New cases keep springing up every day now about this :(

 

Soon this thread will start slipping down the thread list and as has been shown most newbies don't/can't search efficiently.

 

Recommend stickying this thread, at least temporarily.

 

Just my 1.6 cents worth (adjusting for economic downturn).

Maximum number of secrets error, if infected with malware should be easily confirmed by other symptoms, popups, browser redirects and warning from resident security programs.

 

Such an infection is extremely dangerous as it involves rootkit(s) and backdoor trojans

 

A complete repartition and format of your hard drive with proper precaution to prevent reinfection is the best option.

 

Here's the standard response given for such infections

 

One or more of the identified infections is a rootkit/backdoor trojan.

 

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files.

 

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

 

Though the trojan has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

 

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

 

Someone may still be able to clean this machine but we can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards. Let me know what you decide to do.

 

Removing such infections and possible repair of damage, usually requires advanced tools and the help of trained experts.

 

At the bottom of this link is a list of "approved" HJT forums where helpers have received this training.

 

Expect to wait for help as the training is so intensive there is always a shortage of helpers.

Until you told us about the infector(uniccodec) all I had to search for was Maximum number of secrets. Searching for uniccodec

led me to threads where a nasty rootkit was being removed.

 

The last clue(the infector) solved the puzzle

I had a problem where my burning software just couldn't recognize my 2 dvd burners. So I was going nuts over last couple of weeks until I found you.

 

RootRepeal crashes, no use. I tried GMER in safe mode and I managed to DISABLE service/shitware that was bothering me - hidden sys extension. (deleting didn't work out).

 

Everything is normal now.

 

So, big thanks :thumbup:

Disabling or unloading the service may allow another program to kill the sob that loads it at bootup and all the associated files it's been hiding that take over your computer.

 

There are no quick cures or simple fixes with battling a serious infection except format C

 

If rootrepeal crashes I would suspect a witches brew of drive emulation like daemon tools light and/or alcohol and/or a hosed system bus.

 

Of course in your case it may just have been Eset

Having DT lite installed and not having any problems would seem irrelevant to someone trying to remove a dangerous back door trojan rootkit.

 

We often see disabling or uninstalling certain legitimate programs as a requirement for cleaning an infection, a simlar analogy would be disabling all filter drivers in an attempt to cleaning the system bus and enabling Imgburn to function.
