Spyware Removal
« on: April 25, 2005, 01:23:04 PM »
Hello,

I can no longer access my Desktop Tab under my Display settings in Control Panel.  Also, my Internet explorer default page keeps being changed to "about:blank".  There was a WP.bmp file in my c:\ directory, but I deleted it.  I displayed a error on mydesktop.  Finally, I can't access safe mode.

Please help.  This is very frustrating.  

My HiJackThis log is shown below.

Thanks.

Rombo

You seemed to have caught a couple different infections

I noticed your using a few different spyware removal tools
Can I first get you to do the following
If you didn't pay for SpywareVanisher, please uninstall it as it's bogus and we don't need it interfering with any fixes

Regfreeze>>I've never heard of before, I would uninstall it for now so it won't interfere with any fixes
Don't reinstall it if you didn't pay for it

I noticed SpyCatcher on your computer also
I don't use it and don't usually recommend it, but if you paid for GhostSurf it comes combined in the package I believe

We will get you free Spyware removal tools later with a good reputation
Let me know if you have Spybot 1.3 installed, It's reputable
I just want to know if you have it installed

After removing the above>>Excluding Spycatcher if you paid for it
Make sure you restart your computer

Post back and let me know which of the above you uninstalled

and post a fresh Hijackthis log

Also let me know why you can't start in Safe mode

OK.

I've uninstalled regfreeze. Spyware vanisher was only shown as a folder.  I could not uninstall it
via "remove software programs" in control panel.  Therefore, I deleted the file folder and its entry in the registry.

When I try to start my laptop in safe mode, the screen pauses for a few seconds and then a
blue screen quickly appears and disappears.  I was able to capture the following information for the windows stop error:

Stop: 0x0000000A (0xF8B1B354, 0x000000FF, 0x00000001, 0x80535689)

The computer would then reboot again.

I've also installed and run Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta.  

Here's my HiJackThis log.

It doesn't help that you can't start in safe mode, but please try the following
==From my signature below, download and save to desktop CWShredder.exe
Don't run it yet

==Download to desktop About:Buster.zip
by RubbeR Ducky
Unzip the contents to desktop, a folder will be placed on your desktop
Open it and run About:buster.exe
Click the Update Button and check for updates, if any, download them
Then close it for now, we'll need this later

Spyware Removal

I've done everything that you mentioned.

I still can’t modify my display properties for my desktop.  I only have two tabs, Screen Saver and Settings.  And now, I am starting to see many popups
when I open IE.  However, the About:Blank issue appears to have gone away.

See the following logs.

« Reply #5 on: April 28, 2005, 10:56:21 PM »
We got you a bit cleaner, but let's try and get the rest
This would be better in safe mode, but let's try it it normal for now

Can you do me a favor and create a fresh restore point, something to fall back on
Go to START>>All programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>System Restore
Create a new Restore point
Name it and click Create
Now we have a backup to this point

After that is done

==Download and Unzip to a folder fixdsply.zip so you now have fixdsply.reg in the same folder
[attachment=183:attachment]

====Download the Pocket Killbox
UNZIP it to a folder of your choice

Please save these instructions to a Notepad file and save it to your Desktop or a folder
Disconnect from the Internet, close out all browser windows including this one

Go to START>>>RUN>>>type in services.msc
Hit OK
In the next window, look on the right hand side for this service
name---- Network Security Service (NSS)

Double click on it--- STOP the service--If running
In the drop down menu, change the startup type to Disabled

Open Hijackthis>>Open misc Tools Sections>>Open "Delete an NT Service"
In the new window, copy and paste  in the blank field the following below in bold and hit OK
==============
11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I
==============

Access your add/remove programs via control panel and remove if found
Security IGuard
Virtual Maid
Search Maid
Viewpoint <-may be 2 instances, I would remove both

Don't restart yet, instead

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

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {60D46EF4-7903-4619-592B-50B7D96DEC2D} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\winkp.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
O23 - Service: Network Security Service (NSS) ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\sysik.exe (file missing)

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

Run About:Buster again, save the log afterwards

Double click on Cwserviceremove.reg and allow to merge to the registry
Double click on fixdsply.reg and also allow to merge to the registry

Run Pocket KillBox>>Now killbox and this notepad file is open
Click on Tools>>Delete Temp files

In the Full Path of File to Delete box, copy and paste the entire line directly below in bold, do not type this in

C:\wp.exe  

Select the radio button to
 Delete on Reboot
Click The Red circle and a white X
When prompted to Delete on Reboot, click YES
If prompted to Reboot Now, Click NO

Continue to copy and paste the next paths to the files below into killbox
Selecting Delete on Reboot after each

C:\wp.bmp
C:\Windows\sites.ini
C:\Windows\popuper.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wldr.dll
C:\Windows\System32\helper.exe
C:\Windows\System32\intmonp.exe
C:\Windows\System32\msmsgs.exe
C:\Windows\System32\ole32vbs.exe
C:\Windows\system32\msole32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\sysik.exe

When you've entered the last file
Allow the computer to Reboot
or Restart the computer anyways
Don't worry about any file not found or error messages with Killbox

Back in Windows
Look for these folders and delete them if found
C:\Program Files\Search Maid <-folder
C:\Program Files\Virtual Maid
C:\Windows\System32\Log Files
C:\Program Files\Security IGuard

Post back a fresh Hijackthis log and the log from About:Buster
