Slow computer - unwanted PUPS

Hi Could anyone help me clean out my computer? I get PUP messages with McAfee but no way to delete or quarantine. Now the 'puter is running at 1/2 speed. I downloaded Hijack This and I'm ready to cooperate. thank you… Pati

Greetings and welcome to TomCoyote.org!

Run Hijack This!

Click the "Open the Misc Tools section" button.

Click the "Open process manager" button.

Check the "Show DLLs" box (upper right).

Click on each item in the upper window, then look in the lower window.

Check to see which processes are using C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mljgh.dll

Post back letting me know all processes using that DLL.

Download L2mfix from one of these two locations:

http://www.atribune.org/downloads/l2mfix.exe

http://www.downloads.subratam.org/l2mfix.exe

Save the file to your desktop and l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix folder on your desktop.

l2mfix.bat and select option #1 for Run Find Log by typing 1 and then pressing .

This will scan your computer and it may appear nothing is happening, then, after a minute or 2, Notepad will open with a log. Copy/paste the contents of that log into this thread.


IMPORTANT: Do NOT run option #2 OR any other files in the l2mfix folder until you are asked to do so!

Dear Micah, The only process which has the mljgh.dll file listed is: C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe I'll now download the 12mfix.exe thank you, you've helped me before with another computer and I'm very grateful. Pati

Dear Micah,

The atribune.org site does not list a 12mfix.exe nor does subratam. I did a search and couldn't find it. The direct link resulted in a 430? file not found or permission not granted for access.

The atribune site: http://www.atribune.org/content/section/4/30/ does list various downloads and tools.

Am I missing something?

Sorry! Ignore that last message. Rather than click on the link in the forum, I printed out the address and typed it in later. Didn't work. <_< silly me

Here are the results: L2MFIX find log 1.04a These are the registry keys present ********************************************************************************** Winlogon/notify: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\crypt32chain] "Asynchronous"=dword:00000000 "Impersonate"=dword:00000000 "DllName"=hex(2):63,00,72,00,79,00,70,00,74,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,\ 6c,00,00,00 "Logoff"="ChainWlxLogoffEvent" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\cryptnet] "Asynchronous"=dword:00000000 "Impersonate"=dword:00000000 "DllName"=hex(2):63,00,72,00,79,00,70,00,74,00,6e,00,65,00,74,00,2e,00,64,00,\ 6c,00,6c,00,00,00 "Logoff"="CryptnetWlxLogoffEvent" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\cscdll] "DLLName"="cscdll.dll" "Logon"="WinlogonLogonEvent" "Logoff"="WinlogonLogoffEvent" "ScreenSaver"="WinlogonScreenSaverEvent" "Startup"="WinlogonStartupEvent" "Shutdown"="WinlogonShutdownEvent" "StartShell"="WinlogonStartShellEvent" "Impersonate"=dword:00000000 "Asynchronous"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\igfxcui] @="" "DLLName"="igfxsrvc.dll" "Asynchronous"=dword:00000001 "Impersonate"=dword:00000001 "Unlock"="WinlogonUnlockEvent" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\mljgh] "Asynchronous"=dword:00000001 "DllName"="mljgh.dll" "Impersonate"=dword:00000000 "Logon"="Logon" "Logoff"="Logoff" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\ScCertProp] "DLLName"="wlnotify.dll" "Logon"="SCardStartCertProp" "Logoff"="SCardStopCertProp" "Lock"="SCardSuspendCertProp" "Unlock"="SCardResumeCertProp" "Enabled"=dword:00000001 "Impersonate"=dword:00000001 "Asynchronous"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\Schedule] "Asynchronous"=dword:00000000 "DllName"=hex(2):77,00,6c,00,6e,00,6f,00,74,00,69,00,66,00,79,00,2e,00,64,00,\ 6c,00,6c,00,00,00 "Impersonate"=dword:00000000 "StartShell"="SchedStartShell" "Logoff"="SchedEventLogOff" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\sclgntfy] "Logoff"="WLEventLogoff" "Impersonate"=dword:00000000 "Asynchronous"=dword:00000001 "DllName"=hex(2):73,00,63,00,6c,00,67,00,6e,00,74,00,66,00,79,00,2e,00,64,00,\ 6c,00,6c,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\SensLogn] "DLLName"="WlNotify.dll" "Lock"="SensLockEvent" "Logon"="SensLogonEvent" "Logoff"="SensLogoffEvent" "Safe"=dword:00000001 "MaxWait"=dword:00000258 "StartScreenSaver"="SensStartScreenSaverEvent" "StopScreenSaver"="SensStopScreenSaverEvent" "Startup"="SensStartupEvent" "Shutdown"="SensShutdownEvent" "StartShell"="SensStartShellEvent" "PostShell"="SensPostShellEvent" "Disconnect"="SensDisconnectEvent" "Reconnect"="SensReconnectEvent" "Unlock"="SensUnlockEvent" "Impersonate"=dword:00000001 "Asynchronous"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\termsrv] "Asynchronous"=dword:00000000 "DllName"=hex(2):77,00,6c,00,6e,00,6f,00,74,00,69,00,66,00,79,00,2e,00,64,00,\ 6c,00,6c,00,00,00 "Impersonate"=dword:00000000 "Logoff"="TSEventLogoff" "Logon"="TSEventLogon" "PostShell"="TSEventPostShell" "Shutdown"="TSEventShutdown" "StartShell"="TSEventStartShell" "Startup"="TSEventStartup" "MaxWait"=dword:00000258 "Reconnect"="TSEventReconnect" "Disconnect"="TSEventDisconnect" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\wlballoon] "DLLName"="wlnotify.dll" "Logon"="RegisterTicketExpiredNotificationEvent" "Logoff"="UnregisterTicketExpiredNotificationEvent" "Impersonate"=dword:00000001 "Asynchronous"=dword:00000001 RegDACL 5.1 - Permissions Manager for Registry keys for Windows NT 4 and above Copyright © 1999-2001 Frank Heyne Software (http://www.heysoft.de) This program is Freeware, use it on your own risk!

