Hi kmount.

Win asked me to take over for him.

You have a nasty infection that will need some special treatment.


The Fix -

(the reason Wordpad was chosen is that Notepad is often deleted by this variant)

Please save these instructions to WordPad so that you have them accessible while following the steps. You also may want to print out these directions as the Internet will not be available. You must disconnect from the internet totally, as staying connected while fixing will prevent the fix from working. Also please keep Internet Explorer and Outlook Express closed throughout as opening them will reinstall the infection. Read through all the instructions so that you can ask any questions now, before you disconnect from the Internet.

Close Outlook Express and Internet Explorer for the duration of this fix

Please continue with the next steps and if you run into any problems with the current one, just keep going through the list step by step. Just be sure to let us know what the problem was when you finally reply.

  • Once the scan has finished click "Compare" to compare your files to valid Windows files.
    Files in the upper window have now been verified to "exist", Files in the lower window were not able to be accessed. Very few files should be listed in the lower window when the Compare scan is complete.
  • Once it has finished comparing click " Make a Log of what was found".
  • Click on each of the listed entries in the lower section to select them. Right-click on the file and use the Option Rescan This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then it will be removed from the list (to reduce the number of identified files)
  • Click "Yes" at the ‘View Log file’ prompt to view the log.
  • Copy and paste the entire log into your next reply after completing all steps.(saved as log.txt in the DllCompare folder)
  • Click "Exit".

Step#9:Delete Running Processes

Step#13:Use About Buster


This is the step where we will use About:Buster that you had downloaded previously.
  • Navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory and double-click on aboutbuster.exe
  • When the tool is open press the OK button,
  • then the Start button, then the OK button, and then finally the Yes button.
  • It will start scanning your computer for files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
  • Post the log file in your next reply



Step#14:Use Registry File
  • Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad.
  • Name the file as fix.reg
  • Change the Save as Type to All Files
  • and Save it on the desktop

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HSA]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SE]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SW]

  • Then double-click on the fix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say yes, and this will clear some registry entries left behind by the process.

Reboot your computer back to normal mode



Reconnect To The Internet




Step#15:Use HijackThis and Post To Thread In Forum

1. Scan again with HijackThis. We still have a few steps to complete but a log file at this time would be helpful.

2. Post your logs from About Buster, DllCompare and your HijackThis log here in this thread with any questions or problems that you have run into. There are still some steps that are necessary to clear out all of the malware. There will be necessary files that it has deleted that will need to be replaced.

Good Luck!

Hi kmount.

You and your husband did great. :) I spent close to three hours sorting out all the junk and preparing the instructions. I can imaging how much time it must have taken you to run them. :weee:

This is some infection. :rant2: It has not given up yet but hopefully we have it on the run.

We will have to go through nearly the whole mess once more. :( If we have really bad luck we will have to do it more than once more. As I said it is nasty and complicated. At least we have reduced the infected files that need to be removed from I believe 93 to just under 20. At least a step in the right direction.

By the way, try not to use the computer on the net until we have gotten rid of this pest. It downloads itself from the net.
Until we are through getting rid of this infection I will not even guess what is going on with your computer.

I am posting the whole fix but you do not need to run steps 1 through 5 again. Start by disconnecting from the net.

The Fix -

(the reason Wordpad was chosen is that Notepad is often deleted by this variant)

Please save these instructions to WordPad so that you have them accessible while following the steps. You also may want to print out these directions as the Internet will not be available. You must disconnect from the internet totally, as staying connected while fixing will prevent the fix from working. Also please keep Internet Explorer and Outlook Express closed throughout as opening them will reinstall the infection. Read through all the instructions so that you can ask any questions now, before you disconnect from the Internet.

Close Outlook Express and Internet Explorer for the duration of this fix

Please continue with the next steps and if you run into any problems with the current one, just keep going through the list step by step. Just be sure to let us know what the problem was when you finally reply.



