Another Hijacking...

[meandmydog]

Oh, brother.. second time this has happened to me, but a friend fixed that last one. I'm in Iraq using a laptop from work and I opened a bad link (or something). Anyway same story, my internet browser is now useless..

I'm a Mac user at home so the whole PC thing has me baffled... From what I have read.. I went ahead and down loaded Hijack this and ran a scan...

I have Symantec corp version running and I added Webroot Spy Sweeper before I left... but they didn't catch it.   http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':huh:\' />

Thanks
Cheers!
Amber

Hi Amber, and Merry Xmas
Even though your time zone may not be Christmas anymore  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':lol:\' />

Open Hijackthis>>>Open Misc Tools>>Open Process Manager and Kill these processes
C:\WINNT\system32\dinput95.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\mwsoemon.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\NrgUxg.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\Tphja4dq.exe

Download and Install the free version of Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.05
Ensure you have this version, or the Professional series
Open Ad-Aware, ensure to click the  check for updates online link and Connect to download the latest updates
Don't run a Scan yet

Download and Install Windows CleanUp!
This will cleanup your temp folders, cookies, etc....
Don't run this yet, if you are not able to download this tool, we can clean you out manually

Among other problems, you are also infected with Peper Trojan
Download and save to desktop this remover
PeperFix.exe


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.
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

You may want to print the rest of this out, or save it to a Notepad file on your desktop
Please disconnect from the Internet, I will also require you to Restart into Safe Mode

Now that you have the tools, let's try some
FIXES:

I recommend that you Remove MyWebSearch, this is up to you, but is known to cause Internet slowdowns, acts almost the same as Spyware
Access your Add/Remove Programs and Remove
MyWebSearch---MyWay----or similiar

Open Peperfix, Click the Find and Fix button, let it complete it's scan

When it's through
RESTART your computer into Safe Mode
You can do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key on the keyboard when the system is booting up

Run Peper fix one more time in safe mode

Find and delete these files or folders if they exist

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\ho?v?d.exe <--file, the question marks may not be there when you look for the file
C:\WINNT\system32\Tah95H5X.exe <--file
C:\WINNT\system32\dinput95.exe <--file
C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\cAiw.exe <--file

C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch <--folder, if you decided to Remove MyWebSearch

If you were able to download Windows CleanUp! could you please open the program
and click the CleanUp button
Allow it to scan for files
When it's done it will prompt you to Restart your computer to finish the cleaning
DON'T restart your computer yet

If you were not able to download CleanUp, could you navigate to your Temp folders,
Delete the Whole contents of the Temp folders, or whatever you can, but Don't delete the Temp directories themselves
If you ran CleanUp, don't worry about this step

# C:\WINNT\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\

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

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

Stay in safemode and open Ad-Aware (ensure you checked for updates earlier)
Perform a Full system scan
When it's finished scanning
At this point you should either right click on the screen and and choose the "Select All" Objects option or individually put a checkmark in each objects checkbox
click on the Next button. Ad-Aware SE will now present you with a confirmation box as to whether or not you would like to remove the objects you have just selected. Press the "OK" button

RESTART your computer back to Normal Mode
Post back a fresh Hijackthis log and let me know if your problems are resolved

[meandmydog]

uh.. I went to "kill" the four programs you told me to and two of them weren't there... but i did shut down in the mean time. Did they change names?

Here is my log now:

[guestolo]

Go ahead and do all of the other fixes that I posted earlier
Do what you can and let me know what you couldn't accomplish

Your Hijackthis log looks exactly the same as the last one
Which tells me that you didn't finish the fixes or you had open Windows when you fixed entries with Hijackthis
Peper Trojan is still there, please run the uninstaller as I posted above
Oh, by the way, if you did reboot, the 2 running processes associated with Peper will change names, don't worry about shutting them down if you can't find them
These are the processes names now assoc. with Peper
C:\WINNT\system32\Sgo6Jd19.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\AlrYT0v1.exe

Please try and do what you can before posting back, thanks

[meandmydog]

Thanks my friend!  I will check in with you tomorrow! I have to go to bed. Christmas is past, and it was dreary and rainy here! But still a nice day of cheer!

I'm leaving my computer on.. but it isn't hooked to the internet, so hopefully things wont "change" again?? http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':rolleyes:\' />

Enjoy your evening?? where ever you are!

