Post #1
When I first boot my computer, Internet Explorer opens and searches for a page that does not exist and returns an error. After this the computer works fine. Not a big issue, but something has changed, and I would like to make it go away. Thanks in advance for your help.

My "HiJack This" log follows.

Hello bwaniga, If you still need help and are not being helped elsewhere then follow these instructions:

1) My scanners are indicating this is bad: C:\update.exe Please use one or more of the free online scanners to make sure, post the results for me to look at.
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
Once you are sure it is bad, proceed like this:

2) Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Review the instructions http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour1.asp and please do not run it until I ask you to.

3) Download, update, configure and run these two programs: http://tomcoyote.org/aawsb.php
The newest version of Ad-aware is 1.06 and Spybot 1.04. Even if you have these programs, use the link to get the newest version, update and configure them as in the link. Run Spybot first, reboot then run Ad-aware. Both programs back up what they remove so delete anything the programs say should be removed.

4) Ewido scan:
Please download Ewido Security Suite it is a trial version of the program.
  • Install ewido security suite
  • Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
  • 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
  • Then click on Start Update
The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
If you are having problems with the updater, you can use this link to manually update Ewido.
Ewido manual updates

Once the updates are installed do the following:
  • Click on scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • NOTE: During some scans with ewido it is finding cases of false positives.**
    • You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
    • If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
    • DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
    • If you are unsure of any entry found select none for now.
  • 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.
**(Ewido for example has been flagging parts of AVG Anti-Virus, pcAnywhere and the game "Risk")

Turn off Microsoft AntiSpyware, it will block the HJT fix, make sure you turn it back on.

Open Task Manager, then the processes tab. End process on C:\update.exe if it is running

5) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Winzip Taskmngr] C:\update.exe

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

C:\update.exe >>> file
If you have any problems locating it, enable hidden files and folders:
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

5) Run CCleaner, Windows & Applications when you run the registry cleaner (Issues) you will be prompted to backup before you can remove stuff, make sure you do. Then restart the computer and post a new HJT log and the Ewido scan results in this same thread along with any feedback you have. Let me know how you are running now.

Thanks…pskelley

Hi pskelley, Thank for the help. Am posting the resulst of the scan from virusscan.jotti.org for your review. Am going back to perform the other items you requested. Will check back once I have gone thru the other items. Won't run the Cleaner until after I get back with you. bwaniga File: update.exe Status: INFECTED/MALWARE MD5 02c0dc0f5ef2172f53df595707b528b6 Packers detected: PE_PATCH Scanner results AntiVir Found Worm/Mydoom.S2 ArcaVir Found nothing Avast Found nothing AVG Antivirus Found nothing BitDefender Found nothing ClamAV Found Trojan.Delf-48 Dr.Web Found nothing F-Prot Antivirus Found nothing Fortinet Found nothing Kaspersky Anti-Virus Found nothing NOD32 Found probably unknown NewHeur_PE (probable variant) Norman Virus Control Found nothing UNA Found nothing VBA32 Found nothing

That's a nasty, I was sure it was just always best to check. It is rare anything is running from C:\ that the computer owner does not know about. Continue and post those logs and let me know how you are running at that point. Thanks…Phil

Hi Phil,

The problem with IE went away. No longer boots at startup!! Thanks for the help.

Am posting the Ewido scan and HJT logfile below. Let me know if there is anything else to be concerned with. Again, I appreciate your efforts.

G'Day, here is what I see in those two logs:

ewido security suite - Scan report Created on: 10:40:35 PM, 10/16/2005

You did have some nasties as you can see from this report. Look to see where stuff is hiding from you so you can add it to your maintenance routine. HJT just can't see it all, it would have to be a HUGH program, that's why we use the scans, and this one did a great job. After the trial (and it may use a few resources until then) you can keep, update and use the scanner for as long as you like, but you will loose the realtime protection you are getting now.
