Annoying Popups, and such
« on: April 10, 2005, 04:37:58 PM »
Please help me!!

I have spyware/browser hijacker issues like I have never seen before!

All of the pages that I browse to have certain words selected on the page, and they are underlined with hyper links. When you mouse over them it says "sponsored link"

I also get a different page than what is in my address bar.

I ran Hijackthis, and here are my results. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Download and UNZIP to desktop begin.zip
So you now have begin.reg and Export.bat on your desktop
[attachment=130:attachment]
We'll need these in a bit

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

O2 - BHO: ohb - {999A06FF-10EF-4A29-8640-69E99882C26B} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\nsc56B.dll

O4 - Startup: LimeWire On Startup.lnk = C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe
<-not needed on startup, the free version is bundled with Spyware
Up to you to keep it

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

Double click on begin.reg and allow to merge to the registry

Restart your computer
Find and delete this file if it is found
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nsc56B.dll

Post back a fresh Hijackthis log
Could you also double click Export.bat
A log will be produced called dpflist.txt, copy and paste back the contents here

That appears to have fixed my issue!!

The nsc56b.dll was not present after the restart.

It appears that you have or had Etcetra toolbar installed
and may of uninstalled it
I've never used it>>Do you still have it installed?

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

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C8B2A36-3DB1-42A4-A3CB-D426709BBFEB} - (no file)

Fix the next ones too, related to Etcetera, it appears corrupt
O2 - BHO: etcetera BHO - {1112954A-58B9-4677-8358-82287EF05414} - C:\Program Files\etcetera\etcetera.dll (file missing)
O3 - Toolbar: &etcetera - {1111954A-58B9-4677-8358-A04FF4A75778} - C:\Program Files\etcetera\etcetera.dll (file missing)

O8 - Extra context menu item: [e] Allow popups for this site - C:\Program Files\etcetera\Support\AllowPopup.htm
O8 - Extra context menu item: [e] Deny popups for this site - C:\Program Files\etcetera\Support\DenyPopup.htm
O8 - Extra context menu item: [e] Refine Search - C:\Program Files\etcetera\Support\Refine.htm
O8 - Extra context menu item: [e] Search - C:\Program Files\etcetera\Support\Search.htm

O9 - Extra button: etcetera - {8C285ED3-AAA7-458b-A85B-050D3EF56540} - C:\Program Files\etcetera\etcetera.dll (file missing)



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
Find and delete this folder if found
C:\Program Files\etcetera <-folder

Let me know if you can find any of these files, if you do remove them
# %System%\reg6523.exe
# %System%\winb2s32.dll
# %System%\winbbb.dat
# %System%\dsktrf.dll
# %System%\trgen<number>.dll
# %System%\cache32_trgen
# %System%\b2s_cache
# %System%\cache32_dsktptr
# %System%\rtneg<number>.dll

%system% stands for C:\Windows\System32 folder

Could you also let me know if you still have XFire Messenger installed
I'm not asking you to remove it, just curious if it's still installed

Also, could you open up Spybot
Let me know Spybot version and latest detection date
There was a recent update, just making sure you are updating properly
Sometimes when running through a proxy server, it doesn't appear to update

If Microsoft's Anti-Spware prompts you about a change after doing the fixes with Hijackthis
Allow the change, or it could interfere with any fixes

Okay...

Yes I did try to install Etcetra, but I abbandoned the effort because I had a corrupt exe file.

I ran Hijack, deleted all of the entries that you listed, and restarted.

I found C:\Program Files\etcetera, and deleted it.

None of the files that you listed were present in my sys32 folder.

I do still have Xfire installed, and use it quite regularly.

My Spybot is version 1.4B2

So far, everything still looks clear. Am I good to go?

Did you need another hijack log?

Thanks again!

Just as long as those last entries I asked you to fix are not present anymore I won't need too see a final hijackthis log
Make sure that they're gone

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
FYI>>IE-Spyad works also with Windows XP SP2

Stay safe  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

Thank you my friend. I worked that problem for almost 14 hours!!

You are the man!!!

One more thing...You mentioned that the standard version of Limewire was bundled with spyware, but my version is pro. Should I quit using it, or what?

Thanks again, and take care.

The pro version appears to be ok...
Here's a quote from Limewire's site
Quote
Q: Does LimeWire have spyware?

A: LimeWire Version 4.0 is completely free of any type of bundled software. However, some older versions of LimeWire come with bundled software. We do not consider this software to be "spyware" because it does not report any personal information. Users are not required to install this software but it helps defer costs. You can purchase LimeWire PRO, an ad-free version of our software which also comes with e-mail support.

That the usual thing you will read with any P2P program that you install
Bottom line, if it brings unwanted Ads to your desktop, it's spyware
The pro-version is ad-free, you should be OK

Standard warning as with any file sharing program

Careful what you download, scan everything with your AV
You know the warnings, I hope anyways  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

I'm not much to preach on File sharing programs, just be careful

I threw an Edit in there while you were posting
Pro version appears clean, I've never used it, but seems alright

Take care
