Hi,

I've got Spybot Search & Destroy, Aluria Spyware Eliminator and Spyblaster, but I've still managed to get a horrible ad from Stopguard that keeps taking over my browser and significantly slowing down my internet surfing. I've run all three programs and checked for recent updates, but nothing works. Please give guidance, however I should warn you that I've NEVER edited my registry before and I am a little wary.

Thanks!

Reboot in "safe" mode. Use the link in my signature to tell you how if necessary.

Find and delete:

c:\docume~1\kkg\locals~1\temp\smwyalp.dat <— file

c:\docume~1\kkg\locals~1\temp\tb_setup.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden". Use the link in my signature to explain how to show "hidden" files if necessary.

Reboot in normal mode and post a new log file. :)

Micah,

I was able to complete everything except deleting the tb_setup.exe file while in the Safe mode. I just couldn't find the file despite a lot of looking. So, I rebooted in Normal mode, reran Hijack This and here's the output. How did I do?

I apologize for letting your log slip by. :oops:

There were some entries in there I needed some input on, and I didn't want to "fix" anything that was wrong.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This! and fix these items:

O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {3EC8E271-FAB9-418a-8A8E-65AEB4029E64} - C:\DOCUME~1\KKG\LOCALS~1\Temp\smwyalp.dat (file missing)

O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {F32F8ECD-6CF3-459D-82F2-9738392C85A8} - C:\DOCUME~1\KKG\LOCALS~1\Temp\smwyalp.dat (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [playwms] C:\WINDOWS\inf\playwms.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*playwms] C:\WINDOWS\inf\playwms.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*vssras] C:\WINDOWS\repair\vssras.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*vssras] C:\WINDOWS\repair\vssras.exe rerun


Reboot in "safe" mode. Use the link in my signature to tell you how if necessary.

Find and delete:

c:\docume~1\kkg\locals~1\temp\sarssv.dat <— file

c:\windows\inf\playwms.exe <— file

c:\windows\repair\vssras.exe <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden". Use the link in my signature to explain how to show "hidden" files if necessary.

Reboot in normal mode and post a new log file. :)

HI Micah,

Well I had some success and some problems again. I suscessfully removed the smwyalp.dat files after running Hijack This again. In addition, I marked for Hijack This to remove the other files per your instructions (i.e., the vssras and the playwms files).

Just FYI, I couldn't find the playwms files anymore, so I won't discuss them anymore in this posting. :scratch:

Then I went into SAFEMODE. Since I have Windows XP, I used the msconfig option vs. the F8 start-up option. I made sure all of my hidden files were showing and then attempted to delete the sarssv.dat and vssras.exe files. I successfully deleted the sarssv.dat file, but when I tried to delete the vssras.exe file I got an error message. It said, "Access denied. File either write protected or in use." I tried a few times and then rebooted in Normal mode and reran Hijack This. Here's what it looks like:

Please push these three keys at the same time:



(The task manager appears on the screen).

Click on the "Processes" tab, then click on "Image name" to sort the tasks alphabetically.

Find all instances of these in the list of running processes:

vbplay.exe
vssras.exe
yalpbv.dat

Click them to highlight them, then click "End process". Do this for all instances of those malware files found in the "Running processes".

Close the task manager.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This! and fix these items:

O2 - BHO: CATLEvents Object - {77849D67-5672-4B68-93E2-CCEFF1E3949E} - C:\DOCUME~1\KKG\LOCALS~1\Temp\yalpbv.dat

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [*vbplay] C:\WINDOWS\addins\vbplay.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*vbplay] C:\WINDOWS\addins\vbplay.exe rerun


Reboot in "safe" mode. Use the link in my signature to tell you how if necessary.

Find and delete:

c:\documents and settings\kkg\local settings\temp <— Delete ALL files in this FOLDER

c:\windows\addins\vbplay.exe <— file

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Ladies and Gentlemen.. We have another winner!!! ;)

:rofl:

I did a little more "homework" on the subject. I think cleaning the "temp" folder was the "cure".

The log looks good!!!! :thumbup:

GOD bless!!!

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?" here:

http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957

Download IE-Spyad here:

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings here:

http://browsercheck.qualys.com/index.php

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.
(Personally, I'm NOT recommending SP2 for XP at this time)
