Beast virus removal help

[BD55]

Found adwarewin32.lokup(a) and backdoor.win32.beast(a) on my computer. Quarantined both. But computer still running weird. All subsequent scans are fine. I've attached the files you recommend. DO you see anything suspect? How do I get rid of the quarantined files?

Hi,



Please download Malwarebytes AntiRootkit (MBAR) and save it to your desktop.
For full instructions how MBAR works, read this article

> Doubleclick on the MBAR file

and allow it to run.
• Click OK on the next screen, to allow the package to extract the contents of the file to its own folder named mbar.
• mbar.exe will launch automatically. On some systems, this may take a few extra seconds. Please be patient and wait for the program to open.
• After reading the Introduction, click Next if you agree.

• On the Update Database screen, click on the Update button. Once you see 'Success: Database was successfully updated' click on Next
• Under Scan Targets ensure all boxes are ticked. Then click the Scan button.

Notice: with some infections, you may see two messages boxes:
- 'Could not load protection driver'. Click 'OK'.
- 'Could not load DDA driver'. Click 'Yes' to this message, to allow the driver to load after a restart. Allow the computer to restart. Continue with the rest of these instructions.

>> If malware is not detected, click the Exit button to close the program and post the mbar-log-year-month-day.txt and system-log.txt reports.

>> If an infection/s are found ensure Create Restore Point are ticked. Then select the "Cleanup! button to remove threats.
• The clean up procedure will be scheduled for process, pop-up will be shown.
Select the Yes button and the system should re-boot to complete the cleaning process.

>> Notice: only if an RootKit are detected, ensure to run fixdamage.exe tool located in mbar folder, \Plugins\fixdamage.exe
- Run fixdamage.exe, at the black window to continue type Y (alias for Yes). Wait few seconds for execution ...
- When you see "press any key to exit" fix is completed, press any key to close the window. Reboot the system.


> The following reports will be created in mbar folder:
1. mbar-log-year-month-day (hour-minute-second).txt
2. system-log.txt

Please post both logs in your next reply.

Ran MBAR. Nothing found. Attached the two files. Downloaded zoek, but it wouldn't run. I shut off the online scanning for my BitDefender, but it kept warning about the file being run. I followed the instructions to disconnect but it doesn't seem completely disconnected. Is there something I missed?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

You need to disable your Antivirus before running Zoek.

 

[BD55]

I disabled online scanning as per your site's instructions. How to I disable to program completely?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Read my instructions, I gave you two links how to disable your antivirus...

 

[BD55]

Ok, I figured it out. Had to disable online scanning AND go into game mode. File attached.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Run Zoek once more with this script

C:\PROGRA~2\Search-Protect;fs
autoclean;
emptyalltemp;
emptyclsid;
ipconfig /flushdns;b

 

[BD55]

Script run. File attached.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Is problem still out there?

 

[BD55]

Everything seems ok. BitDefender has blocked a few port access attempts; not sure if that's related. My boot up seems a bit longer but if I'm safe it doesn't matter. Am I clean now? Can you tell what virus(es) were removed?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Yes, you're clean


• The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;

Remove disinfection tools

Create registry backup

Purge System Restore
Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.