Step#1:Make Sure Hidden Files Are Visible
  • Please make sure you can view all Hidden Files by choosing the instructions for your Windows OS.

Step#2:Download and Update CWShredder
  • Download CWShredder.Do Not Use It Yet
  • Save CWShredder.exe to a convenient location.
  • make sure it is up to date.

Step#3:Download DllCompare
Step#4:Download Killbox
  • Download the Killbox.Do Not Use It Yet
  • Unzip the contents of KillBox.zip to a convenient location.
Step#5:Download About Buster
  • Please download About:Buster from here: Do Not Use It Yet
  • About Buster.
  • extract it to c:\aboutbuster.
  • update. to latest definitions


Please disconnect from the Internet and unplug your modem for the duration of this fix



Step#6:Reboot To Safe Mode

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up and continue for the rest of the fix in SAFE MODE



Step#7: Use CWShredder
  • Open CWShredder.exe.
  • Click "Fix ->" and click "OK" at the prompt.
  • CWShredder will scan and clean your system of CWS files.
  • Click "Next->" and then "Exit".
  • REBOOT back into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up.l


Step#8:Use DllCompare
  • Open DllCompare.exe to run the program.
  • Click "Run Locate.com" and it will scan your system for files.
  • Once the scan has finished click "Compare" to compare your files to valid Windows files.
    Files in the upper window have now been verified to "exist", Files in the lower window were not able to be accessed. Very few files should be listed in the lower window when the Compare scan is complete.
  • Once it has finished comparing click " Make a Log of what was found".
  • Click on each of the listed entries in the lower section to select them. Right-click on the file and use the Option Rescan This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then it will be removed from the list (to reduce the number of identified files)
  • Click "Yes" at the ‘View Log file’ prompt to view the log.
  • Copy and paste the entire log into your next reply after completing all steps.(saved as log.txt in the DllCompare folder)
  • Click "Exit".

Step#9:Delete Running Processes
  • In Safe Mode delete the Running Processes that have been Identified as being part of the infection. If unable to delete them, see below to use Killbox.
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APINK.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\D3AJ.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\IEBN32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CRYO32.EXE

    C:\WINDOWS\JAVAJM32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\IECW32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSQV.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IERV.EXE


Step#10:Delete Infected Files
Please boot into Safe Mode and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\APIJE.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\IEBN32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\IECW32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\IPZC.EXE

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MFCBD.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\NETAU32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SDKJS32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSQV.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\system\uyvqn.dll

Step#11:Use Killbox(may not be necessary)
  • If unable to delete files above in safe mode please use KillBox that you downloaded earlier:
  • Open KillBox
  • Highlight the list of names to delete then CTRL-C to copy and then Paste all files into the box "Full Path of File to Delete" . C:\WINDOWS\APIJE.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\IEBN32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\IECW32.EXE

Step#13:Use About Buster


This is the step where we will use About:Buster that you had downloaded previously.
  • Navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory and double-click on aboutbuster.exe
  • When the tool is open press the OK button,
  • then the Start button, then the OK button, and then finally the Yes button.
  • It will start scanning your computer for files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
  • Post the log file in your next reply



Step#14:Use Registry File
  • Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad.
  • Name the file as fix.reg
  • Change the Save as Type to All Files
  • and Save it on the desktop

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HSA]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SE]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SW]

  • Then double-click on the fix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say yes, and this will clear some registry entries left behind by the process.

Reboot your computer back to normal mode



Reconnect To The Internet




Step#15:Use HijackThis and Post To Thread In Forum

1. Scan again with HijackThis. We still have a few steps to complete but a log file at this time would be helpful.

2. Post your logs from About Buster, DllCompare and your HijackThis log here in this thread with any questions or problems that you have run into. There are still some steps that are necessary to clear out all of the malware. There will be necessary files that it has deleted that will need to be replaced.

Good Luck! :wavey:

kmount
Hi kmount.

