HijackThis vs. the Elitebar Removal Tool

The following HijackThis thread, from Web User Forums, highlights a number of key points about the modus operandi of the SearchMiracle/EliteBar downloader. It also highlights the comparative merits of SimplyTech's EliteBar Removal Tool.

The user's opening comments are typical:

I've just started getting IE pop-up windows appearing every so often. They appear regardless of whether I'm actually using my browser (Maxthon).

I've run [Ad-Aware], [SpyBot S&D], and installed SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard. Removed a heap of items, but the popups are still appearing. Included below is a [HijackThis] log (created immediately after a reboot).


No standard anti-spy software has managed to fend off the infection entirely. A HijackThis log is posted together with a plea for help.

The expert's instructions are typical of the early strategy attempted by HijackThis experts:

*Open [HijackThis], take another scan and place a checkmark next to these entries.

R3 - URLSearchHook: IncrediFindBHO Class - {0026AD90-C86F-4269-97F3-DAB4897C6D06} - C:\PROGRA~1\INCRED~1\BHO\INCFIN~1.DLL (file missing)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {ED103D9F-3070-4580-AB1E-E5C179C1AE41} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SearchUpgrader] C:\Program Files\Common files\SearchUpgrader\SearchUpgrader.exeO4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Online Updater] dllman.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [etbrun] C:\winnt\system32\elitekck32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Windows Online Updater] dllman.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: NavLogon - C:\WINNT\system32\NavLogon.dll [see VGS's Key File Index for more information on this file]

*Close all open Windows except [HijackThis] and click on "fix Checked".

* Open Windows Explorer, navigate to and delete the following
Files/Folders:

C:\Program Files\Common files\SearchUpgrader\>>>folder
C:\winnt\system32\elitekck32.exe>>>file
C:\WINNT\system32\NavLogon.dll>>>file [see VGS's Key File Index for more information on this file]

Reboot the Computer in normal mode, then click the "Post Reply" button and post a new log in this thread for further review and evaluation.



While this approach may provide some limited, and temporary, relief, SearchMiracle will soon be back in full force. As HijackThis experts have generally discovered, the downloader for the infection detects, and, if necessary, reinstalls itself from RAM as Windows is closed. (The related file can have different names for different variations of the infection but always appears, to date, in the form "elite***32.exe".) This explains the next set of comments from the user:

I've done everything as you suggested, noting:

"C:\winnt\system32\elitekck32.exe>>>file": This file wasn't there. Searched entire HD and couldn't find it.
"C:\WINNT\system32\NavLogon.dll": Deleted *after* reboot, as was in use before reboot. [see VGS's Key File Index for more information on this file]

After 1st reboot, the elitekck32.exe entry (O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [etbrun] C:\winnt\system32\elitekck32.exe) had reappeared, so I fixed it again and rebooted a 2nd time. It's still there, see new HJT log below. The pop-up windows are still appearing.

The file for "elitekck32.exe" is no longer on the hard drive. The resident file was deleted by SearchMiracle itself when "eleitekck32.exe" was removed. The file is probably designed to be deleted in order to avoid the problem of having to rename it in order to successfully re-install.

The second round of instructions (in response to the updated HijackThis log) make the matter still clearer:

*Open [HijackThis], take another scan and place a checkmark next to these entries.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [load32] C:\WINNT\system32\winldra.exe [see VGS's Key File Index for more information on this file]

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [etbrun] C:\winnt\system32\elitekck32.exe
O21 - SSODL: NnjrTTQcGY - {372715F7-9D8D-BF5D-D9F5-F29E65298DCD} - C:\WINNT\system32\xqzq.dll (file missing)

*Close all open Windows except [HijackThis] and click on "fix Checked".
*Open Windows Explorer, navigate to and delete the following Files/Folders if present:

C:\WINNT\system32\winldra.exe >>>file [see VGS's Key File Index for more information on this file]
C:\winnt\system32\elitekck32.exe >>>file
C:\WINNT\system32\xqzq.dll >>> file

*

Reboot the Computer in normal mode, then click the "Post Reply" button and post a new log in this thread for further review and evaluation.



A number of files have returned: first the downloader exe and then the files it has begun to reinstall. The HijackThis expert, in this particular case, is stumped. He keeps advising that the user reboot in normal mode which will only reload elitekck.32.exe back up into RAM from where it will reinstall when Windows is closed. In the new, successful Hijackthis threads the expert knows to reboot in Safe Mode and then delete the file. This prevents elite***.32.exe from loading up into RAM. If it can't get to RAM it can't download back onto the hard drive.

This thread will end up successful, however, and for an intersting reason. The user takes the matter of getting rid of elite***32.exe into her/his own hands:

Hi, think I've got to the bottom of the elitekck32.exe file.

Another forum (http://forum.iamnotageek.com/history/topic.php/1819049822-1.html) put me onto this [Elite Toolbar Remover]... I've run it and it's removed the Elitekck32.exe malware, as shown in the new HJT log below. I've not posted logs for each account as I suspect that's not the problem.


She/he has downloaded and run the Elitebar Removal Tool and now returns to clean up some loose ends not related to SearchMiracle/EliteBar.

Again, this thread seems to highlight the relative merits of HijackThis and the Elitebar Removal Tool. The removal tool is quickly downloaded and specifically targets the problematical elite***32.exe file. HijackThis is not limited to a single strain of infection(s). Given some time for the HijackThis expert community to get a grasp of a particular infection there is an excellent chance that a fix can be developed.Using it can also add to the user's knowledge level about infections and his/her computer.
