Title: recurring spyware nightmare
Post by: djkwik on March 03, 2005, 10:54:56 AM
Yesterday (wednesday morning) I spent about 3 hours running AdAware, Spybot Seek & Destroy, HouseCall Anit Virus, and EZ Trust Antivirus.  None of them could locate this really persistent virus.  I was getting a pop-up window stating that Windows Firewall has detected Spyware activity on my computer, then explorer would open and go to some anti spyware page that refused to close no matter what i did.  Then I'd notice 10 new entries in my favorites list, also my homepage kept being set to about:blank...then I realized it was a CWS and ran my CWS Shredder, found the hidden dll.  thought that was the end of it....but of course not! 'puter ran fine the rest of the day, yet now again this morning, I get two alerts from my EZ Anti Virus regarding mxbckup.exe and truettf.exe.  I got those two yesterday, did a search, and deleted them.  Today however, search didn't find them, yet when I run the EZ AV program, and open windows\System 32, they are both right there.  the EZ delted them....ok and fine...I think.  While in the EZ window, I also notice that the Recycler File (which still boggles my brain) has two entries in it despite the fact that I continually empty my recycle bin....and I had read on some forum or another that if you empty your recycle bin, the recycler folder should be empty.  So I am wondering why there are still two things sitting in the recycler folder.  And what is up with EZ showing all these folders that you cannot find anywhere but on their tree?????  I'm not the savviest computer user, but I know when my system is under attack and have usually been able to get rid of the problem, but it seems this one has gotten me beat!  Any suggestions??? /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' />

Can you Download Hijackthis 1.99.1
A small utility to help identify if any Hijackers, Malware, Spyware, etc.....Reside on your computer

Important: Create a Permanent folder for Hijackthis
Double Click "MY Computer"
Open your C: drive
Click "File" >>> "New" >>>> "Folder"
A new folder will be created, name it HJT

Now you will have C:\HJT

Download Hijackthis from CLICK HERE (http://\"https://ssl.perfora.net/tools.radiosplace.com/HijackThis.exe\") or CLICK HERE (http://\"http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe\")
Save it to that new folder

Do a SCAN and Save a Log file---Save the log----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log  here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important

Well, I turned my computer off after starting this thread.  Remember that I had just run my EZ Antivirus program and it found the files "mxbkup.exe"  and  "truettf.exe" and deleted them.  well the very moment I started my computer to come to this site and see if you responded yet, right after startup, I got EZ alerts about those same damn two files.  I am still thinking it is those two sitting in the recycler that I can't find and EZ wont let me delete them from their tree that actually shows the recycler file.  I downloaded the HJT and below are the results:

Title: recurring spyware nightmare
Post by: Guest on March 03, 2005, 07:01:32 PM
PS, right after sending you the above message with the HJT log, explorer window tried to open again (but I put my LAN/Cable modem on standby) so this page starts to try to load...http\\www.sex-and-poker.com  and those same 10 porno sites have been added to my avorites list AGAIN!  I'm running the ez to delete those two .exe files.  Also, I didn't see those two files on the HJT log anywhere?  why is EZ finding them instantly and why won't they stay deleted????  these are the two files that are sitting in my recycler folder:

C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-360472731-572273255-329551234-1005 C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-515967899-1647877149-1801674531-1003  Ok, will leave you alone for now...I know you are helping a LOT of people.  HACKERS SUCK!

another PS:  two actually.  forgot to log in last time, thats why it shows my first ps as from guest but it was me.  Second:  going through temp internet files, I clicked on view objects and it shows downloaded programs.  the very first one is an activeX control and is damaged, and when I go further, there are 3 files dependant on it.  below is the actual file I am referring to:

   {9F1C11AA-197B-4942-BA54-47A8489BB47F}   4KB  

I have been seeing that ActiveX controls can also cause a lot of problems and was just wondering if this is something I should be concerned with.

thanks again.

