Post #1
I need help with fixes in my hjt log. I recently discovered the trojan downloader conhook in my ad aware scan. I ran the vundo fix on the file qomlm.dll and my scans no longer see any trouble. I am now not sure what to fix in the hjt log below. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Download Ewido
  • Download and install Ewido Security Suite It is a free 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
NEXT
======
Update Ewido
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 Ewido manual updates

NEXT
======
Ewido Scan
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.**
    o You will need to step through the process of cleaning files one-by-one.
    o If ewido detects a file you KNOW to be legitimate, select none as the action.
    o DO NOT select "Perform action on all infections"
    o 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")


Reboot and post the ewido log as well as a new hijackthis log please.

Click Start -> Run -> (type) services.msc

Scroll down and find the service called Microsoft Distributed Transaction When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button(if available), then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

Follow those same steps with these services also.

System32
System64
Server Runtime Service
DynamicHost (DLHOST)
Local Security Authority Subsystem Service


Next run Hijackthis and click on Open the Misc Tools section -> Delete an NT Service
Copy and paste this into the text box and click OK.

csrss32


Do the same with these these.

DLHOST
lsass
MSDT

Download the Pocket Killbox >>> http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip

Unzip the contents of KillBox.zip to a convenient location and then double-click on KillBox.exe to launch the program.
Highlight the lines below and press the Ctrl key and the C key at the same time to copy them to the clipboard:

F:\WINDOWS\csr.exe
F:\WINDOWS\dlhost.exe
F:\WINDOWS\lsass.exe
F:\WINDOWS\msdt.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\bin32\services.exe

Now go to the Killbox application and click on the File menu and then the Paste from Clipboard menu item. In the Full Path of File to Delete box you should see the first file. If you dropdown that box you should see the rest of them. Make sure that they are all there.
Click on the Delete on Reboot option and then click on the red circle with a white 'X' in to to delete the files. Killbox will tell you that all listed files will be deleted on next reboot, click YES. When it asks if you would like to Reboot now, click YES. If you get a "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Removed by External Process!" message then just restart manually.
Your system will reboot now.


After reboot please post a new hijackthis log, from normal mode if possible.

Ok, on step 1 I was able to disable all but Server Runtime Service–because I didn't see it listed–only thing similar was Server. On step 2, I deleted all NT services but csrss32–It says it wasn't found in the registry. With KillBox is was only able to delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\bin32\services.exe all others listed would not show up in the clipboard. I even tried copying them but it still didn't recognize any as files. Thanks alot for all the help.
