TopAntiSpyware please help!
« on: February 08, 2005, 04:47:09 PM »
My desktop wallpaper has been replace with a giant link to TopAntiSpyware and my homepage keeps getting reset to http://www.search-paga.com/10040/.  This evil intruder has even disabled my ability to open notepad files and I therefore I can't post a hijackthis log!

I ran CWS shredder, antivirus, Spybot Search and Destroy freezes upon attempting to remove the 18 items it finds.  Also, upon reboot I get 2 internet explorer prompts that read "tmpll.tmp and shmyga.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I don't know what to do. Please help! Thanks in advance

On my way out soon, but you didn't supply enough info

Without a Hijackthis log and can't see what operating system your running

Can you go to Start>>run>>>type in notepad

Does that bring notepad up?

Can you reboot into safe mode and run a scan with Hijackthis?

Do you want to post your own logs from FRST?

Thanks for the response.  I'm running Windows XP and even in safe mode it will not allow me to open a notepad file under any circumstances.  But here are some of the Hijack entries that look questionable. Man, having to type these out manually sucks!

I need more info than that

I just asked another poster the same question

Let me know if you see
Notepad.exe

In both these locations

C:\WINDOWS

and in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder

You may not see the .exe extension
unless you you
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.
   
    * Uncheck the Hide Extensions for known file types
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

You also have a few nasties in your services

Can you download the  free trial version of TDS-3
Download the trial version of tds-3 anti trojan from here:
http://www.diamondcs.com.au/tds/downloads/...s/tds3setup.exe
This is good for 30 days
Install it and Restart your computer when prompted
Don't run a scan yet

When your back in Windows it's important to update the latest RADIUS database

IMPORTANT>>>Right click the link below, select "save target as" or save link as
http://www.diamondcs.com.au/tds/radius.td3
Save it to the directory where you installed TDS-3
The default location should be
C:\Program Files\TDS3
Allow it to overwrite the previous radius.td3

If your unsure how to update it follow the instructions from this link
http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=update
Follow the Manual update procedure
Again, don't run a scan yet

Print this out or safe to a Notepad file for easy access

Restart  into Safe mode without Network connection
You can do this by tapping the F8 key as The system is booting up

Launch TDS-3. In the top bar of tds window click system testing> full systemscan.
Let it completely finish scanning---Even if it appears to hesitate at times
Detections will appear in the lower pane of tds window after the scan is finished ( it'll take a while ) Right click the list> select save as txt.>> save this to a convienent location, I'll need to see it later

After saving the scandump.txt go ahead and right click the list of alarms again, this time select delete...only delete those with POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION

Restart back to Normal mode
Post a fresh Hijackthis log and the scandump.txt from TDS-3

Also let me know if your still having Desktop problems

Ok here's an update.  After my last post, I got some pop-ups from AVG telling me it had found a few viruses and I went ahead and deleted them. But now when I reboot, my desktop is completely inactive.  No icons or folders, no task bar or start menu, nothing.  I can't even left or right click.  The only way I can open a program is by using control alt delete and opening a program manually.  Is there anyway to fix this??  I'd hate to have to buy a new hard drive and reinstall windows then transfer my files over!

Let's see what we can clean out
First>>
Go to START>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>System Restore
Create a Restore point
Name it and click Create
This is just to ensure you have a backup from this point on

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.

Hold up Alex, I was working on your log when you were posting

Can you bring up the TaskManager
In Task Manger click on FILE
NEW TASK(RUN)
in the box type in
explorer.exe
hit OK

Does that bring  back the desktop
If so, before following any of the above instructions
Please post back a fresh hijackthis log
Let me know what file AVG found and deleted

"Windows cannot find explorer.exe." is the prompt that I get.  I have no idea what files I deleted, but I can open AVG and list the trojans in the vault.  Should I follow the instrucions in your previous post or wait to solve the desktop issue first?

[quote name=\'Guest_Alex_*\' date=\'Feb 8 2005, 04:47 PM\']My desktop wallpaper has been replace with a giant link to TopAntiSpyware and my homepage keeps getting reset to http://www.search-paga.com/10040/.  This evil intruder has even disabled my ability to open notepad files and I therefore I can't post a hijackthis log!

I ran CWS shredder, antivirus, Spybot Search and Destroy freezes upon attempting to remove the 18 items it finds.  Also, upon reboot I get 2 internet explorer prompts that read "tmpll.tmp and shmyga.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I don't know what to do. Please help! Thanks in advance
