Hi,

I have run spybot many times…it finds something everytime after start -up; however, popups keep appearing throughout the day. They seem to replicate themselves even after they have been deleted.

Here is my HiJack log……Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. :D

You have a few things going on in there so lets get started.

Step 1

Please download and run CWShredder. Make sure that all browser windows are closed with the exception of Cwshredder and choose FIX.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html

Scan with hijackthis and put a check beside these lines and choose FIX.

Delete the directory c:\spe

Click on START –> CONTROL PANNEL –> INTERNET OPTIONS —> DELETE FILES –> Put the check on DELETE ALL OFFLINE CONTENTS.
Next, DELETE COOKIES and then Clear Histories.

Then Reboot.

Step 2

Go to add/remove programs and look for and remove these if present.

Web Offer
TV Media

Step 3

You have a peper infection that we need to remove

http://www.memorywatcher.com/uninst.exe

When you run the uninstaller, you MUST have an internet connection active for it to work

This Peper removal tool only works if run twice. To complete each stage of the Peper removal you need to REBOOT to clear the peper infection each time you run the tool, or the infection will remain.

REBOOT

Step 4

Please download and run Spybot Search & Destroy and AdAware SE . Then follow the instructions in the links below to run.

Spybot Tutorial

AdAware Tutorial

Step 5

Please empty all you temp folders. DO NOT DELETE THE FOLDERS ONLY THE CONTENTS.
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\ CONTENTS
C:\Temp\ CONTENTS
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\ CONTENTS
Also delete your Temporary Internet Files Tools>InternetOptions delete all cookies, files as well as offline files. Also make sure that you clean out your recycle bin.

Reboot and post a new HiJackThis log. There will be more to remove in the next step mostly clean up ;)

:thumbup: Looking much better.

Please boot to safe mode (tap f8 while bios loads) then scan again with hijackthis and put a check beside these lines and choose FIX.

Then while still in safe mode delete these files(some may be gone because of hijackthis removal) you will need to show hidden files tutorial here >>> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/h…iddenfiles.mspx

C:\WINDOWS\System32\avicap32.exe<< C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\SC.exe<< C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\IKQ8m8OlJ.exe<< C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\Ci3kLqC.exe<< C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\BPgjto.exe<<\J.exe<< C:\PROGRA~1\Web Offer<< doscerpt.exe<< dmuadu.exe<< C:\Program Files\TV Media<<
Then reboot and post a new log. How is it running after the reboot?
Post #5
Thanks…..here is the latest HiJack Log after all deletions were completed in Safe Mode….

I did not find the SC.exe in the doc-settings\admin\localsettings\temp folder however, I did find this file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Should I delete it from there?

Thanks again for your timely help.

You can test the file to see if it is infected. In this link >>> http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus you can upload the file and it will generate a report on it. Post the log of that report please in your next post.

Is it this file name?

C:\WINDOWS\System32\SC.exe


Boot to safe mode again and scan with hijackthis and put a check beside these lines and choose FIX.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoUpdater] "C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate\AutoUpdate.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [5sFT35O] dmuadu.exe

Then while still in safe mode delete these files/folders


C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate<<
dmuadu.exe<<
Then I would like you to do a virus scan

Panda Online Scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/

Allow it to fix anything it finds.

Then reboot and post a new hijackthis log and the file scan report please.

Looks Good :thumbup: How is it running any issues?

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
  • Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

    See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

    Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources

  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

    For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

    Understanding and Using Firewalls

  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

  • Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers

  • Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer

  • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

    Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help. Safe surfing. ;)
