Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

You have a "Stopguard" infection. Please do not reboot until told to do so. Each reboot can make the infection harder to remove.

If you have rebooted since you posted the log, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS FIX. Instead post another log file and leave your machine on.

Download Killbox.zip

Extract it from the zip file then double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. In the 'Paste Full Path of File to Delete' box, copy and paste this entry:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\itnabv.dat

Don't click any of the buttons though, instead please click on the Action menu and choose "Delete on Reboot". In the window that opens up, click on the File menu and choose "Add File". The file should show up in the window. Then repeat the process, this time adding:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\lldcvs.dat

If that's successful you should have the two files listed. Then repeat so that these files appear in the list as well:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\itnabv.dat
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\siimoc.dat
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hostx.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\OOBE\REGERROR\vbanti.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Config\cmdvga.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system\svcdb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Registration\pspc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\repair\cplay.exe
C:\WINDOWS\msagent\iistcp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\svss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\svrnet.exe
C:\WINDOWS\inf\vssurl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\inf\svcdll.exe

When they are all there (and double check!), in the same window choose the Action menu and select "Process and Reboot". You'll be prompted to reboot, do so.

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

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

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\program files\common files\gmt <— FOLDER

c:\program files\date manager <— FOLDER

c:\windows\sysupd.exe <— file

Delete all files in this folder:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\temp <— FOLDER

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

Run Killbox.exe. In the 'Paste Full Path of File to Delete' box, copy and paste this entry:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\itnabv.dat

Don't click any of the buttons though, instead please click on the Action menu and choose "Delete on Reboot". In the window that opens up, click on the File menu and choose "Add File". The file should show up in the window. Then repeat the process, this time adding:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\lldcvs.dat

If that's successful you should have the two files listed. Then repeat so that these files appear in the list as well:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Lauren\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\siimoc.dat
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hostx.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\OOBE\REGERROR\vbanti.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Config\cmdvga.exe

C:\WINDOWS\msagent\iistcp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\svss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\svrnet.exe
C:\WINDOWS\inf\vssurl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\inf\svcdll.exe

When they are all there (and double check!), in the same window choose the Action menu and select "Process and Reboot". You'll be prompted to reboot, do so.

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

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

Great work!!! :thumbup:

The log is free of malware.

I'm not exactly sure how this particular infection is spread.

I can see your IE needs a few of the latest updates. That would help prevent infections.

You can check for windows/IE updates here.

Although I don't recommend SP2 for XP at this time.

Here are more things to consider to help prevent this.

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.
