Post #1
My daughter's computer has a hijacked browser to 404ads.net. This is a bad link and so she can't get through to the internet. I just ran adaware SE plus 1.03, and a NAV scan before running hijack this. Here's the log. Hope you can help!

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\program files\ebates_moemoneymaker <— FOLDER

c:\program files\navisearch <— FOLDER

c:\program files\web offer <— FOLDER

c:\windows\cvjdgmgi.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\aantx.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\idctup20.exe <— file

c:\windows\system32\mmutilse.exe <— file

c:\windows\system32\msbe.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\mscb.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\nvms.dll <— file

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Copy the following quote box into Notepad:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{FB74C951-ACA1-4e33-A94C-A9261EB2CCB7}]


Save it to your desktop as "fixme.reg".

Double-click the "fixme.reg" file on the desktop. Say "yes" to the next prompt. Then you can delete the "fixme.reg" file.

This process is the only way to remove this:

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)

OPTIONAL FIX

Remove "My Daily Horoscope" - considered "adware"
Post #3
Here's the log after the fix. I almost have internet back - not being redirected to 404ads.net anymore. But not getting through to anywhere else, can't find server error. Should I run lspfix? There is something wrong with the connection…
Thanks for the help, I feel like I've made real progress.

I couldn't find some of the dll's to delete. Maybe my last adaware scan had removed them, but left the registry data. I ran it just BEFORE my first HJT scan. I looked at hidden files and even from the DOS prompt.

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

Run Hijack This!
Click "Scan".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O2 - BHO: NLS UrlCatcher Class - {AEECBFDA-12FA-4881-BDCE-8C3E1CE4B344} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvms.dll

O2 - BHO: CB UrlCatcher Class - {CE188402-6EE7-4022-8868-AB25173A3E14} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\mscb.dll

O2 - BHO: ADP UrlCatcher Class - {F4E04583-354E-4076-BE7D-ED6A80FD66DA} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\msbe.dll

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\windows\system32\msbe.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\mscb.dll <— file

c:\windows\system32\nvms.dll <— file

All those DLL files should be deleted by Hijack This!

Just look and be sure.

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)

I couldn't get rid of the three dll's by hand. But the new build for adaware got rid of them and the registry entries too. I got the internet back, but I had to reset my TCP/IP settings. Something had reset some of the settings. Anyway thanks for all the help! Now if I can just keep this computer clean…for a while…even a short while. Thanks again DJ

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)
