Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

Please download and run Spybot-Search&Destroy and Ad-Aware; they are the standard programs for finding and cleaning malware off your system. Here are links to both programs, and instructions for their use.

Get Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de
(This is the NEW Version 1.3)
Get AdAware SE Personal from http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download
(This is the NEW Build 1.05)

Download and install these programs if you don't already have them. If you do have them, make sure they are UPDATED AND CONFIGURED AS DESCRIBED here:

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

Reboot after running each program.

When finished, "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread. :)

Thanks for responding. Have done scans with both SpyBot & AdAware.

Good job!

As expected, there's some manual removal to do.

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

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

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VBundleOuterDL] C:\Program Files\VBouncer\BundleOuter.EXE

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Narrator] C:\WINDOWS\uwpwau.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdtl] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\winupdtl.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [exp.exe] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\exp.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinTask driver] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\wintask.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Rase] C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\boln.exe

O4 - Startup: phkhgp.exe

O4 - Global Startup: Search.vbs

O16 - DPF: {41F17733-B041-4099-A042-B518BB6A408C} - http://a1540.g.akamai.net/7/1540/52/200207…meInstaller.exe

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://207.188.7.150/040ea3d6b6a194ea2301/…ip/RdxIE601.cab

O16 - DPF: {886DDE35-E955-11D0-A707-000000521958} - http://69.56.176.78/webplugin.cab

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\program files\vbouncer <— FOLDER

c:\windows\application data\boln.exe <— file

c:\windows\system\exp.exe <— file

c:\windows\system\wintask.exe <— file

c:\windows\system\winupdtl.exe <— file

c:\windows\uwpwau.exe <— file

Use windows explorer to find and delete:

search.vbs <— file

phkhgp.exe <— file

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. :)
Post #6
I was unable to locate the following even with showing all hidden files.

c:\program files\vbouncer <— FOLDER

c:\windows\system\exp.exe <— file


When I searched for the follow files, I came up with the following, both located in the Hijack This backup file…

search.vbs produced "backup-20041101-125103-649-search.vbs"

phkhgp.exe produced "backup-20041101-125103-816-phkhgp.exe"

I assume these are the correct files to delete but just wanted to double check. If these are the correct files, I will repeat the process and get them out.


Here's my latest log… Thanks!

Don't delete anything in the Hijack This! backup file.

If you can't find those original files, and they don't show up in the log, they aren't a threat. :)

A few new items have appeared… <_<

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

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

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [stcloader] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\stcloader.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoLoaderAproposClient] "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\CXTPLS_LOADER.EXE"

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\windows\system\stcloader.exe <— file

c:\windows\temp\cxtpls_loader.exe <— file

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. :)

OPTIONAL FIX

Uninstall "My Daily Horoscope", then reboot,

It is considered "adware".

No malware!!!! :thumbup:

GOD bless!!!

M68 :)

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.
