 Hello! Just delete the notepad.COM in your windows/system232 directory. I had the same problem (not being able to view the HTML sourcecode anymore, for example) and found help in a German web forum. When I deleted the notepad.COM (not the notepad.EXE, of course), everything is right again.

Hope I have helped, Jan, Dortmund, Germany

[samverner]

of course I meant windows/system32 !

[J. jefferies]

how do I get to the windows/system32 directory?

[J. Jefferies]

Nevermind, I find out how to access the C:\WINDOWS\System32 Windows registry.  

However, I don't have the notepad.COM file in the registry.   Any other suggestions?

[JG]

You have several things to fix with hijackthis, but first move hijackthis.exe out of the temp file and create a new folder to put it in.


Fix with hijackthis:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
F1 - win.ini: run=C:\WINDOWS\System32\services\services.exe

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4BCF322B-9621-4e90-9678-F1424EB7584E} - C:\WINDOWS\udpmod.dll

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5321E378-FFAD-4999-8C62-03CA8155F0B3} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {BEB133E5-FD72-43b7-8AFF-681831CC72D9} - C:\WINDOWS\wiesasp2.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E3215F20-3212-11D6-9F8B-00D0B743919D} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [xpsystem] C:\WINDOWS\System32\services\services.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [xpsystem] C:\WINDOWS\System32\services\services.exe

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

after you fix these, reboot and delete this file:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\services\services.exe

To find this file, right click on start, choose "explore", windows explorer should open.  
On the left is the directory tree, scroll down near the bottom to C:\Windows and double click "Windows" , it will open on the right. Locate a folder called System32 and open it. There should be a folder called "services" with services.exe inside. Delete the "services" folder, it should not be there.

Check the address bar to be sure you are at the right location before deleting. There is a services.exe at C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe, do not delete this one

If you are unable to see the windows folders then click tools>folder options>view and choose "show hidden files and folders" > apply > ok

run a new hijackthis log and post it

[Guest]

I fixed everything that I could (I couldn't find two of the files).  Here is the new Hijackthis post

I don't see anything remaining, at least that I recognize. Did you get rid of the popups?


Which files did you not find?  If it's C:\WINDOWS\System32\services\services.exe it's no longer running after deleting the run keys.

I would still run a search for it in explorer.
right click start>explore all users, click the search icon and paste in the search box:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\services\services.exe

If you find it check the full file path in the address bar to make sure it's the right one and delete the part in bold

[Velg]

I have exactly the same pb and no other tech forum could help me, perhaps will you...

Here is my log :/

the o/p with hijackthis.exe,   please help

[they got me]

i don't really care about being hijacked anymore... i just want to know where these people live so i can put parasites underneath their eyelids, and in other places i won't mention here.

i just got the casino bug, and already removed the myexex thing that someone else posted above.  i also noticed that norton antivirus (symantec) removed one of those password/keystroke recorders about two weeks ago.  my problems stated around that time.  

basically, my approach is going to be to reinstall windows, and be much more careful about sites i visit in the future.  that seems to be the only option until IE gets fixed.  i may even consider using a non-IE browser.  too bad because IE is easy to use, but people with bad intentions are making the world a harder place to business in.

[ajl]

I also have a problem with this darn casinopalazzo mess.  I've been at this for days and would appreciate some advice for what to do with the HijackTHis logfile below.

Thank you

[douglasray]

As of two days ago, I too have the same problem with the casinopalazzo popup.
I do not have notepad.com on my system (win98) either. I deleted Cookies and still the popup remains (although I can no longer access several important websites!) I then ran Spybot and deleted the "real threats," but this did not get rid of casinopalazzo. I would appreciate any suggetions.

[Guest_Darren]

I noticed in a couple of the logs there's a process running...

LVCOMSX.EXE

This is a virus.  Google it and you'll see.  This may be reinstalling the spyware after each attempt to clean it.

