MBAM db 1820: F/P Wextract.exe as Trojan.Vundo

c:\windows\system32\wextract.exe (Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor, by Microsoft) is to be mistakenly detected as Trojan.Vundo.   do * NOT * remove it.

I was about to report it, but I see that many others have beaten me to the MBAM forum:

    Thank you, Palcouk and Vinay.

    I have now used various malware programs and changed my antivirus software.  I also used the Scanner for Ms.

  • Firefox.exe suddenly only 2 k (and IE 1 KB) & flagged up as a malware

    January 13 (2015), I was surprised to find my anti-virus (Pure 3.0 at the time) Kaspersky software tracking upward of what follows as a malware (trojan):

    Firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe HOUR: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
    Iexplore.exe C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe TIME: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
    eBay Sidebar for Sidebar C:\Users\David\Desktop\eBay Firefox.lnk for Firefox.lnk HOUR: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena

    I followed the instructions to the quarantine and re - start. No problem. After re-booting, I couldn't access Firefox and discovered that he had indeed been quarantined - with IE (which I use rarely) and eBay Sidebar for Firefox (which I have not used for a long time). On the restoration of these, they are still identified as malware. Further investigation revealed that firefox.exe was only 2 KB - and that is only 1 KB.

    Kaspersky was advised to switch to total security, that I did and it has continued to identify the files as malware. Full virus controls, including safe mode, is not revealed. Run a suite of recommended anti-malware programs don't have pick up a limited number of bits and pieces (and I deleted) that Kaspersky has not, although my research on the net pointing everything be the kind of things that produce advertisements on browsers... not something that would erase or rename programs (I don't see bad ads though, perhaps because of my settings in Firefox Kaspersky and NoScript).

    Kaspersky feels firefox.exe has been altered (on 2 k, it is certainly not right) - Although that corrupt is another question. All other files \Mozilla Firefox seem to be there, and I have no problem with other software or files on my PC (just those three). Again the same thing happened to IE at the same time. That is a hard drive failing very little likely indeed - but it makes me suspicious that there was * something * deliberately made that Kaspersky did not pick up. However, it would be unusual for decent antivirus software like Kaspersky miss something. In addition, the same question must occur widely around the same time, because if everyone around the world lost their browsers he would have made the news - not to mention advertising malware that corrupts the two browsers being rather doomed to failure!

    Either way, the desktop shortcuts have been replaced by the Windows icon by default for programs that do not have a shortcut to measure. And by clicking on what was the shortcut of Firefox opens a DOS window, which closes immediately; IE does the same thing but a "16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem" error box appears (these are the days!) with:
    C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Internet client.lnk
    NTVDM CPU has encountered an invalid statement.
    CS: 123f IP:012d OP: 8f 9f af 6th ba choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
    [By clicking on 'Close' or 'ignore' both close BACK - and that's it.] [No virus or something similar is picked up and four anti-malware programs, I am using now show that my system is clean.

    So my questions are:
    (1) any thoughts on what happened?
    (2) I need to get Firefox working again. Can I simply copy firefox.exe from another machine and replace the existing 2 k firefox.exe and everything should be good, as it was before... or it is not as simple as that? (I understand that Firefox keeps preferences, etc., in separate files).

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Dave

    Sorry, you had this problem

    It my be possible and work if you replace the firefox.exe problem

    However that could cause problems and the solution would be to download and install Firefox again by an official site, and by using a pure install involving the removal of the existing program files. (Care to leave the files and folders from one Firefox profile. In fact, it would be interesting, as a precaution suspenders belts ; Locate and save first)

    As to what happened, you gave a well-reasoned and intelligent summary, but after the event, it's going to is almost impossible to define. Sometimes the AV brand and/or & false positives especially temporarily if not totally updated.

    Clean reinstall it

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device!

  • Satellite A300 - w c:\windows\system32\rpcnet.dll and rpcnet.exe recognized as Trojans

    Hello

  • A single file in my Adobe Reader file detected as trojan? (AcroRd32Info.exe)

    Hey everybody,

    I have a question malware for you guys. A few days ago I let a scan of viruses/malware/etc on my PC (via a program called ClamWin anti-virus), who detected a file as a Trojan horse. Here is the line from Scan report:

    C:\Program Adobe 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32Info.exe: Win.Trojan.Agent - 629666 FOUND


    So it confuses me a little. As you can imagine, I'm not really versed in this topic; but it is even possible that a file of a large company like Adobe could be seriously infected? I mean, it obviously seems to be part of Adobe Reader. Or this file maybe just sneak into this folder and start claiming that it belongs there? Or is there perhaps another reason why it has been detected as a Trojan horse, perhaps a kind of "misunderstanding"?

    In conclusion, should I worry that there really is a horse of Trojan on my PC? In this case, it would be wiser to reinstall my OS and wipe the entire hard drive?

