Hello,
 
we are having an unknown infection on 7 of 8 computers in our company.
 
I couldn't find much using various AV Programs and Tools.
 
Looked nearer at approximately 50 infected files with Adlice RK PE Viewer, let me see that the most of them are having sandboxes, anti-debugging scanner / debugging blocker and stuff like that to protect itself and hide of AV.
 
At least since beginning of this infection (last Thursday) concrete objects found by AV: (all PC together)
 
G DATA found 6 PSW-Tools and 3 OCS-Tools
ESET found 3 PSW-Tools
RogueKiller found 14 PUM's and 2 Rootkit IAT:Addr(Hook.IEAT)
 
The 8th computer was off and not hanging in the local Intranet by the time of the infection, so he stayed clean. We won't put him back in the network until the other PC are cleaned.
 
Concrete symptoms are: Some files are encrypted (new extensions like .crypt, .crypto, .crypted, .encrypted and so on which aren't possible to open), some files are just renamed or the extension was changed to another normal file type. Some files are damaged, which causes programs to hang often and crash. Some files are just edited shortly ago, which has no visible effect.
 
At least, some programs are completely not working anymore and on 3 PC's there is until now no ability to connect to the Internet.
 
In the hope, someone here can help me, I did scans with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool at the 7 infected PC's.
 

I hope someone here is able to help me with my problem!

PC Names:

 - PCSRV (Main PC)
 - PC01 (Secondary PC)
 - PC201701 ('DESKTOP-NO388OR') (Tertiary PC)
 - PC05 (Tertiary PC)
 - STUMPF-HP (Notebook)
 - NETBOOK (Notebook)
 - TVW-TC-1671 (Auxiliary PC)

 - STUMPF-PC (Notebook) (not affected of infection, so no Farbar Scan)
 - SMARTBOOK (Android tablet, only non-Windows business device) (not affected of infection)
 
Greetings Lobas

Hi Lobas,

Could you please attach G-DATA, ESET and RogueKiller reports of the first computer with your next reply ?
Please also attach some of the crypted files (at least one .crypt and one with a "normal" extension type file).

Do you know the following files ?
Code: [Select]
Startup: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Fehlerquellen beheben.bat - Verknüpfung.lnk [2017-10-25]
ShortcutTarget: Fehlerquellen beheben.bat - Verknüpfung.lnk -> C:\Users\praxis\Kurzeinführung Fehlermanagement\Fehlerquellen beheben.bat ()
Startup: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\login.bat - Verknüpfung.lnk [2017-08-02]
ShortcutTarget: login.bat - Verknüpfung.lnk -> C:\Users\login.bat ()

Regards.

Hi,
am I right with that you only want logs with catches or isn't that the point?

Yes if I find one I will, but it feels like them already getting fewer for no known reason.

Yes this files are batches I wrote myself to log on the computer on the Network drives and to automatically wipe out the most common sources of application errors in the company's main work program.

Yes, you are perfectly right.

Without an encrypted file, it will be difficult to accurately determine the type of the infection.
Was a ransom demand present with the encrypted files ?

Thanks for the confirmation.

No, until now no demand was seen.

Attached are two logs of PCSRV I found: Smadav log from 25th October and ClamWinPortable (screenshot of catches) from 30th October.

EDIT: From ESET logs I can only partial screenshots give. Attached first 3 Logs of 26th/27th October.

Hi Lobas,

Neither ClamAV nor EST did detect a ransomware.
At this point, I think that your files has been corrupted by something non-malware related, so there is little I can do to help you.

Regards.

Maybe Ransom-/Crypto-/Doxware plays a role in this, maybe a smaller one. But it's completely clear that a heavy malware infection is taking place.

For this I can give you more concrete facts.

I will try to deliver as much as possible of useful information.

First, please let's stay with the Farbar logs. Still looking mostly at PCSRV (also because the 5 holidays ago are now over and today normal business is starting again. PCSRV plays a central role for the proper work of the Network and all attached devices. Furthermore PCSRV is one of the PC's since beginning of infection has got no working Internet connection anymore. That's a big problem looking forward to normal work should be possible again.)

Under the given circumstances I am pleading at you, Curson, and surely any other person which may is able to provide any form of help, to please stay at this topic and try to help / find solutions / correct & complete my proposals for what to do next.