We will have to go through the routine once more but each time the infection is loosing ground. However once you are rid of the infection there are still steps to be done in order to clean up after it.
However first things first. Let's see if the last pieces will let themselfs be fixed this time.


The Fix -

(the reason Wordpad was chosen is that Notepad is often deleted by this variant)

Please save these instructions to WordPad so that you have them accessible while following the steps. You also may want to print out these directions as the Internet will not be available. You must disconnect from the internet totally, as staying connected while fixing will prevent the fix from working. Also please keep Internet Explorer and Outlook Express closed throughout as opening them will reinstall the infection. Read through all the instructions so that you can ask any questions now, before you disconnect from the Internet.

Close Outlook Express and Internet Explorer for the duration of this fix

Please continue with the next steps and if you run into any problems with the current one, just keep going through the list step by step. Just be sure to let us know what the problem was when you finally reply.



Please disconnect from the Internet and unplug your modem for the duration of this fix



Step#6:Reboot To Safe Mode

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up and continue for the rest of the fix in SAFE MODE



Step#7: Use CWShredder
  • Open CWShredder.exe.
  • Click "Fix ->" and click "OK" at the prompt.
  • CWShredder will scan and clean your system of CWS files.
  • Click "Next->" and then "Exit".
  • REBOOT back into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up.l


Step#8:Use DllCompare
  • Open DllCompare.exe to run the program.
  • Click "Run Locate.com" and it will scan your system for files.
  • Once the scan has finished click "Compare" to compare your files to valid Windows files.
    Files in the upper window have now been verified to "exist", Files in the lower window were not able to be accessed. Very few files should be listed in the lower window when the Compare scan is complete.
  • Once it has finished comparing click " Make a Log of what was found".
  • Click on each of the listed entries in the lower section to select them. Right-click on the file and use the Option Rescan This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then it will be removed from the list (to reduce the number of identified files)
  • Click "Yes" at the ‘View Log file’ prompt to view the log.
  • Copy and paste the entire log into your next reply after completing all steps.(saved as log.txt in the DllCompare folder)
  • Click "Exit".

Step#9:Delete Running Processes
  • In Safe Mode delete the Running Processes that have been Identified as being part of the infection. If unable to delete them, see below to use Killbox.
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINBP.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\ADDQN32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPCR.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\WINXP32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINFK32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IPJA32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPCR.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\ADDQN32.EXE


Step#10:Delete Infected Files
Please boot into Safe Mode and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\ADDQN32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\APIIR32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\MSCJ.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\WINXP32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPCR.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPLV.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IPJA32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINBP.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINFK32.EXE

Step#11:Use Killbox(may not be necessary)
  • If unable to delete files above in safe mode please use KillBox that you downloaded earlier:
  • Open KillBox
  • Highlight the list of names to delete then CTRL-C to copy and then Paste all files into the box "Full Path of File to Delete" . C:\WINDOWS\ADDQN32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\APIIR32.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\MSCJ.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\WINXP32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPCR.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPLV.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IPJA32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINBP.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINFK32.EXE


[*]Choose Delete on Reboot.

[*]Click the "Delete File" button which looks like a stop sign.

[*]Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt.

[*]If you get a "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Removed by External Process!" message then just restart manually.




Step#12:Use HijackThis

Then close all programs and windows and run hijackthis. Put a checkmark next to each of these entries and click 'fix checked' button when ready (some may be gone after uninstalling some programs):

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O2 - BHO: Class - {E436CD32-AE4D-738A-E06E-D227AC75B577} - C:\WINDOWS\APIIR32.DLL
O2 - BHO: Class - {D8F0E5CF-F02C-5845-C984-FB04E2D9B2A7} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPLV.DLL
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IPJA32.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IPJA32.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSCJ.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\MSCJ.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WINBP.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINBP.EXE /s
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [ADDQN32.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\ADDQN32.EXE /s
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [APPCR.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APPCR.EXE /s
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WINXP32.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\WINXP32.EXE /s
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WINFK32.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINFK32.EXE





