I have caught the malware called wincodecpro. It disables all sound. My desktop is white and says
"Warning All media systems on your computer have crashed! To resolve this issue and restore your system, update your media codec."

I have run the updated malware bytes and it does not kill the malware. I cannot post the log because notepad will not open. I also ran Avira Antivirus and it did not kill it. I ran Hijack this but the notepad will not open so I can't give you those results either.

The taskbar shows a redcircle with an X in the middle that pops up an error message trying to get me to by wincodecpro. It says " Warning!!! Windows System error! Possible reasons: Media system crash, unable to play media files."

This one is insidious. It seems to get stronger as the days go on. lol. I have been fighting this one for two days and no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Please download ComboFix from Here or Here 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 and renamed following this process directly to your desktop**

1. If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:
   
   • Tools->Options->Main tab
   • Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".
2. During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
4. Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
5. Close any open browsers.
6. 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.
     
     -----------------------------------------------------------
   
   
   • 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.
   
   
   -----------------------------------------------------------
7. Double click on combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.
8. When finished, it will produce a report for you.
9. Please post the "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.

**Note: Do not mouseclick combo-fix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

If you still cannot get this to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode."

If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but name Combofix.exe to iexplore.exe instead, or winlogon.exe..
This because It also happens in some cases that malware blocks EVERY process except for what is in its own whitelist, so this whitelist also includes system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe...

Ron,

Thanks for the reply. After the combo-fix I was able to save the malware log and the hijackthis log you will find below. Hopefully the info will help stop this malware returning. I have followed these steps from prior advice on this page and the malware returned within hours. Here is the info you requested. I uploaded the malware but it seems to not accept the highjack this. I will copy the text below and the malware.txt below that incase the upload version did not come across.

STEP 01
Download but do not yet run ComboFix
If you have a previous version of Combofix.exe, delete it and download a fresh copy.
Download it to your DESKTOP - it MUST run from the Desktop
download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe

Using your mouse, Highlight and then Right-click | Copy the entire contents of the Code box below, including blank lines


Open a new Notepad session (Do not use a Word Processor or WordPad). Click "Format" and be certain that Word Wrap is not enabled. Right-click | Paste the Code box contents from above into Notepad. Click File, Save as..., and set the location to your Desktop, and enter (including quotation marks) as the filename: "CFscript.txt" .

Using your mouse, drag the new file CFscript.txt and drop it on the Combo-Fix.exe icon as shown:

• Important: Have no other programs running. Your Task Bar should be clear of any program entries including your Browser.
• Disconnect from the Internet.
• Disable your Antivirus software. If it has Script Blocking features, please disable these as well.
• A window may open with a series of Disclaimers. Accept the Disclaimers to start the fix.
• It may identify that Recovery Console is not installed. Please accept when asked if you wish it to be installed.
  When the scan completes Notepad will open with with your results log open. Do a File, Exit.

A caution - Do not run Combofix more than once. Do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed, as this may cause the process to stall or your computer to lock. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop. Even when ComboFix appears to be doing nothing, look at your Drive light. If it is flashing, Combofix is still at work.

Post back the Combofix log on your next reply.

STEP 02
Update and Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• Start MalwareBytes AntiMalware (Vista users must Right click and choose RunAs Admin)
• Please DO NOT run MBAM in Safe Mode unless requested to, you MUST run it in normal Windows mode.
  
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Select the Update tab
  • Click Update
• When the update is complete, select the Scanner tab
• Select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. please copy and paste the log into your next reply
  • If you accidently close it, the log file is saved here and will be named like this:
  • C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt

Then post back the MBAM log and a new Hijackthis log.

Well.

The first combofix seemed to have fixed the issue except for having no sound. This latest combo fix brought it all back.
I cannot open notepad anymore. I was able to get the combofix log but cant open notepad to send it so I am trying to send it as an attachment. Any ideas?

Mark

Using your directions here is the last MBAM log as well. Uploaded since I can't get into notepad.

I think my second post messed up your post count. That probably got me lost in the shuffle.

Nothing to add here just checking in and hopefully this fixes my post count and gets me back in the queue.

Please click on START - RUN and type in MSCONFIG and go to the Services tab and ENABLE ALL and reboot.
Then do it again and go to General and set to Normal Startup and reboot.

If any issues doing that please let me know.

