Hello Everyone,

I was just informed on Malwarebytes forum that I was hacked and that someone is using my laptop to harvest bitcoin. My laptop hardware info is in profile. Experience terrible start time, lagging throughout everything, Mozilla experiences freezes and terrible lag. Working on becoming a Whitehat but still new to the whole ordeal so I am in need of serious help. Neither Avast nor M.S.E. were able to find anything. Spybot on the other hand found:





SweetIM: [SBI $A2B8532B] Settings (Registry key, nothing done)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\priam_bho.DLL

SweetIM: [SBI $A2B8532B] Settings (Registry key, nothing done)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\priam_bho.DLL

SweetIM: [SBI $9C9B9F12] Settings (Registry key, nothing done)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\Extensions\jpmbfleldcgkldadpdinhjjopdfpjfjp





I ran cmd.exe and here is my current tasklist:

Follow up by d/l ing & running Windows Offline Defender to be sure it hasn't introduced anything else into your system. Be sure you make this on a clean PC as making it on an infected one can compromise the integrity of the scanner.

Ha slight complication. I do not have access to a clean computer for Win Offline Defender. Then again, I am not at that step quite yet

Did full scan mwbytes. only thing that came up was:

ca_setup.exe (PUP.PasswordTool)

Removing that currently. Was going to run TDSSKiller.exe but if anyone has suggestions, it would be wonderful.

Looks like you had a lot of toolbars. I'm guessing you got these when you installed some of your programs. You have to be cautious when installing any program as a lot of them come bundled with toolbars/programs. Be sure to watch the installation windows and uncheck any toolbar/software options.

Best to run TDSSKiller just to be sure none of those introduced a rootkit. And run Windows Defender Offline as soon as you've made it on a clean PC. Be aware that if any rootkit is found, your best option will be to do a clean install.

As whs pointed out, once your system has been compromised the only 100% way to be sure you got it all is to do a clean install.

Good afternoon! Thank you so much for taking the time to work with me, Borg 686 and whs! I ran a few things in safe mode with networking (have had a sneaky feeling it might have been wrong to have the networking) and will post up the logs. The programs helped tremendously and the https://www.virustotal.com is a gem. Afraid to say that I think the culprit might be more devious than normal because I am exceedingly meticulous about not installing extras: carelessly installed the Babylon one a while ago when I was pushing 72 hours awake and after manually cleaning it up, I have yet to forget the tedious pain the cleanup took. Without further ado. the logs:

OH! Forgot to ask a question before I post logs. I had the idea to do this since I do not have any access whatsoever to a clean computer.


  • Boot into safe mode with networking.
  • Download and install a VirtualBox (Suggestions for what to run inside are needed. I was just going to do the most readily available Linux distribution).
  • Once the VirtualBox is ready and an OS is setup in Safe Mode with Networking, download the Win Offline Defender and make a bootable CD or Flash drive with it.


Theoretically, the idea sounded great to me and fun to test but I do not have the knowledge, nor the experience to know if that would even be a "'clean" environment much less if any other minute or grandiose factors/variables apply. Some that I can think of would be: If downloading and installing/setting up VirtualBox was even possible in Safe Mode with networking? Would making a bootable CD or flashdrive be possible in S.M.w.N.? Even if the environment inside of the VB which would be inside of S.M.w.N. ended up being "clean," would the download still be a failure as a result of coming from the internet where my infected computer has had plenty of time to apart of? Should the download prove to be in a .zip or similar format proven to be clean by various scans, even if the environment was clean or infected, could a switch from Safe Mode with Networking to Safe Mode allow the extraction and creation of the bootable item to remain clean? Last, if the computer was known to have been infected, could it even be trusted to test any of the previous ideas or should one say lesson learned, clean Win install and post to make others aware of the new information?



Think I might post this for everyone to take a swing at and share experience/ideas or dismiss while laughing at me.

I couldn't tell you offhand if that would work or not. When you d/l WDO, it's a small file that will connect to the MS site, d/l an ISO file & burn it to disk or FD. You do have the option to create a bootable ISO file as listed in the tutorial.

Other options you can try are ESET Online scanner. Detailed directions on using it can be found at this post:

http://www.sevenforums.com/system-s...irtool-win32-obfuscator-xz-3.html#post2209760

Another online scanner you can try is Symantec Security Check. Click on the Virus Detection button to start the scan, you'll be prompted to d/l some items. It will only run in IE.

What you decide to do is your choice, however, as me & whs stated, if you want to be 100% sure that it's clean again, then a clean reinstall is your best option. In the future you may wish to consider making a System Image & when something like this happens down the road, you won't have to reinstall.

I do not know if anything can be done with either because they were not made when the laptop was used first and therefore, I am unsure if they are clean or not but I have a backup and a windows image on my external hd. Both made within past two months but have had this laptop for 2 years

Did you have any success in running ESET or Symantec on your laptop? This looks like your only option (online scanners) since you said you don't have access to clean PC to make WDO. Either that or a clean install.

The image file is going to be your call. If your problems started after you made the file, then it might be worth it to give it a shot since it's more recent & you won't have to catch up on too many updates.

Go ahead & delete it, then click finish. Make sure you have the latest version of Java (Version 7 Update 10).

What you have there are listed as Potentially Unwanted Programs, they usually come bundled with other programs. They can contain spyware, malware or viruses depending on the source you got them from.

A PUP is similar to malware in that it may cause problems once it is installed on your computer. However, unlike malware, you consent to a PUP being installed, rather than it installing itself without your knowledge.

Most PUPs are spyware or adware programs that cause undesirable behavior on your computer. Some may simply display annoying advertisements, while others may run background processes that cause your computer to slow down. The label "potentially unwanted program" is a fitting description of these applications because you may not find out about their obnoxious behavior until after they are installed.
Go ahead & re-run Malwarebytes, when finished be sure to check the boxes next to the problems found & put them in quarantine. Malwarebytes, by default, will not remove these unless you specify it to.
