Kaspersky tdsskiller can initialize log

Unfortunately it's now stuck at the same spot only on startup rather than shutdown. This freeze at shutdown and startup has been going on since the infection has started and the only way I've managed to get things going again is to go into safe mode which has also been subject to flakiness and run the disk cleanup tool.

That takes a few hours to complete. I can run that now and we can pick it up again in the morning but will this affect how Combofix works? You're right on the button about the friends this virus keeps. They are legion. And this is with McAfee installed. I don't think any of the updates have been working.

Be aware, because you are running in Safe mode if CF forces a re-boot you must be there to tap F8 key to get into Safe mode again, bit of a pain but necessary. I booted into safe mode and Combofix started up immediately, ran and produced the report below. I let it run even though it's not a new downloaded copy as you instructed. Should I start over and run a completely new copy or is this one OK? ComboFix Other Deletions. Files Created from to Find3M Report. Reg Loading Points.

Also, still getting google redirects. McAffee update seems to work, although if it is - how come it's not finding anything on its scans?. Attempts to get to windows update fail - connection closed by remote server or can't open the page depending on which browser you use. Just before windows starts to boot a light blue screen flashes past with "regrun greatis antirootkit" splashed across the screen.

Moreover, the tools leveraged by the attackers, such as China Chopper, BOUNCER, Termite and Earthworm, are an additional indicator supporting our hypothesis as they have previously been used in campaigns attributed to well-known Chinese-speaking groups.

Based on our telemetry the attacks were highly targeted and delivered to less than 10 victims around the world. The most prominent victims are two large regional diplomatic organizations in South-East Asia and Africa, while all the others were victims in South Asia. The TunnelSnake campaign demonstrates the activity of a sophisticated actor that invests significant resources in designing an evasive toolset and infiltrating networks of high-profile organizations.

By leveraging Windows drivers, covert communications channels and proprietary malware, the group behind it maintains a considerable level of stealth.

Still, with activity dating back to at least , the threat actor behind this campaign has shown that it is able to evolve and tailor its toolset to target environments. This indicates the group conducting these attacks may well still be active and retooling for additional operations in the area of interest outlined in this publication, as well as other regions. With that in mind, we continue to track this attacker and look for signs of its reappearance in the wild.

Any findings and updates will be made available to customers of our Threat Intelligence Portal. For more information about operation TunnelSnake and the underlying threat actor, contact us at: intelreports kaspersky.

The APT trends reports are based on our threat intelligence research and provide a representative snapshot of what we have discussed in greater detail in our private APT reports. This is our latest installment, focusing on activities that we observed during Q3 According to older public researches, Lyceum conducted operations against organizations in the energy and telecommunications sectors across the Middle East. While investigating a recent rise of attacks against Exchange servers, we noticed a recurring cluster of activity that appeared in several distinct compromised networks.

With a long-standing operation, high profile victims, advanced toolset and no affinity to a known threat actor, we decided to dub the cluster GhostEmperor. We discovered a campaign delivering the Tomiris backdoor that shows a number of similarities with the Sunshuttle malware distributed by DarkHalo APT and target overlaps with Kazuar.

Based on the detection timestamps of that toolset, we assess that the attacker had a foothold in the network from as early as ; A couple of other tools that have significant code overlaps with Moriya were found as well. These contain a user mode version of the malware and another driver-based utility used to defeat AV software.

The architecture of the Moriya rootkit User mode agent analysis The user mode component of the Moriya rootkit has two purposes. Registration of the packet magic value using a designated IOCTL Except for its covert channel communication feature, Moriya is capable of establishing a reverse shell session using an overt channel.

The function itself waits on an event that gets signaled once such a packet is obtained, thus turning the ReadFile function called by the user mode agent into a blocking operation that will wait until the packet is picked up by the driver.

The passed magic is anticipated to be six characters long. Code used for registering the packet magic value from the driver side How were targeted servers initially infected?
