well i am pretty sure i followed everything to the letter as you said. it still looks like there might be some poop left in there still…one thing i was not sure of in your spybot udate was what to DL..i did the update yesturday and when i clicked web update today it sadi no new updates. i also had previously DL adware SE yesturday too so there was no new updates avail for it either. also i could not find any files named D3pr.exe or msai.exe. i do remeber deleting them yesturday though so maybe the trojan has dropped new files in there?:(

here is my new log. things seem to be a bit better..i didnt get a critical window upon booting this time anyway…i will have to see if i still get that taskbar window problem when i shutdown though. one other thing too if you dont mind…the program file Quicktime that shows in my running processes, is it necessary? i dont use quicktime ever i dont think. but when i went into add/remove programs it suggested i dont remove everthing to do with it..but can i just delete it all?

thanx for your time you guys on this forum are amazing..i sure wish i new half as much as you guys did when i comes to computers…if you ever need landscaping done hit me up with a PM…hehe

PS> i sure will miss playing poker. is there anyway that i can keep that program? or should i just delete it all cause it caused this big mess of problems?
Post #5
Partypoker is optional, if you want to keep it go ahead and keep it.

Just the one item remains, run Hijackthis place a check next to the following

O23 - Service: Network Security Service (%AF夶À¨) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\d3pr.exe (file missing)

Close all your Internet Browsers and click fix.

Just make sure that file is gone from your system.


Post a fresh Hijackthis log once complete.

There's just one more item, but I've got to create a file to remove it. I'll have it later on tonight.
Post #6
well just my luck i tried to fix that file like five times it kept coming back…tried on safe mode and regular. now there is a new one that has poped up in the log..right at the bottom..the imapi.exe for a computer that doesnt have that much on it, it sure is being a serious PITA to get rid of..

Download: supershell.zip
http://p-nand-q.com/download/tools/supershell.zip

Unzip supershell.zip

Make sure you are logged in under an Administrator account.
(or are a user with Administrator privledges)
Open the unzipped SuperShell folder.
Double-click (launch) SuperShell.exe.

This will launch a Command Prompt window.
at the prompt type regedit and press enter.

Regedit will open. At the top of the window click edit then copy and paste the following into the window.

%AF夶À¨

Then click find now.
When you find the entry right click on it and select delete, anwer ok at the prompt.
Next, press "F3" to continue searching, if another instance is found, repeat the above steps, until you see the "completed searching" message.

If you get a (Permissions) error?
Right-click the key (left pane)

Click Advanced [button]
If the "Inherit Permissions" box is checked = Uncheck it.
Then select "COPY" on the prompt.

Select "Everyone Group" (if listed) and remove. (only the group)
You can individually view/edit each group settings.
Be sure "Administrators" and "System" have full control on all.
Note: Creator owner full control on Sub keys only.
"Power users" and "users" = "read control".


Before I proceed let me know if that works.


Have you deleted the following file?
C:\WINDOWS\d3pr.exe <–completely gone from your system

well i think you got rid of this thing finally…couple things though..i unziped that supershell to my desktop.but none of the icons i clicked on started a program so i just went into reg edit and searched for the file you told me to. popped up a whole folder. i deleted it and then continued search and it was back again..i got really ticked off went into msconfig and in general clicked the selected boot thing and and only let the computer boot esseential files for running..rebooted then went into regedit again found the folder and deleted it, presto no return. i also got rid of my quicktime problem while i was in there. and here is my new log file i will post it then reboot in normal mode just to make sure it is gone. also when i searched the for the file you highlighted in previous post a file came up in the c:\windows\prefeth folder..it wasnt quite the same name but the file name contained the d3pr so it deleted it anyway. man i hope i am not screwing up my computer. here is the HJT log

Top notch mate, excellent work. If you messed up your system, you would receive an error. I really don't think you did. One last piece of information, update XP to Service Pack 2. There are a lot of updates that will protect your system.

To prevent the hijackers from taking over your system, increase the level of security on your system. Don't allow the hijackers to take you over!! Review these articles to increase the level of security.
