Post #1
Last week my machine started to get inundated with popups. I ran Ad-aware, Spybot, Nortons antivirus, Panda, RAV, Microsoft beta and aol spyware scan. I got rid of most of the problem but I occasionally get a popup. It's very frustrating. I tried deleting the "btiein" registry entry through regedit, but it won't let me. I even found one entry "btiein1", which I was able to delete succesfully. I feel violated. Here is my HijackThis log, please help. Thank You in advance.

Hello mundo696, and welcome to the TomCoyote Forums. I will be helping you get your system cleaned up and protected. I am currently reviewing your HiJackThis log and will post back shortly. In the meantime, your copy of HijackThis should be moved into a permanent folder, and not on the desktop. HJT creates backups in case anything goes wrong and it is easier to retrieve them from a permanent folder if needed. 1. Please go to your 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'. NOTE: You can place HJT in a directory of your choice. As long as it has it's own folder and is NOT on the desktop or in a temp directory. 2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder. Thank you for your patience. Regards, Dave

Hello mundo696,

The first thing I would like you to do is upload this file to the link provided:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\xphex.dll<–file

To this link: http://virusscan.jotti.org/

And report back what it finds in your next post, along with your
new log.

Now for the fix:

We need to stop some processes from running so HJT can fix them.
Please open Task Manager with Ctrl-Alt-Del and END TASK on the following files:

C:\Documents and Settings\Edmundo.D1DLCB21\Application Data\otrb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\n?tdde.exe

Now you can run HiJackThis. Check the boxes next to these items:

O2 - BHO: REALBAR - {4E7BD74F-2B8D-469E-C0FF-FD60B590A87D} -
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\Real\Toolbar\realbar.dll

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Oel] C:\WINDOWS\system32\n?tdde.exe
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://bar.mywebsearch.com/menusearch.html?p=ZNxdm41432

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) -
http://207.188.7.150/266a7ad0d8ab8f429617/…ip/RdxIE601.cab

Now close all browser and explorer windows, and tell HijackThis to "Fix checked".

We need to make sure all hidden files are showing so please:
* Click Start.
* 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 the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.

Now boot the computer into safe mode:
*Restart the computer.
*As soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
*Use the arrow keys to select the Safe mode menu item
*Press Enter.

Using Windows Explorer delete the following files and folders if present:

C:\documents and settings\edmundo.d1dlcb21\local settings\temp delete all files in this
folder – not the temp folder itself
C:\Documents and Settings\Edmundo.D1DLCB21\Application Data\otrb.exe<–file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\n?tdde.exe<–file

Reboot and post a new HJT log for review.

Regards,

Dave

Dave, thank you so much for your time. I did as instructed and and attempted to uploaded the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\xphex.dll to virusscan.jotti.org and have it scanned. Following is the resoponse I received from them:

"The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file"

Incidentally, I temporarily disabled my firewall when I attempted to upload this file.

I stopped the proceess as instructed, ran HiJackThis and had it fixed the files you listed.

I then rebooted in safe mode and checked for the files you listed and none was found.

Finally, I ran HiJackThis again and following is the new HiJackThis Log. The Logfile is saved in My Documents but I cut and paste it from notepad on my desktop:

Hello mundo696,

Things are looking much better.

Try uploading that file to this link and see what we find.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\xphex.dll<–file

Link: http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus

And report what it finds.

I missed a couple of harmless but uneeded items on the last fix.

You can run HJT and fix these 2 items.

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

Other than that you look clean from here.

Reboot, post another log and any info. you find on the file.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave I'm very happy to report that I was finally able to remove the HUNTBAR btien file from my registry.

I ran regedit, highlighted Hkey_local_machine/software, right clicked and selected permissions, clicked on advanced and checked the box in front of "inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here." Clicked okay, then I was able to delete the BTIEN line. I hope this helps anyone with the persistent HUNTBAR. Thanks for your help and time, Edmundo.

Hello mundo696,

Congratulations, your system is clean. Here are a few tips to prevent malware from
infesting your computer in the future.

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files, and malware often hides in these restore points. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected anyway).* To turn off System Restore:
* On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
* Click Properties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* Check Turn off System Restore.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.
* Reboot.

* Now turn System Restore back ON.
* On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
* Click Properties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* Un-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.
In addition to updating and running your current Anti-Malware tools I recommend the following:
  • Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
  • Install SpywareGuard - SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method. You can download SpywareGuard here:
    http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sgdownload.html
    A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial50.html
  • This point cannot be stressed enough! - Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
I recommend cleaning out your temporary internet files. CCleaner is a
freeware system optimisation tool for PCs. It removes unnecessary junk
from your computer allowing it to run more efficiently and securely.
Please download CCleaner from one of the two websites below:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html
http://www.ccleaner.com/

Install CCleaner. Now open and click on the Windows tab.
Check the following items:
Under Internet Explorer:
Temporary Internet Files
History
Recently Typed URLs
Delete Index.dat files
Under System:
Empty Recycle Bin
Temporary Files
Memory Dumps
Chkdsk File Fragments
Old Prefetch Data

Next: click the Options button and then click the Settings tab
Uncheck: Only delete files older than 48 hrs. and click OK

Prior to running click on the Check for updates now… link
Then click the Run Cleaner button. It should only take a few seconds
to complete and exit when it is done.

Here is a link to an article written by Tony Klein, that also gives some great advice on preventing further infection.

This is a great tutorial on Hardening IE.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Regards,

Dave