Items you may wish to consider to harden your defenses against future infections:

Read "How did I get infected in the first place?"

Download/install IE-Spyad

IE-Spyad puts over 4000 known malicious web sites into IE's "restricted zone" to help prevent you from getting infected.

Check your browser settings at Qualsys.com

A series of "tests" (and suggested fixes) to help tweak IE's settings to help prevent infections when surfing the web.

Follow safe Internet practices:

1. Keep your virus definitions up to date, and scan your system regularly.

2. Don't open email, or download attachments from unrecognized email addresses.

3. Be careful when downloading email attachments, EVEN FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW! Many virii, worms, and trojans infect a persons system then immeadiately spread themselves to the people in the infected persons addressbook via email attachments.

4. Be careful downloading files from the Internet. Scan all downloaded files with a reliable UP-TO-DATE antivirus program. Scan "zip" files BEFORE unzipping, and scan all unzipped files BEFORE USING THEM.

5. Keep your Windows and IE current with all the latest patches and updates.

Thank you Micah!!!!!!!!!

Dear Micah, Sorry, I'm baaaack. Or rather Adware-Virtumundo never left. When I returned to my computer this evening, the McAfee virus popup warned of more PUPS. And when I asked for more information, both (possibly more) messages contained references to the Adware-Virtumundo nightmare. 1st one A0027752.dll and the second, ifm[1}. One was located in the System Volume Information folder and the other was in Local Settings/ Temp Internet Files. I've instructed McAfee to remove both, but it seems that I am getting these PUPS messages every 20 minutes or so. Should I run HijackThis again to see?

A new Hijack This! log is the perfect place to start.

If McAfee is still complaining about:

A0027752.dll

in the System Volume Information folder, you'll have to "flush" your system restore points.

To do that:

Go here:

System Restore

To learn how to turn system restore ON/OFF.

Then turn system restore OFF

Reboot.

Then turn system restore ON

Then, go to:

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore

And create a restore point.

The down side of this is that if you wanted to "restore" your system to, let's say, last week, you won't be able to.

To get rid of:

ifm[1].

In your temporary Internet files, close Internet Explorer.

on your IE icon, and choose:

Properties –> Delete files –> Check the box next to Delete all offline content –> OK

Does this solve your problems?
