Please help me...

We were infected with the funner.exe worm. I have managed to log back in and download Hijackthis. Here follows the hijackthis log;

How do I replace the deleted files?

[guestolo]

How do you replace what deleted files???
Can you let me know what steps you have taken already

Could you also
Navigate to this file on your hard drive

C:\Windows\System.ini

Right click on it and select OPEN

Copy and paste back the contents to this thread

[ababyspice]

So far I have followed the instruction you gave to Dominik on Jan 28th (topic - psapi.dll and funny.exe Problem, Funner Worm?)

So I have booted to Command prompt only
Typed in

edit c:\windows\system.ini

Notice the space between edit and c
and hit Enter

in System.ini under the boot tab, navigated to Shell under the boot section

Changed it to read 'Shell=Explorer.exe'

I still couldn't log in so then I;

Got to the command prompt again and typed in the below-

del c:\windows\system\explorer.exe

del c:\windows\system\iexplore.exe

del c:\windows\system\userinit32.exe

del c:\windows\rundll32.exe

del c:\windows\hosts

del c:\funny.exe

del c:\windows\temp\*.*
At the prompt to delete contents of directory I pressed Y then hit Enter

Finally I entered this again at the prompt
edit c:\windows\system.ini

It still read
Shell=Explorer.exe

Restarted the computer succesfully and downloaded Hijackthis 1.99

Did a scan and posted the log file on my previous post.

I then downloaded and saved to Desktop Rundll32_98.zip

That's as far as I have got. I can still use the computer but it is unstable and keeps coming up with security errors. Also, when I turn it on it comes up with a few errors about missing files.

[guestolo]

Open Hijackthis>>Open Misc tools section>>Open Hosts file Manager
If prompted to create a new Hosts file
ALLOW IT

Next, ensure you unzip Rundll32.zip to your C:Windows folder

I would also run System File checker to see if you have any corrupt or missing files

START>>RUN>>Type in sfc

You still didn't do this

Navigate to this file on your hard drive

C:\Windows\System.ini

Right click on it and select OPEN

Copy and paste back the contents to this thread

Could I also see a fresh Hijackthis log, it's been some time since you posted back and you still have some cleaning to do in your log

[ababyspice]

Thank you – I have created a new hosts file and made sure that the rundll32.zip is in the c:windows folder. I have run a system file checker and it appears that the Setupx.dll file is corrupt, I don’t know what to do to correct this.

Hope this is all right?

[guestolo]

Let's run some tools on your computer to ensure you are clean

Can you do the following please

==Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies, etc...
Windows Cleanup
Give the link time to load or try it twice, it may be busy
Alternate Download link
We'll need this later

Please Print this out or save these instructions to a Notepad file and save it to your Desktop
RESTART your Computer in SAFE MODE
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

In safe mode, find and delete these files if they exist
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MMTTGLZZ.EXE <-file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WCFCW.DLL <-file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbn.exe <-file

Stay in safe mode

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

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {64AF335C-C21D-5DB0-8753-60550DA82D49} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WCFCW.DLL

O18 - Protocol: wavetop - (no CLSID) - (no file)


After you have ticked the above entries, close All other open windows,
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis

Afterwards

==Open Windows CleanUp!>>START>>programs>>Cleanup!
Click on the CleanUp button, let it finish scanning for files, when it's done

Restart back to Normal mode

We have to run some tools on your computer

Download and Install the free version of Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06

Also - I don't know if it is part of the same thing but when I try to access the cd drive i get the following error;

D:\ is not accessible. The device is not ready

I don't know if you can help with that but I thought I'd ask as you have been so helpful with this funny.exe problem.. Can't say enough thanks!