Please just stand by.

Thanks.

'I will start to ask concrete questions about Farbar and how to deal with it starting in the next post.'

Ok, let's start with PCSRV. It's disinfection is the most urgent.

Like said, please correct me if I'm thinking wrong, complete what I try to concern about and help me if I'm just asking questions against the background of limited knowledge! I would be very pleased if you could manage it to support me trying to get to the problem starting somewhere.  :)

Processes:

Is it right to do nothing at this point or should the following process maybe be kicked? Or are there potential signs of bad processes I completely not recognized?
Quote
- () C:\Windows\System32\igfxTray.exe



Registry:

I'm somewhat irritated of the following objects. Should they be deleted?
Quote

 - HKLM\...\Run: [bg-info] => [X]
 - HKU\S-1-5-21-3146790960-243109670-543054657-1000\...\Policies\Explorer: [DisallowRun] 1

At next, these objects should(!) all be legit, but why are they getting into that list? Also they would be not uncommon places for infection (Startup/Bootsectors, Shortcuts & .bat, .vbs & .exe files).
Should I still trust them, like I did until, (prophylactic) remove or just stay watching them?

Internet:


1st: Why the hell is the hosts file not in it's normal folder? How can something like that happen? A problem I never heard of before, but IMO, that looks alarming.

2nd: This object should be removed immediately, is that correct? I'm remembering stuff like DHCPNameServers as very dangerous.

For the possibility that this thread is no longer viewed, I will open up a new one with more concrete description, type of help bidden for and more other Sysinfo including potential other (non-Farbar) logs. At first the two threads can, viewed from my point of action, a certain time co-exist. If the time comes a Mod wants to see everything in one, no problem, too. Just explaining why I am doing this.

Hi Lobas,

I'm still following your thread, but I'm not here all the time.
Here are the answers to your questions :

Process :
igfxTray.exe : This process is used to provide you quick access to the control panel via a System Tray icon for graphics based upon the Intel chipsets

Registry :
The registry values under the DisallowRun key forbid the launch of PowerShell, Background Intelligent Transfer Administration Service (BITS) and Microsoft HTML Application. These keys are usually set by the antiransomware module of some antivirus.

Startup :
Theses items are launched on system startup. You can trust them.

Internet :
1) FRST didn't found the hosts file on standard location but another section of the log show no issue.
2) No. It's your Internet gateway.

3rd: Browsers :
These are your browsers extensions, which are all legit.

Once again, there is nothing more I can do without a sample of an encrypted file.
Regards.

Hi,

ok..

In the case of the process I thought I have read anywhere, if no company's name stands in front, that would be a warning signal.

EDIT: Would it be possible, that this process got hijacked?

As with the registry there is then nothing to do, too. The Startup items are mostly trusted, but I was wondering about their appearance on the list.

EDIT: Ok, something better to leave alone. I'm trusting all of them, but from some of these items (below) I know how easy and how open they get infected.

Quote

Startup: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\NetScaler Gateway.lnk [2017-10-18]

In case of the hosts file I will just believe that from you, the NameServer, dumb mistake..

EDIT: You mean the host file entries? Yes, I cannot remember seeing them in the log of PCSRV. Nevertheless I didn't get why the hosts file is somewhere it doesn't belong?
Oh, ok then better not removing. :D


Yes, diverse browser extensions, but I took now a deeper look and things like Java or the Office plugins, yes makes sense, but is the rest not at least useless? Or take a nearer look of the first two elements in IE, hxxp?!

EDIT: Maybe I can deliver something like that, don't know if you can make use of it.


Ok so far:

As with drivers there is only this one suspicious:

Quote
S0 wjtvys; kein ImagePath

As with the 'Created' and 'Modified' Files/Folders 1st: Does it make sense to unhide the hidden system files?
And, is it right that an object should be checked if there's no company name and no attribute letter, especially when it's in the Windows folder?
That would match only for a few:

Quote

I know the listed TEMP folder content does not have to be malware, but isn't it safer to delete this or do I have any advantage of it?

And, at last, I didn't got it really what it have with the Bamital & Volsnap section on it..

