Adware slowing down my machine

I have also lost the note pad on this computer. I have ran Adaware and Spybot which cleaned up a lot but something is still slowing down my machine. HJT log follows.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

You are infected with an About:Blank infection. Please follow these directions carefully.

Step#1:Getting Ready


Please save these instructions to WordPad so that you have them accessible while following the steps. You also may want to print out these directions as the Internet will not be available.

After downloading the tools, you must disconnect from the internet totally, because staying connected while fixing will prevent the fix from working. Also please keep Internet Explorer and Outlook Express closed throughout as opening either will reinstall the infection.

To replace Internet Explorer to use during this fix, please use Internet Explorer once to download and install FireFox, to be used as your alternate browser throughout this fix.

Close Outlook Express and Internet Explorer for the duration of this fix

Read through all the instructions so that you can ask any questions now, before you disconnect from the Internet.

Please start by downloading the tools you will need to clean this infection, using FireFox. If you have a problem or question with any please continue to follow the list step by step to the end and ask the questions when you are asked to reply. Just be sure to let us know what the problem was when you finally reply.


Step#2:Show All Hidden Files Very Important

Please download and open the following zip file. Double-click on the file inside the zip and when it asks you if you would like to merge the file into your registry, please answer yes. This will make sure all files are visible on your computer.
http://www.davehigham.zen.co.uk/downloads/xphidden.zip


Step#3:Download CWShredder Do Not Use Yet

1. Please Download the most recent version of CWShredder, from CWSInstall.exe

2. Check for Updates but please Do NOT use it yet



Step#4:Download About Buster Do Not Use Yet

1. Please download About:Buster from here.

2. Once it is downloaded extract it to c:\aboutbuster.

3. Check to make sure it is up-to-date. Please Do NOT use it yet

Step#5:Download Registrar Registry Manager Do Not Use Yet

Another program to download is Registrar Registry Manager for use later: Please download Registrar Registry Manager and install it to C:\Program Files\RegLite\ . This is a registry editor that is very easy to use. Caution should be exercised when editing the registry as it is very easy to render a Computer unbootable by deleting the wrong key

Step#6:Download Ewido Anti Malware Do Not Use Yet

• Download and install Ewido anti malware
• Right Click on the “E” icon in your taskbar and open Ewido Anti Mlaware then click “update” to get the most recent definitions for it to use.
• When it prompts you to update, click the OK button.
• download the updates and when they are finished installing, close the window

Step#7:Download A Registry File to Remove Registry Entries Do Not Use Yet

• Please download the following zip file to your desktop:
  HSfix
• Double Click on HSfix.zip and it will unzip to a new folder it makes on your desktop, called HSfix
• Do Not Use It Yet

Please disconnect from the Internet




Step#8:Disable The Bad Service ** Very Important!!**

• Reboot your computer into Safe Mode by tapping F8 while booting up and continue for the rest of the fix in SAFE MODE
  
• Click on start > control panel > administrative programs > services. Look for a service called FUXCOX - Prism Microsystems, Inc.. Double click on that service and click stop and then set the startup to disabled. Also write down the name and path of the file listed in the Path to executable field. This filename must be deleted below.

Step#9:Stop The Running Processes

desbyhdw.exe
Pu.exe
irwuftj.exe
mpjh.exe
jawa32.exe
IlRqW.exe
bhqcyq.exe

Step#10:Delete About Blank Bad Files

I now need you to delete the following files:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\desbyhdw.exe
C:\documents and settings\default\local settings\temp\Pu.exe
C:\WINDOWS\irwuftj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\mpjh.exe
C:\WINDOWS\jawa32.exe
c:\windows\system32\IlRqW.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\bhqcyq.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetp60.exe

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. if it is uncheck it and try again.



Step#11:Cleaning With HijackThis

Now, Open HijackThis, click the "Scan" button, and put a checkmark next to each of these entries:


R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.rr.com
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page_bak = about:blank

O19 - User stylesheet: (file missing)
O23 - Service: FUXCOX - Prism Microsystems, Inc. - c:\winnt\system32\qossrv\aysshell.exe




Close all open windows and click 'fix checked' button when ready.




Step#12: Backup The Registry


1. Open Registrar Registry Manager and run it.

2. Copy and paste the bold text below into the address bar of Registrar Registry Manager:(this is making a Registry backup for safety in case of error)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\

1.) Winkey.reg (Save as type: regedit4 .reg type)
2.) Winkey.hiv (Save as type: Scroll to select-regetd32/WinAPI *hiv *dat files)






Step#13: Use the HSfix.reg file

• Navigate to the HSfix folder on your Desktop
• Then double-click on the HSfix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say yes, and this will clear some registry entries left behind by the process.
• if you have a popup from any of your protection programs asking if you want to make a change to the registry, say Yes or Accept it

Step#14:Fixing With CWShredder

• CLOSE ALL WINDOWS except CWShredder
  
• Run the program by clicking 'fix' and letting it fix all CWS remnants.

Step#15:Fixing With About Buster

This is the step where we will use About:Buster that you had downloaded previously.

• Navigate to the c:\aboutbuster directory
• double-click on aboutbuster.exe
• When the tool opens press the OK button, then Start button, then the OK button
• then finally the Yes button. It will start scanning your computer for files.
• If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
• Post the log file in your next reply

Step#16:Scan With Ewido Anti Malware

• Launch Ewido again
  
• Click on Scanner>Complete System Scan.
  
• Let the program scan your PC.
  
• When the scan asks to clean files click OK.
  
• When scan is completed, click Save report. to your desktop.
  
• Post the report in your next reply.

Reboot your computer back to normal mode and

Reconnect To The Internet



Step#17:Scan and Post a New HJT log with other logs

• Scan again with HijackThis.
  
• Post your logs from HijackThis, About Buster, and Ewido Anti Malware here in this thread with any questions or problems that you have run into.
  
• There are still some steps that are necessary to clear out all of the malware. There will be necessary files that it has deleted that will need to be replaced.

Good Luck!
