microsoft security essentials not working and windows update error

[Jacee]

Backdoor:Win32/Pasur!rt <--- this is a 'backdoor Trojan' .... here's some information about this type of Trojan:

These are the most dangerous, and most widespread, type of Trojan.
Backdoor Trojans provide the author or ‘master’ of the Trojan with remote ‘administration’ of victim machines. Unlike legitimate remote administration utilities, they install, launch and run invisibly, without the consent or knowledge of the user. Once installed, backdoor Trojans can be instructed to send, receive, execute and delete files, harvest confidential data from the computer, log activity on the computer and more.

If your computer was used for online banking or has credit card information on it, all passwords should be changed immediately to include those used for email, eBay and forums.
You should consider them to be compromised.

They should be changed by using a different computer and not the infected one, if not an attacker may get the new passwords and transaction information.
Banking and credit card institutions should be notified of the possible security breech.

ok this scan could take a few hours. Am I correct in thinking this backdoor trojan would have edited the webemtest configuration so I cant use it?

 

[VistaKing]

A trojan could do anything . Yes the scan could take a while .

 

[graphic333]

I think I know the program the backdoor trojan was in. I deleted the folder that had the trojan. Also I never installed this program directly.

It is now deleted from my recycle bin, and I would hope that microsoft security would not identify it on a full scan.

Should I restore my system to about a week ago when the file was downloaded having deleted it now, run MSE and delete it in safe mode, or should I continue with what we are doing here which I assume is something like locating any rootkits.

and thanks, so far this has helped me out alot.

I think the scan could take 2 days.

Shouldn't take that long as less your hard drive is a TB .

After we are clean we will delete your system restores and create a new one .

p

yep about 1tb

After we are clean we will delete your system restores and create a new one .

sounds good, anything to avoid re-installing because it would take me at least a week working full time to get back to how it 'was' running.

thanks guys

Once that is done run

TDSSKILLER

download link :ar: TDSSKiller

Save to the Desktop

Right-click the program and select

When the TDSSKiller console opens, click on: Change Parameters
Under Additional Options, place a check in the box next to: Detect TDLFS File System

Click: OK


Press: Start Scan


If a suspicious object is detected, the default action is Skip, leave it as is, and click on: Continue
If malicious objects are found, they show in the Scan results.
Ensure Cure (the default) is selected, then click: Continue > Reboot now, to finish the cleaning process.
(Note: If Cure is not available, select Skip, >>Do not select: Delete<<)


When done, the tool outputs its log to the disk with the Windows Operating System, normally C:\


Logs have a name like:
C:\TDSSKiller.X.X.X_12.04.2013_15.31.43_log.txt


Please post the TDSSKiller log in your reply.

I can't believe Im using explorer for this lol. realising I could have used chrome just now or firefox....[edit] using chrome downloaded version now, alot faster

 

[graphic333]

ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
When the scan completes, click List Threats
Click Export, and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
Click the Back button.
Click the Finish button.

Should I at any point delete what has been listed, will it give me that option. Sorry I should have this file soon. I cancelled two scans by mistake.

 

[VistaKing]

It should delete the items it finds automatically if you followed the steps .

 

[graphic333]

ok attached. btw when I clicked finish it was very fast in taking me to the option of free trial or purchase. Does it definitely delete and quarantine everything?

 

[VistaKing]

Yes . I see a few KeyGens remove those programs that were installed using a key gen .

 

[graphic333]

ok Im deleting them, then restarting to try and get the updates done! Ill also add the next attachment. thanks

Im deleting so much

the second one is after some deletions! I'm running Hitman again and going to find some more things to delete

Absolutely nothing is happening. Looks Like Im fresh re-installing guys!

[VistaKing]

Are you reinstalling windows ?

 

[graphic333]

yeh, building the courage to. Need to write down loads of things first: passwords etc. backup bookmarks, all my data work. Could take me a week. Im just so paranoid that my pc cant install updates and that something has utterly ruined the safety of the pc considering the update is to do with security.

It would make sense for me to re-install anyway since I would prefer to do that than to research how to transfer my os to ssd. So I will buy an SSD then re-install sometime soon.

 

[VistaKing]

Are you planning on having the users profile on another drive ?

 

[graphic333]

i dont get ya?! yeh essentially it would be there by default, on the new SSD. Im guessing. I just bought a 3TB WD caviar green, so I think Id need some more SATA port storage eventually!

 

[graphic333]

in all honesty, you can see my pc is clogged with cracked software. And I cant afford to buy it. So I will install it then remove the keygens on my fresh install. Hopefully knowing which ones are infected. I think this has a 90 % chance or so of being successsful.

Then the next time I get infected I will hopefully, fingers crossed be in a situation where I can afford the software I have!

Take a look at the link below

A lot of people have their Users folder away from the C drive . SSDs usually just have Windows and Apps installed .

For a clean installation without the bloatware take a look at the link below
