Good Morning, I first posted on July 11. I'm very thankful for this site and completely aware of how busy everyone is trying to help us. Thanks ! Here is an update as of today.

Norton Internet 2005 found 194 at-risk adware programs and deleted them. It can't remove C:\windows\system 32 \ apidc.exe. I can't remove it either. Norton has detected and blocked several files that were "attempting to contact the internet". Windows has stopped giving me the "something bad is trying to run your computer" warning box. Adaware ran completely clean. Spybot found 3 entries for "Trek Blue Error Nuker" and deleted them. Spybot always finds these 3 files.

I have run ccsheddar, ccleaner, and spsehjfix. I followed the directions given to others on this forum (i.e. safe mode, reboot).

My previous posts are 184722, 184765, 185021, 185755, 185802, and 186203. I replied to my own posts in an effort to provide updates. I hope I didn't make things too confusing. I'm including my Hijackthis and spsehjfix logs.

Here is my latest Hijackthis log.

Thank you !
Hello and welcome to TomCoyote. :wavey:

I have merged all of your other threads together here for reference. Your computer is severly infected with the newest version of About:Blank.

Please stop using the spsehjfix as this is not the fix for the version of About:Blank on your computer. This will only fix part of the infection and cause it to infect the computer worse when it reinstalls itself.

I have not seen the added service in any of the logs you posted yet so this may take a a few tries to fix. What I need from you is a HijackThis log run in Safe Mode to see if the added service will show up there, than a fresh HijackThis log run in Normal Mode. After posting these two logs, do not reboot the computer nor use Internet Explorer if possible as this will cause the infection to morph and the file names may change.

Reboot the computer into Safe Mode (tap F8 during bootup, use arrow keys to select Safe Mode, then hit 'enter'). Run a scan with Hijackthis and save the log.

Reboot the computer normally, scan with Hijackthis again and save the log.

Post the logs as a reply to this topic. You will need to make a seperate reply for each log as they are too big together to fit in one reply. Remember not to reboot the computer nor use Internet Explorer if possible.
Hello, Great to hear from you ! Sorry if I made the problem worse. I did as directed and here are the two Hijack logs. FYI, when restarting from safe mode to normal, windows couldn't find 193 files before it finally went to desktop.

I see the service showed up in the second scan. Do you have your Windows XP installation CD's? We may need them to replace any missing files after removing the infection.

Step#1:Getting Ready


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.

After downloading the tools, you must disconnect from the internet totally, because staying connected while fixing will prevent the fix from working. Also please keep Internet Explorer and Outlook Express closed throughout as opening either will reinstall the infection.

To replace Internet Explorer to use during this fix, please use Internet Explorer once to download and install FireFox, to be used as your alternate browser throughout this fix.

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

Please start by downloading the tools you will need to clean this infection with FireFox. If you have a problem or question with any please continue to follow the list step by step to the end and ask the questions when you are asked to reply. Just be sure to let us know what the problem was when you finally reply.


Step#2:Show All Hidden Files Very Important
  • Double-click My Computer.
  • Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
  • Click the View tab.
  • Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
  • Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
  • Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
  • Click Apply, and then click OK.

Step#3:Download CWShredder

1. Please Download the most recent version of CWShredder, from CWSInstall.exe

2. Check for Updates but please Do NOT use it yet


Step#4:Download About Buster

1. Please download About:Buster from here: http://www.malwarebytes.biz/AboutBuster5.zip.

2. Once it is downloaded extract it to c:\aboutbuster.

3. Check to make sure it is up-to-date. Please Do NOT use it yet


Step#5:Download Registrar Lite

Another program to download is Registrar Lite for use later: Please download Registrar Lite and install it to C:\Program Files\RegLite\ . This is a registry editor that is very easy to use. Caution should be exercised when editing the registry as it is very easy to render a Computer unbootable by deleting the wrong key


Step#6:Download Ewido Security Suite
  • Download and install Ewido security suite
  • Right Click on the “E” icon in your taskbar and open Ewido Security Suite then click “update” to get the most recent definitions for it to use.
  • When it prompts you to update, click the OK button.
  • download the updates and when they are finished installing, close the window
  • Please Do Not Use It Yet

Step#7:Download A Registry File to Remove Registry Entries
  • Please download the following zip file to your desktop:
    HSfix
  • Double Click on HSfix.zip and it will unzip to a new folder it makes on your desktop, called HSfix
  • Do Not Use It Yet

Please disconnect from the Internet

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




Step#8:Disable The Bad Service ** Very Important!!**
  • Click on start > control panel > administrative programs > services. Look for a service called Network Security Service. Double click on that service and click stop and then set the startup to disabled. Also write down the name and path of the file listed in the Path to executable field. This filename must be deleted below.

Step#9:Stop The Running Processes

Press control-alt-delete to get into the task manager and end the following processes if they exist:

winki32.exe
apidc.exe




Step#10:Delete the Offending Files

I now need you to delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntrv32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\croq.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winbc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\sdkad.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\apidc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\addsj32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ipin32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ievs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\winki32.exe



If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. if it is uncheck it and try again.



Step#11:Cleaning With HijackThis

Open HijackThis, run a scan and put a checkmark next to each of these entries (some may be gone after uninstalling some programs):

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

With all other programs and browsers closed, click Fix Checked.



Step#12: Backup The Registry

In the next step we are going to remove a service that gets installed by this malware.

