[Micah_6:8]

this infected piece of poop

I've got just the "pooper scooper" for you....

Please disable Teatimer, it can interfere with the cleaning process:

How to Disable Teatimer

After we have cleaned your system, please be sure to reverse this process, and re-enable Teatimer.

Reboot after disabling Teatimer.

We also need to disable your Microsoft AntiSpyware Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.

• Open Microsoft AntiSpyware.
• Click on Options, Settings.
• In the left pane, click on Real-time Protection.
• Under Startup Options uncheck Enable the Microsoft AntiSpyware Security Agents on startup (recommended).
• Under Real-time spyware threat protection uncheck Enable real-time spyware threat protection (recommended).
• After you uncheck these, click on the Save button and close Microsoft AntiSpyware.
• Right click on the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the taskbar and select Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware.

After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.bdmlmqjfm...wwO/blxfTaD.jsp

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Clocksixth] C:\DOCUME~1\JOCOOL~1\APPLIC~1\USERST~1\active download loud.exe

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Reboot in "safe" mode.

Delete all of the following noted (in red) file(s)/FOLDER(s) you can find:
c:\documents and settings\jocool~1\application data\userst~1 <--- FOLDER

Some malware files may be "hidden".
Be sure to show hidden files when looking for these file(s) and/or folder(s).

Reboot in normal mode and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

Spybot keeps picking up a 'Hotbar' that it cannot shift, and it has recently started picking up a 'Microsoft security override' that keeps cropping up, will HijackThis be able to help with these? Sorry for the (possibly) N00by questions, I am pretty much a technophobe myself if I am honest.

Thankyou in advance for any help

[LDTate]

Micah_6:8 is fine, he just has some real life work he needs to take care of.

Download the following programs.

a.
Download Killbox HERE and put it on your desktop

b.
Download CCleaner HERE and install it.

c.
Download Ewido security suite HERE



1. After the download of Ewido is complete, double click on the file to launch the install process.
2. During installation under the Additonal Options menu, you will be asked if you want to "Install background guard (required for automatic updates)" and "Install scan via context menu". Please UNCHECK both of these options.
3. Once installation is complete, launch Ewido by double-clicking the big "E" icon on your desktop. The program will prompt you to update -- click the 'OK' button.
4. The program will now go to the main screen. On the left hand side of the main screen, click on Update and then click 'Start Update'. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed. After the updates are installed, you will see 'Update Successful' in the lower left corner.
5. Close Ewido.

Next:

Reboot into Safemode:
Immediately begin tapping the F8 key (or F5 on some computers)
Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press the Enter key.

This can take a few minutes to get into Safe Mode.


Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.bdmlmqjfm...wwO/blxfTaD.jsp

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://rd.companion....com/search?p=%s

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://rd.companion....com/search?p=%s

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WorksFUD] C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\wkfud.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Works Update Detection] C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\WkDetect.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Clocksixth] C:\DOCUME~1\JOCOOL~1\APPLIC~1\USERST~1\active download loud.exe

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Next:
Open CCleaner.

Before first use, check under Options, Settings, and ensure "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours" is unchecked.

Then open it and select the items you wish to clean up.

In the Windows Tab:

I recommend cleaning all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section except Cookies.
Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section
Clean all entries in the "System" section
Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.

In the Applications Tab:

Clean all except cookies in the Firefox/Mozilla section if you use it.
Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
Clean any others that you choose.

Then click the "Run Cleaner" button


Next:
Open Ewido

1. Click on 'Scanner' (the 3rd bar from the top on the left) and Choose 'Settings'
2. Please make sure 'Scan Every File' is selected. Finally, please click 'OK'
3. On the main screen, please select 'Complete System Scan' and the scan should begin.
4. While the scan is in progress, you will be prompted to clean the first infected file it finds. Choose clean, then put a check next to 'Perform action on all infections' in the left corner of the box so you don't have to sit and watch Ewido the whole time. Click OK.
5. When the scan is complete, click "Save Report". You scan results will be saved in a textfile. Please submit that with your next post.

If during your scan Ewido "crashes" or "hangs", please try scanning again. Before running the scan, click on 'Scanner' (the 3rd bar from the top on the left) and Choose 'Settings'. Uncheck 'Scan in NTFS Alternate Data Streams' as this can cause problems in overly infected systems. Click 'OK' and then follow the instructions from step #8 again.

Exclamation Note: Ewido is a free trial product for 14 days. Since Ewido is a trial version, the realtime guard and automatic update will stop functioning after 14 days (which is the reason we uncheck them during installation). You can use Ewido as an on-demand scanner (recommended) but you will have to manually update the definition file each time you scan.

If you decide to purchase Ewido, you can enable the 'Realtime Protect' and 'Automatic Update' functions by clicking on the 'Status' bar (Top left) and clicking on both items under "Your Security Status".

Now close ewido security suite.

Next:
Then double-click on the killbox.exe program.


Start Killbox, Use standard file kill.(default settings).
Copy this whole list into the windows clipboard, all the Bolded below.

C:\DOCUME~1\JOCOOL~1\APPLIC~1\USERST~1\active download loud.exe

Still in Killbox, click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click No at the Pending Operations prompt.

If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

After Reboot, "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

[Jenas]

Ok, Killbox I am not so sure if that worked, hopefully I managed everything else ok though.

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing.

[Jenas]

This PC seems to be running ok now, I still get the scrambled up permission notice when I re-boot it, but overall the whole thing seems to be running soooooo much better . Thankyou very much for your help.

[LDTate]

I still get the scrambled up permission notice

Can you explain this better?

[Jenas]

Sorry, I was a bit vague. Its the Spybot permission prompt, when asking about permission for a registry change all the commands are scrambled, you have to click where the 'Accept Change' button SHOULD be to accept the change. If I had a way to copy it I would post it for you. Unfortunately my technophobia strikes again ...

[LDTate]

Have you checked for updates with SpyBot? If non are available I think I'd uninstall SpyBot and download it again.

Ok, I tried to update, got 1 or 2 new files available, but when I tried to update them all one refused to D/L and the information reason was '!!! bad checksum !'. I un-installed the old one and then installed a new one, but it has the same effect. Is there any way around this?

*fingers crossed* I think I may have solved it already, who says a fervent prayer doesnt help anything? Thankyou very much for all your help, it is very much appreciated.
