Title: Removing EliteBar
Post by: sohnir on June 08, 2005, 08:11:25 AM
Hi-
I need help with removing EliteBar. I ran AdAware and SpyBot; but still keeps on coming back.
I followed one of the forums on May-14-2005 opened by wakebrder03 and resolved by "questolo" in Tech Clinic.
I executed the instructions by questolo and ran "LQfix.bat" in SAFE mode and rebooted the system. However, I have not executed the "Elite.reg" as it appeared that it was specific to "wakebrder03"'s hijak log.
Although, it appears that EliteBar seems to be gone, my Windows Media Player got screwed up and some other popus still appear. I am not sure I have the clean system. There might be some residual bad registry entries.
As you had "Elite.reg" specifically for wakebrder03; could you please look at my hijack log.
Can you please help? If needed, I can upload the hijack log.
Thanks in advance.

Title: Removing EliteBar
Post by: sohnir on June 08, 2005, 09:15:57 PM
Also, it looks like there are more spyware programs installed. I see a "mirar" bar got installed on my IE. I also saw "IE Optimizer" got installed. I de-installed IE Optimizer from Control Panel -> Remove Programs. However, the IE bar is still there.
Please help.
Thanks.

Just an FYI; the Windows Media Player, PC Doctor for NT and Think Pad information programs also appears to be affected; as they have lost their original icons.

After after I ran LQFix.bat in SAFE mode yesterday, it appears that something is running in the background. There are little windows popping up and disappearing. Some remain on the screen until I kill it.
Thanks for your help.

FYI, when I try to invoke Windows Media Player, it pops up a windows = "Browser Enhancer". I know it is not related to Microsoft. At this point, I just kill it. And I see that wmplayer.exe got overwritten on 6/1/2005. Hence; some spyware overwrite the wmplayer.exe. Is that a correct assumption?
Thanks.

This will take a few tries to get you all clean
That's a correct assumption about wmplayer.exe...

Can I have you do the following please

==Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies, etc...
Windows Cleanup (http://\"http://downloads.stevengould.org/cleanup/CleanUp40.exe\")
Give the link time to load or try it twice, it may be busy
Alternate Download link (http://\"http://www.spywareaid.com/index.php?file=showsoftware&action=dl&softid=1&softtype=exe\")
We'll need this later

Access your Add/Remove programs via Control Panel
Remove these
Related Page
TContext


Afterwards,
Please Print this out or save these instructions to a Notepad file and save it to your Desktop
RESTART your Computer in SAFE MODE (http://\"http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001060608000039?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=4#_Section4\")
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as the system is restarting, after the single post beep, or use the link
I supplied for a more detailed explanation

Set Windows To Show Hidden Files and Folders
    * 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.

Find and delete these files or folders if found, we'll still have to remove some others later, but try and remove these for now
FILES
C:\WINNT\tct101.dll <-file
C:\WINNT\System32\WinNB57.dll
C:\WINNT\System32\wintask.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\winupdt.exe
C:\WINNT\System32\Cache\e121307.Stub.exe

Search for these files and remove them if found, ensure you are additionally searching in hidden files and folders

AUNPS2.DLL


FOLDERS
C:\WINNT\System32\nsvsvc <-this folder

C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer

==Open Windows CleanUp!>>START>>programs>>Cleanup!
Click on the CleanUp button, let it finish scanning for files, when it's done
DECLINE to Log off when scan is done.

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

As per your instructions, I removed the TContext and it went away. But the "Related Page" does not. It pops up a ad with radio buttons and when answering NO to each request; it does not de-isntall. What do I do with "Related Page". I think that's the one that shows up on IE on top of Google Bar.

I will perform the rest of the steps later today and post an update.
Thanks.

These looks like a spyware....Should I delete them?
Title: Removing EliteBar
Post by: Guest on June 10, 2005, 05:59:55 AM
Here is the synopsys of all my runs on your suggestions in details:
1) I was not able to de-install Related Page from Control Panel -> Add/Remove s/w programs. It still exists there. It popus a ad window and does not delete unless I click one of their choices. How do I get rid of "Related Page"?
2) Not able to find C:\WINNT\System32\Cache\e121307.Stub.exe and hence cannot delete it
3) Cannot find D9EBC318C and hence cannot delete it
4) C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer <- did not exist
5) In the final step before I ran the Find-Wooloci2.bat <- Normal start of after runninng the TDS-3; I got the following Windows message: RUNDLL -> Error loading stlb2.dll -> The speicified module could not be found
6) Lastly I am uploading the output of Find-Wooloci2.bat
Thanks again. Look forward to hearing for your feedback.

Not sure why your not getting the full report
Are you sure you unzipped it before running FindQoologic2.bat?

If  you are, can you try downloading this version of FindQoologic2.zip
Unzip it to a different location
Run FindQoologic.bat
Wait for the log and post it back here
[attachment=262:attachment]

Could you also open Hijackthis from this location
C:\Documents and Settings\meenavips\My Documents\Tools+Software
Click on Misc tools sections>>
To the right of Generate Startup list
Put a check in "List all minor sections (full)"
and "List empty sections (Complete)
Then
Click the Generate startup list
A text file will open
Copy and paste the contents back here

Also, let me know if you have any Anti-Virus software to install on your computer to keep more secure
Or do you need a free solution?

What I really want to ask you was that did the last run of Hijackthis updated registry with a list of startup programs or it just downloaded in a flat file?
Thanks.

Post by: guestolo on June 13, 2005, 10:52:25 PM
Not sure what your asking me on the last reply
But I was just checking on some other entries in the registry

Can you do the following for me please
Download and UNZIP to your desktop Export.zip
So you now have Export.bat on your desktop
Double click on Export.bat and a text file called Export.txt will be placed also on your desktop
Copy and paste back the whole contents please

[color=\"blue\"]Here is the export.zip output.
1) My question on the last update was whether we exported the startup list or we enforced one by giving a startup list?
2) Also, you mentioned about a free solution for virus protection. Is there one available
Thanks.[/color]

[color=\"blue\"]Hi-
I would really like to thank you for the help. The computer is looking good. Also, I would like to contribute to this site; as it helped me in resolving the problem.

Could you please let me know the easiest and safest way to do it?

Also, I saw one more pop-up today again? How do we diagnose that? Can you please help?

Thanks,

It looks good

If you still have the trial version of TDS3 installed on your computer go ahead and uninstall it

Afterwards, if this entry in your log related to TDS3 is still found
You can fix checked it with Hijackthis with all other windows closed
O1 - Hosts: 64.91.255.87 www.dcsresearch.com

The only thing you should do is visit Windows updates and install Service Pack 4
Make sure you keep up on all Critical updates
