CLOSED Infected with Trojan:Win32/Socelars

[AOH 0]

Since yesterday, my PC has been infected with the virus mentioned in the title of the topic, according to Windows Defender. I deleted a couple of programs that were installed along with the virus but after a couple of restarts, command prompts and unknown programs seem to start along with Windows. In addition, there is a bunch of exclusions for certain programs in folders with made up names that Windows Defender is unable to scan. I never excluded those folders myself. What is more, these said folders are located in the Program Files (x86), ProgramData, AppData\Local\Temp, WINDOWS\Temp folders of my PC. I refrain from logging in in various sites and apps I used to, at least without creating a new password, since I'm terrified that my personal data will be compromised through the malicious program. I do not know whether they've already been compromised or the worst is yet to come. I will stand by, waiting for further instructions as to how to proceed on the matter. Thank you in advance.

When I try to save the file, a warning pops up regarding the fact that Unicode characters are bound to be lost if the file is encoded in ANSI. Should I encode it in Unicode?

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Yes, use Unicode.

[AOH 0]

Afterwards, I soon as I place the file in the same folder as FRST64, all I have to do is run the program and click Fix?
Should I also post the new FRST and Addition logs?

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Just send the fixlog.  I will most likely have you run another tool to find and remove things that are not shown in tehFRST and EEK scans.

[AOH 0]

Here is the fixlog, as requested:

Fixlog.txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Please download AdwCleaner and save it on your desktop.

1. Close all open programs and Internet browsers (you may want to print out or write down these instructions first).
2. Double click on the AdwCleaner icon to run it.
3. You will need to accept the license agreement from Malwarebytes in order to continue.
4. Click on the Scan button in the lower-left.
5. When the scan is done, a log will open in Notepad. You can close this Notepad window before continuing.
6. If something was found on your computer, then click on the Clean button in the lower-left (where the "Scan" button was earlier).
7. AdwCleaner will warn you that it will close all running processes (programs). Click OK to continue when ready.
8. After the cleaning process is done, you will be prompted to restart your computer. Please click Reboot now when ready to restart your computer.
9. A text file will open in Notepad after the restart (this is the log of what was removed), which you can save on your desktop.
10. Please attach that log file to a reply for me to review.
11. If you lose that log file for any reason, you can find it at C:\AdwCleaner[C0] on your computer.
    

[AOH 0]

AdwCleaner prompted me to an updated version on this site: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/?channel=release
Should I download it?

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Yes, update the version.

 

[AOH 0]

Here is AdwCleaner's fixlog, as requested:

AdwCleaner[C00].txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Let's take a fresh look.

Run fresh scans with Emsisoft Emergency Kit (EEK) and FRST, attach the new EEK and FRST scans to your reply.

Be sure to let me know how things are running.

[AOH 0]

A command prompt window popped up for a brief moment right after restarting my PC as requested by AdwCleaner, which did not happen before the "infection". However, I am now able to remove the excluded folders with made up names in Windows Defender.
Other than that, everything else seems to be running smoothly.
Here are the requested logs:

Here is the new fixlog, as requested:

Fixlog.txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Because I keep seeing Unicode characters in the log after you run the fix.

Changing tools.

Download RogueKiller from https://www.fosshub.com/RogueKiller.html and save it to your desktop.

• Double-click on setup.exe to install RogueKiller.

Close all programs and disconnect any USB or external drives before running the tool.

• Right-click RogueKiller.exe and select Run As Administrator to run the tool.
• Once the Prescan has finished, click Scan.
• Once the Status box shows "Scan Finished", click on the "Report" button and attach the scan log to your reply.

This may take a while to run.  I'll check the scan report tomorrow after I come back online.

[AOH 0]

Should I disconnect my external hard drive?

[AOH 0]

Here's RogueKiller's report, as requested:

Report.txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Run RogueKiller again, press scan and this time select everything it finds and let RogueKiller remove it.

[AOH 0]

Everything found in the second scan has been removed by RogueKiller. Should I send you the scan log, now that the removal is finished?

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Yes, send me the RogueKiller Clean log, and run fresh scans with Emsisoft and FRST.

[AOH 0]

Here you go:

RogueKiller Report.txt

scan_181013-020800.txt

FRST.txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Run the Google Chrome CleanUp Tool.

