Title: Ad / Spyware removal
Post by: Allan Smith on December 31, 2004, 01:46:47 PM
I have XP SP1 + aupdates (except SP2)
AdAware Se 1.05 + updates
Spybot 1.3 + updates - Immuniser Enabled
Norton Antivirus

I seem to have a persistent Pop Up that none of these utilities removes.
I run scans in all 3. get a clean bill of health. Reboot and soon as I open IE
I get an Ad Pop Up (regclean.bmp -see below) when I close this PopUp another
appears (regclean_vb.bmp - see below)

Close IE and Run AdAware again and get 4 hits - clean them and repeat as above.

Also Occasionaly I get a PopUp which tries to download a file.
Fortunately I trap this with my downloader and deny it.
And I can capture the source for the PopUp - which is

<html><head><title>Download</title><body bgcolor=#2c62a0 text=#ffffff onselectstart='return false;' ondragstart='return false;'><object onerror='ErrorActiveX();' id="A" classid="CLSID:005130f0-9491-0976-01d8-0e971adef506" codebase="1/rdgGB298.exe"></object>
</body></html>

haveing done a fair amount of serching I have failed to find any obvious solutions
hence the post here for help / advice

having seen some of the other postings I have downloaded
HiJackThis
DllCompare
Vx2Finder and
Find.bat

I have posted the logs from these utilities plus a couple of screengrabs as follows

Title: Ad / Spyware removal
Post by: guestolo on December 31, 2004, 07:56:31 PM
I'll get you started on a cleanup and finish it tomorrow

Download and Install Windows CleanUp! (http://\"http://www.freewebs.com/benditup/CleanUp312.exe\")
This will cleanup your temp folders, cookies, etc....
Don't run this yet
The above link, you will have to Right click on the link and Copy Shortcut
Paste it to the IE address bar and hit Go

Open Notepad (START>>>RUN>>>type in notepad) hit Enter
Copy the contents of the Quote box to notepad
IMPORTANT>>>Change the Save as Type to All Files.
Name the file as search.reg
This will help to restore your default searchhooks

Quote
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPrefix]@="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
"{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497}"=""

Print this out or save it to a Notepad file on your desktop for easy access, Disconnect from the Internet, I will also need you to Restart into Safe mode

Set Windows To Show Hidden Files and Folders
    * Click Start.
    * Open My Computer.
    * Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    * Select the View Tab.
    * Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    * Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    * Uncheck the Hide Extensions for known file types
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

Restart your computer into SAFE MODE (http://\"http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001060608000039\")

Find and delete these files or folders if they exist

c:\documents and settings\allans\local settings\temp\ZUCEN1I.exe <--file
C:\Documents and Settings\allans\Application Data\crwu.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\odmao.dll

C:\WINDOWS\System32\?hkntfs.exe <--file, careful with the spelling, you have a legitimate chkntfs.exe in the System32 folder that is about 11kb in size
This file may be also named chkntfs.exe or ?hkntfs.exe if it exist
the nasty one will probably be about 389 kb in size and just recently created
It may not exist, but take a look, ensure you don't try and delete the legitimate file

svcxnv32.exe <--do a search for this one

Stay in safe mode

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {458EADC7-6700-3EFB-513A-483656ECA9C7} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\odmao.dll

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {62999427-33FC-4baf-9C9C-BCE6BD127F08} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ZUCEN1I.exe] c:\documents and settings\allans\local settings\temp\ZUCEN1I.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [IPConfig] svcxnv32.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Wota] C:\Documents and Settings\allans\Application Data\crwu.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Svq] C:\WINDOWS\System32\?hkntfs.exe



After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows, including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
YES and exit Hijackthis

Double click on  search.reg and Allow it to merge to the registry

Open Cleanup and click the Cleanup button
Let it finish scanning for files, when it done it will prompt you to log off and back on
Can you at this time Restart your computer back to Normal Mode
It may take a bit longer as Cleanup will clean your prefetch folder too
But speed will increase in a short time

Post back a fresh hijackthis log and let me know if you problems are resolved

Post by: Guest on January 01, 2005, 06:13:04 AM
Completed steps as requested - some issues - see below - but so far pop up has NOT recurred

1. ZUCEN1I.EXE - not found
but I did find ZUCEN1I.DLL and also ZUCEN1I without suffix - both renamed rather than deleted

2 Using windws earch did NOT find svcxnv32.exe - I searched for sv*.* it was not in the list of 14 files found

New HiJack below

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Title: Ad / Spyware removal

After 24 hours no annoying popups - that seems to have got it - thanks

BUT - there are a number of websites which rerurn 500 Server Error
when accessed through my IE but are OK from my Netscape and are also OK from my wife's computer using IE

So there is clearly still an issue with IE.

Any ideas?

No I didn't think you were ignoring me - It trust you had a good holiday break.

1st website giving 500 Error was when I tried to download
######/benditup/CleanUp312.exe (http://\"http://######/benditup/CleanUp312.exe\")

2nd website was www.klm.com
Select United Kingdom
and then tried to log in with my ID

It failed on My own computer using IE - 500 Error
but was OK on same computer with Netscape
Tried on my wifes computer with IE - no problem
and also no problem with download cleanup


Still no repeats of pop ups so I guess thats fixed - thanks - I will delete the 2 ZUCEN1I files that I previousy only renamed

The first website you linked me too, no problem, it's frequently down

The second one, not sure why it won't work

Is that the only 2?
If that's not the only 2, it may be your having troubles running scripts on the page

1st one - I accept your point - except that simultaneously
my computer - fails
wifes computer no problem

yes I do seem to have script issues - I regularly get an error messages asking if I want to debug scripts - many sites give script errors

Can you-- enter IE's Internet options
Under the advanced tab ensure the folllowing

Either Restore defaults or
Make sure that Disable Script debugging is checked
Display a Notification of Every script error is unchecked
Use TLS 1.0 is Unchecked

I believe if you Restore defaults that those would be set that way above

If everything is running smooth now you should disable system restore---restart your computer--enable system restore
This will clear all your restore points and ensure you don't restore any nasties
Once reenabled it will create a fresh restore point

Here's a link, just in case your unsure how to
