I do not want to start from scratch, please help me select the necessary files to fix.
Some additional information noticed upon start of problem:
I saw a notices about the files sdkpi32.dll and d3fq.exe but did not take a proper note of the messages. I tried removing d3fq.exe via other methods but was not allowed.

I apologize for the incomplete intital post. I have now followed these instructions (in default text color). All my RESULTS are listed within the instructions (in blue text color):

DO THIS FIRST
Your HIJACKTHIS program is current, but it is very important that it resides in its own folder.
We will use Hijackthis (HJT) to make changes to your system and HJT will make backups of those changes,
If HJT is not in its own folder, those backups could be lost.

Easy to fix,
* just go to MY COMPUTER > YOUR C:\ DRIVE and create a new folder and name it HIJACKTHIS .
* Now scroll to where you have HJT currently, right click on the HJT icon and select CUT .
* Now open the new folder you just created and right click within that folder and select PASTE .
* Now HJT should reside in C:\HIJACKTHIS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE

RESULT = DONE

Make sure that your Spybot program is currently 1.4, if not you can use the links in my signature to download and install the new version, along with AD-AWARE SE PERSONAL 1.06. Instructions for both here.


Please use the links in my signature to download and install both of the following free programs.

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4

* If you have the older version 1.3, remove it via ADD-REMOVE PROGRAMS in the Control Panel.

Go to START/ CONTROL PANEL/ PERFORMANCE AND MAINTAINENCE/ ADD-REMOVE
PROGRAMS scroll to that program and click on REMOVE.

* During Installation, just follow all the defaults.
* Go to MODE and click on ADVANCED MODE.
* Then to SETTINGS / FILE SETS and take the checkmark out of USAGE TRACKS.
* Then to TOOLS/ HOSTS FILE and then on the top click on ADD SPYBOT S & D HOSTS FILES.
* Then to TOOLS/ IE TWEAKS and put a checkmark in LOCK THE HOSTS FILES
* Then check for UPDATES.
* Then to Immunize. then up at the top by the GREEN SIGN, click on IMMUNIZE.
* Then go to the top to SPYBOT and run a FULL SYSTEM SCAN.
* Then to FIX PROBLEMS and fix all it finds.

Then RE-BOOT your computer.

RESULT = Already had 1.4 and ran it once in Normal Mode up to and including FIX PROBLEMS and got report that all were fixed except the d3fq.exe which could not be.
I rebooted and ran the instructions in the Ad Aware Section (see "INITIAL RESULTS" below)

2nd RESULT (post Ad Aware instructions):
Tried to run again as detailed in instructions given above and got the following error message when trying to "ADD SPYBOT S & D HOSTS LISTS":
Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search_Destroy\%SytemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts". The system cannot find the path specified
Checked again for updates (none to be found)
Clicked on Immunize (already on)
Repeated FULL SYSTEM SCAN (found same problems as before, plus some more)
Then clicked FIX PROBLEMS and got report that all were fixed

Please help. I don't know what else I can do without expert analysis of this HJT log.
Hello NewXPdown and welcome to TomCoyote. :wavey:

You have an About:Blank infection on your computer. It may morph each time the computer is rebooted and Internet Explorer or Outlook Express is used.

To replace Internet Explorer until the computer is clean, please use Internet Explorer once to download and install FireFox, after which do not use Internet Explorer again until instructed. We will use Firefox as an alternate browser during the fix.

Now reply to this topic with a fresh HijackThis log. After replying, do not reboot the computer if possible.

I'll receive an email notification of your reply and will reply as soon as possible.
Yay! Thank you, alsocom for coming to my rescue. I have already been trying to use only FireFox (and occassionally Netscape) since this all happened (although IE started up itself several times).

Here is my fresh HJT Log:

You have Spybot S&D's Teatimer running which is good, but we need you to disable it for the remainder of the fix as it will interfere with the registry changes being made.
  • Open Spybot S&D in advanced mode, click Tools > Resident, and remove the check from "Resident Tea-Timer".
Be sure to re-enable this option again once the computer is clean.


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.

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.
  • When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
  • Launch Ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop for it to double-click.
    • The program will prompt you to update, click the OK button.
    • The program will now go to the main screen.
  • You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
    • On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
    • Click on Start Update.
    • The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
  • Once the updates are installed, close the program.

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 Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper. 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 (in Step 11).

Step#9:Stop The Running Processes

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

addkd32.exe
addfs.exe




Step#10:Delete the Offending Files

I now need you to delete the following files if present:

C:\WINDOWS\apivp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\netra.dll
C:\WINDOWS\ALCMTR.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\addfq32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpide.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaqb.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3fq.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\addfs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\addkd32.exe
ShowWnd.exe << You'll need to search for this file to delete.


