Normall we boot up with ERD commander and manually clear temp files from Internet Explorer, temp files under the users, look for obvious files under drivers folders ( stuff like aAbBqqYz.exe). This usually gets things clean enough to start scanning with antivirus and antispyware programs. This particular computer appeared to be cleaned. Started with the tune up stuff (adobe, java, updates), but let me backtrack a moment. When this laptop came in, besides being infected, the wireless wouldn't work. I plugged it in and was able to run all the updates just fine, re-installed the wireless driver and everything worked fine. When I tried to do windows updates and any kind of antivirus updates through the wireless it couldn't connect to those sites. Checked host files and only home is showing (127.0.0.1). You can access anywhere else on the web with the wireless except update sites for windows or antivirus/spyware. When i disconnect the wireless I can do anything with a wired connection. Has anybody dealt with a rootkit that only infects the wireless connection. TCP/IP looks fine. HiJack This doesn't show any proxy servers. But soon as I turn wireless on and do an update, it needs to restart and when it does no wireless updates again. I have run Malware Bytes, SAS, Spybot, AVG, Nortons (customers version removed and reinstalled). I have also run several rootkit removers (Panda, Sophos, Riddix, etc). Sophos is the only one that found and "removed" anything. I have run several xp fixes for IE and WinUpdate. It keeps coming back. I am almost at a loss. To spend anymore time on this will be fruitless. It would almost be better to wipe everything and re-install OS. But if it is this malicious we can't have it infecting our backup machines. We are not like some other places, in the fact that we wipe everything and say sorry about your data. We copy your files off and migrate data back. I feel like this infection is kicking my a$$! Anybody run into one this stubborn before? Help! I am working on a customers computer that was infected with AV7.
