Hi,

I have been having touble with a Trojan Dialer. It was found by AGV as "41.exe" in the Windows Temp folder. Each time it is deleted but reappears around an hour later when logged onto the internet. I am on broadband and hope the dialer is unable to use this connection to wherever its trying to go. I have tried Spybot and Adaware to no effect. Any help to get rid would be appreciated.

Hello stuartgreenpig and welcome to TomCoyote. :wavey:

Step 1
Download CWShredder.exe to your desktop from one of these places:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3019
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshr…r_download.html
http://cwshredder.net/bin/CWShredder.exe

Double click on CWShredder.exe to clean up clicking FIX to have it remove all it finds.


Step 2
Open HijackThis, run a scan, then check the following:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,Default_Search_URL = http://www.searchnow.ws/search/
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = +s
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = +s
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\Program Files\Anvil Studio\html\blank.htm

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {00110011-4B0B-44D5-9718-90C88817369B} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [win32gb] c:\windows\system\win32gb.exe /noconnect
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [YOFIDREVZ] C:\WINDOWS\YOFIDREVZ.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Internet Explorer Updater] C:\WINDOWS\system\lexbac.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Parallel Tasking] C:\Program Files\Parallel Tasking\ptask.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [sws.exe] c:\program files\HaldexLtd\stnd550\6086904.EXE -remove
O4 - Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

With all other programs and browsers closed, click fix checked.


Step 3
Reconfigure Windows 98 to show hidden files:
Double-click the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop.
Click Folder Options. Select the View Tab.

In the Advanced Settings box, under the "Hidden files" folder, click "Show all files".
On the View tab, uncheck the "Hide file extensions for known file types" option.
Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.

Step 4
Please delete the following files/folders:

c:\windows\system\win32gb.exe << File Only
C:\WINDOWS\YOFIDREVZ.exe << File Only
C:\WINDOWS\system\lexbac.exe << File Only

C:\Program Files\Parallel Tasking << Whole Folder
c:\program files\HaldexLtd << Whole Folder


Step 5
I see that you are not running a firewall on your computer. Please download ZoneAlarm to help keep your computer more secure.


Step 6
Reboot normally and scan with HijackThis. Post the new log as a reply to this thread.
Please let us know how the computer is behaving.

Your new log is clean.:)

Now that everything is fixed, I suggest that you get these programs to help keep the computer clean:

Spyware Blaster - Blocks bad ActiveX items from installing on your computer.
SpywareGuard - Real-time protection from spyware installation attempts
ie-spyad - Puts over 8,000 bad URLs into your restricted sites for Internet Explorer.
Google Toolbar - Blocks many unwanted pop-ups in Internet Explorer.
Firefox - Safer alternative to the Internet Explorer web browser.

AVG AntiVirus - Free antivirus program if you currently are not using one.
ZoneAlarm - Free firewall program if you currently are not using one.

Update these regularly.

Be sure to keep Windows and your Anti-virus updated.