I'm not really leaning wide out of the window saying that 'volsnap.sys' is kind of suspicious?
Also, the two 'dnsapi.dll' detections, I think I've seen them in an example log of Farbar in this section.
Or did all of them not passed verification?

Gets more and more complicated, but I still got more possibilities, the problem finally has to be somewhere.

Hi Lobas,

In the case of the process I thought I have read anywhere, if no company's name stands in front, that would be a warning signal.
If the process do not have a company's name, it's indeed a warning. But this process is legit.

Yes, diverse browser extensions, but I took now a deeper look and things like Java or the Office plugins, yes makes sense, but is the rest not at least useless? Or take a nearer look of the first two elements in IE, hxxp?!
When installing such programs, they register browsers extensions, but they are indeed not really useful. Every http links in FRST reports is changed to hxxp for security reasons.

As with drivers there is only this one suspicious:
This is an old service where the actual executable file is missing, so nothing dangerous.
You can delete it with the following command from the command line :
Code: [Select]
sc config wjtvys start= disabled && sc delete wjtvys
Quote
As with the 'Created' and 'Modified' Files/Folders[...]
Using default config, FRST display the file created and modified during the last 30 days, on specific locations, with predefinied whitelist. Every files and folders listed on your report are legit.

No, they are legit files. This won't change anything.

Files volsnap.sys and dnsapi.dll are part of the operating system. Since they are signed, they are legit.

Regards.

Hi,

sorry for my long absence. I had 4 Holidays at work now.


So am I right with the following compilation of things to do at PCSRV because of the Farbar Scan?


- Registry:

Quote
HKLM\...\Run: [bg-info] => [X]

(Delete) (?)

Quote
HKU\S-1-5-21-3146790960-243109670-543054657-1000\...\Policies\Explorer: [DisallowRun] 1

When I remember right, this key can be set from malware, just like also from AV-Programs, but you thought this is ok, right? Or is this just required to make the following three keys work? (I mean the ones, you said they're set by anti-ransomware modules (I'm not asking again about their legitimity, my question is just about the one I put in above!))


 - Internet Explorer:


Quote
HKU\S-1-5-21-3146790960-243109670-543054657-1000\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = hxxp://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=msnhome
HKU\S-1-5-21-3146790960-243109670-543054657-1000\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page Redirect Cache = hxxp://www.msn.com/de-de/?ocid=iehp

Removing, because they are just there to set not needed Default Start Pages and so are PUM's, right?


 - Mozilla Firefox:


Quote
FF Plugin-x32: @tools.google.com/Google Update;version=3 -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\1.3.33.5\npGoogleUpdate3.dll [2017-08-02] (Google Inc.)
FF Plugin-x32: @tools.google.com/Google Update;version=9 -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\1.3.33.5\npGoogleUpdate3.dll [2017-08-02] (Google Inc.)

These are also PUM's, which aren't needed, right?


 - Drivers:


Quote
S0 wjtvys; kein ImagePath

(Delete, because broken, so no more advantage, ok?)

Just unhiding, I know, not necessary at least, but also nothing that can make damage, am I right so?

*Sorry if I'm asking so much questions, or a few more than one time, but with the following I wanna be completely sure*

I really, really don't have to worry about them, you're telling me? (I won't put them on fixlist, or fix somehow else, if you can say that there is not the smallest probability, of them being somehow suspicious!)

 - "Root Directorys", "TEMP folder" & "Bamital & Volsnap" sections:

As with the sections aforementioned, I still didn't get completely the reasons, but if your last word is, there is no need of doing anything, I will ignore it!

As with them just unhiding, (not absolutely necessary, but also not doing any wrong when performing this) Please correct, if I'm on the wrong path with that thinking.


 - Custom CLSID:


Quote
ContextMenuHandlers5: [igfxcui] -> {3AB1675A-CCFF-11D2-8B20-00A0C93CB1F4} =>  -> Keine Datei

Removing, because broken, so no more advantage out of it. Right?

Just asking if they're really ok, because they have no company affiliation listed. Won't do anything to them if you tell me they're nevertheless legit.


