Do I enable all start-up programs for Hjt scan?

[smallclaimshammer]

There are 12 startup programs that I have shutoff ..WinTool,Internet optimizer, tgcmdprovidersbc, etc....should all be enabled in msconfig before i scan ?  I ran Spybot, Ad-Aware SE, CWshredder, and only 4 of 20 items have been removed.  Each time their scan is interupted by EXPLORER has preformed Illegal operation, or Rundll32 illegal operation and system freezes up.  I ran Mwav.exe  and at 3.5 hours later and 13,400 files scanned it shut down ...error messages began to scrolll in top box at high rate.  Just before it's high speed error run, it was in WIN98 files, scanning,and  the count was 17 viruses (lost screen with details) and 41 errors.....  I stopped the program . Ctrl+Alt+delete showed Rundll32 program running . I need to do the Hjt log, but I'm worried about reenabling all the programs i have shut off.  Please give me your best advice , it will be greatly appreciated.

Hi again smallclaimshammer

Can you do this for me please
I'll assume I won't see the results from the MWav scan from eScan

If you could, maybe later we could look at those
We'll see if we need it

The best thing you could do is ensure that Spybot and Ad-Aware are fully updated
With Ad-Aware>>Click the
check for updates now link and Connect to download the latest updates
Don't run a scan yet

Spybot>>Click the Update button on the left, in the window on the right click the
SEARCH FOR UPDATES button, Check and download all updates
Don't run a scan yet

Restart your computer into
Safe mode

Open Ad-Aware
Perform a Full system scan--"Uncheck Search for Negligible Risk Entries" before scanning
When it's finished scanning
At this point you should either right click on the screen and and choose the "Select All" Objects option or individually put a checkmark in each objects checkbox
click on the Next button. Ad-Aware SE will now present you with a confirmation box as to whether or not you would like to remove the objects you have just selected. Press the "OK" button

RESTART your computer back to SAFE MODE to  finish the cleaning process

Back in safe mode
Open Spybot
In the right window, click the
Check for Problems Let it complete it's scanning---Ensure to check and FIX everything in RED---they should be checked by default
RESTART your computer back to Normal mode to finish the Cleaning process

When your back in Normal mode
Go back to MSCONFIG
Enable everything so that we don't miss anything
If it prompts you too Restart, don't at this time

I'll give you the instructions for Hijackthis
Important: Create a Permanent folder for Hijackthis
Double Click "MY Computer"
Open your C: drive
Click "File" >>> "New" >>>> "Folder"
A new folder will be created, name it HJT

Now you will have C:\HJT

Download Hijackthis from CLICK HERE or CLICK HERE
Save it to that new folder

Do a SCAN and Save a Log file---Save the log----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log  here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important

To copy and paste the whole log
Click EDIT>>Select All
Right click and choose COPY

Come back here and in your reply box back to me
Right click in the Reply box and choose Paste

Unfortunately I probably won't see your log until tomorrow
But we'll get you running clean again  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

If you don't have to shut down your computer, just leave it running
If  you were able to save any of the log from eScan, go ahead and post it
If not, don't worry about it

smilieD Hello, guestolo,  Thanks for the instructions and help on this post. I'll just summarize what I did breifly. The download of HijackThis went to Desktop, not the Hjt file I set up. The Firefox browser I am now using is set that way . I moved the file from DT to Hjt, with shortcut to Hjt on DT.  I did all updates to Spybot and Ad-Aware.  Ran Ad-Aware first, in Safe Mode.. during the scan ERROR Explorer Illegal , and Rundll32 Illegal boxes appeared, Ad-Aware was still running scan... I waited till it was through then closed the boxes, and did repair to all... It found: 27 entries.. 6CWS, 9 Alexa, 5 Hijacker, 1 Surfsidekick, 6 Redirect to69.20.16.183.  Quarantined all.  The Deleting selection box showed it had loaded all the way across..but stopped on screen at that point. No other prompt appeared.  I rebooted, safe mode, did Spybot  scan . It found  8 entries...6 CWS, 1 IGetNet, 1 common hijacker .  All were prechecked,except Common hijacker. I did repair ...Only three showed done. CWS bootconf, CWS loadbat, IGetNet.   I rebooted  to safe mode, rescanned Spybot, and only IGetNet, and Common hijacker appeared. I repaired both...error in Fix Problem : [Datei C:\Windows\HostsKann nicht geoffnetwerden  (not exact, maybe)  appeared.  I closed the error, and IGetNet was repaired.  Then rebooted to normal.  Went to msconfig, enabled all, did not reboot as prompted, ran HijackThis exactly as outlined. Saved log .     When i went to get on line...DSL was connecting, but Firefox browser would not connect,  the page looked different, but I tried all known connects, and settings....I had to reboot.      You wanted it left on and NO reboot.  I was just now able to get back on line...even with all programs started up.    Please see the attached Hjt log, let me know if I need to start over on this process....since it did not go as per your detailed instructions.           ...........Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.0