    Thank you!

    First of all, it is a rather old version of the player you have installed... It is not compatible with any modern operating system. You should consider upgrading to the latest version, XI player.

    If you have installed the application directly from Adobe so you can be certain, it contains no malware and there is a file of this name in the original installation of the drive, but it is always possible that an external application infested it. Or it could be a false positive... Maybe ask your AV software manufacturers, or try using another to check a second time.

    try to click on start > run > msconfig

    then under the Startup tab, you will find entries that refer to the programs that are set to start automatically when windows starts.

    You can probably find one of the references corresponding to this faulty .exe and you can turn it off.

  • Vundo, BHO malaware as mine PC - I don't like them. PLEASE HELP OUT. I dropped...

    I have Windows XP Home SP2 Dell XPS GEN3 (excluding guarantees and support, but still kicking).

    Yesterday I was unfortunate enough to get Antivirus 2008 - very frustrating experience. Read here and use MBAM to remove it. However, during the second test, I was careful to the left on the junk and it was Vundo, BHO (did not specify) and a few other things malaware. I tried to run MBAM - nothing, MBAM tent (or at least it say) to remove on reboot, but they keep coming back. I went to the safe MODE, disabled the system restore and MBAM used again - same result.

    I googled the problem - found FixVundo.exe here from Symantec. Run in mode safe mode with CATERING to the wide and no result once again (this time FixVundo said that there is no such malaware found on my PC).

  • Cannot remove trojan apparent - continues to add registry entries

    I am working on a Dell 2400 that was not (until recently) updated or properly protected with a firewall / virus protection.

    I tried the copy of the demo of Norton Antivirus and it had detected I think:
    Trojan.fakeavalert and another who was virtumundo trojan.vundo or Trojan (I forgot the name)

    Recently, I uninstalled NAV installed the following:

    ZoneAlarm Internet Security (and all updated)
    AdAware 2008 - free version (and it's also up-to-date)

    The two ZoneAlarm & AdAware run fairly clean except for the cookies, etc. (low priority stuff)

    My problem right now is that there is something that is adding entries to the registry (even in safe mode), and it causes many web pages to pop up in IE7 or FireFox.
    The entries that I find in the registry are:
    \HKLM\software\microsoft\windws\currentversion\run
    Rundll32.exe "c:\windows\system32\rulufutu.dll",a"
    Rundll32.exe "c:\windows\system32\piyudijo.dll",a"
    Rundll32.exe "c:\windows\system32\kitehuvu.dll",a"

    When I delete these entries (even in safe mode), they are added in a few seconds.

    Try scans with both of these programs in the following order:

    Please disable other security software that may cause conflicts with the scans. (Remember to enable it later.)

    Instructions on how to do that are HERE.

    Please download for your desktop Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware here or here

    Double-click on mbam - setup.exe to install the application.

    • Make sure that a check mark is placed next to the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and launch of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and then click Finish.
    • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    • Once the program has loaded, select "perform quick scan", then click scan.
    • The analysis may take some time at the end, so please be patient.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, and then view the results to view the results.
    • Make sure that everything is checked
      Click Remove selected.
    • End of disinfection, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart. (See additional Note)
    • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

    Additional notes:
    If MBAM finds a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompt, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection, if asked to restart the computer, you can do so immediately.
    * If you cannot download or install MBAM on your computer, see if you can use the computer to a friend or family member to download MBAM. Use this link to update here to manually download the update. Once downloaded, rename the Setup file "mbam - setup.exe" to something like "catchjunk.exe". Copy the installation file and the update on a CD or a flash drive file. Transfer the file on the infected computer. Install the "catchjunk.exe" file, and then run the update so that you get the current definitions. After that, run a full scan of the system and select to have the program REMOVE everything it finds.

    * If you need to re - install MBAM but problem by reinstalling, try using the MBAM Cleanup utility by downloading from http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-clean.exe

    Download and scan with Super Anti-Spyware free for individuals. It is available HERE:
    * Double-click on SUPERAntiSypware.exe and use the default settings for the installation.
    * An icon will be created on your desktop. Double-click this icon to start the program.
    * If it is asked to update the program definitions, click "Yes." If this isn't the case, update the definitions before scanning them by selecting 'Check for Updates. (If you have problems downloading updates, download and unzip them from heremanually.)
    * Under "Configuration and preferences, click Preferences .
    * Click the scanning control tab.
    * Under Scanner Options make sure the following is checked (leave all other non controlled):

    Close browsers before scanning.
    Search the rejected.
    Terminate memory threats before quarantining.