Well, I went to bed after sending the last post with the latest HJT log and the remv3 log.  When I got up today, and went online, the very first thing to happen was that EZanitvirus detected two of those trojans AGAIN and then those 10 sites were listed in my favorites file AGAIN, so i turned off the modem and started running the various scans AGAIN.  While running the AdAware (just for sake of seeing if IT can find the ones that EZ keeps finding over and over and over again), and while it was running, ie explore windows kept trying to open to various sites AGAIN!  /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' />
NOTHING has changed so far. Oh, except that everytime EZantivirus always states that   mxbkup.exe is a win32.netmesser.F trojan yet today, i used the ez tree to see if it was in system32 fole, sure enough it was there, but this time not detected as that trojan!!!  This is making NO SENSE! and as I am typing this, some damn gambling thing just started to download!!! some Carnival Casino thing!!!  If anything, my computer has gotten worse! HELP!!!!!!!!  I also need to know why is that when I open up the Windows System 32 folder via my computer, these things never list, even when I have unchecked the hide file extensions, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc!!!!!  Yet they all list up for the EZ antivrus program.  I go into Windows system 32 via that and there are 20 times more files listed!  And regarding the RYCYCLER folder, those same two entries are still there.  I was able to go into the recycler folder and one of them would delete, but the other one says it cannot be deleted because it is being used by another person or program! Then the second one always shows up again later!  THIS IS BEGINNING TO PISS ME OFF SO BAD I'M ABOUT READY TO TAKE A SLEDGEHAMMER TO THIS COMPUTER! /wacko.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wacko:\' />

Let's try this
Download the Pocket Killbox (http://\"http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip\")
UNZIP it to a folder of your choice

Save the rest of these instructions to a Notepad file and leave it open on the desktop
Disconnect from the Internet
With just these instructions open

Run Pocket KillBox
click on Tools --> Select Delete Temp Files. Click OK.

In Killbox
At the main screen of Pocket Killbox, select the option: Replace on Reboot
Also tick Use Dummy
In the Full Path of File to Delete box, copy and paste this entry:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\hdyue.dll

Press the button with a red circle and a white X
Click Yes to Replace
When asked if you would like to Reboot, select YES.

Please allow to Reboot, but reboot to safe mode

Find and delete any files found bad by EZTrust again

Stay in safe mode and run Remv3.bat again
Ensure your set to Show Hidden files and folders

Stay in safe mode and recheck to make sure that
Obtain DNS server address automatically is still selected

Restart back to Normal mode

Download this virus checker from eScan
Mwav.exe (http://\"ftp://ftp.microworldsystems.com/download/tools/mwav.exe\")
There's nothing to install, save it and then double click to run
It will self extract

Select all local drives, scan all files, press 'SCAN' and when it is completed, anything found will be displayed in the lower pane.
In the Virus Log Information Pane
Left click and Highlight all the info in the Lower pane---  Use "CTRL  C" on your Keyboard to copy all found in the lower pane  and paste it in your next reply.

****If prompted that a Virus was found and you need to purchase the product  to remove the malware, just close out the prompt and let it continue scanning
We just want to see where the bad guys are

Post back a fresh hijackthis log afterwards too
along with the new C:\log.txt

ok man, I give up!  i did EXACTLY what you told me to do.  first EZ couldn't find anything at all while in safe mode.  i did the remv3 and this time those files didn't list.  I used the killbox and it told me that the file I copy/pasted into it was erased by an outside source!  Then when I come back online to download the Mwav.exe thing, EZ THEN starts going crazy the moment I went online, finding those same recurring trojans!  Then I went offline and ran the Mwav!  it finds 24...count them 24 viruses!  BUT I go to copy and paste the list in the lower box just like you said and the damn thing won't let me!  So i go to view the log itself, what do I find, a trillion line log that I start to painstakingly go through to try to find all 24 that say "no action taken" so I can copy and paste them here....only I start getting inundated with pop-upwindows again, DESPITE NOT BEING ONLINE!!!and while trying to close them all down, I wound up closing the log file I was working with!  NOW I CAN'T RETRIEVE IT!  I gave up and went to eat some dinner.  I come back, run the EZ again, it deletes the truettf.exe win32.bloon.c trojan, and the iecustme.exe win32.startpage.NW trojan.  I ran the remv3 again and this time it finds only one file....I tried to run it 3 times in a row and each time it finds different files altogether! so how the hell am I supposed to use KillBox to get rid of them when they keep changing on me!  I am now running another Mwav, and this time its only finding the Java based viruses-last time there were 4 of them, now there are 8!  And I will bet anyone a million dollars that as soon as I am done, I will get all those pop-ups again, the ten porn entries on my favorites list for the 20th time and when i go to do all of this again it will all be different YET AGAIN!  

SO, i am thinking of just salvaging what I can to cdrom from files I know have never shown up as being infected (personal stuff...all the viruses seem to be in program or system files esp. system32) just save what I can, dump the core and just reload my windows xp from my start-up disc.  Do you think THAT would finally get rid of this S--T?!