Step#13:Use About Buster


This is the step where we will use About:Buster that you had downloaded previously.
  • Navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory and double-click on aboutbuster.exe
  • When the tool is open press the OK button,
  • then the Start button, then the OK button, and then finally the Yes button.
  • It will start scanning your computer for files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
  • Post the log file in your next reply



Step#14:Use Registry File
  • Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad.
  • Name the file as fix.reg
  • Change the Save as Type to All Files
  • and Save it on the desktop

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HSA]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SE]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SW]

  • Then double-click on the fix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say yes, and this will clear some registry entries left behind by the process.

Reboot your computer back to normal mode



Reconnect To The Internet




Step#15:Use HijackThis and Post To Thread In Forum

1. Scan again with HijackThis. We still have a few steps to complete but a log file at this time would be helpful.

2. Post your logs from About Buster, DllCompare and your HijackThis log here in this thread with any questions or problems that you have run into. There are still some steps that are necessary to clear out all of the malware. There will be necessary files that it has deleted that will need to be replaced.

Hope for the best that this is the last round of this part of the cleanup.

Hi kmount. Good job :)

We are ready for the next part. It is not simple either. :) I am afraid that it could be a case where you will need the help of your husband. However you are doing great. :). This is among the worst infections to get rid of on a Windows ME computer.
By the way I am not going to be avaiable until tomorrow evening EST. Sorry about that.


If you are having any difficulty with Notepad, please go to Merijn's Files and choose 'Windows Files' from the menu on the left hand side of the page. Then choose 'Notepad' from the list and download it to C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32

Step#1:Check For Deleted Files

Now we need to see if we need to restore some deleted files:
  • Please check for the following files using the Windows Search Engine:
    • control.exe
    • rundll32.exe
    • wmplayer.exe
    • msconfig.exe
    • notepad.exe
    • shell.dll
    • SDHelper.dll
    If any are missing or not working properly then you can download new copies from
    Merijn's Files and following the instructions at that site to have them where they belong for your OS.
    • Download the Hoster from here. Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program. This will restore the original deleted Hosts file.
    • This infection often deletes some system files that need to be replaced. The most frequent one it deletes is shell.dll in Win2K or XP. In XP there are two copies of this file, one in Windows (WINNT) and one in Windows\System32. It does not delete the one in Windows\System so it does not affect Win9x/ME. If you find it missing, please copy the shell.dll from c:\windows\system32\dllcache into both \Windows (WINNT) and Windows\System32 .
    • The other system file which is most frequently deleted is control.exe. Please check to make sure that you have this file and it is the correct size. If not Please check for the existence of this file by going to to Merijn's Files (sdhelper) and examine where the file should be for your operating system. If the file is missing then download the appropriate file and place it in the proper place according to the information at this website. The control.exe is more often deleted in Win9x/ME.
    • If you have Spybot S&D installed you will also need to replace one file. Go here: Merijn's Files (sdhelper) and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing you Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy). Then click Start > Run > regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDHelper.dll" and press the OK button


    Step#2:Use Cleanmgr
    • go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Cleanmgr
    • Select each Hard Drive in order and Click OK
    • Let it calculate the amount of space that it can clean
    • Make sure Temporary Internet Files, Temporary Files and Recycle Bin are selected
    • Click OK and allow it to Clean

    Step#3:Scan With Online AV Scanner

    Run an online antivirus scan at:

    Trend Micro Online AV

    Reboot


    Step#4:Scan With HijackThis and Post In Forum

    1. Scan again with HijackThis

    2. POST your log file to see if there is anything left to fix


    E:)

Just let me know what's next…. I will be back SUNDAY late afternoon….. Thanks! kmount
Hi kmount:

Good news: All files are there.
Bad news:is One of the files belonging to the infection is back.

We will have to take care of it. You know the routine.


