Daosearch Removal...help
« on: April 03, 2005, 05:33:22 PM »
I've been beating my head against the wall trying to remove daosearch from my computer this afternoon.  I downloaded MS Antispyware, Adaware, and AVG.  I got rid of a lot of stuff but not dao search.  Here's my Hijack log.

I followed all of the instructions.  The following 2 files were not present:
c:\windows\system32\x1002142005.exe - probably b/c I uninstalled Visual Element Fx b/c I didn't know what it was

c:\windows\system32\occo.exe

FixBinet.exe deleted one file and CWShredder removed CWS.IEengine.

Here's the new log:

Go ahead and delete this folder
{586B925B-8D0E-475D-921F-8C9A69322C87}

In the c:\windows\system32\services folder

Also
as you can see by these entries from Export.bat
09/03/2002 11:49 AM 66,048 notepad.exe <--good guy
03/28/2005 08:59 AM 417,792 n?tepad.exe <--bad guy

Manually navigate to your
C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder

You will have to track down the bad guy, it may even be in disguise as the legitimate
notepad.exe
Right click on it and left click properties
Too identify the correct bad guy
Look for a Creation date of 03/28/2005
and a size of about 417kb
Delete only the bad guy

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

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {00000000-59D4-4008-9058-080011001200} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SysMon] C:\windows\system32\mswkrvw32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [gtrnupr] c:\windows\system32\gtrnupr.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [oqxsmlt] c:\windows\mjfjqmq.exe


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

Restart your computer and post back a fresh Hijackthis log
Can you also let me know if FixBinet found anything when you ran it, thanks

I had no luck finding the bad guy.  There is no file on my computer created 3/28/2005 and nothing resembling a notepad file name in the system32 directory.

I ran Hijack again and fixed the items you mentioned.  Here's the new log.

The FixBinet deleted 1 file when it ran.  Thanks.

Do you think I'm clean now...even though I can't find the bad notepad file?  Do you think using Firefox instead of IE would have prevented this problem?

I always use Firefox, well almost always
I have to use IE when I check Windows Updates

You may want to go back to your System32 folder

Make sure your set to show hidden files and folders
In the System32 folder
Click VIEW at the top and then click DETAILS
After details is selected
Arrange the files by name

Then look for the file n?tepad.exe
Correct size and date
As mentioned it may be called notepad.exe
Don't delete the legit one

If you still can't find it

Let's do some final cleanup

If everything is running better

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
How to Disable and Re-enable System Restore feature

Once back in Windows and System Restore is reenabled

You should set up protection against future attacks

SpywareBlaster by JavaCool---will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies
Install---Check for Updates---Enable all protection
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

IE-Spyad---IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
Here is a tutorial and download link
TUTORIAL==Link to Tutorial
Download link

With both, Check for updates every couple of weeks
Keep the link to IE-Spyad bookmarked so you can check for updates
SpywareBlaster, after every update just simply enable all protection

I double checked the system folder again and still found no file matching the description...hopefully it is gone.  

I went ahead and followed the rest of your instructions.  Things seem to be working just fine now.  Thanks for all of your help.
