Hi,

I've recently been getting the WinFixer popup randomly and usually when browsing web pages. It asks me if I wish to scan or download, but still sends me to the winfixer web page when I click cancel or no. I've tried AdAware SE or some spyware removal programs as well as FixVundo but no luck. I'm guessing it requires alot more than that to remove this problem. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Here's my HJT log:

Please download Process Explorer by Systernals and extract it to your desktop. Do not run this now as we will use it later.


Download KillBox and extract it to your desktop. Do not run this now as we will use it later.


Download FixVundo.reg and save it to your desktop. Do not run this now as we will use it later.


Reboot your computer into Safe Mode


Double-click on procexp.exe which is the Process Explorer that we downloaded earlier.


In the top section of the Process Explorer screen double-click on winlogon.exe to bring up the winlogon.exe properties screen. Click on the Threads tab at the top.

Once you see this screen click on each instance of hggfe.dll and click on the kill button. If you see any files listed that are the same name but end with .bak or .ini or are the name in reverse, you can kill those as well. Example: efggh..bak
efggh.ini

After you have killed all of the instances of the DLL under winlogon click on the OK button.


Now double-click on explorer.exe, select the Threads tab, and again click once on each instance of the DLL you determined to be part of the infection. Once they are highlighted click on the Kill button like you did before. If you have disabled the BHO (O2) in some manner, you will not find this dll listed in this step and can move on.


When this is done, click on the OK button again.


Now run HijackThis again, close all windows, and press the Scan button.
Place a check next to each of these entries.

Once all the entries are checked, press the Fix button and then exit HijackThis.


Now double-click on the FixVundo.reg file that you downloaded earlier and allow it to merge the information.


Double-click on Killbox.exe that you downloaded and extracted earlier. Select the delete on reboot option. Then enter the full path to the DLL that is part of this infection into the Full path of file to delete field.

D:\WINDOWS\System32\hggfe.dll


Click the red circle with the white X and select Yes to the delete prompt but NO to reboot now. Then add the c:\windows\system32\scvhost.exe file if it exists and press the red circle with the white X and select Yes to the delete prompt and then Yes to reboot now.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

OK, thanks a bunch; I did what you said without any issues. So far, everything seems to be running fine, and I have yet to encounter any pop-ups. In the meantime, here's the new logfile:

I suggest you do this:

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:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Security Management] winamp.exe

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



1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
6. A box will display the various files you can remove.
Check all boxes except compress old files (If listed)
7. Click OK and windows will comply.

Restart your computer.

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

So far so good. No problems.

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. :D

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
by Tony Klein



You need to update to Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and wasting our time. Click here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa…p1/default.mspx
Apply the updates.
(DO NOT INSTALL SP2)

Thanks alot for your help, I very much appreciate it. I'll have to get back to updating my anti-virus and setting up my firewall to prevent any future issues like you say. I'll also look over the other programs and updates you suggested. I was particularly interested in how you said just to update to SP1 and not SP2 because I thought there might have been issues with some of the SP updates, so I didn't bother updating at all. I'll have to do that soon. Anyways, thanks again :) .
