Windows xp sp3 system. IE8 is the browser. When I open it an error message pops up:

Can't find file:///c:/program%20files/AOL%20Toolbar/welcome.html. Make sure path or internet address is correct.

After clicking OK, the browser opens and the error message appears again. Clear that, and hit the home button and the browser goes to home page and works fine from then on.

What do I need to do to fix this? I've already tried rolling back to IE7, no go. Installed IE8 again, no go. Uninstalled all AOL stuff, no go.

Attached is the attach.txt and also here is dds.txt and gmer.txt. I have problems with Gmer, pc would go nonresponsive or reboot after a while during the scan. So I've saved the initial scan log for you.

Hi,

Please do the following:

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

Open notepad and copy/paste the text inside the quotebox below into it:

DDS::
uInternet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555
uInternet Settings,ProxyOverride =


Save this as CFScript.txt

[external image: Posted Image]
  • Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.


    As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

  • Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

[external image: Posted Image]

  • Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now
Computer seems to run okay, just that annoying error message when opening IE8. Here is Combofix.txt:

Hi,

I can remove all the AOL leftovers that I see in the log along with the remaining malware:

If you ever want to use AOL again, you will need to do a fresh install:


Please do the following:

  • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before following the steps below.
  • They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
Copy/paste the text inside the Codebox below into notepad:

Here's how to do that:
Click Start > Run type Notepad click OK.
This will open an empty notepad file:

Copy all the text inside of the code box - Press Ctrl+C (or right click on the highlighted section and choose 'copy')

File::
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\AOL Companion.lnk
c:\windows\pss\AOL Companion.lnkCommon Startup

Folder::
c:\documents and settings\Ross Michael Esparza\Local Settings\Application Data\iqwpxcdob
c:\program files\Common Files\AOL
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL
c:\documents and settings\Ross Michael Esparza\Application Data\AOL

Registry::
[-HKLM\~\startupfolder\C:^Documents and Settings^All Users^Start Menu^Programs^Startup^AOL Companion.lnk]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\services]
"AOL TopSpeedMonitor"=-
"AOL ACS"=-
[HKLM\~\services\sharedaccess\parameters\firewallpolicy\standardprofile\AuthorizedApplications\List]
"c:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\AOL\\System Information\\sinf.exe"=-

DDS::
uInternet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555

Now paste the copied text into the open notepad - press CTRL+V (or right click and choose 'paste')

Save this file to your desktop, Save this as "CFScript"


Here's how to do that:

1.Click File;
2.Click Save As… Change the directory to your desktop;
3.Change the Save as type to "All Files";
4.Type in the file name: CFScript
5.Click Save …

[external image: Posted Image]
  • Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
  • ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
  • Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.

CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
Thanks for the help Catbyte. The owner has taken his pc back home for now and until I can get over there, I won't be able to perform your last instructions. Please give me 3 more days to get this done and if you don't here from me , please close this case. Thanks.