Oh, incidentally...as I am typing this right now, I am getting slammed with frikken pop-ups  AGAIN! oh, and now the MWav has stalled out entirely!  do you have any other ideas, or do you think I would just save myself a lot of time and all this irritation by dumping the core and starting over again like i just bought this computer!? /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' />

Can you reboot in Safe mode and run the MWav scan

Save the log to a Notepad file
Remember you have to Highlight the results and use the Ctrl + C keys on the keyboard to copy the results

Run RemV3.bat in safe mode also

Back in Normal mode
Return here with a fresh hijackthis log
Post the C:\Log.txt
and the results from eScan Mwav scan

/blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' /> WHEW.  Ok, here are the log entires you requested.  You didn't specify whether to do the final hijackthis scan in safe or normal mode, so I did both and they are both here.  running the mwav in safe mode found all those trojans.  the java trojans i mentioned in my last post...I wrote them all down and deleted them manually (have had to do those before...get alot of those java trojans and ad-aware usually finds them)  anyways...here ya go...hope you can do something for me...I still think it would take a lot less time to dump the core and reload windows and all my programs from scratch.

When I ran the Rootkit.bat, a small DOS window openend for a second, then closed, but no file named Rootkit.reg showed up.  I ran a search but nothing came up.  Here is the Export.bat results as requested.  Oh, when I came online to do this, I got slammed with the iecustme.exe and the truettf.exe (startpage.NW trojan & bloon.c trojan) again and that Carnival Casino started to download yet again.  I am going to run ez antivirus to get rid of the trojans again and go in and manually delete the downloading program for Carnival Casino yet again (about 5th time now)  Let me know what to do next.  I'm pushing about 30 hours worth of time on this endeavor so far>

Take a look here at some more info from Symantec
You will want to edit the registry in safe mode
https://www-secure.symantec.com/avcenter/ve...an.flush.a.html (http://\"https://www-secure.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.flush.a.html\")


Open the Remv3 folder you have unzipped
Inside it you will see a text file called
ver3.txt<<Open it

Add this to the list of files

sysobj.exe
wosys32.dll
woinst.exe
hdmoo.dll
hdyue.dll

Save the change and close it out

Can you download and save to desktop IEFix.zip
Unzip the contents so you will now have IEFix.reg on the desktop
Don't run it yet, we'll need it later
[attachment=52:attachment]

With Windows set to show Hidden files and folders
Print the rest out or save to a Notepad file on the desktop


RESTART to safe mode

Navigate to Remv3.bat and run it

Look for any of these files and delete them if they exist
C:\WINDOWS\system32\date.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\menu.txt
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mslcy.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysobj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\connmie.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctbasxt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dxconf.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hdmoo.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wosys32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\woinst.exe

Navigate to this folder and delete the Whole contents
C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch <--delete the whole contents

If this folder exists remove it
C:\Program Files\Casino Online<---or similiar

Stay in safe mode
Go to START>>Run>>type in regedit
Hit OK
Navigate to this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Highlight Run
On the right hand side look for this entry and delete it
sysobj.exe

Also look for the ones recommended by Symantec's for removal
In the registry, you may also want to highlight MyComputer
Click EDIT>>FIND
Look for this entry, remove or let me know if found
69.50.184.84

Exit the Reg Editor

Access your Control Panel
If your in Category View>>Switch to Classic View
- Double-click the Network Connections icon.
- Right-click your connection >>>Probably Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
- Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
Be sure "Obtain DNS server address automatically' is selected. OK your way out.
You may also want to click the Advanced tab>>DNS and edit out entries related if found

Go to START>>Run>>type in cmd
At the prompt type in
ipconfig /flushdns

Stay in safe mode
Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

O2 - BHO: Name - {1E92A794-FA67-415D-B3B3-F6724FFB84E1} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mslcy.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sysobj.exe] sysobj.exe

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{DF7420D7-D241-4731-A40D-69C2ECB429F0}: NameServer = 69.50.184.84,195.225.176.37
O17-HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\..\{1F8C4462-9923-4A6F-82A5-717491559883}: NameServer = 69.50.184.84,195.225.176.37


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

Navigate to and manually delete the Whole contents of your Temp folders
or whatever you can, it's safe to delete the Whole contents
C:\Windows\Temp\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\

Access Internet Options via Control Panel
Under the General tab---Delete files + offline content

Double click on IEFix.reg you unzipped earlier to desktop and allow to merge to the registry

