735546 2009-01-06 09:45:00 Hi,

I have been having problems with a virus which hit me a few days ago, i reformatted completely and all was fine, but it seems i got it again. I am Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 and it cannot find anything but my rundll32.exe changed the icon to a sheet of paper, and all the dates in my system32 folder got changed to August, 4th 2004. It's really frustrating because i just got this all set up again and i run outpost, noscript etc.

Here is my hijackthis log, i hope someone can please help me.

735547 2009-01-06 09:52:00 Did you do a clean install or install over windows (which wont remove it)

You can tick these entries then ticked fix checked

Close browsers

Disable system restore

O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [UpdReg] C:\WINDOWS\UpdReg . EXE

O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTTask . exe" -atboottime

O4 - HKLM\ . . \RunOnce: [LogiSPSetupNeedReboot] rundll32 . exe

Then reboot, then get malwarebytes and trojan remover below .

Update both then scan . Then select all options under utilities in trojan remover

735548 2009-01-06 10:25:00 i had reformatted my 3 hard drives, and did a clean install on one of my drives after doing a full NTFS format. Trojan Remover found nothing and Malwarebytes is currently scanning. What are the chances that it is something that wouldn't be detected by either?

I'll post what malwarebytes says.

thanks again for the help
Petercola (14492)
735549 2009-01-06 10:31:00 No probs. Welcome to PF1 BTW

Scan the system with trojan remover see if it finds anything (open my computer / click on C / right mouse)

Umm thats a possibility, nothing may pick it up (whatever it is)

Dont forget to disable system restore then tick the entries above
Speedy Gonzales (78)
735550 2009-01-06 10:52:00 Thanks for the welcome :P

ok i removed the entries that you listed, i ran malwarebytes and trojan remover and rogue remover .

I got a rundll32 from my original windows xp pro cd and extracted it to the system32 folder, the dllcache and overwrote . However, the rundll32 . exe is still being overwritten everytime i copy it over by one of a different file size of 32 . 5kb (36kb on disk) and modified August, 4th 2004 .

The results of Malwarebytes were:

- Backdoor . Bot
- Heuristic . Reserved . Word . Exploit

Hopefully fixing that will make this all go away

Thanks

EDIT: the rundll32 . exe got created again, so I'm not sure whats making that happen .

Any ideas?

Here's my new hijackthis

735551 2009-01-06 10:58:00 The log looks OK now, remember to click on remove the selected entry / entries. Then reboot if it wants to reboot Speedy Gonzales (78)
735552 2009-01-06 11:08:00 Thanks,

if it looks ok any idea why my rundll32 keeps getting overwritten? thanks
Petercola (14492)
735553 2009-01-06 11:15:00 XP uses Windows file protection (support.microsoft.com), so if you replace a file, (if its a system file), it'll probably replace it after you reboot

Thats probably what youre seeing

And that rundll32 file (if SP2 isnt slipstreamed on the CD), is probably older than whats on the hard drive

And unless you install an hotfix / update or go through windowsupdate, (as stated on the MS site), XP will probably change / reinstall the version that was on the hdd

So, the only way it'll probably update, is if you install SP3 (which may have an updated version of rundll32 in it)
Speedy Gonzales (78)
735554 2009-01-06 11:37:00 oh ok i see

well ive run the scans a few times each after reboots and all seems clear

thank you so much for your help, very much appreciated!
