Can I get rid of these? ("Cletus" and "Macca" were other users on the dorm network):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Auto EPSON Stylus C45 Series on MACCA] C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\E_S4I3T1.EXE /P37 "Auto EPSON Stylus C45 Series on MACCA" /O16 "\\MACCA\Printer7" /M "Stylus C45"

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Auto EPSON Stylus C45 Series on CLEATUS] C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\E_S4I3T1.EXE /P39 "Auto EPSON Stylus C45 Series on CLEATUS" /O18 "\\CLEATUS\Printer3" /M "Stylus C45"

Yes. Also run another ewido scan in safe mode

Ewido --> no infected objects found.

What now?

Anti-virus continues to not update, but it is working again.

[LDTate]

Anti-virus continues to not update, but it is working again.

I don't know why it doesn't work. Can you uninstall it and then reinstall?


Unless you have a Epson printer, fix these.
I suggest you do this:

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

My printer is an Epsom. PC-cillin has just picked up the same WORM_SDBOT.BUY virus again... Infected file is C:\WINDOWS\System32\msconfig32.exe I had a look at the PC-cillin webpage and I think the reason that I can't get updates because its EOL is Dec 2005, although it is a month early...: "The End of Life (EOL) for PC-cillin 2002 global support is December 2005. EOL covers physical shipment, email/phone support, and pattern/engine updates." I didn't think to check that before. I will post a HJT log in a few minutes because HJT is scanning then freezing.

[Prolatariat_]

I scanned again with Ewido, but it didn't pick anything up.

It has started freezing and doing the really slow shutdowns again.


Here is the latest HJT log:

[Prolatariat_]

How do I unhide all files and folders? I can't remember how to do that.

[LDTate]

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

[Prolatariat_]

The batch is run from -- C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\remv3 Files Found................. ---------------------------------------- Files Not deleted................. ---------------------------------------- Merging registry entries ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Registry Entries Found... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Other bad files to be Manually deleted.. Please note that this might also list legit Files, be careful while deleting ----------------------------------------------------------------- Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 783D-28DE Directory of C:\WINDOWS\system32 msi.dll Finished

[LDTate]

Lets see if msconfig32.exe is in the registry.

Backup your Registry...
- Press "CTRL - ALT - DEL" keys all at the same time to start "Task Manager"
- In the Task Manager window click on "File", then from the drop-down menu select "New Task (Run...)"
- In the "Create New Task" window enter\type "regedit" (without quotes)
- Once Regedit opens click on the FILE menu and select Export
- Save the file as backup. Save the file somewhere you will remember and not delete.
IMPORTANT: make sure to set the export range to ALL



click Start>Run and type regedit tap enter key.


Regedit will open. Make sure My Computer is highlighted. At the top of the window click edit> Find> then copy and paste the following into the window.

msconfig32.exe

Then click find now.
When you find the entry right click on it and select delete, answer ok at the prompt.
Next, press "F3" to continue searching, if another instance is found, repeat the above steps, until you see the "completed searching" message.

[Prolatariat_]

It didn't find anything.

[LDTate]

Can you still boot in normal mode? If so, post a new HJT log in normal mode.

[Prolatariat_]

Yep.

- Save the file as backup. Save the file somewhere you will remember and not delete.
IMPORTANT: make sure to set the export range to ALL



I recommend you download RegSeeker. Extract it to it's own folder, open and double click RegSeeker.exe to start the program. Maximize the window and click clean registry. Check all sections and click OK. When the scan is complete, verify the backup box in lower left corner is checked and click the select all button, then select all again. Then right click within the search results and select delete. Run it again and again, deleting everything it finds until it finds nothing. Reboot and make sure your programs are working properly, control panel and add/remove programs windows open, etc (basically just do a quick check of everything). In the event anything was 'broken', you can open RegSeeker, click backups and double click any/all files to put the information back. A reboot may be required for the effects to be seen. Reboot When done.

I ran RegSeeker and deleted 421 items. My programs all seem to be working fine.
