Post #3
I have been troubled by unwanted sites taking over my home page whenever I open it. To try to rid myself of this problem, I have:

Updated from the latest critical updates from Microsoft.
Updated my ZoneAlarm firewall.
Ran a full scan with an updated Norton AV program.
Ran a Trend Micro scan.
Ran an updated Spy Sweeper scan.
Ran an updated AdAware scan.
Ran an updated Spybot SD (ver. 1.3) scan.

Although these scans have eliminated a number of spyware programs,
My IE browser is still being attacked by a number of unwanted web sites.

I have included below, the latest copy of a HihgjackThis log from my computer.
Can someone help me with this problem ? Thank You !

Hello,

You have HijackThis.exe on your Desktop. It needs to be in a folder. Please right click on a blank space on the Desktop, select "new," then "folder." Name the new folder HJT, HijackThis or something similar. Then, use "cut" and "paste" to move HijackThis.exe into its new folder.

Please print a copy of these instructions because you will be working in Safe Mode and/or with all windows closed except HijackThis.

Please run HijackThis in Safe Mode by holding down the CTRL key as your system reboots. Then, select Safe Mode from the options offered…

Also, enable the ”Show Hidden Files and Folders” option:

Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck: Hide file extensions for known file types
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Apply to confirm.
Click OK.

Place a check mark next to the following items then, WITH ALL OTHER WINDOWS CLOSED, select “fix checked.”

Now, search for, and delete if found, (some files may not be present after previous steps) the following file:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\AChkr.exe

Please delete your temporary files by deleting all files and folders that are in those folders (do not delete the temp folder itself) like for example:

C:\WINDOWS\Temp\

C:\Temp\

Also delete your Temporary Internet Files, be sure to also select "delete all offline content."

Empty your Recycle Bin.

Reboot into normal mode.

If you are not running version 1.3 of Spybot S & D, click here to download Spybot Search & Destroy v1.3 - install, update, reboot into Safe Mode, scan and fix all RED checked items it finds. Reboot into normal mode when done.

Perform a custom Ad-aware scan in Safe Mode……..

If you do not have the latest version of Ad-aware SE Personal, Build 1.05, click here to download Ad-Aware and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Then boot into Safe Mode, start the program, and click the gear wheel at the top and check these options to configure Ad-aware for a customized scan:

Under "General Settings" all available options should be selected.

Click the "Scanning" button.
Under "Drives, Folders and Files," select "Scan within Archives".
Click "Drives and folders to scan" and select your installed hard drives.
Under "Memory & Registry," select all options.

Click the "Advanced" button.
Under "Logfile detail level," select all options.

Click the "Defaults" button.
Under "Default IE Pages" set the "Default homepage" and "Default search page" to what you want them to be; otherwise, Ad-aware will reset them. Do not select the option to "Read current settings from system"… manually fill in the desired web address for each. (For instance, if you want Google as your search page, fill in www.google.com in the "Default search page" field).

Click the "Tweak" button.
Under "Scanning Engine," select the following:
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under "Cleaning Engine," select the following:
"Always try to unload modules before deletion."
"During removal unload Explorer and IE if necessary."
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Click on "Proceed" to save these Preferences.

Run the Ad-Aware scan, making sure that the mode selected is "Use custom scanning options."

When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next." The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?" Reboot into normal mode when finished.

Next, perform online virus scans using the links in my signature below. Allow the programs to delete all that they may find. Reboot after each scan.

Go here: http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/ and perform an online Trojan scan, allowing the program to delete all that it may find. Reboot when finished.

Click here to go to the Windows Update site. Download and install ALL critical updates.

Reboot when finished.

Scan with HijackThis and post a fresh log into this same thread.
Post #5
I have followed your instructions with the exception that I could not do a HighjackThis scan in the Safe Mode. So I did the scan in the normal mode. Here is the fresh scan after following your instructions.
Thanks,
John Reale

Hello,

Your log is clean now. :)

Everything is looking good, except that you are now running HijackThis from a temporary directory. Either follow my instructions above for creating a folder on the Desktop for HijackThis.exe or create a new folder on the C: drive and name it C:\HJT or something similar. 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 (or whatever name you've chosen). Then, use the "cut" and "paste" functions to move HijackThis.exe into the new permanent folder.

Here are some tips to help you keep your system clean in the future…

Download IE-SPYAD here: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm

It will place over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so that you don't accidentally visit innocent appearing sites that aren't really innocent.

There's also a small program, called RegistryProt that will warn you when a program attempts to make changes to your registry and will ask you if you want to allow the change. You'll find it here, under "freeware": http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=products

Scan often with Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-aware to remove malware before it gains a foothold on your computer.

Make sure you keep your system updated by frequent visits to the Windows Update site. Always install ALL critical updates.

Please take a minute or two to read the short article, "How did I get infected in the first place?" (See link in my signature below). You will find good information on keeping your system clean in the future, as well as links for excellent free anti-spyware tools.
