Post #1
Have two teenage boys who go everywhere on the net. I am trying to clean my computer - use Spybot and Adaware rather successfully, but just noticed a file called keylog.txt on my winnt/system32 directory that has every keystroke of everyone's usage recorded.

I cannot use the task manager, it just appears for a second and shuts down. I also can't use regedit - does the same thing. Here's my log - and I hope one of you wizards can help me - I would sincerely appreciate it.

Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

Please try Spybot and Adaware one motre time, make sure they are UPDATED AND CONFIGURED AS DESCRIBED here:

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

Reboot after running each program.

Then, please try these free online virus scans of your system:

Trend-Micro Housecall

Panda Activescan

Etrust Security Advisor

Choose "fix" or "clean".

Let them remove any infections found. Reboot after each scan.

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
MOVE HijackThis into this folder.

If required a tutorial is here = Hijackthis Folder Tutorial

Make a new log file, and "copy/paste" it into this thread, and well take care of any malware that's left.

:)

We've still got some malware left to deal with.

You have a Peper Trojan.

Please download the Peper Uninstaller

You have to remain online to run it.

Run it, then reboot

Run it again, and reboot once more

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

Run Hijack This!
Click "Scan".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):
(The Peper uninstaller may have eliminated a few of these)

Unbelievable! No more keylog - and I can access task manager again! You can't believe the hours I've spent trying to fix this stuff. I can't say enough about how much you've helped me. Let me know if you see anything else that may have escaped my repair efforts.

Good work!!!! :thumbup:

You've eliminated all the known malware.

I will leave you with one "optional" fix.

Uninstall this program, then reboot:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINNT\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART

It is a known resource hog, and "peer to peer" sharing usually includes any available virii and trojans as well. In my opinion it's just not worth it.

If that is not in the list of programs to "uninstall", run Hijack This! and "fix" that entry. Then reboot and delete:

C:\WINNT\System32\P2P Networking <— FOLDER

I am glad we were able to assist you.

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.

Thanks so much - I hope I'm not overstaying my welcome, but it occured to me that my sons may have different HJT results than I have because they're set up as separate users on our Windows XP system. I logged in as one son, ran HJT, and the results look a little different than mine.

You probably should ask if anyone knows what these programs do:

c:\winnt\system32\chsxl.exe

c:\windows\buddypics.exe

phoadhlp.exe

If they know and trust these programs, leave them alone. Otherwise dispose of them as described below:

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

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

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://C:\WINNT\system32\SearchBar.htm

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [buddypics] C:\Windows\buddypics.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BLMessagingIntegration] C:\Program Files\Common Files\PSD Tools\blengine.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [aBrmRPeqj] phoadhlp.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Suwf] C:\WINNT\System32\chsxl.exe

O8 - Extra context menu item: &iSearch The Web - res://C:\WINNT\System32\toolbar.dll/SEARCH.HTML

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

c:\program files\common files\psd tools <— FOLDER

c:\winnt\system32\chsxl.exe <— file

C:\WINNT\system32\SearchBar.htm <— file

C:\WINNT\System32\toolbar.dll <— file

c:\windows\buddypics.exe <— file

phoadhlp.exe <— file
(use windows explorer to find)

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. :)