[guestolo]

I just want to check on a couple things
Your Winsock layers have been Hijacked that's probably the first reason why you got booted offline

Can you open Spybot
Click Mode at the Top>>Advanced Mode>>Ok the prompt
Click Tools>>Uninstall Info

You should now see a list of programs
Can you right click an empty spot in the list and select EXPORT
In the "Save In" drop down bar at the top save it to DESKTOP
Then click the SAVE button
Close out Spybot

Can you open that new Spybot S&D Report.txt on the desktop and Copy and paste it back here, thanks

Could you also download LSPfix.zip from this link
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
UNZIP the contents to your desktop
Open LSPfix.exe
Let me know what you see on the KEEP side, also let me know what you see on the REMOVE side, thanks

[guestolo]

Hi again smallclaimshammer
I pm'ed you
If you added any more Anti-spyware tools or Security programs to your computer
Can you supply me with a fresh hijackthis log, thanks

If not can you carry on with these instructions

Whenever I see the Winsock layers hijacked I like to ensure that the user backups the registry

Let's do it manually
Go to START>>RUN>>type in regedit
Hit OK
In the Reg. Editor>>>Ensure "My Computer" is highlighted
Click "Registry" at the top
"Export Registry File"
In the new box>> Save in "MyDocuments"
File Name>>Give it a Name Backup  >>>Click SAVE
Let it finish saving and then Exit the Registry Editor

You may want to Print the rest of this out or Save it to a Notepad file on your desktop
for easy access

Disconnect completely from the Internet
Close down all Browser windows, including this one

Ensure that you unzipped LSP fix and your not running it from withing the Zip file
With ONLY LSP fix open
Check "I know what I'm doing".
Then select all instances of aklsp.dll (and nothing else) in the left pane,
click the arrow button to have them moved into the right hand panel.(The Removal Pane) Click Finish <--you may have to scroll down about to see it, Finish is NOT the X button at the top

Restart the computer into safe mode

Find and delete these files if they exist, send them to the recycle bin for now
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\aklsp.dll <--file
C:\WINDOWS\appsetup.exe <--file
C:\WINDOWS\d8.exe <--file
C:\WINDOWS\CXTPLS_LOADER.EXE <--file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\akcore.dl <--file
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\akupd.dll <--file
File C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\akrules.dll <--file
C:\30.exe <--file
C:\NULL

Stay in safe mode
Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:

R3 - URLSearchHook: {FD0B1A83-4F7C-11D5-BD9C-000103C116D5} - - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoLoaderAproposClient] "C:\WINDOWS\CXTPLS_LOADER.EXE" /HideUninstall /HideDir /PC= CP.AMS /ShowLegalNote=nonbranded

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

Hello, guestolo,      Hope you are doing well !   I ran regedit backup.   I ran Hijack This log  and saved it as Log 3, no repairs were done.  Did this to snapshot what was going on before I started on the newest list you gave me. Made sure all startups were enabled...shutdown.  To rerun ad-aware and Spybot  in Safe Mode. (My time on line ,since posting Hijack This ,had slowed toa crawl.}  Thought I'd just re-run what we had done before,and good thing...all  the CWS, IGETNET, Redirects, and common hijacker, were back.  When I went to do the shutdown to start.. it hung on windows shutting down.  Waited 15 minutes.. turned off computer to re start.  Let it load up normal...shutdown...rebooted to Safe Mode. Ran Ad-Aware, as it scanned , there appeared, error messages for Explorer, and Rundall32 illegal op. appeared, one behind the other. Cleared them, finished scan, repaired all. It showed Deleting Selection Bar as complete but would not go any further.  Shutdown  from there, rebooted OK , no hangup, back to SafeMode.  Ran Spybot, scan showed CWS in six items, IgetNet, Common Hijacker. Did repair....repair to only two showed, Cws Boot Conf,and Cws Load bat. Tried repair again..none repaired.   Shutdown...rebooted to Normal.  Ran Lspfix, removed aklsp.dll as told.  Results showed ...No Name space providers removed or renumbered.  7 Protocol provider ent. removed and 6 renumbered.    Restarted in Safe Mode.  Removed all you listed as next,  Except : CXTPLS_LOADER.EXE and akcore.dll.  No FILE found for either. Carefull search all areas, and typed right. None found.                   Stayed in Safe Mode...  Ran Hijack This.....Removed  as per your list : R3 URLSearchHook, and 04  HKLM LoadQM.   No listing for 04 HKLM [AutoLoaderAproposClient] was found.   Made sure all windows closed, FIXED those checked.      Restarted to NORMAL.    Created new file Hjt2 for Hijack This...new download....showed I had most recent updates when I tried to update....but it Replyed in the blink of a second.....I do not think I have it setup correctly to go out and get update... working from the Firefox browser.  Clicking on properties for Hjt2 shows modified date of 2-17-2005.    I did full scan ( with unchecked Negligible Risk) That post follows.   Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1

