My mom just got a Major "Drive By Download".......

nightwheel · Post by **nightwheel** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 10:30 am

of a Spyware/Malware/Virus combo.

My mom's PC just got hit hard. And I mean Hard. She got a email in her hotmail that looked like it came from either MSNBC or CNN saying a Plane Crashed into a school and Killed a bunch of kids. Being the kind of person my mom is. She went to the link. Instead she got a drive by download of Antivirus XP 2008. A Very bad Spyware/Malware/Virus combo. And it installed it's self onto my mom's PC. In a attempt to she turned her computer off. But I was too late, Antivirus XP 2008 got done installing. She started her PC back up. Antivirus XP 2008 XP went nuts, Giving false Virus Threats and Changed her Background. We had to go download Spy Bot S&D. But what ever this thing is, Spy Bot had a hard time finding it.

Word of Caution, Don't Go to any links in emails that look like they came from CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, or any other major news networks or sites. You do NOT WANT "Antivirus XP 2008" on your computer. This thing infects both XP and Vista computers. And from what I have experienced so far, This thing is hard as heck to Kill

Thought you guys needed to Know and Warn ya.

Most importantly, isolate that computer!!! Either unplug every other computer from your network or put it in a DMZ. (We have a wireless box between the two firewalls, which is really helpful for this.) You want to keep your healthy machines safe.

The absolute last-ditch solution is to save all her stuff to a completely different volume, run the system restore CD, and pray like crazy the backups aren't infected. (Install legit antivirus software before re-connecting the backup drive. As long as there's no autorun files on it, you shouldn't get any surprises.) This worked for my cousin's Dell, which had 16 trojans in the temp directory, and wouldn't load Explorer, the command prompt, or even Notepad. (And this is with a limited account; imagine the kind of carnage he could have inflicted as an admin.) If you do this, I recommend running the PC Decrapifier first thing, to get rid of any OEM trash.

However, I like to give an existing install one chance to get clean, because migrating to a fresh install is never fun.

Don't trust System Restore with fixing it; in my experience it gets hammered by viruses.

Next, install and run AdAware. (Run it in Safe Mode with Networking, if possible.)

Then, as an administrator, run MSconfig (Start -> Run -> msconfig). Go under the Services tab, check the "Hide all Microsoft Services" box. Now uncheck everything. Also un-check everything in the Startup tab.

Run HijackThis, save a log, and post it here. We'll help you pick out the stragglers.

Once it's all clean, open the System properties panel, and remove all the old System Restore points by turning System restore off for a couple minutes and re-enabling it.

Anyone who says "Ubuntu will solve your problem" will get e-pimp-slapped.

It's also very user unfriendly by nature, and no offense to Nightwheel's mom but if she doesn't know better than to click on links in unsolicited email she shouldn't even think about any Linux distribution, even one that tries to put a nice face on the system like Ubuntu. Linux as it stands now is a horrible desktop solution for the average home user.

But Ubuntu is more secure...

oh, and for the OP, look into a program called SmitFraudFix. It's cleaned up some pretty nasty viruses.

Here man. Easist fix. Cnet goes by this too.

All you have to do is a system restore. I suggest, a restore to about a week ago. Just to be safe.

Ive gotten this before, and thats how I fixed it also. Just a simple system restore.

I've had that virus before. My solution was just to install Ubuntu. My computer illiterate family seem to be happy with it.

We nearly got rid of it. Still got a few things left to get rid of apearntly. It installed a lovely screen saver of windows xp startup and then it would blue screen, all fake of course. I have made a HiJackThis log. I have in a minute or two

And bic, my mom is very smart when it comes to computers. She taught me a lot of what I know about computers today. It was one those slip ups that every body does sometime in their life. And to be honest, This isn't the first time Antivirus XP has try to get on my mom's PC. She ran into a site pop up a few weeks back for the same stupid thing.

Also, We have lost "Run" in the start menu. How do we get it back?

I nearly got hit by this thing when I went to another forum. They were running either Invision Powerboard or Simple Machines Forum. Unplugging my switch's backbone connection really quickly prevented infection; AVG came up clean, and there are no odd changes or weird files created today here.

It's kind of amusing how they poorly disguise it as legit software.

Keep your eyes peeled. If you see anything out of the ordinary pop up here, PLEASE make a post about it in F42!

@nightwheel: Sorry, I didn't know your mom was that technologically inclined. From what I've seen, finding someone who really knows what to do in these situations isn't very easy. Unfortunate, but it keeps people like us in business. I just went by the apparent majority of end-users, and (admittedly) the Joe Sixpack end user stereotype.

You can get the Run command with the [Windows key] + R key combo.

Did you do a system restore like I said?

No Because when the thing installed it's self. It removed all of my mom's old restore points and set a restore point of it's own. I thought it would not be safe to restore to that point.

Also, The idiotic thing is gone. Got rid of it. Everything seems to be back to normal.

Don't slap me. Always wanted an excuse to convert my family desktop to penguin power and that virus was the thing that swayed me to Linux. No nasty virii yet