Restart back to Normal mode
Don't open a browser yet, instead access Internet Options via Control Panel
Under the Programs tab "Reset Web Settings"
Under the General tab>> Reset home page if required

You may want to run one more Online Virus scan at Housecall's

I don't know what your talking about
I never asked you to install Norton's
I just supplied a link with additional information

I'm assuming by our past posts your ok editing the registry
Take a look at the link I supplied from Symantecs
and in safe mode remove the entries they recommend for removal
Title: recurring spyware nightmare
Post by: djkwik on March 06, 2005, 04:39:28 PM
OK, there were no entries in the registry that Symantec's site listed..onto other things:

I had problems with your last set of instructions:

Your instruction:

Navigate to Remv3.bat and run it

Look for any of these files and delete them if they exist
C:\WINDOWS\system32\date.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\menu.txt
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mslcy.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysobj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\connmie.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctbasxt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dxconf.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hdmoo.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wosys32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\woinst.exe

I ran Remv3. Am I supposed to look for and delete these files directly on the notepad log?  Or was I supposed to use start>>search and look for them (that is what I did...I only found two of them and deleted them)

Your instruction:

Look for this entry, remove or let me know if found
69.50.184.84

I did start>>search and found one similar...it was exactly as above but followed by:  ,195.225.176.37     so I left it alone since it was not JUST the 69.50.184.84 by itself.

Your instruction:

Access your Control Panel
If your in Category View>>Switch to Classic View
- Double-click the Network Connections icon.
- Right-click your connection >>>Probably Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
- Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
Be sure "Obtain DNS server address automatically' is selected. OK your way out.
You may also want to click the Advanced tab>>DNS and edit out entries related if found


I don't have an option under the View tab that says Classic View.  I have it set up as Icons..I double clicked the "my network connections" icon, and the folder is empty.  I have a cable LAN set-up.  When I go into Internet Properties , and click on the LAN settings tab at the bottom of the Connections page, "automatically detect settings is checked.  Is this the same thing??????


Your Instruction:

Go to START>>Run>>type in cmd
At the prompt type in
ipconfig /flushdns


I got an error when I tried to do this.so i closed out the dos window and moved onto your next instruction.(however, once back in normal mode, I did it again so I could tell you the exact error message, but this time it worked and i got the message successfully flushed~ etc etc.  did I screw something up doing it in normal mode?  and why didn't it work in safe mode??..

Your Instruction:

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

O2 - BHO: Name - {1E92A794-FA67-415D-B3B3-F6724FFB84E1} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mslcy.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sysobj.exe] sysobj.exe

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{DF7420D7-D241-4731-A40D-69C2ECB429F0}: NameServer = 69.50.184.84,195.225.176.37
O17-HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\..\{1F8C4462-9923-4A6F-82A5-717491559883}: NameServer = 69.50.184.84,195.225.176.37

The second 017 entry above ( \CS2\ ) did not exist.  my log had a \CS1\  so I left it alone, but the others were there and I checked/fixed them.

Your Instruction:

Navigate to and manually delete the Whole contents of your Temp folders
or whatever you can, it's safe to delete the Whole contents
C:\Windows\Temp\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\

I did this and was wondering if I was supposed to also go into the Local Service-Temp internet files and delete them as well...I tried to but got a warning about deleting one of the files, so I played it safe and left it alone.

Your Instruction:

Restart back to Normal mode

The very second Windows tried to load back in normal mode, I got the following error window:

Generic Host Process for Win32

the error signature is as follows:

BC Code:  a0        BCP1:00000101     BCP2:00000007     BCP3:F970D7A4     BCP4:00000000    OSVer: 5_1_2600   SP:0 2_0  Product: 768_1


I kept clicking "don't send"  eventually windows opened into normal mode and I was able to run the HouseCall and it immediately found a MalWare trojan in the system files and deleted it.

I then ran another HJT and Remv3 and those logs are to follow:

Post by: guestolo on March 06, 2005, 04:56:29 PM
Are you saying you didn't manually access your System32 folder and delete these files?
That is what I wanted you to do, there in bold
C:\WINDOWS\system32\date.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\menu.txt
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mslcy.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysobj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\connmie.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctbasxt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dxconf.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hdmoo.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wosys32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\woinst.exe

DELETE those files in bold

Also Quote++I did start>>search and found one similar...it was exactly as above but followed by: ,195.225.176.37 so I left it alone since it was not JUST the 69.50.184.84 by itself.