    * Click on the "Close" button to leave the control center screen.
    * Back on the main screen, under "Scan for harmful software" click Scan your computer.
    * On the left, make sure you check C:\Fixed drive.
    * On the right, under "Complete Scan", choose perform complete scan.
    * Click 'Next' to start the scan. Please be patient while it scans your computer.
    * Once the scan is finished, a Scan summary box will appear with potentially dangerous elements that have been detected. Click on 'OK '.
    * Make sure that everything is checked, and click "next".
    * A notification will appear this "quarantine and removal is complete. Click 'OK' and then click on the 'Finish' button to return to the main menu.
    * If it is requested if you want to restart, click 'yes '.

    If that does not solve the problem, maybe it would be good according to a journal of control on the malware removal Forum.

    Be sure to read the instructions at the top of the forum.

    Hello

    Read this information about this Malware.

    http://www.prevx.com/filenames/2108630271898590013-X1/Ave.exe.html

    http://www.prevx.com/filenames/2098712039678712637-X1/AVP.exe.html

    Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#winxo

    Windows XP

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the machine starts first, yet once it will list usually some equipment that is installed on your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a menu of Advanced Options in Windows XP.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking option using the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start safe mode.
    5. Make all the necessary tasks and when finished restart to start in normal mode.

    Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

    RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

    Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

    Get your installation media, product keys, backup, etc. all together.

    Low level formatting (writing zero or zeros) the hard drive.

    Your installation media to restore the system to factory settings.  (Clean install).

    Continue to use your computer - but get best antivirus (eSet NOD32 AntiVirus - I suggest you not the sequel) and an anti-malware application (I suggest MalwareBytes AntiMalware).

    Why this extreme?  In the end - it's what's going to happen anyway if you ever want to be fully confident in this machine again.

  • Help with RunDLL error on startup

    Laptop - Dell Inspiron 1420, Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T5450 at 1.66 GHz 1.67 GHz

    Operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1

    Exact error message: RunDLL error loading C:\Users\Jill\AppData\Roaming\wmhjhdju.dll (2 separate windows open with the same error during start-up)

    How many time I get this error message?  Just started today, 01/04/09 after I did the following:

    1 Ran Trend Micro PC-cillin lastnight manually to about 11 p because of the threat of viruses.
    2 2A found pshbfapc.dll (C:\Users\Jill\AppData\Local\Temp\) in quarantine Date 01/04/01 00:11, the status has virus
    apstpldr.dll [1] .htm ( C:\Users\Katiebug\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet...) Quarantined Date 01/04/01 00:17, a virus status
    3. it does not pick up any spy software
    4. this morning I thought it would be best to run Trend Micro again, but in safe mode, so I could put one new restore point and other.  Little I didn't know, it does not run in safe mode.
    5 downloaded free AVG and Windows Defender to run in safe mode
    6 went to safe mode and started AVG free.  It lasted about 1 and 1/2 hours, which surprised me.

    7. free report AVG:

    8 Windows Defender found nothing...

    9. laptop rebooted in normal mode, so I could create a restore point and that's when the RunDLL window errors popped up twice

    I've exhausted myself looking on the net and the answer I get is to download Regcleaner to fix dll errors.  I've always learned not to mess with the registry.  I'm also not sure what I pay for if it's ligit or not.

    Should I run AVG Free, Windows Defender, and Trend-Micro all at the same time

    Should I just start Trend Micro, then when I want to scan virus in safe mode Windows Defender and AVG free?

    As I sit here typing this on my laptop not affected, the Trend-Micro on my laptop infected started a scan for virus/Malware on its own.

    Thank you

    Hi Fit4lyf8,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.  First of all, thank you for providing so much information in your message.  It really helps to solve the problem when we have all the information we need!  Because AVG found so many Trojan virus the likelihood other files are damaged seems quite high.  RunDLL error is also a good indicator.  I think that the best starting point is to try to run the System File Checker.  This tool (SFC. (EXE) check files in use windows and, if problems are found, restore a good version of the file.  When running Windows Vista in Normal Mode or Mode without failure, you can use the following steps:

    1. open a CMD window as an administrator. (ORB start, all programs, accessories, right-click on command prompt, and then click Run As Administrator)

    2. run this command:
    sfc/scannow

    3 monitor the results returned by SFC.

    Watch carefully the result of present SFC in the command prompt window. The three possibilities and their conclusions are:

    o SFC found no problem
    This means that versions of the correct system files are used by Windows Vista, SFC.exe can determine. If you're still having problems in Windows, it could be questions of registry (SFC checks the files, not the registry), software installed on Windows or equipment.

    o the SFC found and fixed the problems
    This means that the SFC may have solved your problem. Try to reproduce the problem again. If the problem persists, it may be that there is unrelated to system file issues. But the presence of these questions could indicate that corruption

    o the found but SFC could not fix problems
    This means that there are more important issues with the Windows system files. It could be that you have corruption in the SFC store uses for recovery. In this case, you may need to reinstall VIsta.

    Before you decide to reinstall VIsta let us know the results of the analysis of the system files.  There may be other measures we can take before reinstalling.  I hope this information is useful.

    Thank you

    Jack
