Hey folks, I really appreciate the site you've got going here. Anyway, I am getting popups; spybot, ad aware, and the micro-trend spyware scanner have all failed. Here is my hjl:

I alreaddy deleted a "toolbar" line from this, probably should've come here first, but since I'm not using any second-party toolbars, I figured it might be the problem, but it didn't help.


Take a look seewhatcha think, any advice will be appreciated.

TIA

Hello and welcome to TomCoyote forum. This is the Vundo trojan, if you will follow the directions it can be removed.

First: Move HJT from the Desktop for safety. I prefer C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe, if you need additional instructions use these: http://russelltexas....tehjtfolder.htm

Thanks to Atribune and any others who helped with this fix

Please print these instructions out for use in Safe Mode.

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.

• Double-click VundoFix.exe to extract the files
• This will create a VundoFix folder on your desktop.
• After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.
• Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat
• You will first be presented with a warning.
  It should look like this
  

  VundoFix V2.15 by Atri
  By using VundoFix you agree that you are doing so at your own risk
  Press enter to continue....
  
  

• At this point press enter one time.
  
• Next you will see:
  

  Please Type in the filepath as instructed by the forum staff
  and then press enter:

• At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutu.dll
• Press Enter to continue with the fix.
  
• Next you will see:
  

  Please type in the second filepath as instructed by the forum
  staff then press enter:

• At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):C:\WINDOWS\system32\ututv.*
  This will be the vundo filename spelt backwards. for example if the vundo dll was vundo.dll you would have the user enter odnuv.*
• Press Enter to continue with the fix.
• The fix will run then HijackThis will open, if it does not open automatically please open it manually.
• In HiJackThis, please place a check next to the following items and click FIX CHECKED:O2 - BHO: ATLDistrib Object - {93C6313C-9DB4-4694-8BD0-E378C573A9AD} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutu.dll
  O20 - Winlogon Notify: vtutu - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutu.dll
• After you have fixed these items, close Hijackthis.
• Press enter to exit the program then manually reboot your computer.
• Once your machine reboots please continue with the instructions below.

Download and install CleanUp!

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
Set the program up as follows:
Click "Options..."
Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):

• Empty Recycle Bins
• Delete Cookies
• Delete Prefetch files
• Cleanup! All Users

Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.

It may ask you to reboot at the end, click NO.

Then, please run this online virus scan: ActiveScan

Copy the results of the ActiveScan and paste them here along with a new HiJackThis log and the vundofix.txt file from the vundofix folder into this topic.

We may have more to do.

Thanks...pskelley

Hey, thanks for helping out!

I was unable to get the activescan to work, possibly because i don't know how to get the activex controls. I don't think I'm done yet tho, since the two lines that hijack this supposedly deleted are still there. Here is the log:

Here is the key information:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutu.dll Deleted sucessfully.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ututv.* Deleted sucessfully.

Since you could not run activescan, I want to clean good to make sure nothing is left. Please follow these directions.

First this: C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe is installed by aol usually along with other aol junk and normally without your knowledge. At the very least it is a resource waster. If you don't use it, I suggest we remove it. Start by uninstalling it in Add Remove programs and I will schedule the rest. Here is a little information:
http://www.greatis.c...viewmgr.exe.htm
http://www.bleepingc...r.exe-6093.html

1) 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.

2) 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")

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

(these are Dell clutter, click to see where they take you. You can keep them if you want or type Dell.com if you want Dell ads)
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.dell4me.com/myway

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: vtutu - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtutu.dll (file missing)

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

I see no spyware programs that could block our HJT fix. If Trend is blocking it you will need to go online and turn off Trend, run HJT then start Tread again before going back online. Try it once first to see if it works.

Enable hidden files&folders..reverse the process when finished.

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

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\ >>> folder

C:\Windows\Prefetch\ >>> delete everything in this folder (NOT THE FOLDER)
Prefetch info: http://www.windowsne...refetch-XP.html

Run your cleaner again just to be sure, then restart the computer and post one last HJT log along with the ewido scan results.

C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin\npjpi142_03.dll <<< Jave is out of date and a security issue.
Start > Control Panel > Java > update.

Thanks...Phil

When you are completely finished with the removal procedure and are satisfied that the threat has been removed follow these instructions:

I think this worked , although I will surf for a day or so before I'm sure: these popups seem to lay dormant for a few hours and then return. Spybot, Ad Aware, Ewido, Microsoft anti-spyware, Micro-trend scanner all turn up nothing. In any case, here are the files.

Thanks, Phil, you've been a great help.

I believe you are right a couple of items before I turn you loose for the New Years Eve celebrations.

1) Go ahead now and use the link to get fresh system restore files in case Vundo got backed up in SR.

2) Here are some ideas that may help overall performance:
http://vlaurie.com/c...s/runbetter.htm
http://www.linkgrind...rs_article.html

3) Much as I like ewido, and you can update and keep the scanner for as long as you like, unless you purchase it, it is a resource user. Remember to disable it so it is not running after the trial period.
I only suggest freeware programs.

4) Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
