
D:\Windows\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk . . . . failed to delete


Let's do it manually. Reboot in safe mode. First print out all instructions although this is easy to do and remember.
You can go in Safe Mode by restarting your computer, then continually tapping F8 until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode, then hit enter.

How to view Hidden files/folders.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html
don't forget to hide files/folders when this is finished

Search and find these files/folders (or navigate to them ) in red below and delete them:
D:\Windows\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
Meaning example click on My Computer, D:/, System32, drivers and then delete core.cache.dsk.
That should be that easy. Also, do it same but in C:/ drive.
When done, reboot in normal mode and please post your hijackThis log. Instructions how to do it, on sticky Essential thread on this forum.
 
Tried but could not erase it =/

This thing is driving me nuts!!

What stopped you from erasing the file? Did it say Access Denied or Another person or user is using this program?
Please download Pocket Killbox and save it to desktop it should be there when you enter safe mode. Use that tool in order to erase the file.
Good luck!
 
nervana1, please post the contents of C:\qoobox\ComboFix2.txt and C:\qoobox\ComboFix3.txt. I'd like to see what ComboFix has done to date.

Please delete the version of ComboFix you have and download an updated one from http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe and save it to your Desktop.

  • Open Notepad (Start -> Run -> type notepad in the Open field -> OK) and copy and paste the text present inside the code box below:

    Code:
    File::
    D:\Windows\system32\drivers\core.cache.dsk
    D:\Windows\System32\drivers\Dot44.sys
  • Save this as CFScript.txt and change the Save as type to All Files and place it on your desktop.


    CFScript.gif



  • Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
  • ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.
CAUTION:
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.

Thank you very much that dot4 file was the culprit behind the reappearance of this nuisance.

Thank you guys!
 
You're welcome.

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.

Some good free firewalls are ZoneAlarm, Kerio, or Outpost. All of these will provide a far greater level of protection than the firewall built into Windows.
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.

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:

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/