Again, I have no idea what you mean by this
Are you looking in the registry?????
Yes, as you can see by the Hijackthis log this is part of the problems
Look at the address in the Hijackthis log
that I asked you to remove
Example
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{DF7420D7-D241-4731-A40D-69C2ECB429F0}: NameServer = 69.50.184.84,195.225.176.37

Access your Control Panel
If your in Category View>>Switch to Classic View
- Double-click the Network Connections icon.
- Right-click your connection >>>Probably Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
- Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
Be sure "Obtain DNS server address automatically' is selected. OK your way out.
You may also want to click the Advanced tab>>DNS and edit out entries related if found
Ummm, if you open up Control Panel
On your left hand side you will see "Switch to Classic View"

Symantec's recommends that you navigate and remove some values in the registry
Did you do this?????
Did you look at the link I supplied to Symantec's carefully?

I'm sorry, I thought you were more confortable in the registry

Also, you have a new file in the system32 folder we must remove
hdguz.dll

P.S. Yes it's fine to run ipconfig /flushdns in Normal mode

Also, as mentioned, it's safe to delete EVERYTHING in the TEMP Folders
Did you delete the whole contents of the Prefetch folder???
If you see any entries with this ip address in hijackthis log
NameServer = 69.50.184.84,195.225.176.37
It's safe to remove

When I asked you to do the below, what did you do?

Open the Remv3 folder you have unzipped
Inside it you will see a text file called
ver3.txt<<Open it

Add this to the list of files

sysobj.exe
wosys32.dll
woinst.exe
hdmoo.dll

FIRS TOFF...YOU SAID TO EITHER DELETE THAT FILE OR TELL YOU ABOUT IT..Also look for the ones recommended by Symantec's for removal
In the registry, you may also want to highlight MyComputer
Click EDIT>>FIND
Look for this entry, remove or let me know if found
69.50.184.84
.I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT...I DID CHECK IT IN THE HJT AND CLICKED FIX THOUGH SO IT SHOULD BE GONE.

SECOND:  A LONG TIME AGO I SET UP MY XP TO BE LIKE CALSSIC WINDOWS...WHEN I OPEN MY CONTROL PANEL THERE IS NO LEFT SIDE TO THE PAGE THEREFORE NOTHING STATING CLASSIC VIEW...SINCE MY WHOLE WINDOWS IS SET UP TO CLASSIC STYLE!

I USED THE LINK YOU PROVIDED TO SYMANTEC AND READ THE ENTIRE PAGE AND LOOKED FOR THOSE THINGS IN MY REGISTRY...I COULD NOT FIND THEM!

I DID THE COPY AND PASTE OF THOSE FILES DIRECTLY TO THE DOCUMENT CALLED VER3.TXT.  AND I SAVED THE CHANGES BEFORE EXITING IT.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU!  I MEAN REALLY....I TOLD YOU THREE TIMES NOW IT WOULD PROBABLY SAVE ME A HELL OF A LOT OF TIME AND FRUSTRATION JSUT DUMPING MY CORE AND RELOADING THE WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM FROM SCRATCH!  

I HAVE TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU SAY TO THE LETTER AND YET YOU SEEM TO THINK I'M NOT DOING IT?!

Download Rootkit Revealer here: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware...kitreveal.shtml (http://\"http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/rootkitreveal.shtml\")
Unzip it to a folder
Open the folder and launch RootkitRevealer.exe
Press the Scan button.  Please give this time to run
When it's done
Go to  FILE>>SAVE
Save the log and post it back here

Also post a Fresh Hijackthis log too

Can you also
Download the Registry Search Tool
from Here
http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ (http://\"http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/\")
UNZIP it for now, we'll need it later

Sorry man, its just for one thing, this is difficult doing this on-line, second, this whole virus thing has just frustrated the lviing crap outa me, and third, I've NEVER been in my registry before all of this...so I am a bit nervous about what all of this is doing to my computer.  One thing I'd like to say is that all the pop-ups have stopped (for now).  The first hting I pasted below is that Ver3.txt that has those entries that you asked me to add to it:

Next.  When you wanted me to look for those files..you didn't specify to physically go into my System32 file to look for them.  I copy and pasted each one into my start>>find and it looked in the System 32 folder and found 2 of that whole list.  Lately, when I physically go into System 32, it doesn't list all of the files that appear on the EZ Antivirus' list for System 32, so I don't know what thats all about.  I will go back to your post and physically look for those particular files again and delete them.

