Excellent news!!! :D

I still haven't had an answer regarding the registry fix. In the meantime, I'd like to make sure that the files are there, and are in the right place.

Please look for the following files (N.B. These are not the ones in the 'bak' folders):

C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Coresmax4pnp.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Works Shared\WkUFind.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sonic\Update Manager\sgtray.exe
C:\Program Files\Intel\Modem Event Monitor\IntelMEM.exe
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\bin\jusched.exe
C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\Musicmatch Jukebox\bak\mmtask.exe
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe
C:\Program Files\Verizon Online\Help Support\SmartBridge\MotiveSB.exe
C:\Program Files\Verizon Online\Help Support\VerizonSupport.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\dla\tfswctrl.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\hkcmd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\igfxpers.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\igfxtray.exe

Please let me know which are there and which are not. Please also post a new HijackThis log.

Thanks - just what I wanted. I'd been going back over what we did and was worried that the file copying hadn't worked. Your reply confirms that. I need you to run a small batch file to put the files into place. The HijackThis log appears clean. :D

Select the contents of the Quote Box below and copy/paste into Notepad

@echo off

copy "C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Core\bak\smax4pnp.exe" "C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Core"

copy "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Works Shared\bak\WkUFind.exe" "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Works Shared"

del replace.bat

Still in Notepad, go to Format (upper menu bar) and untick Word Wrap
Go to File (upper menu bar), and select: Save as
In the Save as prompt:
Save in: Desktop
File Name: replace.bat
Save as Type: Any file
Click: Save
Exit out of Notepad.

On the Desktop, double-click on replace.bat

Let me know if you have any problems.

Well done. I've now had my registry fix approved. This will reinstate the registry entries that were removed during the fixes and scans. This should put everything back as it should be but, if you find that any programs don't appear to work properly, you will need to uninstall and re-install them.

————————————————————–

First, we need to backup your Windows Registry:

Backup the Windows Registry
  • Download Erunt to your desktop from here
  • Double-click on the file to install the program
  • Accept the installation defaults
  • During the installation, tick Launch Erunt
  • Erunt will then backup your registry
————————————————————

Next, we will re-instate the missing registry entries:
  • Select the contents of the Quote Box below, right-click and copy it, then paste into Notepad
  • Make sure that Word Wrap is turned off in Notepad - (click the Format menu and uncheck Word Wrap)
  • Click Save As on the File menu and name the file fix.reg
  • Change the Save as Type to All Files
  • Save the file on your desktop
  • Close Notepad and make sure that all other windows are closed

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SoundMAXPnP"="C:\\Program Files\\Analog Devices\\Core\\smax4pnp.exe"
"IntelMeM"="C:\\Program Files\\Intel\\Modem Event Monitor\\IntelMEM.exe"
"UpdateManager"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Sonic\\Update Manager\\sgtray.exe\" /r"
"dla"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\dla\\tfswctrl.exe"
"Motive SmartBridge"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\VERIZO~1\\HELPSU~1\\SMARTB~1\\MotiveSB.exe"
"mmtask"="\"C:\\Program Files\\MUSICMATCH\\Musicmatch Jukebox\\mmtask.exe\""
"QuickTime Task"="\"C:\\Program Files\\QuickTime\\qttask.exe\" -atboottime"
"Microsoft Works Update Detection"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Works Shared\\WkUFind.exe"
"igfxtray"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\igfxtray.exe"
"igfxhkcmd"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\hkcmd.exe"
"igfxpers"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\igfxpers.exe"
"A Verizon App"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\VERIZO~1\\HELPSU~1\\VERIZO~1.EXE"
"SunJavaUpdateSched"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_09\\bin\\jusched.exe\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\IMAIL]
"Installed"="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MAPI]

"NoChange"="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS]
"Installed"="1"

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Srv32 spool service]

Important:
  • Make sure there are NO blank lines before REGEDIT4
  • Make sure there is one blank line at the end of the file
  • Make sure that you have copied all of the text (e.g. don't miss the first 'R')
Then double-click on the fix.reg file, and when it prompts to merge say Yes

Reboot your computer

I'll look into this and get back to you. This was one of the programs/registry entries we had to reinstate.

Apart from the above, it's looking good, but I'd like to get another Kaspersky scan to check that there's nothing lurking.

Kaspersky Online Scanner

Using Internet Explorer, click on Kaspersky Online Scanner
  • You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click 'Yes'.
  • The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click 'Next'.
  • Now click on 'Scan Settings'
  • In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database: 'Extended' (If available, otherwise 'Standard')
    • Scan Options: 'Scan Archives' and 'Scan Mail Bases'
  • Click 'OK'
  • Now under 'Select a target to scan' select 'My Computer'
  • The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete, it will display whether your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the 'Save as Text' button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
Please post the Kaspersky report as a reply to this thread.

The Kaspersky report is clean!!! :D :D The only "infected" items are related to our fixes - we will be deleting them shortly. I think that you can start feeling a bit optimistic about this. Thank you for staying with me through this - it can't have been easy for you! This was a very nasty set of infections and we can't guarantee that we have got rid of every trace of it. However, things are looking pretty good! I will look into the Motive Smartbridge problem, but I'm confident that we can solve that one fairly simply. I suggest that you run a McAfee scan. Please let me know if it comes up with anything. It's time for bed here in the UK. Goodnight!

Good morning.

Motive Smartbridge: This is installed as part of Verizon Online Support. It has been known to cause popups and it is not necessary for it to run at startup. I suggest that you disable it. If you want to do this:

Run HijackThis and click Scan and then check (tick) the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Motive SmartBridge] C:\PROGRA~1\VERIZO~1\HELPSU~1\SMARTB~1\MotiveSB.exe

Close down all programs, browsers and other open windows. Make sure that only the above items are checked and then click on Fix checked.

Reboot your computer.

—————————————————————————

For future reference:

If you get any problems because of Motive Smartbridge not running, or if you wish to re-instate it for any other reason, you can restore the entry with HijackThis. I suggest that you copy these instructions and save them as a text file, for future reference.
  • Open HijackThis
  • Click on the Open the Misc Tools section
  • Click on Backups
  • Select the following line:
    • O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Motive SmartBridge] C:\PROGRA~1\VERIZO~1\HELPSU~1\SMARTB~1\MotiveSB.exe
  • Click on Restore on the right-hand side of the screen
This will restore the entry.

————————————————————————

Please could you let me know how the computer is running and whether you are having any problems.
