first of all your system is suffereing from 2 major infections that we will tackle 1 at a time as soon as we have HijackThis in a protected environment.


1.I need you to move HijackThis to its own folder so that nothing gets deleted by mistake. The easiest way for you now would be as follows:

. Right Click on your Desktop
. Scroll down the menu to "New"
. Left click on "Folder"
. Name Folder "HJT"
. Drag or copy the current HijackThis icon from your desktop into the HJT Folder
. Run HJT from there.

The final setup should look like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Thao Nguyen\Desktop\HJT/HijackThis.exe

2. Now runHJT again, ckick on scan, produce a log and paste it in this thread.

Regards,

Trevuren

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

1. Run HijackThis. Click on "Config…", "Misc Tools", "Open process manager". Select the following files and click on "Kill process". Answer Yes to the "Are you sure…" question.

desktop.exe

edmond.exe

ffisearch.exe


2. Launch Wordpad, and copy/paste the box below into a new text file. Save it as fixme.reg and save it on your Desktop.


REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{5b4ab8e2-6dc5-477a-b637-bf3c1a2e5993}]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{950238fb-c706-4791-8674-4d429f85897e}]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mfiltis]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\ext\clsid\{5b4ab8e2-6dc5-477a-b637-bf3c1a2e5993}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\legacy_delprot]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\delprot]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"desktop search"=-

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"ffis"=-


3. Locate fixme.reg on your Desktop and double-click on it.
You will receive a prompt similar to: "Do you wish to merge the information into the registry?".
Answer "Yes" and wait for a message to appear similar to "Merged Successfully".
Restart your computer.

4, Launch Wordpad, and copy/paste the box below into a new text file. Save it as Unreg.bat and save it on your Desktop.

regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\isrvs\msfiltis.dll
regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\isrvs\msdbhk.dll
regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\isrvs\sysupd.dll


Locate Unreg.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it.


5. Delete the following files/folders (if present) in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32

delprot.ini

delprot.log

desktop.exe

isrvs (delete the entire folder)



Delete the following file: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Delprot.sys

That didn't seem to do the trick, so we will go back to the old stanby:

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

Now for the difficult part. Your system is suffering from the Bube virus which is often very difficult to remove. Before we start, make sure that you backup all your important data in case we run into major trouble.

The following link will provide you with all the information concerning the virus/trojan itself as well as the best description around as far as how to use the programs. CalamityJane's Treatment

I would advise you to print the article out so as to have it at your fingertips. Follow the instructions to the letter. When they mean SAFE MODE do it.
When they say DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET do it.

When you are all finished your chores, return to this thread and post a fresh HJT log. We will start cleaning up the remnants.

Regards,

Trevuren
