Title: please help me remove casinopalazzo
Post by: dinu on June 16, 2004, 12:21:07 PM
Please help me remove this threat. Every time i start windows, IE starts without my permission, it creates a desktop icon named online casino, with a big yellow X on it. It points to: http://www.casinopalazzo.com/index.php?sourceid=101959 (http://\"http://www.casinopalazzo.com/index.php?sourceid=101959\") . I've tryed with ad-aware, spybot, spywareblaster, spywaresweeper, spykiller and other, but no result. Each time I start windows the same problem appears. I have also discovered that it creates a file on c:\windows called szchost.exe. Here is the HijackThis log file:

Hey guess what I found out. When on the net there happens to be a lot of disk activity and then the internet just zaps. I noticed a file called ajjm.dat loaded into memory. I find this file and read its contents. It gives me some horse [censored], but the real treasure is at the end of the file which has terms like settimer and ShellExecuteA . "Settimer 60 internet" code can be used to shut down internet wthin 60 seconds. For the life of me I don't know though how it came into my system though. But I managed to get rid of it by deleting the TEMP directory under my local settings(hidden) folder.

bye.