Regarding my Contol Panel....I guess you didn't realize that my entire Windows XP os was set up to be like classic windows when I very first got this computer...I hate the XP styling and did that first thing.  But seriously, when I went into the network yesterday, the folder was empty...this morning, I just this second went into it and now I have:Local Area Connection under the heading "LAN or High Speed Internet"  and two icons: New Connecton Wizard and Network Setup Wizard  under the Wizard heading...will have to refer back to your previous post to see what you wanted done there again...the Obtain DNS server address automatically IS checked and in the advanced, under the DNS tab, the "Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes" is checked as well as its sub category "Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix"

Ok, you also wanted a fresh HJT log, here it is:

I went into System32 folder and looked for the files you told me to look for :
C:\WINDOWS\system32\date.dat
C:\WINDOWS\system32\menu.txt
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mslcy.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysobj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\connmie.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctbasxt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dxconf.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\hdmoo.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sprmover.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wosys32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\woinst.exe


The only ones I found in there were the first 2:  date.dat and menu.txt and i deleted them both.

Is there a way of emptying ALL the tem/temp internet files/history from all users at once?  I don't have any secondary users set up on this computer...but 've got folders that say Administrator, all users, default user, home, local service, network service, AND owner.  Takes 4ever to go into al of these and try to delete everything...some don't even have a Local Settings folder.  And the "local Service" user won't let me delte anything at all.  HEY: is "index.dat" an important file...its always in my cookies folder and it shows up in all these other fodlers and refuses to be delted...says that windows is using it.  Just wondering.


Just to let you know.  I work third shift.  I won't get a chance to check for your post until after 6pm tonight (monday march 7)  Hope what I sent in this post helps you to help me....and i don't mind working in the registry..jsut nervous about it...I want to do whatever it takes to get my computer to a point where I can set a restore point....OH BTW... what about that virus that hides in the System Volume Info file?????  I had that once and system restore became something that I don't even use anymore...took me forever to figure out how to get it out of htat folder, and now, my computer refuses to allow me access to the System Volume Information folder at all.  Any ideas on that???   HAve a good one...and thanks for being patient with me. /unsure.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':unsure:\' />

Post by: guestolo on March 07, 2005, 08:25:17 PM
Let's try a different route now that your log looks clean

Open the Remv3 folder you have unzipped
Inside it you will see a text file called
ver3.txt<<Open it
Add this to the list of files
hdguz.dll

Once that is done save it and close it out

Download the trial version of tds-3 anti trojan from here:
http://www.diamondcs.com.au/tds/downloads/...s/tds3setup.exe (http://\"http://www.diamondcs.com.au/tds/downloads/tds3setup.exe\")
Install it and Restart your computer when prompted
Don't run a scan yet

When your back in Windows it's important to update the latest RADIUS database

IMPORTANT>>>Right click the link below, select "save target as" or save link as
http://www.diamondcs.com.au/tds/radius.td3 (http://\"http://www.diamondcs.com.au/tds/radius.td3\")
Save it to the directory where you installed TDS-3
The default location should be
C:\Program Files\TDS3
Allow it to overwrite the previous radius.td3

If your unsure how to update it follow the instructions from this link
http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=update (http://\"http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=update\")
Follow the Manual update procedure
Again, don't run a scan yet

Print this out or save to a Notepad file for easy access

Disable System Restore, don't enable it until prompted
This link will explain how to disable it if unsure
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm (http://\"http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm\")

Restart  into Safe mode without Network connection
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as The system is booting up

Launch TDS-3. In the top bar of tds window click system testing> full systemscan.
Let it completely finish scanning---Even if it appears to hesitate at times
Detections will appear in the lower pane of tds window after the scan is finished  Right click the list> select save as txt.>> save this to a convenient location, I'll need to see it later

After saving the scandump.txt go ahead and right click the list of alarms again, this time select delete...only delete those with POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION

Stay in safe mode
Run Remv3.bat again

Restart back to Normal mode
Re-enable System Restore

Post back a fresh Hijackthis log and the Scandump.txt
and the log from Remv3.bat

Please just copy and paste the Hijackthis log as it appears in Notepad
Don't alter it in anyway when posting it, thanks

Post by: djkwik on March 07, 2005, 09:59:12 PM
OK, i ran the TDS3 thing, it only found one Positive Identification...from my kodak camera files...the udater...I deleted it anywyas because you said to delete anything that had a positive ID.  Its scandump.txt is the first one of the three below.

