This is a worm:

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [$WindowsRegKey%update] IEXPLORE.EXE

WORM_SDBOT.ML

This is an unknown malware item:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Internet Explore Updates] ebq.exe

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.

When finished, post a new log file in this thread.

Please download the latest version of Hijack This!

Links to Hijack This! v 1.98.2:

http://tools.radiosplace.com/HijackThis.exe
http://spywarewarrior.com/files/HijackThis.exe

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: [$WindowsRegKey%update] IEXPLORE.EXE

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ati control panel] atiphexx.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Internet Explore Updates] ebq.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [ati control panel] atiphexx.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Internet Explore Updates] ebq.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ati control panel] atiphexx.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [$WindowsRegKey%update] IEXPLORE.EXE

Then click "Fix checked".

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Find and delete:

atiphexx.exe <— file

ebq.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. :)

Also, please search for all instances of:

iexplore.exe <— file

You have a malware copy of it somewhere.

Please post where found. Will advise on removal.

If you haven't done the online virus scans, I still advise running them.

Log looks good. :thumbup:

GOD bless!!!

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.
