Desktop is all black
« on: August 08, 2005, 06:19:30 PM »
Hopefully now that I am registered I can get some help here.  My desktop is disabled and there may be other problems I haven't found yet.  Here is my HJT log:

The first thing you should do before we try any fixes is install Service pack 1a
For Windows
Or chances are you will keep getting reinfected

Follow the link to install Sp1a and then post a fresh hijackthis log

I tried to update my computer but I get the error message:

[Error number: 0x800700B6]

I have tried to ask for help in correcting this problem before but the help on the Microsoft Community would fix one error and lead to another error.  What should I do?

Hey there,
   I'm no expert at reading logs or anything (just starting actually  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> ), yet I notice a glaring program that doesn't seem to belong - C:/WINSTALL.EXE I believe is some type of worm module virus. The fact that a funny named .exe file is just sitting in C: is suspicious. Get rid of that file with some type of removal utility. Other than that, I recommend a backup of essential files and a reformat. Hope this helps!

When installing, under "Additional Options" Uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We'll fix that later
From the main ewido screen, click on Update in the left menu, then click the Start update button.
After the update finishes (the status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful")
Close out Ewido for now, we'll need it later
If for some reason the Updater won't work can you manually download the

==Download the Killbox by Option^Explicit. Save to desktop or a folder

For each  file, put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot". Copy and paste each file into the file name box, then click the red button with the X after each. It will ask you if you want to reboot each time you click it, answer NO until after you've pasted the last file name, at which time you should answer Yes.
If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

Find and delete the following folder if it exists
C:\Program Files\crds <-folder

==Open Windows CleanUp!>>START>>programs>>Cleanup!
Click on the CleanUp button, let it finish scanning for files
DECLINE to Log off or Restart when scan is done.

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

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp_adb.../search/ie.html

Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
OK the prompt and exit Hijackthis

Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.
I'll need to see the smitfiles.txt log later

==Open Ewido Security Suite
Give it time to load
Click on the Scanner button on the left menu

Select "Scan Every File"
OK it and then click on the "Complete System Scan"