I ran the remV3 again...I don't know why, but it no longer is saving the files as ver1.txt, ver2.txt, or whatever.  anyways, the scan I did just run I saved it to a notepad file on my desktop and the results are below (follows the scandump.txt)

I also ran a HJT again.  I have never altered the notepad log before copying and pasting it here...I think what is happening is that I don't have the window fully maximized when I copy and past...this time I maximized the notepad window and then did a copy a paste below (the last thing posted below)

I turned back on System restore BUT DID NOT SET A RESTORE POINT YET...I am waiting for you to tell me to do that.  Hope to hear back from you soon.  I leave for work at 10:30 pm (cst) otherwise will log back on here again Tuesday morning about 730am.  thanks again.

Hey...just for the hell of it, when I got done with the previous post, I emptied all temp/temp internet files/history, emptied the recycle bin, did a restart (staying in normal mode)  then I ran a HouseCall Online scan again.  AGAIN while it was scanning the SYSTEM FILES, a notification popped up that it found a MalWar_Trojan and deleted it.  So apparantly, there is still something hiding in my computer?????  I cleared everything once again, did another restart and ran Housecall a second time, but it didn't find anything on the second pass (I thought perhaps it was a trojan that activates during start-up)  but its not there.  I just thought you should know that it DID find something in the System Files though that first scan tonight....just like yesterday when you asked me to run a HouseCall scan.  What do you think???

Your log looks clear, but just for the heck of it, instead of trying one at TrendMicros

Can you try one at Panda's
Save the log afterwards, if it finds anything post it back here
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/co...n_principal.htm (http://\"http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm\")

Could you also Navigate too these directories
C:\WINDOWS folder and
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

Do you see Notepad.exe in both locations?
Don't delete them, just curious if they are both there

Hi.  I fell asleep dUring that Panda Scan.  When I came around, I looked at the screen, and there was something that said "New Profile" and the word Outlook was in the field, so I clicked OK, I thought it had to do with the Panda Scan.  After I clicked ok, then I was clear to click the See Report button on the Panda Scan.  Dammit!  Now I am thinking that the "new profile" thing was something unrelated!  I was NOT online when the new profile window popped-up since Panda Scan said I could go offline while it performed the scan, but had to go back online to get the results.  So...I don't know what the hell that was all about.  I did a start>>search for the word Outlook and did find one listing that shows it was modified today, during the time the scan was running.  the file in question is  "Outlook.pst"  I DID have the scan configured to check email messages too....does that have something to do with it???

At any rate... You asked me to see if Notepad.exe was in both Windows AND windows system 32....YES it is.

Here is the Panda scan...it said it found  2 viruses. (man that scan takes forever)  here is the log from that scan:


Incident                      Status                        Location

I would think its easy to just go in and manually delete the first one but I won't until you tell me how to do it, besides, when I did physically go into C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files to see if I could see it listed in there....the only thing in there were icons for ActiveX controls....I right clicked on each icon (individually), clicked properties, then "dependency" tab and not one of them lists that "dm.inf" file.

As for the Windows Registry...didn't we already look in there?  

SO there are still 2 files on my sytem and I am getting to the point where Iam just fed the hell up with all of this hours and hours  and hours of scanning and never getting my system completely clean.  Of all the threads on this forum that I looked at before registering and starting my own, I've never seen anyone go through THIS many hoops and not have a final thank you post for having a totally clean system.  Can't figure out why my computer is such a problem!  I'm tired, I'm going to bed, hopefully you can figure this mess out because I don't know what to do. /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' />

Hey, while waiting for a fresh post form you, i ddi some googing regarding the fastsearchweb that panda found.  I found a page at TrendMicro that had very detailed instructions for going into te registry to remove this.  I followed those instructions (I'm getting a bit more comfortable doing the registry deletes) and I actually got rid of the damn thing.  However!!  When I ran my next scan with panda, NOW I have one from GloboSearch.  I googled that and found TrendMicro's page for deleting that one as well.  I followed all of their instructions again, only this time I could not find ANY of the entries they told me to look for.  at the bottom of the TrendMicro page it says that if I can't delete the Globosearch by following the above instructions, I need to restart my system.  I restarted and ran another panda scan and it was STILL THERE.  

I looked for everything you mentiond in your very recent post and did not find ANY of the items you listed (a good thing?) I also did the cmd and deleted that  "dm.inf" and when I ran one more Panda scan...it was gone!!! HOOORAH!!!  But that damn GloboSearch is still sitting inmy system and as far as I can tell, its the only one left to get rid of (are we finally almost to a clean PC???)  Oh, BTW  I turned System Restore back off as it was suggested that I do so for the Panda Scan to run the most accurate and thorogh scan.