1. Open Registrar Lite and run it.

2. Copy and paste the bold text below into the address bar of Registrar Lite:(this is making a Registry backup for safety in case of error)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\

Go to File> Export and and save as (in the C:\Program Files\Registrar Lite (Reglite) folder):

1.) Winkey.reg (Save as type: regedit4 .reg type)
2.) Winkey.hiv (Save as type: Scroll to select-regetd32/WinAPI *hiv *dat files)






Step#13: Use the HSfix.reg file
  • Navigate to the HSfix folder on your Desktop
  • Then double-click on the HSfix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say yes, and this will clear some registry entries left behind by the process.
  • if you have a popup from any of your protection programs asking if you want to make a change to the registry, say Yes or Accept it

Step#14:Fixing With CWShredder
  • CLOSE ALL WINDOWS except CWShredder
  • Run the program by clicking 'fix' and letting it fix all CWS remnants.


Step#15:Fixing With About Buster

This is the step where we will use About:Buster that you had downloaded previously.
  • Navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory
  • double-click on aboutbuster.exe
  • When the tool opens press the OK button, then Start button, then the OK button
  • 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#16:Scan With Ewido Security Suite
  • Launch Ewido again
  • Click on Scanner>Complete System Scan.
  • Let the program scan your PC.
  • When the scan asks to clean files click OK.
  • When scan is completed, click Save report. to your desktop.
  • Post the report in your next reply.

Reboot your computer back to normal mode


Step#17:Scan and Post a New HJT log with other logs
  • Scan again with HijackThis and save log.

    Reconnect To The Internet
  • Post your logs from HijackThis, About Buster, and Ewido Security Suite 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.
Alan, Thanks for all your help.

Everything ran smoothly. I do have a few questions for you. Can Ewido and Norton run together without fighting? I run Norton and I now have spybot and adaware to run as well … anything else to keep me clean? Should I run ccschredder, ccleaner, etc … ? Sadly, I can't find my WinXP disc, I have 2 installs and can't locate either one … I'll keep looking.

Here are the reports you asked about.

It does look like the Ewido log didn't save properly.
Norton and Ewido should have no problem working together on your computer. Cwshredder is not necessary to run unless you know you are infected with CoolWebSearch. If this is the case again, I would suggest asking for help here.

Step#1:Restore Deleted System 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.
  • 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
  • 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:Download CCleaner
Download CCleaner from here to clean temp files from your computer.
  • Double click on the file to start the installation of the program.
  • Select your language and click OK, then next.
  • Read the license agreement and click I Agree.
  • Click next to use the default install location. Click Install then finish to complete installation.
  • Double click the CCleaner shortcut on the desktop to start the program.
  • Click Options < Advanced and uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours".
  • Click Run Cleaner to run the program.
  • After it has completed it's process, click Exit.
Caution : It is not recommended to use the 'Issues' tab as it is known to find legitimate items.



Step#3:Complete An Online AntiVirus Scan

Run an online antivirus scan at:

Trend Micro-Housecall Online AV

Reboot



Step#4:Find the Infected Files On Your Hard Drive
  • Navigate to C:\Windows
  • look for files that were created at the approximate time and date as the infection occurred.
  • look for those that end in exe, DAT and DLL and if found, right click on the file and check properties. Legitimate files should be copyrighted by Microsoft
  • if you determine they are bad files, right click on them and choose delete
  • Navigate to C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows\System32 (depending on the OS) and repeat each of the above steps to check for those ending in exe, DAT and/or DLL
  • if the above files will not delete, then make a new folder on your desktop by right clicking on the desktop and choosing New > Folder. Name the folder CWS Files.
  • Move the files from C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows\system32
    to the new folder CWS Files.
Step#5:Scan And Post a New HijackThis Log

1. Scan again with HijackThis

2. POST your log file using Add Reply to see what is left to fix.
Hey Alan, Everything seemed to go well, I followed all your instructions. I looked through the .dat, .dll. .exe files. In properties, I couldn't find where any said which company made them. The online scan found and removed more bad files, something like 194. I ran spybot and Ad-Aware, they both ran clean .. that's a first for me! Here's the file you asked for …

Very nice work on removing this difficult infection. :thumbup:
There is just one entry left to fix with HijackThis.

Open HijackThis, run a scan and check the following:

Comcast (the cable folks who are replacing @home in some parts of the USA) have struck a deal with Tioga to provide an "enhanced" support and self-repairing tool. This is "beta" at present and was made available to download by mistake at present. Remove via Start -> Settings -> Add/Remove Programs
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ComcastSUPPORT] C:\Program Files\Support.com\bin\tgkill.exe /cleaneahtioga /start

With all other programs and browsers closed, click Fix Checked.


Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected.)

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. On the System Restore tab, put a check mark in the 'Turn Off System Restore' check box.
3. Click OK, and then click Yes.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 2, this time clearing the box beside 'Turn Off System Restore', click 'OK'.


I suggest that you get these programs to help keep the computer clean:

Spyware Blaster - Blocks bad ActiveX items from installing on your computer. Spyware Blaster runs silently in the background.
ie-spyad - Puts over 12,000 bad URLs into your restricted sites for Internet Explorer.
Google Toolbar - Blocks many unwanted pop-ups in Internet Explorer.

Update these regularly.

You may also want to read "How did I get infected in the first place" to learn how to better secure your computer.

Be sure to keep Windows and your Anti-virus updated.
Alan, I followed your directions. I also loaded the programs you suggested. Before I post my Hijack, I want to thank you for helping me. Honestly, I was and would be completely lost without your taking the time to help. Thank you.