I ran the msconfig in services tab and general tab. I can't run the other two utilities. Wincodecpro still has control of notepad and stops most programs from running at all. I think we need to start all over. It seems when I run combofix it lasts a few hours and wincodecpro is back as strong as ever. Am I toast? Reinstall windows and format harddrive time?

Here is the Eset scan. Copied it in because notepad doesn't work. I have added the last combofix and mbam logs as uploaded files.

Well first off you don't have any Anti-Virus installed and running. You NEED to install, update and run an Anti-Virus program
If you don't have one then I recommend Avira AV at least for now.
http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira..._antivirus.html


STEP 00
Please download and run the following program to see if it can restore your notepad file associations
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_txt_fix.zip

STEP 01
Download but do not yet run ComboFix
If you have a previous version of Combofix.exe, delete it and download a fresh copy.
Download it to your DESKTOP - it MUST run from the Desktop
download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe

Using your mouse, Highlight and then Right-click | Copy the entire contents of the Code box below, including blank lines


Open a new Notepad session (Do not use a Word Processor or WordPad). Click "Format" and be certain that Word Wrap is not enabled. Right-click | Paste the Code box contents from above into Notepad. Click File, Save as..., and set the location to your Desktop, and enter (including quotation marks) as the filename: "CFscript.txt" .

Using your mouse, drag the new file CFscript.txt and drop it on the Combo-Fix.exe icon as shown:

• Important: Have no other programs running. Your Task Bar should be clear of any program entries including your Browser.
• Disconnect from the Internet.
• Disable your Antivirus software. If it has Script Blocking features, please disable these as well.
• A window may open with a series of Disclaimers. Accept the Disclaimers to start the fix.
• It may identify that Recovery Console is not installed. Please accept when asked if you wish it to be installed.
  When the scan completes Notepad will open with with your results log open. Do a File, Exit.

A caution - Do not run Combofix more than once. Do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed, as this may cause the process to stall or your computer to lock. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop. Even when ComboFix appears to be doing nothing, look at your Drive light. If it is flashing, Combofix is still at work.

Post back the Combofix log on your next reply.

STEP 02
Update and Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• Start MalwareBytes AntiMalware (Vista users must Right click and choose RunAs Admin)
• Please DO NOT run MBAM in Safe Mode unless requested to, you MUST run it in normal Windows mode.

  • Click Update
• When the update is complete, select the Scanner tab
• Select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. please copy and paste the log into your next reply
  • If you accidently close it, the log file is saved here and will be named like this:
  • C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt

Then post back the MBAM log

STEP 03
Please go into the Control Panel, Add/Remove and for now remove ALL versions of JAVA

Then run this tool to help cleanup any left over Java
Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.

Hey Ron,

I believe I completed all the steps successfully. Every time I reboot the wincodecpro thing comes back. It has kept notepad unusable. Here are the logs you requested as attachments.
I am still infected with no sound, no notepad, and limited application usage. This thing is insidious.

Mark

Okay, I need to get more information as to what's going on.

1. Your Avira AV shows that it is outdated. So #1 you MUST update it and do a FULL SYSTEM scan and then post back the log it returns.
2. Is notepad still physically there or was it deleted?
3. How do you know you have wincodecpro still? What do you see or what indicates you have it ?
4. I am still infected with no sound, no notepad, and limited application usage (What do you mean by limited application usage?) Are you getting errors or they won't launch, please provide more details as I'm not there to see what you're seeing. Do you get ACCESS DENIED errors or some other error?

Please edit your CFSCRIPT.TXT file and remove what is there now and replace it with this and run Combofix again using this updated CFSCRIPT.TXT file.

Thanks for your patience. I did a manual update and was finally able to run a full Antivir system scan. It helped alot. I had been getting the white desktop saying buy wincodec pro and the popup in the taskbar urging me to purchase. It is all gone now. My notepad wasn't able to open at all. It would flash on the page and go away. It works now. I wasn't able to run any videos, movies, or games because wincodec would pop up and close them immediately. That has gone away as well.

The only issue now is no sound. I'll run your latest combofix and send the mbam, combofix, antivir and hijack this logs.

