My About:blank Hi-jack. Help Please

Hello ihateABOUT:BLANK,

You have a number of different malware infections the worst of which is about:blank. You are running several different programs which are not recommended as they come with adware installed and install all sorts of other things as well. I will suggest you uninstall them, but first we need to deal with about blank.

This particular variant installs an extra service in your services.msc and also deletes several legitimate files. We need to find the service first and then we can proceed with the fix.

The first thing I need you to do is download the file which will identify the service that has been installed from here:

Getservice.zip

Extract the file to the c:\ drive. Then navigate to the c:\getservices and double-click on the getservices.bat file. A notepad will open up. Please paste the contents of that notepad as a reply to this post.

Good Luck!

Thanks for helping me out! I followed your instructions and here is the results.

It appears we are in the home stretch


Step#1:

Now we need to see if we need to restore some deleted files:

• Download the Hoster from here. Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program. This will restore the original deleted Hosts file.
  
• This infection often deletes some system files that need to be replaced. The most frequent one it deletes is shell.dll in Win2K or XP. In XP there are two copies of this file, one is Windows (WINNT) and one in Windows\System32. It does not delete the ones in Windows\System so it does not affect Win9x/ME. If you find it missing please copy the shell.dll from c:\windows\system32\dllcache into both \Windows (WINNT) and Windows\System32 .
  
• The other system file which is most frequently deleted is control.exe. Please check to make sure that you have this file and if not Please check for the existence of this file by going to to Merijn's Files (sdhelper) and examine where the file should be for your operating system. If the file is missing then download the appropriate file and place it in the proper place according to this information. The control.exe is more often deleted in Win9x/ME.
  
• If you have Spybot S&D installed you will also need to replace one file. Go here: Merijn's Files (sdhelper) and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing you Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy). Then click Start > Run > regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDHelper.dll" and press the OK button

Step#2:

Run an online antivirus scan at:

http://housecall.antivirus.com/]Trend Micro Online AV

Reboot


Step#3:

1. Scan again with HijackThis

2. POST your log file to see if there is anything left to fix

I started to follow these instructions but did not find any Shell.dll file anywhere, not even in the DLLcache folder, what should i do?

Hi most of the windows files that this infection deletes, including shell.dll are at this Windows Files

I would check your hard drive to make sure that you have the following files and that they haven't been deleted:
* control.exe
* rundll32.exe
* wmplayer.exe
* msconfig.exe
* notepad.exe
* shell.dll
* SDHelper.dll

The instructions for installation in your OS, for each file are below on that web page that has the files on it.

Hope this Helps

Hi ihateABOUT:BLANK,

It looks like we just have a bit of cleanup to do and things should be back to normal. How is your computer behaving?


Step#1
You have Limeshop on your computer which is another adware variant. I suggest you go to Start > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs . Uninstall Limeshop/Limewire. You can find alternative programs here: Safe Programs


Step#2

1. Please Download the most recent version of CWShredder, from CWShredder.exe Download into it's own folder.

2. Check for Updates

3. CLOSE ALL WINDOWS except CWShredder

4. Run the program by clicking 'fix' and letting it fix all CWS remnants.

5. REBOOT to finish the removal and clear memory.



Step#3


1. Scan again with HijackThis (ALL WINDOWS CLOSED EXCEPT HJT)

2. Put a check mark beside each of the following entries in the HJT window

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LimeShop] C:\Program Files\LimeShop\LimeShoprun.exe /cp:p "C:\Program Files\LimeShop\System\Code" Main lp: "C:\Program Files\LimeShop"

3. Click 'fix checked'

4. REBOOT to finish removing the entries into SAFE MODE by tapping F8 repeatedly while booting up


5. DELETE the following files:

C:\Program Files\LimeShop\LimeShoprun.exe
C:\Program Files\LimeShop\System\Code

6. DELETE the following folder:

C:\Program Files\LimeShop


7. REBOOT into normal mode

8. please SCAN again with HJT and

9. POST a new log file here in this thread using 'Add Reply' to see if there is anything left to clean.

Hope This Helps

Hi
You will be unable to remove the xphidden file as it was merged into the system registry. If you want to hide you files again then go to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab and put a check mark in do not show hidden files and folders, hide protected operating system files and hide extensions for known files types


It is quite possible that you have the Blaster, Nachi or Welchia trojan. To remove this and several other trojans there is a tool which needs to be downloaded and run.

1. Please download Stinger and save it to your desktop

2. Double-click on the stinger.exe file and open the tool

3. Choose your entire hard drive to scan.

4. Choose Scan Now

5. Stinger will fix anything that it finds

6. Click the File menu and select Save report to file




Your HijackThis log appears to be clean, Congratulations!

There are a few things you should do now that you are completely clean:

1. Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files from the backup that Windows makes as no program is able to clean those files:
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*.

2. Another cleanup that will help is to go to Start>Programs>Acccessories>System Tools> Disk Cleanup and put a check mark beside all the entries in the disk cleanup window that ask you what you want to clean. Clean all hard drives and all files. This will get rid of any malware that is hiding in the temporary folders.

3. Make sure that all are gone, by checking the folders that the Temporary Internet Files and Temp files are stored in. To do so use Control Panel > Internet Options(or right click the IE icon on the desktop and choose Properties). Click Delete Files on the General Tab - place a check in the Delete all offline content box, then 'Clear History' and then press OK

4. Empty your Recycle Bin

5. You do not appear to have a firewall running and there are a few available for free that have excellent reputations:

Zone ALarm Free Firewall

Kerio Free Firewall

6. Microsoft has recently released SP2 which contains new critical updates for both Windows and Internet Explorer, last week. Please go to Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer Updates to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the cirtical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update