The best thing to do is run antivirus scan, adware/spyware scan, hijack this, but also make sure you check each and every process running in task mgr and in services to see if there's a badguy in there because those background tasks and services will reinstall crap every chance they get... and worse.

Hope that helps

[George Landers]

[quote name=\'J. Jefferies\' date=\'May 26 2004, 08:18 PM\']I've tried everything to get rid of casinopalazzo.com popups.  Each time it pops up, the site leaves a desktop icon on my computer with names such as "sex," "XXX hardcore," etc.  Also I keep getting coolsearch.com popups. Can you help me please

 Try this it seams to work so far.
Start>Run>Type in Regedit>click OK>At the top of window click EDIT>
Click FIND>Type this in>www.casinopalazzo>Click find next>NOTE make sure My Computer is High Lighted before you click FIND NEXT. Windows searchers the Resistry from the High Lighted Point--so if anything else is high lighted other than My Computer thats where the search will begin. WARNING be dam careful when you do any editing in the Resistry. DONOT delete the folder, delete whats in the folder. If you find one delete it>Then click EDIT>Then Click FIND NEXT until Windows tells you it has search though the resistry and found no more.

Also, do a FIND for these files
1. casinopalazzo--without the WWW.
2. nhlgba
3. DC431
4. spywarenuker.com
5. vn.msie.tv

Also do a windows search for these files.
1. nhlgba.dll
2. DC431.dll
3. spywarenuker
4. vn.msie.tv

I hope this is help to you, good luck.

 This is what i believe is happening with www.casinopalazzo.com bug.
1. The person who started www.spywarenuker.com sent out the bug Casinopalazzo to infect everyones computer.
2. Then Spywarenuker pops up one of their adds to buy their software to remove the add they put on your computer in the first place. This is computer telemarketing. Ever since i had the casinopalazzo bug on my cp i also had spywarenuker. DONOT buy this software.

If you need Spyware Remover Software goto these web sites.
1. www.Download.com
2. ZDnet.com
You can get all the software you want for free.

Good Luck

hello there:
I also have the same prob for the past 2 days. Downloaded Spyware, Adware, HijackThis and Spybot to figure out to
fix this casinopalazzo.com..but can't...this page pops up when when I open my IE (which has automatically been set to C:\WINDOWS\system32\IEsp.mht).
When I try to change it to blank or other homepage..it wouldn't, and also tried deleting the file....\system32/IEsp.mht, but it re-appears.
I cannot find out what is causing to generate IEsp.mht.

I cannot find any .../system32/services/services.exe to delete. Please advise: here is my HijackThis log:

A simple cure for Casinopalazzo. It kept knocking me off line and I had to spend 5 minutes reconnecting to my Internet provider, but the CP bug appears every 8 to 10 minutes so I had an 8 minute 'window' for downloads. Sorry for being wordy but this is what I downloaded and the order in which I ran them. I got the latest version of Ad-Aware 6.181. It loaded over my older version (6.162) and found 32 bugs my older version didn't recognise.
Google.com then type CWShredder. On dial up it's a 2 minute load. Then Google again and get Hijackthis. Run Ad-Aware first. It will miss the CP bug but it really speeds up your CPU so it can handle the evasive manuvers of the bug. It replicates itself as you are deleting it.
Then run the CWShredder. Let it kill the 80 or so file paths it finds. Then run Hijackthis. It will warn you that some files it found are needed for legitimate programs. Of the 30 or so names it found I UNclicked 4 near the bottom of the page. They had to do with word processing and faxing so I left them alone. All the files it deleted went into my Norton Protected Bin so later, if I need a deleted file I can unerase. I won't empty the Norton Bin for a few months just to make sure I haven't deleted a neccessary file unrelated to the CP bug.
Ad-Aware...CWShredder...Hijackthis, in that order. I played Freecell for an hour with no Pop-Up, then I spent an hour in my favorite chatroom; no Pop-Up.
Sometimes the 'simple cure' works best, especially for non-techy people like me.
Best of luck,
James

I run on Win 98.