Please disconnect from the Internet and unplug your modem for the duration of this fix



Step#6:Reboot To Safe Mode

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up and continue for the rest of the fix in SAFE MODE



Step#7: Use CWShredder
  • Open CWShredder.exe.
  • Click "Fix ->" and click "OK" at the prompt.
  • CWShredder will scan and clean your system of CWS files.
  • Click "Next->" and then "Exit".
  • REBOOT back into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up.l

Step#8:Use DllCompare
  • Open DllCompare.exe to run the program.
  • Click "Run Locate.com" and it will scan your system for files.
  • Once the scan has finished click "Compare" to compare your files to valid Windows files.
    Files in the upper window have now been verified to "exist", Files in the lower window were not able to be accessed. Very few files should be listed in the lower window when the Compare scan is complete.
  • Once it has finished comparing click " Make a Log of what was found".
  • Click on each of the listed entries in the lower section to select them. Right-click on the file and use the Option Rescan This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then it will be removed from the list (to reduce the number of identified files)
  • Click "Yes" at the ‘View Log file’ prompt to view the log.
  • Copy and paste the entire log into your next reply after completing all steps.(saved as log.txt in the DllCompare folder)
  • Click "Exit".
Step#9:Delete Running Processes
  • In Safe Mode delete the Running Processes that have been Identified as being part of the infection. If unable to delete them, see below to use Killbox.
    C:\WINDOWS\APIUT.EXE
      /s

    Step#10:Delete Infected FilesPlease boot into Safe Mode and delete the following files:
    C:\WINDOWS\APIUT.EXE
    Step#11:Use Killbox(may not be necessary)
    • If unable to delete files above in safe mode please use KillBox that you downloaded earlier:
    • Open KillBox
    • Highlight the list of names to delete then CTRL-C to copy and then Paste all files into the box "Full Path of File to Delete" .
      C:\WINDOWS\APIUT.EXE
    • Choose Delete on Reboot.
    • Click the "Delete File" button which looks like a stop sign.
    • Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt.
    • If you get a "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Removed by External Process!" message then just restart manually.

    Step#12:Use HijackThis

    Then close all programs and windows and run hijackthis. Put a checkmark next to each of these entries and click 'fix checked' button when ready (some may be gone after uninstalling some programs):

    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [APIUT.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\APIUT.EXE /s




    Step#13:Use About Buster


    This is the step where we will use About:Buster that you had downloaded previously.
    • Navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory and double-click on aboutbuster.exe
    • When the tool is open press the OK button,
    • then the Start button, then the OK button, and then finally the Yes button.
    • It will start scanning your computer for files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
    • Post the log file in your next reply


    Step#14:Use Registry File
    • Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad.
    • Name the file as fix.reg
    • Change the Save as Type to All Files
    • and Save it on the desktop

    REGEDIT4

    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\HSA]

    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SE]

    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SW]

    • Then double-click on the fix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say yes, and this will clear some registry entries left behind by the process.
    Reboot your computer back to normal mode



    Reconnect To The Internet




    Step#15:Use HijackThis and Post To Thread In Forum

    1. Scan again with HijackThis. We still have a few steps to complete but a log file at this time would be helpful.

    2. Post your logs from About Buster, DllCompare and your HijackThis log here in this thread with any questions or problems that you have run into. There are still some steps that are necessary to clear out all of the malware. There will be necessary files that it has deleted that will need to be replaced.

    Do not use your computer until I have checked your log and seen that we really got rid of everything.

    Good Luck!


    Sorry for the missing file paths as originallly posted.



    E :)
psst: I think elrond made a typo for step 9: He meant to have you kill this process: C:\WINDOWS\APIUT.EXE good luck! Thanks wng. You are absolutely right. Edited the post by now.
(Thanks Wng, I didn't notice your post until afterwards, but after a momemt of being puzzled, I figured that must be what E meant….) Hey E……Here are the posts…..I am not using this laptop except in safe mode while fixing this problem….I am using our upstairs computer instead….