SO  Globoearch is still on my system and I need help getting rid of it.  SECOND...from what I can see of their advertisements, PandaScan offers the most comprehensive program for sale to actually protect and delete these things itself when it finds them....my question...I am not above paying for a system protection IF IT WORKS!!! - - - Would you recommend the Panda products?????  I rally am spending WAY too much time doing all of this manually and would gladly pay $50 to have a program do all of this for me, but i want the BEST one...Panda claims to scan for over 90,000 viruses and updates DAILY...sounds good to me.

Here is the HJT log you requested and following it is the most recent Panda scan shwing NO dm.inf and the GloboSearch file that I could not find any of the registry values for but its still there.  What next????

PS, the HJT log shows all those Active X controls except for three..the one I am concerned about....whenI go into its properties, it says its damaged...here are the particulars:

 This is the id for that ActiveX thats damaged.  What are your thoughts on this???   {9F1C11AA-197B-4942-BA54-47A8489BB47F}
In the Dependency tab, it shows three files...one of them  C:\Windows\system32\IUCTL.DLL  is also damaged.

The other two have the following ID's:

{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} Shock wave Flash Object

  Should I be concenrned with any of this stuff at all?

Post by: guestolo on March 09, 2005, 12:55:04 AM
Don't worry about the Active X controls
The one damaged can be removed, related to an old Microsoft Windows Update control

The Registry Search Tool
You Downloaded and unzipped earlier
Run "RegSrch.vbs"
Copy and paste this in the dialog box:
GloboSearch

Click OK
After a while a prompt will come up.(About 10 seconds or a bit longer)
Click OK to open in Notepad or Wordpad
 Post back the results that are found

Do the same for this entry
popup_bl


Could you also look in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
If
popup_bl.dll is found, delete it

Also look for
systr.dll in the same folder, if found delete it

One quick download
Download and save to Desktop
Silent Runners.vbs (http://\"http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.vbs\")

Double click to run it
Wait about 10 seconds to prompt you of it's findings, post the log it produces

Hey.  I ran the RegSrch tool and it found nothing for either one of those.  this is really frustrating since Panda seems to think the globosearch is on my computer, but it can't be found anywhere. /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />   There was no log created in either notepad or wordpad....I am assuming that is because it didn't find anything.

I looked in the system32 folder for those two you told me to look for...neith one of them were there...One came close...there is a file called    "popup.ocx" but not one with a .dll

OK, here is the log you requested.

I already installed IE-Spyad yesterday and enabled maimum protection...quick question...does htis thing actually stop a webpage form opening if its one of the list?  Its not the same thing as the windows firewall message bar that springs to life when a pop-up has been blocked....some of the download links you have sent me to, i have to "temporarily allow pop-ups" to get the page to open or to get the download to start.

I just finished installing SpywareBlaster, updated and enabled all protection.  Lets hope this does the trick.  Let me know if there is a problem with anything on the above log, or if you think my computer is finally clean.  Any other scans to run to make sure??  PS:  cna i start getting rid of all these things all over my desktop (killbox, rootkitreveal,regsrch, iefix, silent runner, etc)  I know I can get rid of the shortcuts, but I saved a lot of the zipfiles directly to the desktop so i din't have to go hunting for them....which ones should i keep installed on my system and which ones can i get rid of if any?

Not seeing anything bad, how's everything running?

killbox,rootkitreveal,regsrch, iefix, silent runner, Remv3.zip . Rootkit.bat,Export.bat,

You can Manually delete the above

Hold onto TDS3 for the 30 days, before your time expires do a manual update again and run another scan
Then you can uninstall it

Everything seems to be running fine, no pop-ups, nothing added to my favorites list.  I am going to turn System Restore back on and set a restore point now....hopefully that will save me from having to go through all of this nightmare again just in case one of these protection programs fails me.

Thanks again for all your help and patience.  I have to say that it really does make me sick knowing how many sicko-thieving-nosey bastards are out there working so hard at trying to get into peoples' computers!  Oh well...thats the world these days.

Awww.... a happy ending. I'm only posting on this topic so that I can remember the name of this site once this same damn problem gets too out of control for me. (Just to make it easier for me to find my post on Google or something when I decide to come back: conmie, dxconf, truettf, 302, sccfull). Ok then.
