Post #1
I recently discovered an unknown BHO in HTJ that I would like to get rid of. I'm also having trouble totally cleaning McAfee off my system. I think this BHO is McAfee's doing. I tried to get rid of it by fixing it in HJT and disabling system restore, but that did't work. If you see any other entries in my log that are unnecessary, your comments would be most welcome.

Welcome to the forum Patrick :wavey:

Teatimer will stop you from removing any BHO.

You must disable it first.

How to Disable Teatimer

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

Other programs you'll need to temporarily "disable":

Disable SpywareGuard:
You have SpywareGuard installed. While this is a great program, we need to temporarily disable (not uninstall) the program because it might stop our fix.
  • Right click the running icon ofSpywareGuard, it will open the program.
  • Then go to Menu, file, exit.
  • Then confirm the program is closed.
After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable SpywareGuard again.

Disable Trojan Hunter Guard:
Please disable Trojan Hunter Guard, as it may interfere with the fix.
To disable Trojan Hunter Guard:
  • Go to TrojanHunter Guard in the lower right corner of your screen. It is a light blue icon with a magnifying glass that can be difficult to see but the handle is red.
  • Right click it and select settings. Uncheck "Load at startup" and "Enabled"
Once your log is clean you can re-enable Trojan Hunter Guard.

Disable Microsoft Windows Defender:
We need to disable your Microsoft Windows Defender Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.
  • Open Microsoft Windows Defender. Click Start, Programs, Windows Defender
  • Click on Tools, General Settings.
  • Under Real-time protection options, unselect the Turn on real-time protection check box
  • Click Save
After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.

I see an entry from McAfee that you'd probably like to remove:

O23 - Service: McAfee SpamKiller Server (MskService) - McAfee Inc. - C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\SPAMKI~1\MSKSrvr.exe

To get rid of it, please do this:

Copy the text in the following quote box into Notepad:

sc stop MskService
sc delete MskService


Save it to your desktop as ff.bat.

Now, the ff.bat file on the desktop.

A DOS window will briefly open, then close.

Then, "fix" that entry with HijackThis! if it still appears.

Close all browser windows.

Other things you can "fix" with HijackThis! are:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {41D68ED8-4CFF-4115-88A6-6EBB8AF19000} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "realsched.exe" -osboot

O16 - DPF: {A3009861-330C-4E10-822B-39D16EC8829D} -

O16 - DPF: {BCC0FF27-31D9-4614-A68E-C18E1ADA4389} -

O16 - DPF: {C2FCEF52-ACE9-11D3-BEBD-00105AA9B6AE} -

O16 - DPF: {EF791A6B-FC12-4C68-99EF-FB9E207A39E6} -

Then reboot.

Make a new log file…

Does it look "better" this time?
:unsure:
Post #3
I followed the instructions carefully and everything seemed removed without a hitch; until I rebooted. Everything went right back the way it was (except the o23 McAfee entry), and that was with system restore off. :scratch:

System restore isn't the problem here.

Please turn it back on, and create a restore point (for your own protection):

Go to:

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore

And create a restore point.

I believe these are the programs that are/could be inhibiting the removal of that orphaned BHO:

O2 - BHO: SpywareGuard Download Protection - {4A368E80-174F-4872-96B5-0B27DDD11DB2} - C:\Program Files\SpywareGuard\dlprotect.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Run StartupMonitor] StartupMonitor.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Defender] "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe"

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinPatrol] C:\Program Files\BillP Studios\WinPatrol\winpatrol.exe

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SpybotSD TeaTimer] C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe

Find a way to temporarily turn them off.

Reboot.

Make a HijackThis! log file to be CERTAIN none of those appear.

Once you have all those programs switched off, fix the O2 with HijackThis!, then reboot and make a log file to be certain it is gone.

Once it is gone (after a reboot), reboot once more and check again to be sure it's gone.

Then turn back on your "defenses" and reboot and check again.

I know it's a "pain in the neck", but those programs not only inhibit malware from changing your system, they can stop you from making legitimate corrections as well…

I shut off all defenses (the O4's you mentioned). Everything was disabled and verified with hjt. I "fixed" the entries. They stayed fixed through 4 reboots to make sure. I re-enabled my defenses and they all came back. I repeated the above process, only I re-enabled the defenses one at a time, rebooting each time. The problem is Tea Timer. I can fix the entries and they will stay off through 6 reboots. The instant I enable Tea Timer, they're all right back. No need to reboot; it puts them back instantly. How do I configure Tea Timer to allow the changes? Does it keep a backup somewhere?
Post #6
Here is a log with all defenses enabled EXCEPT TeaTimer, just so you can see that they are being removed.

Post #7
I found another link:

Teatimer Help

From that link:

When Tea timer exits, it takes a snapshot of the registry keys it monitors and on its restart will attempt to restore the Registry keys to the state it was in when the snapshot was taken. There is a chance that the snapshot may include registry keys created by Malware unknown to Tea timer.

To delete the Tea timer registry snapshot file, browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Snapshots and delete all the files inside the folder Snapshots. The Tea timer will take a fresh snapshot and recreate these files when it is restarted.

So, after you're sure Teatimer is "off", even after a reboot, delete all the files in the folder Snapshots, as suggested above.

Give that a try, and let me know if you're successful.
:)

That was it. I suspected Spybot kept a backup, but I couldn't find it. Thank you for helping me work through this. You learn something new every day.
