The operating system is Windows XP Pro w/ SP1
Hijackthis wont run, it does the same as the .bat file.
When I tried to run the file from Dougknox i got "Windows cannot open this file: File: xp_exe_fix.reg
To open this file Windows needs to know what program created it. etc...."

Housecall did not work
Panda's worked and found + repaired some viruses' but i still have the same problem

What did Panda find?
Did you keep not of the infections if any

Try one more Online Virus scan, then we can look in your folders for anything that was renamed
We can try a system restore from a command line, but try this first

Do a free Online AV scan at RAV's
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
When you access that link with Internet Explorer
click on the "To Continue without subsribing click here" link
It will load the activex and definition files

Ensure that all the top entries are checked
Autoclean--Inside Archives---Unpack Executables---Smart Scan
Then click the 'Scan my PC button'
Let it completely finish scanning
When it's complete, copy and paste the results back here

rundll32.exe missing
« Reply #33 on: December 06, 2004, 08:22:47 PM »
I'm uploading a file
Rundll32.exe

Save that file to your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder

Allow it to overwrite if prompted
That file is from an Windows XP SP2 machine

If you have trouble with the link, just right click on it and copy the shortcut and paste it in IE's address bar and hit GO

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries
Keep in mind that red.clientapps is red sheriff spyware

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/.../search/ie.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/...//www.yahoo.com

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/...//www.yahoo.com
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/.../search/ie.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/...//www.yahoo.com

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/customize/...//www.yahoo.com
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O16 - DPF: {B94B4225-E02E-4D3F-BADB-026F1E2F3AD7} (HttpDownloader Control) - file://C:\WINDOWS\SexDownloader.cab


After you have ticked the above entries, close down all other open windows, including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
YES and exit hijackthis

RESTART your computer

Is everything running better?
Post back with another Hijackthis log

If .exe's are still not opening properly

Try download this registry fix
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_exe_fix.zip

Save it and UNZIP it to your desktop
Double click on xp_exe_fix.reg  and Allow it to merge to the registry

EDIT>>Getting this fix confused with another user in this thread
Try downloading rundll32.exe and do the fixes I suggested and post back a fresh hijackthis log after a restart

Forgot to add
Can you also set Windows to Show Hidden Files and folders
* Click Start.
    * 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.
    * Uncheck the Hide Extensions for known file types
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

Restart your computer into Safe mode
You can do this by tapping the F8 key on the keyboard and when the computer is booting up

Navigate to and delete this file if found
C:\Documents and Settings\Fam\Application Data\hsap.exe <--file

Also navigate to these folders
Delete the WHOLE contents, including subfolders, DON'T delete the Temp folders themselves
# C:\Windows\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\

Look for the other file found bad by Rav's and delete it

Restart back into Normal mode