           I did not have any problem reconnecting to the internet, after the changes you listed.   I looked for and found advcheck.dll in Spybot folder, properties showed date modified as 10-4-2004.     Going from START > RUN> Find: All Files.... Looking for   Spybot  ...I found many entries, 14 in all.  I could not copy and paste , to show you the list , that was in Find results.      I had uninstalled my old file for Spybot on 2-14-05 using Spybot uninstall utility.  Then downloaded Spybot....Then downloaded updates....If I did not open them correctly ...did I mess up getting the updates into the Spybot main program?   My Firefox browser was set to Download to its download box... and then open all programs to Desktop.  Do I need to reconfigure that part of Firefox? What settings do you suggest ? Any suggestions are really appreciated by those who don't know what they are doing....have you noticed that about me?   Your help is appreciated, JRT

[guestolo]

Don't run away, I'm going to get a couple other tools to help identify what you may have

Don't run Ad-Aware or Spybot again until we get you clean

[smallclaimshammer]

I will be right here ...Thanks, JRT

[guestolo]

A few tools, all small downloads,

Download VX2 finder
http://downloads.subratam.org/VX2Finder9x(126).exe

Open VX2 finder
Click the "Click to Find VX2.BetterInternet"
then click the make log button.
Post the log

Also Click HERE to download DLLCompare.zip.

Unzip it to your desktop.

Now run DllCompare and click on the RunLocate.com button. It will scan for the hidden files. When it is finished, click on the Make a log of what was found button. When it asks to "View log file" click yes and the log will open in notepad. Save the log to copy and paste back here in your next reply

One last request
Please download FindIt.zip file from the bottom of this post.

Unzip the contents to a folder, then open that folder and double click on Find.bat. It will run for a minute, then produce a log (ignore any File not found messages on the screen, it should continue anyway). Please copy and paste that log here as well.
I've even heard this running up to 15 minutes
Give it time, but not too much...


Please also open the c:\Windows folder and see if there's a file there called Guard.tmp visible and report that here if there is or isn't

Also post back a fresh hijackthis log
I won't see these logs until tomorrow, from the time you post the last log
Don't restart your computer again until we try some fixes
Do what you can from the above, post back what you can, thanks

By the way, I'm feeling much better, thank you

I will not browse the NET...or restart at all till I hear from you.   My SBC DSL connection is dropping out every 25 to 45 minutes...I don't know why.  As I type this , I hear the hard drive tick...and see the activity light flash on the DSL modem ....like something is trying to download or connect.  Is that possible?   Talk to you later , guestolo....Thanks,JRT

[smallclaimshammer]

OOPS,    Forgot to say I will turn off the modem after this post....not computer...to keep any unwanted bugss from phoning home. JRT

Use the FILE>>Print selection

Restart the computer and use the F8 key as the computer is booting to bring you to the boot menu

Select "Command Prompt Only"
Hit Enter

You should now see
C:\>

At the prompt type in exactly as shown below in bold
Notice the space between (del and c)

del c:\windows\temp\*.*
Hit Enter
At the prompt to delete contents type Y and then hit Enter
Carry on with this command

del c:\windows\hosts (Hit Enter)

Now type in >> Notice space between (cd and c)
cd c:\windows\system
Hit Enter

You should be at a prompt that looks like the below
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>

Enter these at the prompt
Notice the single space after (del) and Hit Enter after each

guestolo,   I have a question about Typing the items to delete in BOLD.  I do not know how to do that when at the  Command Prompt.  Please explain....because   the first two.. temp and hosts deleted OK.   Next item , and all at C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM>   were typed as listed , but each time enter ...showed File Not Found.   I missed the bold, and it mattered...RIGHT???   Give me a shout  when you can....Thanks  JRT.     What kind of Dog is "Woof"?  Looks like a Golden Retiver.