STEP 01
Please download Lop S&D
Double-click on Lop S&D.exe
Choose the language, then choose Option 1 (Search)
Wait till the end of the scan
Post the log which is created: (%SystemDrive%\lopR.txt), typcially C:\lopR.txt

STEP 02

Please create a BOOTLOG
• Delete the following file if it exists. C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt
• Restart the computer and press F8 when Windows start booting. This will bring up the startup options.
• Select "Enable Boot Logging" option and press enter.
• Windows prompts you to select a Windows Installation (even if there is only one windows installation)
• This boots windows normally and creates a boot log named ntbtlog.txt and saves it to C:\Windows
   
  If you're already running inside Windows you can enable it the following way.
   
• Click on START - RUN and type in MSCONFIG go to the BOOT.INI tab and place a check mark by /BOOTLOG
• Click on OK and you will be prompted to RESTART Windows. Please do restart now.
• After Windows restarts open the file C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt with Notepad
• From the Edit menu choose Select All then Edit, COPY and post that back on your next reply.
• NOTE: If the file is over about 150 lines or so then DELETE the C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt file and restart the computer and post the NEW one it creates.
• NOTE: Vista users can type in the Search and it will show on the menu, then Right click and choose Run as Adminsitrator
• The tab is called BOOT on Vista. Then choose Boot log

STEP 03
RootRepeal - Rootkit Detector

Close ALL applications and as many items in the task tray that will stop and exit.
• Please download the following tool: RootRepeal - Rootkit Detector
• Direct download link is here: RootRepeal.rar
• If you don't already have a program to open a .RAR compressed file you can download a trial version from here: WinRAR
• Extract the program file to a new folder such as C:\RootRepeal
• Run the program RootRepeal.exe and go to the REPORT tab and click on the Scan button
• Select ALL of the checkboxes and then click OK and it will start scanning your system.
• If you have multiple drives you only need to check the C: drive or the one Windows is installed on.
• When done, click on Save Report
• Save it to the same location where you ran it from, such as C:\RootRepeal
• Save it as your_name_rootrepeal.txt - where your_name is your forum name
• This makes it more easy to track who the log belongs to.
• Then open that log and select all and copy/paste it back on your next reply please.
• Quit the RootRepeal program.

That all worked fine. Attached you will find all of the files requested.

I think you have to start your own thread. They go by threadcounts in here and if they see your reply they think they have replied to me. Hopefully this post will put the count back in place so they know it's their turn to respond.

This one is a tough one though. Good luck!

Please start Regedit and browse to this location and export the key and post back the results please.

That file is a Microsoft file: Unimodem Serial Wave driver
However most systems seem to use this one, including my system: "wave"="wdmaud.drv"
Try changing that one in the Registry to use wdmaud.drv and rebooting and see if it works or not.
Go into the Control Panel and make sure you check all the Audio settings and speaker connections

Also, please run this:
Please download and run these tools which are designed to restore some standard policy settings. They are not harmful.

VArestorepolicies.INF
• Download this INF repair file from here: VArestorepolicies.zip by MS-MVP Miekiemoes
• Unzip or open the file VArestorepolicies.zip
• Open the folder VArestorepolicies and Right-click the file inside, VArestorepolicies.INF and choose Install

FixPolicies.exe
• Download this self-extracting ZIP archive from here: FixPolicies.exe by MS-MVP Bill Castner and save it to your desktop.
• Double-click FixPolicies.exe
• Click the "Install" button on the bottom toolbar of the box that will open
• The program will create a new Folder called FixPolicies
• Double-click to Open the new Folder, and then double-click the file within: Fix_Policies.cmd
• A black box will briefly appear and then close
• These fixes may prove temporary. Active malware may revert these changes on your next startup. You can safely run these utilities again.

No luck. I changed to wdmaud.drv. I successfully ran fix polices.
No luck with the Varestorespolicies. I click that inf file and there is no install choice. It opens up some text in notepad.
In my control panel audio settings alot of that stuff is totally greyed out. No way to check the boxes.
Weird one eh?

There is no installer - when you RIGHT CLICK you should see an option for INSTALL

Open the folder VArestorepolicies and Right-click the file inside, VArestorepolicies.INF and choose Install

Well at this point I don't think it is infected anymore and is probably just related to damage from the infection.
Please open a new post in the PC Help forum and see if they can assist you in getting the Audio working again.

Thanks.

Okay let me leave you with this then and go ahead and close your post here, and you can then open a new one in the PC Help forum.
So how did I get infected in the first place?


Thanks.
