Cleaning adware solution needed
« on: March 08, 2005, 04:40:11 PM »
OK, not trying to ask too much, because I see many people ask similar questions, I tried to clean adaware threats by myself. Reading other posts here, I suceed to delete many threats, but now I'm stuck with some things, and popups still coming.

Here's my HJK log:

Cleaning adware solution needed
« Reply #1 on: March 08, 2005, 04:45:28 PM »
Two things I was trying to remove:

1.
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 auto.search.msn.com
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 search.netscape.com
O1 - Hosts: 69.20.16.183 ieautosearch

this shouldn't be on my computer  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' />
tried to delete, but still reappears

2.
O20 - Winlogon Notify: URL - C:\WINDOWS\system32\odcache.dll

Something is wrong with this, I've deleted aklsp.dll using lspfix, but this still exists.

WOW, while writing previous posts, this appeared:

O2 - BHO: CeresObj Class - {00000049-8F91-4D9C-9573-F016E7626484} - C:\WINDOWS\ceres.dll

This wasn't here before. Just incredible.

Download L2mfix from here

http://www.atribune.org/downloads/l2mfix.exe

Save the file to your desktop and double click l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix folder on your desktop. Double click l2mfix.bat and select option #1 for Run Find Log by typing 1 and then pressing enter. This will scan your computer and it may appear nothing is happening, then, after a minute or 2, notepad will open with a log. Copy the contents of that log and paste it into this thread.

[color=\"red\"]IMPORTANT:  Do NOT run option #2 OR any other files in the l2mfix folder until you are asked to do so![/color]

Thank you for you answer guestlolo.
But I decided to finish this popup trauma.
Disk formatted and system reinstalled.

Still, I got one question. Now as the system is clean I expected everything to run smoothly. But, sometimes NAV reports some worm intrusion as I connect through dialup.

Here's the log from NAV Log Viewer:

Details: Rule "Default Block Bla Trojan horse" blocked (JC-5C9804C8B9FE(193.198.146.170),1042).
Inbound UDP packet.
Local address,service is (localhost,1042).
Remote address,service is (JC-5C9804C8B9FE(193.198.146.170),1042).
Process name is "N/A".

Is it something I should care, or some NAV bug?
Thanks in advance.

Don't know where that address is coming from

But I suggest you do this
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

Afterwards ensure you clear all your cache and cookies and see how it goes

Although you just did a clean install you may want to post a fresh Hijackthis log
I don't expect it to reveal anything, but let's take a look
