My First Computer Virus

16 years ago

I ran a complete AVG scan last night and I had the usual tracking cookies but when I opened the Resident Shield it said I had a Win32/Fujacks virus

Virus found Win/Fujacks

Object C\WINNT\system 32\dllcache\sigtab.dll

Result Infected

Type File

Process c\WINNT\system\winlogon.exe

I didn't know what to do with it so I ran a full Malwarebyte Scan and this was the log produced.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.38

Database version: 2360

Windows 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4

7/1/2009 6:13:22 PM

mbam-log-2009-07-01 (18-13-22).txt

Scan type: Full Scan (C:\:)

c:\RECYCLER\s-1-5-21-1177238915-688789844-842925246-1000\Dc1.exe (Rogue.Installer) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

c:\RECYCLER\s-1-5-21-1177238915-688789844-842925246-1000\Dc2.exe (Rogue.Installer) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

c:\RECYCLER\s-1-5-21-1177238915-688789844-842925246-1000\Dc3.exe (Rogue.Installer) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

I then used the Remove button to remove it.

Avg also found a potentially harmful Fake-AntiSpyware.

ALL C:Program Files\AdwareAlert\AdwareAlert.exe

One was deleted and the other was moved into the Virus Vault.

Are these the same ones that Malwarebytes found.

I don't know too much about computers. Is the infected virus gone now?

My operating system is Windows 2000 Professional

Thanks for any help you may have to offer me.

This pic may explain it better. This is one I am working on now.--Ron

Virus has taken over my computer

this particular infection which is definitely what it sounds like he has, blocks your antivirus program so it does not matter if he has one or not he can not use it and it will not allow you to go to an antivirus site and get one.(there are several that will disable your onboard AV however) It blocks most known addresses for security programs. Some variants have shown to turn off system restore and not make safe mode available. With out the use of specific written scripts for it there is not much that a regular person can do. Which is why the security help forums are so important for these type situations, they work hand in hand with program writers to get the newest and latest programs to try to clean these darn things out. Unfortunately many people have no clue help is out there. One of the reasons we all try to cover so many forums so we can direct them to help. To bad we can not help them all.

Best anti-virus program for the computer?
Q
Comments (21)
I don't think 6 years is bad for computer life. Technology changes so fast that many change computers often even if nothing is wrong with the old one. But, have you had the computer looked at? See what it would take to have it fixed? We have a desktop system that is very rarely used. Hubby has a laptop and I have a netbook. I love my netbook (small laptop). I like Apple products. We both have Iphones and I use an Ipad. However, at work we use Dell and MS programs. I also do hubby's contract work bookkeeping, some of which goes on to the accountant. The accountant uses MS. So, no Mac for us. My dad is crazy over his! I don't think though that you have to go with a Mac to avoid virus problems. You don't open email attachments unless you know what they are - right? I'd be curious as to where you're picking up the virus.

Excellent you are in the best hands. The team there will be able to help you.. I had let Corrine know you were coming. I see you there now. The team at Landzdown work at many many of the professional malware removal forums but I prefer to send people there because it is a smaller group and the people are very good at being patient and specific hands on experience. Many from GW have been helped there. All of the ASAP-Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals regulated forum's are great and you will see many of the same names on them, the pros spend an amazing amount of time volunteering. Good luck