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#121: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):

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpide.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpide.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpide.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpide.dll/sp.html#44768
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpide.dll/sp.html#44768
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\wpide.dll/sp.html#44768
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: Class - {01E9ECB4-091B-FBA9-07B7-64920B906A95} - C:\WINDOWS\netra.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ShowWnd] ShowWnd.exe

O23 - Service: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\apivp.exe (file missing)


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
    • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
    • While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK
    • When it asks if you want to clean the first file, put a check in the lower left corner of the boxes that say "Perform action on all infections"and "Create encrypted backup" then choose clean and click OK.
    • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
    • Click Save report.
    • Save the report .txt file to your desktop.
  • Now close ewido security suite.
  • 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.

Unfortunately, the forum that supports that program is down so I won't be able to get an answer to fix the issue with About:Buster.
Did you try to run About:Buster in Safe Mode? McAfee would not be running in Safe Mode so it could not affect it.

——————————

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 WinXP. In XP there are two copies of this file, one in Windows and one in Windows\System32. If you find it missing, please copy the shell.dll from c:\windows\system32\dllcache into both \Windows 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.
  • 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.

You need to use Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers.
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.
I did try to run About:Buster in Safe Mode when initially instructed, but I received the error messsage when trying to update it when in Normal Mode, and then could not access it again after that. I have not tried to re-run again in Safe Mode since I am still getting the same error and did not want to reboot more than instructed.

I am really worried that I may have been deleting files that I should not have. This is a brand new computer (merely weeks old), and I do not know the exact day of the initial infection, so ALL dates are suspect to me. I deleted many files simply because they were not copyrighted by Microsoft. Several files reappeared after attempting to delete them and/or move them into the CWS Files folder. All deleted/moved files are now in my Recycle Bin and/or CWS Files Folder. There is a total of 160 Objects in my Recycle Bin and 62 Objects in my CWS Files (a few are duplicates). That seems like an awful lot. :unsure:

Here's the new HJT Log:

Forgive my nervousness. What next?
It is not uncommon for this infection to install several hundred files onto an infected computer.

Your new log appears clean. :)

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'.


Re-hide system Files Very Important
  • Double-click My Computer.
  • Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
  • Click the View tab.
  • Under the "Hidden files" folder, uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
  • Check "Hide protected operating system files."
  • Click Apply, and then click OK.

You may now re-enable Spybot's TeaTimer.


I suggest that you download 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.
Firefox - 'Safer' alternative to the Internet Explorer web browser.

Update these regularly.

You may also want to read "So 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.
I completed all instructions as requested above.
After re-enabling Spybot's TeaTimer I immediately started to get Registry Change notification messages..
I moved on and installed and setup the recommended programs you listed.
I then rebooted again.

Upon reboot I got the following:

1. A message that stated that "addkd32.exe" could not be found (it was one that I know I intentionally deleted.

2. A message stating that "Scheduler daemon.exe" falied due to "archlib.dll" being missing.

3. IE started up automatically with "about:blank" in the address

4. Upon trying to reset the homepage of IE to my usual (my.yahoo), it appears that Spybot disallowed the resetting of my homepage.

Here is Spybot's Log:

Am I back to square one? :(
TeaTimer put the bad registry entries back in but the files have already been deleted so the infection can not come back. :)

I'll need you to turn off TeaTimer once again to remove those entries. Open Spybot S&D in advanced mode, click Tools > Resident, and remove the check from "Resident Tea-Timer".

Download ResetTeaTimer.bat. Double click the file to remove all entries set by TeaTimer.

Scan with HijackThis and check the following:

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

Reboot the computer then turn tea timer back on. Scan with HijackThis and post the new log as a reply to this thread.
Followed all instructions. Rebooted.
Still got the "Scheduler daemon.exe - unable to locate component" message (due to "archlib.dll" not found).
But,
IE did not autostart :)
Turned tea timer back on, with no problems too.

After posting the HJT log above, I tried to open IE to check it out.
My first attempt (from clicking on the Quick Launch) did not result in a window actually opening, but IEXPLORE.EXE did appear on the Process Tab in the Windows Task Manager (but not as Running in the Applications Tab).
Selecting IE from the Start Menu/Programs opened a window to about:blank.
When I tried to reset the homepage again, S&D denied the registry change again.


BTW, FYI, the reason why I don't want to only use FireFox and/or Netscape…
I am an Artist and Design Consultant that works on many very varied projects that requires the frequent creation of unique pages to the portfolio on my business website (I use FrontPage Express mainly). Since IE still holds 90% of the market share it is important that any pages I develop appear perfect in IE, in addition to Netscape and FireFox (even the smallest details matter when your profession is in Art & Design). Therefore, I have always used IE to preview and verify my work. Am I mistaken in the belief that I need to do this, or is a preview in Netscape exactly the same as it would be in IE (since it has an IE engine in addition to the FireFox engine)? Plus, can I use Netscape to get all the regular Windows Updates from Microsoft.com (since it is apparently not possible with FireFox)?
