Hi all,
A few days ago on May 27th, I was online and Norton Anti-virus 2010 removed
a few things it detected. It said "Download Insight detected launch of
ynhupl.exe" and it was quarantined, medium level risk at 12:06 AM. Next,
"Download Insight detected launch of fkvfto.exe", also quarantined, medium
level risk at 12:07 AM. At 12:08 AM "Suspicious.MLApp detected by
Auto-Protect" was quarantined, high level risk.
And now here is where things got more complicated. At 12:20 AM Norton
anti-virus began to block intrusion attempts by an attacking computer(s). The
first was "An intrusion attempt by 91.212.226.67 was blocked. The attacking
computer is: 91.212.226.67, 443 and it said the attack was resulted from
\DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME2\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SVCHOST.EXE
At 12:30 and 12:40 AM there was an intrusion attempt by 91.212.226.59, 443
that were also blocked. At 12:50 and 1:00 AM an intrusion attempt by
202.157.171.207, 443 were also blocked. I received a total of 19 blocked
intrusion attempts the last one at 3:54 AM. The next day on May 28 I went
online again and the intrusion notifications began at 1:39 AM. There were 12
intrusion attempts blocked until 3:52 AM which was the last. Also on May 28,
in between the intrusion attempts two viruses were quarantined at 2:47 AM,
ynhupl.exe (Trojan.FakeAV) and fkvfto.exe (Backdoor.Tidserv) and were
detected by Auto-Protect. When I shut down the PC around 4 AM on May 28, I
noticed it took a while longer than usual for it to shut off. It stayed at
the empty blue screen for about a minute and then finally turned off.
On May 29 the next day around 1:30 AM I turned on the PC to go online and it
took a while longer for the PC to start and the original Windows XP theme was
changed to Windows Classic. The theme I had, the original one with the blue
task bar and the green start button was now in classic mode. I disconnected
the router in case the intrusion attempts continued. Norton Anti-virus 2010
was still working, the icon for it was in the bottom right of the task bar
and I could launch it, but there was also a red Windows Security Center
shield that I could not get rid of. So I went to msconfig and restarted the
PC in safe mode. I did a full system scan and 32 threats were detected. About
31 of them were tracking cookies which were removed and 1 virus needed to be
manually removed which I did. I believe the file was tcpip6 and it was
located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers. After I removed it I restarted the PC
in normal mode without doing a system restore. It started up taking a while
longer to boot up as it did earlier and now Norton Anti-virus no longer
worked. The red Windows Security Center shield was still there at bottom
right of task bar. I ran Norton Anti-virus from bottom right task bar, which
the icon now had a blinking red dot over it, and when it launched it said
there were 2 things needing attention. They were both something to do with
emailing out and in. I couldn't look at the recent history or do a full
system scan.
So I did a system restore to May 12 but it was unsuccessful, it could not be
restored. So I restarted in safe mode, and I was able to do a full system
scan. Nothing was detected, so I did a system restore to May 12, but it still
couldn't be restored. Today May 30 I turned on PC and Norton-Antivirus no
longer appeared in the bottom right taskbar. It was still under Start and
Programs but when I tried opening it nothing happens. Until about a minute
later when this tiny 1 inch window appears with no title just the Norton
anti-virus icon and a minimize _ and X. It's just like the top of a window,
the bar, with the icon and the minimize and close options. I restarted in
safe mode and tried a system restore to May 19, and it worked this time, but
the PC loading took a while longer than usual again and nothing seemed to
change. The red Windows Security Center shield is no longer on the bottom
right taskbar, but Norton Anti-virus also doesn't load, doesn't appear on
taskbar. The taskbar theme is still on Windows Classic, and when I right
click on the desktop and go to display properties, I could not find the
original theme. I did a search for themes and I found it but I couldn't set
it until I started the Windows Theme service in Control Panel under
Administrative Tools and Computer Management. So the PC still needs to be
repaired, but I don't know what else to do other than a full re-install.
Norton Anti-virus seems to still be installed, but doesn't work, I try
running ipconfig in run mode to see my IPs and a window pops up for a second
and disappears.
I am wondering if there is a way to run a full anti-virus scan with another
program that would detect whatever is causing this, but if having Norton
Anti-virus 2010 was compromised, who knows what could work. I have an HP
Media Center PC m370n, Windows XP Service Pack 2, 2.8 GHz, 512 MB. Thanks for
any help,
Beto