You can also check for malware manually.

1. Open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click More  Settings.
3. At the bottom, click Advanced.
4. Under “Reset and clean up,” click Clean up computer.
5. Click Find.

If you're asked to remove unwanted software, click Remove.

I checked manually for malware through Chrome and nothing was found. Here's FRST's fixlog:

[Kevin Zoll 309]

OK, let's take a fresh look.

Run a fresh scan with Emsisoft and FRST, attach the new Emsisoft and FRST scan logs to your reply.

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Your logs look fine how are things running?

[AOH 0]

Everything seems fine. My only concern is whether I should change my log in passwords or not. Is it possible that they could have been intercepted? What would you suggest?

[Kevin Zoll 309]

What was installed was adware.  Normally, adware does not intercept login credentials but is not outside the realm of possibles.  If you are concerned that your login information was compromised, then go ahead and change your passwords.

[AOH 0]

Thank you very much for being so helpful and analytical throughout this whole process. I truly appreciate your help and advice. You're doing a great job in maintaining this forum as one of the best one should visit when seeking malware removal expertise. Keep it up. Thank you very much once again.

[Kevin Zoll 309]

You are welcome and thank you for the vote of confidence.

You can delete any tool I had you download.

[AOH 0]

Will do. Thank you once again for your help.

[Kevin Zoll 309]

You are welcome.

[AOH 0]

Actually, before deleting the programs I decided to run a final scan and it looks like a PUP named "Application.AppInstall(A)" and located in C:\ProgramData\simplitec is still there. I remember it showing up in two of the last scans before the logs were finally clean. Could it be coming back after I terminate and start my PC? Here are the logs of the most recent scans:

scan_181016-134513.txt

Addition.txt

FRST.txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

This is the most likely culprit:

H:\Mi Games\Daemon Tools Ultra 5.2.0.0644 + Pre-Cracked - [CrackzSoft]\DAEMON Tools Ultra\DiscSoftBusServiceUltra.exe

Software piracy is not a victimless activity, in fact, most cracks and keygens are malware.

Our company policy is to provide no assistance to users whose systems show the presence of pirated or otherwise improperly licensed and activated software.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I proceeded to completely remove the pirated software from my computer. Here are the new scans:

Please run FRST again. Next, select and copy the following text, including the words Start:: and End::. Switch back to the FRST program window, and click the Fix button. It should read the fix directly from the clipboard and run the fix. When it is finished, please attach the fixlog.txt file it created in the same folder the FRST program is in.

OK,

Let's take a fresh look.

Run fresh scans with Emsisoft Emergency Kit (EEK) and FRST, attach the new EEK and FRST scans to your reply.

Be sure to let me know how things are running.

[AOH 0]

The problem seems to persist. Here are the new logs:

scan_181018-030652.txt

FRST.txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

I do not see anything else in your logs that would be related to Simplitec and any of their software.

Navigate to C:\ProgramData\simplitec and tell me if the folder is empty and if not a list of what is in the folder.

[AOH 0]

The folder is indeed empty.

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Since the folder is empty, it likely is not something to overly concerned about.  You can most likely safely ignore the folder.

[AOH 0]

Should I try to delete the PUP through EEK, restart my PC and run some fresh scans?

[Kevin Zoll 309]

You can try.  If it doesn't delete then there is something preventing the folder from being deleted, like not gaining permission over the folder.

[AOH 0]

Someone under the name "CREATOR OWNER" has rights to that very folder. I managed to remove those rights as well as the PUP through EEK, but after restarting my systerm, the PUP still exists along with the folder. "CREATOR OWNER" still has rights to the folder.

[Kevin Zoll 309]

Run a scan with RogueKiller and delete anything simplitec related it finds.

[AOH 0]

After running a scan with RogueKiller and deleting the findings, both the folder and the PUP are present, according to EEK's scan that I ran after restarting my system. Here are the logs:

RogueKiller Report.txt

scan_181018-050058.txt

FRST.txt

[Kevin Zoll 309]

OK,

Let's try running AdwCleaner again.

Since the folder is empty it posses no threat.

[AOH 0]

Should I run new scans with EEK and FRST? Here's AdwCleaner' log:
