[sojo19]

SorryI left out a description of the problem so here it is : incessant winfixer popups and weird text screens appearing.
thanks again!

[Piatan]

Hi sojo19;

You'll want to print this, or copy and paste this text into a Notepad file and place it on your desktop, to review as you work, to reduce errors.

There are numerous pieces of Malware on your PC and each requires a fix of its own. Downloading and running the Programs suggested below will help us to clean your PC. There is a lot to do and there is no hurry, so take your time.

Please download CWShredder, from one of the following sites.
http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/onl.../cwshredder.exe
http://www.majorgeeks.com/CWShredder_d3019.html
http://intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

First, be sure to update CWShredder.
Then close every window, disconnect from Internet and doubleclick the CWShredder icon on your Desktop.
Click Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about.
Then, please reboot.

Next:
Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

• Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
• Click the Scan for Vundo button.
• Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
• You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
• Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
• When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
• Turn your computer back on.
  
  Next:
  
  Please install, update, then configure Ad-Aware SE to the following directions. If you already have Ad-Aware SE, be sure to first update it ,then configure it to do a full systems scan. Then run it and let it remove anything it asks about.
  Install and how to use Ad-aware SE

  Next:
  
  Please download LQfix.exe from one of the following locations:
  
  http://www.downloads.subratam.org/LQfix.exe
  http://miekiemoes.geekstogo.com/tools/LQfix.exe
  
  Save it to your desktop.
  [list]
• Double-Click LQfix.exe and click Next > Next > Install.
• Leave the default settings, if you change them, the fix will Fail!
• You need an active Internet connection, so make sure your connection is enabled.
• Now make sure the "Launch LQfix" box is checked.
• Click the Finish button, after clicking the Finish button the fix will start.
• Follow the on-screen prompts.
• Your system will reboot afterwards.
• Please be patient after the reboot, there is a script running in the background that needs to complete.

When the script has finished, please reboot.


Please download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Ewido trojan scanner:[list=1]
[*]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 will fix this in a moment.
[*]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"), click on the Scanner button in the left menu, then click on the Start button. This scan can take quite a while to run, so time to go get a drink and a snack....
[*]If ewido finds anything, it will pop up a notification. You can select "clean" and check the boxes "Perform action with all infections" and "Create encrypted backup" before clicking on OK.
[*]When the scan finishes, click on "Save Report". This will create a text file.
Please save the Ewido report, to be posted here later.

If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido.

Hi,
In case this helps, I now seem to be getting monsterplace pop-ups as well.
thanks again for your time.

Hi sojo19

It's okay. I didn't expect everything to get fixed yet. There's a lot of Malware to deal with. That's good work so far.

Please download CWShredder, from one of the following sites.
http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/onl.../cwshredder.exe
http://www.majorgeeks.com/CWShredder_d3019.html
http://intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

First, be sure to update CWShredder.
Then close every window, disconnect from Internet and doubleclick the CWShredder icon on your Desktop.
Click Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about.
Then, please reboot.

Next:
Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.[list]
[*]Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
[*]Click the Scan for Vundo button.
[*]Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
[*]You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
[*]Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
[*]When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.
[*]Turn your computer back on.

Next:
Please set your system to show
all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

Close all Windows leaving only HijackThis running.
Place a check against each of the following.:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = about:blank

Click on Fix Checked when finished.

Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.


Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders shown DARK and delete them:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\sms_msn40.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\sms_msn.exe


Reboot , enable hidden files and post a fresh Hijack This log in this topic along with the contents of C:\vundofix.txt.

Please use the Post Reply feature to reply, so I will be notified.

Hi sojo19

Thats good news about the 02 and 020 being gone. The new Vundofix seems to be working very well, except for the report, which leaves something to be desired.

Your Hijack This logfile looks to be clean. If your PC is running normally, with no problems to mention, it looks like we are almost finished.


One of the best features of Windows XP is the System Restore option, however if Malware infects a computer with this operating system the Malware can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is necessary after a virus removal.

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(winXP)

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Here are some tips, to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future, I strongly recommend installing the following applications:

• Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.
• Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  
  Download the new Ad-Aware SE version, and follow the instructions on how to do a full scan: http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showtopic=11150
  -reboot after using Ad-Aware SE. Also while there get the VX2 plugin and follow the instructions to run it also.
  
• How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.

To protect yourself further:

• MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
• Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.

I also suggest that you delete any files from "temp", "tmp" folders. In Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" => "Internet Options" => "Delete Files" and select the box that says "Delete All Offline Content" and click on "OK" twice. Also, empty the recycle bin by right clicking on it and selecting "Empty Recycle Bin". These steps should be done on a regular basis.

And also see TonyKlein's good advice
http://castlecops.com/postlite7736-.html
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Safe surfing.

[sojo19]

It looks like everything is running normallyand I have downloaded the additional protection suggested.
I did not understand your comment about the vundofix log as that itonly gives the the message "no files are found" after I run it.
Is this normal or is there a problem with the installation?
Otherwise, please accept my thanks and my donation to Tom Coyote!

[Piatan]

No problem. All that posted from the Vundo fix was the following.
