Sirefef trojan problem

garynuman

Yes, if MSSE refuses to update, just reinstall it. There may even be a "repair" option in Control Panel.

Sirefef inserts itself into the TCP/IP stack, which is the most probable reason MSE can't update.

OK, so if DDS finds what we all expect it's combofix then (I've run MBAM on the netbook to get a feel for how it should behave and it says the netbook is clean, hooray!)

DDS - paranoia being firmly in control now, can I download DDS to a USB stick and run it from that and save the log files to that also? Just so I don't have to go back online with the infected PC.

Also, when MSE wouldn't update yesterday I tried to reinstall and whatever nasty was present on the machine wouldn't let me. As it sounds as if it's still lurking I suspect I'll have the same issue today.

Which makes me wonder if I ought to find out more about this trojan. Could it have been on my PC for much longer than I imagine, just waiting for some sort of trigger? I would feel much more comfortable if it was :rotfl:just:rotfl:one that wreaks immediate havoc!

You can transfer DDS to the desktop of the infected pc via a USB stick if you'd prefer.

There's lots of information about the infection available.

What we were expecting, plus probably much more!

Go here and read through the instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:

Bleeping Computer ComboFix Tutorial

• Ensure you temporarily turn off your antivirus (MSE) before running. Instructions here
• Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts closely.
• When it's finished, it'll produce a log. Post the contents of that log.
• It'll be found on your C:\ drive named combofix.txt

Above all, BE PATIENT! and let it run it's course.

Thanks Waddler_8, I'll read the tutorial now but may not run combofix till tomorrow when I'm fresher, as you say it may take a while and to let it take its course. I don't want to be babysitting it half the night! Are you still available for assistance tomorrow?

waddler_8

It'll should only take around 20 minutes or so to run. I'm going out for an hour now but won't be available for a week or more after today.

It's possible that it may take another run of combofix after the initial run using a specially prepared script dependent on the information from the log from the first run.

The good news is DDS shows very little evidence of sirefef remaining.

Hi Waddler_8

Looks like I have to go for it now then!

I will download combofix onto my trusty USB stick, but the instructions say I will need to have my internet connection running when I execute it, so please keep your fingers crossed for me about this and about un-named nasties allowing me to switch off MSE.

Don't worry about it being connected to the 'net - no harm will come whilst combofix is running.