[guestolo]

Go ahead and get some sleep, I have yet to enjoy the big feast and spirits  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
I'm here in Western Canada 1:38 pm local time Christmas day

If you get all those tools downloaded and ran
I expect to see a clean log tomorrow  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

We'll get some protection on your computer later so this won't happen again

[Guest]

Hi There!

I'm back and I followed your instructions as best I could.

Here are the variations...

1)  After you had me restart in safe mode and run Peperfix, you asked me to delete some files. I deleted everything except:

C:\WINNT\System32\Tah95H5X.exe

I couldn't find it...

2)  During my Hijackthis scan in Safe Mode you asked me to check and fix some files I did everything except:

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {00A6FAF6-072-44cf-8957-5838F569A31D} - C:\Program Files\ MyWebSearch\SrchAstt\1.bin\MWSSRCAS.DLL

O2 - BHO: MyWebSearch Search Assistant BHO - {00A6FAF1-072E-44cf-8957-5838F569A31D} - C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch\SrchAstt\1.bin\MWSSRCAS.DLL

O2 - BHO: mwsBar BHO - {07B18EA1-A523-4961-B6BB-170DE4475CCA} - C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch\bar\1.bin\MWSBAR.DLL

O2 - BHO: Band Class - {CC378B83-9577-44D0-B4F8-0DD965E176FC} - C:\Program Files\eSyndicate\esyn.dll

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MyWebSearch Email Plugin] C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\mwsoemon.exe

Because I couldn't find them

3) You also asked me to fix:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [58Y9XRW533ENPX] C:\WINNT\system32\Tah95H5X.exe

but it wasn't there.. so I deleted on that said

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [58Y9XRW533ENPX] C:\WINNT\system32\ELR10i.exe

Hope that was okay??


Alrighty then ... so here is my new log!

I'll look for you again later!! So you can tell me how to put a good stop to this maddness!!

Cheers!
Amber

[guestolo]

That looks better

Just the one you couldn't find in safe mode is back, we should be able to get it in Normal
Mode

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

O2 - BHO: Band Class - {CC378B83-9577-44D0-B4F8-0DD965E176FC} - C:\Program Files\eSyndicate\esyn.dll

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

RESTART your Computer
Find and delete this folder if it exists
C:\Program Files\eSyndicate <--folder


To enhance your privacy and security
You should set up protection against future attacks

You should install these 2 apps., they add extra security while
silently protecting you, without running in the background

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==Download link
Scroll down and click on IE-SPYAD.EXE Free!

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

Hold onto Ad-Aware--Check for updates every couple of weeks
Run a smart system scan, it's quicker, do a Full System Scan once in awhile
Hold onto CleanUp and cleanup those temp folders every couple of weeks

I noticed your a bit behind on Windows Updates, you may consider bringing IE up to SP1, this will also help to keep your system Secure
Here's a link to IE6 Sp1
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downlo...p1/default.mspx
or visit Windows Updates and get all Latest Critical Updates and Service Packs
Don't install the recommended unless you want them

A question,actually a comment, I see Trend Micro's PCCillin and Symantec's Nortons running in your processes
It's okay to have more than one AV, but having more than one running real time scanning can cause Conflicts and system slowdowns
Both AV's are scanning the same files....
You may consider just sticking with one, you can keep the other, but shut it down and do manual scans
This is up to you, but hold onto the one that is more up to date, and able to update
By the way, if neither are up to date or Trial versions
I have links to free ones that do a very good job,
Again, you only need one

If that one BHO entry from Hijackthis doesn't return, I don't need to see another Hijackthis log

One last question: Do any of your AV's come wrapped in a Security bundle that may include a Firewall, needed, especially if your on a High Speed connection such as Cable or DSL
If your not running through a  Router with built in Firewall support,  you may consider installing a Software Firewall
if you don't have one--
I have links to free ones that do a very good job.

Let me know how everythings running and definitely install SpywareBlaster and IE-Spyad

You are officially my hero!!! I've done as you said all is down loaded.

But I don't have any firewall. So any suggestions you have would be appreciated!!

Next time I'm in Vancouver or there abouts I'll have a beer in your honor.

Thank you so much!

Amber

[guestolo]

Glad to hear things are running good

I only like to recommend a couple of free Software firewalls
Again, you only need one

The one I prefer is Sygate's free edition
Here's a link to a direct download
http://www.tucows.com/preview/213160.html

Many others also recommend ZoneAlarm's free version

Stay safe  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
and have a great New Year