 - Shortcuts & WMI:


Quote
Shortcut: C:\Users\praxis\Desktop\Fehlerquellen beheben.bat - Verknüpfung.lnk -> C:\Windows\System32\Fehlerquellen beheben.bat ()

Farbar tutorial says, in this section are only listed suspicious or hijacked Shortcuts, along with WMI Malware.
I know I've written them myself and you already asked because of this point, but one point I haven't mentioned before, >>on this PC are more than one copies of (primarily) identical Batch files and associated Shortcuts.<< So why just this exemplar is listed here? At the moment I would clearly remove it, especially because it's no big thing to regain it from an (supposedly) clean copy of the same. Or is it maybe so that Farbar marks it as suspicious because it is in the Windows\System32 folder, where it normally doesn't belong to? Against this possibility speaks that there are more such copies in System32, so I don't wanna offend you or doubt your knowledge, but without a plausible explanation how this got falsely into that list, I still have to believe there is something wrong.

Farbar tutorial says the listed ones here haven't passed Whitelisting. Should I be alarmed over this? All of them look trustworthy at first, but is Hijacking conceiveable here?


 - Internet Explorer Restricted Sites:

The restricted sites in IE, are they restricted for a special reason, or would it be ok to remove this attribute?


 - Other Areas:

This one looks legit to me, right?     (Won't do anything)

Quote
DNS Servers: 192.168.2.1

Does not look like a hijacked DNS Server to me, or?     (Won't do anything) (checked with whois.domaintools.com, for example)

Quote
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System => (ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin: 2) (ConsentPromptBehaviorUser: 3) (EnableLUA: 0)

This shows that UAC is not completely turned off, right? But it has to be turned off completely so business programs work properly. No matter how this change appeared, I'm going to correct that.

Windows Firewall is because of the same reason as with UAC disabled. This is how it should be.     (Won't do anything)

The Firewall rules mostly look ok to me, but could you please try to explain me the reason (and what they do) of the following?


Quote
FirewallRules: [SPPSVC-In-TCP] => (Allow) %SystemRoot%\system32\sppsvc.exe
FirewallRules: [SPPSVC-In-TCP-NoScope] => (Allow) %SystemRoot%\system32\sppsvc.exe

As with Recovery Points there isn't a problem, at least my opinion, or is there one?


 - Application Errors:

There is one "Application Error (Source Application Error)", in this case there is nothing someone could do, right?


Quote

Also there are 9 "Application Error (Source SideBySide)". Would it make sense to remove one of the components which are standing in conflict to eachother? And if yes, which one?

Just one example, instead of all:


Quote
Error: (10/26/2017 05:24:28 PM) (Source: SideBySide) (EventID: 80) (User: )
Description: Fehler beim Generieren des Aktivierungskontexts für "C:\doc2\prog\wprog\DOC.EXE". Fehler in

- System Errors

About System Errors, there is nothing I could do, or? One example: (out of 10)


Quote
Error: (10/26/2017 04:36:00 PM) (Source: Disk) (EventID: 7) (User: )
Description: Fehlerhafter Block bei Gerät \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.

- CodeIntegrity

But here: Is there anything useful I could do about the CodeIntegrity Errors? Here one example out of 6:


Quote
Date: 2017-08-03 03:15:36.863
  Description: Die Abbildintegrität der Datei "\Device\HarddiskVolume4\BackupAssist\Dasi\2017-05-31\C\Users\Praxis\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\om96767o.default\cache2\entries\83D634E4804E1BCDDB9EA2FD836667365E09C75F" konnte nicht überprüft werden, da der Satz seitenbezogener Abbildhashes auf dem System nicht gefunden wurde.


My last question to this topic: If there are drives, marked with the word "Fixed", this is already done, right? So there is no more someone had to do?



*I got over the maximum length, so I'm going to break up the post.*

Questions about how to deal with and interpret RK PE Viewer results, I will put into an own post reply, just below.

Again, I'm sorry because I make so much circumstances and I hope you will help me with my problems still in the future, but also I would like to thank you at this point for all the help you gave until now!


Greetings so far

Removing, because they are just there to set not needed Default Start Pages and so are PUM's, right?
They are not PUM's. Microsoft.com and msn.com are legit sites.

FRST cannot known you write it yourself, so being in the system32 directory, it considers it suspicious.

These sites are malicious so the are indeed restricted for a special reason.

No, these errors are caused by an issue in the manifest file on an application you use (C:\DOC2\PROG\WPROG). Please contact the publisher for a fix.
