ok, about to reboot in safemode and follow those steps. I know C:\WINDOWS\system.ini did not have Quote:
Shell=Explorer.exe, C:\WINDOWS\system32\ogsfa.exe
UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Userinit.exe,ybajkqd.exe
when i was looking earlier. Should i post what it has to make sure i am in right folder? I will follow the rest of the steps out anyway.

Yes, post what's in there (C:\WINDOWS\system.ini)

[trucomputer_newb]

Could not find those files in system.ini Killbox.exe would not allow me to select the "unregister dll. before deleting". Ran it anyway.

[LDTate]

Can you see both these files listed?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ogsfa.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Userinit.exe,ybajkqd.exe

[trucomputer_newb]

did a search in my folders. ogsfa.exe and ybajkqd.exe were both found in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and C:\!KillBox

[LDTate]

did a search in my folders. ogsfa.exe and ybajkqd.exe were both found in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and C:\!KillBox

Delete them and reboot. Lets see if there are still listed in your HJT log.

[trucomputer_newb]

ogsfa.exe could only be deleted in the killbox folder and not the system32. Rebooted in safemode to see if it could be removed there, it was never found in my search. ybajkqd.exe could be deleted from the killbox folder and system32. After reboot, searched for it again and it was back in the system32 folder but not killbox folder.

Backup your Registry...
- Press "CTRL - ALT - DEL" keys all at the same time to start "Task Manager"
- In the Task Manager window click on "File", then from the drop-down menu select "New Task (Run...)"
- In the "Create New Task" window enter\type "regedit" (without quotes)
- Once Regedit opens click on the FILE menu and select Export
- Save the file as backup. Save the file somewhere you will remember and not delete.
IMPORTANT: make sure to set the export range to ALL




Click "Start"> "Run"> type in Regedit tap Enter Key

Make sure "My Computer" is highlighted

Click "Edit"> "Find"
Type in ogsfa.exe tap Enter Key.
Right Click on the file if found and select "Delete"

Tap the "F3" Key to find the next entry of the file. Continue using the "F3" Key until it's finished searching.

Do the same for this one:
ybajkqd.exe

Close Regedit.


Empty Recycle Bin

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

[trucomputer_newb]

Computer would not startup after last changes, haha. On someone elses computer now. The startup proceeds like normal, once at windows desktop, (no desktop icons are displayed, etc. just the wallpaper) it suddenly backs me out to the welcome screen before it. Welcome screen is displayed before my desktop opens. (usually the welcome screen is a bit of a wait, now it just flashed right through it, but goes back to it as mentioned). Back at the welcome screen it ask which user to log on with. There is only one user- "compaq_user". (never have to select which user i want to log on as, unless in safemode.) I select the compaq_user and it says "logging off, saving settings" just beneathe the name, and nothing happens. Can not check for your next post for about 14hrs.

[LDTate]

Restart your computer in Safe Mode.

Press F8 after the Power-On Self Test (POST) is done. If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, try restarting and then pressing F8 several times after the POST screen.
Choose the Safe Mode option from the Windows Advanced Options Menu then press Enter.

This will take several minutes. Just let it do it's thing.

Once it's up and running in Safe Mode:
click Start> Run> type in Cleanmgr. Tap enter and select C: to clean.

Reboot normal.

If all goesd well:
"copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

[trucomputer_newb]

The same happens while trying to start windows in safemode. Once i select which user i want to log on as, it says, "saving settings, etc" just beneath user name and stays idle. I forgot to mention that right after i deleted the registry keys for ogsfa.exe and ybajkqd.exe, winpatrol prompted me with "ogsfa.exe wants to start up your next startup, will you allow this?" i said "no". I did not think that program was required to start the computer and i thought it was part of the malware we are tying to remove.

[LDTate]

ogsfa.exe and ybajkqd.exe aren't even real files. You can always use Google to see if a file even exist. Neither show anything in a Google search.

Do you have your Windows OS CD?

[LDTate]

T

he same happens while trying to start windows in safemode. Once i select which user i want to log on as, it says, "saving settings, etc" just beneath user name and stays idle.

Safe Mode can take 5 - 10 mins to fully start. Are you giving it enough time?

[trucomputer_newb]

I do not know the correct computer terms, but i am willing to "start the computer from scratch." I do not know how to do this. There is nothing on the computer of importance. Is this possible?

[LDTate]

Read my last 2 post. I think we poste dat the same time.
