Hi Guys,

Would like to pick your brains!

Can anybody see anything that should not be running on this machine? My links on IE is constantly being taken off the toolbars when I like to have it expanded across the top of my IE window. Also I am receiving a lot of trojan alerts through McAfee and I receive a RUNDLL message on startup.

Thanks in advance guys!!

Just at a glance:

There's not many programs that have a good reason for running in the App Data folder. 99._% of the time, it's malware.*

Incidentally, I'd recommend Autoruns over HijackThis. With the former, you can turn things off/on and can undo a change. HijackThis is a one-way street if you delete something by accident.

Does HijackThis look anywhere that Autoruns doesn't?


edit: * Google Chrome is one of the only programs I can think of that runs there:
Its folder on my machine: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application

The reason I uploaded this log was because McAfee was detecting Trojans. However, it seemed as though McAfee was detecting them and quarenteening them as it should do.


A worrying incident occurred on the users PC last night when she went on to the Bank of Scotland website to make a payment. After logging in to the website as per usual, the user then clicked to go into her account to make the payment. It was at this point that she was prompted with a message saying there was going to be a security check. Her house phone number was on screen and she was asked to confirm this number so she did by clicking 'Continue'. On the next page, it then said that the bank was going to call her to carry out this security check and confirm that this was in fact the owner of the account. So she clicked 'Call me Now'. True enough, the house phone rang and she answered. It then appeared on the computer screen to click on the # key on the phone and then type 0088 on the phone so she did. At this point there was a bit activity ont he screen and the PC looked as though it was loading up next page....at this point she noticed that the heading of the next page read 'Payment Completed'. When the next page was laoded, it was her accounts and roughly £1000 had bene taken from her account by a L R Shaw!!

She was not expecting this payment nor did she want to make this payment! She did not access bank through a search engine or a link. The URL was typed in the address bar and the padlock and the https was all there. She never gave out any details or submitted any details.

She has called the bank and the bank will cover her for the money but it got me thinking, was there soemthing I could have removed to stop this happening? A virus, trojan?? The bank did ask her to run a full system scan but I would have thought this would have been the bank's fault for allowing somebody to compromise their site.

I understand this may be slightly confusing!!

Any thoughts guys???

Thanks in advance!!
 
Let me get this straight in my head..

Your client went onto the RBS website, to make a payment, and was then alerted to this strange security message?

Questions.. Was it the true RBS website, and not a cloned one?

Did the website have the https, and the padlock on it, when she logged in?

From then on, everything was as mentioned in your post?

I personally find this VERY strange, and worrying to say the least. I think the bank should have a look at this immediately, and if needed pass the details onto their fraud department.

Which browser was your client running?

Did the browser come up with 'this site may be fraud etc, and your client simply bypassed it?

Have you tried a manual removal of any virus(es), run Hitman Pro, via cloud, to check the system more thoroughly. Ran a online scanner etc.

Other then that, I am completely clueless..

EDIT, just re-read your post, and saw the part re the https, and the padlock. Apologies.

Thanks for your quick response!

The client was running IE7 if I remember correctly. The client has McAfee Internet Security running and also has the McAfee Site Advisor tool but nothing came up telling the client that this site may be fraud.

It certianly seemed to the clietn to be the correct site and I had a look after and it seemed legit to me, something that may have actually caught myself out!

She has contacted the bank and they are looking into it. I just wondered if there anything ont he PC that may have caused this or do you think it is more at the banks end?

I ran a Virus scan but it didn't find anything.

Thanks Again guys!!

I apologise! It was actually on a client's PC but the way I wrote this is that it was my own just because I thought it was wasier to explain! I do actually work as a Service Desk Analyst and as a mobile Computer Technician!

Besides Mcafee, have you tried any other scans, or manual removal?

Even a online scanner ie trend micro, panda etc.. Hitman pro, would be a good bet in my mind.
 
also it may be worth while running autoruns, and process explorer, and have a look manually for anything which shouldnt be there.
 
If you have some virus-like symptoms but not obvious infection then check for rootkits. First thing I'd do is run TDSSKiller.
 
Right, wee update on this one...

I went back round and ran Hitmanpro and it come back with a trojan which it quarantined.

The same process was found in autoruns.

The process was runnng in C:\Documents and Settings\**User**\Application Data\viyvuk\nepuk.exe

I did notice this program in the registry but everytime i deleted and refreshed it would re-appear.

After running Hitman Pro, Superantispyware and restarting, the file is no longer there. Now I think I have removed the file. Hitman pro no longer finds anything, just hope it's removed and not recreated as a different name.

I feel confident now to say to the user it's removed and PC is clean.

I don't know exactly how it got there? Was it due to the user maybe clicking something or what? A trojan?

Cheers for all your assistance guys.
 
You're welcome.

Take a look at the links in this post to Mark Russinovich's videos. Get to know Process Explorer.
Between (mostly) it, and Autoruns, they can be your two best friends for getting rid of the majority of malware.

There's a dozen different ways this stuff can get on a system, from an independent scripted hijack to a user giving popups permission to install things.
