So McAfee keeps telling me that it found it and deleted it, and whenever I scan my computer everything checks out. But a couple hours later, McAfee tells me that it found it again and deleted it. So pretty much, I am confused and concerned. (In advance, you guys are amazing and thank you so much for helping people like this!).

geoff.s :D

Welcome to Tom Coyote . Sorry about the delay in responding but we are as most times just overwhelmed with logs.

You are using a very outdated version of HJT that is not showing me the whole picture, you need to update it and post a new log.

Hijackthis 1.99.1
Its important that Hijackthis is installed in its own permanent folder for backup purposes.
  • Go to where you currently have HJT installed and delete the whole folder.
  • Use the link above or the links in my signature to download HJT 1.99.1 setup to your desktop
  • Double Click on the Setup icon and by defaut it will unzip to C:\Program Files\Hijackthis
  • Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
  • Go to Edit> Select All…..Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread.
  • Please use the [external image: Posted Image] Button and not the New Topic Button
DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Hello Geoff,

We need to make sure all hidden files are showing :
  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • Select the View tab.
  • Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
  • Uncheck the Hide file extensions for known types option.
  • Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.
Once your system is clean, we suggest that you reverse this to keep critical windows files from accidently being deleted.




Download and install the 30 day trial of AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 to your desktop.

Boot your computer into Safemode
  • Go to Start> Shut Off your Computer> Restart
  • As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the F8 KEY somewhat rapidly.
  • This will bring up a menu.
  • Use the Up and Down Arrow Keys to scroll up to SAFEMODE
  • Then press the Enter on your Keyboard
Tutorial if you need it How to boot into Safemode




  • Launch AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
  • Select the Scanner icon at the top and then the Scan tab then click on Complete System Scan.
  • AVG will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
  • Once the scan is complete do the following:
  • If you have any infections you will prompted, then select Apply all actions
  • Next select the Reports icon at the top.
  • Select the Save report as button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system
  • make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important
  • Close AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning process:



Still in Safemode, look for and delete these files


C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmfubits.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\zlcocard.dll

These you will have to search for, they can be in either C:\, C:\windows or C:\windows\system32

alrsbatt.dll
e1.dll




Reboot normally and run this system cleaner

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
  • This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  • Under Main choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
Your system may start up slower after running ATF Cleaner, this is expected but will be back to normal after the first or second boot up


I need to see the AVG Report and a New HJT log please.

Thank you so much. Just so you know, I did encounter two problems, though.

1. When fixing the things you told me to fix in HijackThis, HJT told me that an "unexpected error occured" when trying to fix O20 - AppInit_DLLs: e1.dll alrsbatt.dll . I did another scan, but it didn't show up anymore.

2. After the AVG scan, still in safe mode, you told me to locate four files and delete them. However, I was unable to find any of the four. I first used the "search" option, with no results, and also went to My Computer -> C:\ -> WINDOWS (and WINDOWS -> System32). They were these four files:

mmfubits.dll
zlocard.dll
alrsbatt.dll
e1.dll

I did find a couple files with similar names (mmfutil.dll, mmfubits.z1, alrsvc.dll) but didn't delete those or anything.

Besides those two problems, everything went smoothly and hopefully I am worm-free. Here are the AVG and HJT logs:

Hey,

If you look at your AVG log you will see most of what it found where cookies and files backed up in your System Restore Program.

First, open AVG and go to the Quarantince folder and delete it all, nothing in there you want to keep.

Then lets flush out your System Restore, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to create a new Restore point.




System Restore makes regular backups of all your settings, if you ever had to use this program to restore your
system to a previous date, you will be infected all over again so we need to clean out the previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore.
  • Right-click My Computer.
  • Click Properties.
  • Click the System Restore tab.
  • Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
  • Click Apply, and then click OK.
Reboot your System

Turn ON System Restore.
  • Right-click My Computer.
  • ClickProperties.
  • Click the System Restore tab.
  • UN-Check Turn off System Restore on all Drives.
  • Click Apply, and then click OK.
Create a new Restore Point <– Very Important
  • Go to Start/ Control Panel/ Performance and Maintenance/ System Restore/ Create a New Restore Point
    You can name the restore point anything you like, something that you can remember, You will have to be in Catagory View to see this


Download Pocket Killbox to your desktop, unzip it to a folder that you can find

C:\WINDOWS\system32\alrsbatt.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\e1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmfubits.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\zlcocard.dll


Highlight all the files with the complete path inside the quote and press Ctrl C on your keyboard.
  • Open Pocket Killbox
  • Go to File > Paste from clipboard
  • Set it to Delete on Reboot
  • Tick the box that says End Explorer shell while killing file
  • If its not greyed out..Click the radio button that say Unregister .dll before deleting.
  • Make sure ALL Files is selected
  • Click on the Red circle with the white X
  • It will ask you to confirm the deletion…Say yes
  • It will ask you to reboot, say yes
If you get a message "pending operations has been stopped by external process!" then reboot the computer manually.



Post a new HJT log and lets make sure nothing has come back. The rest of your log looks good :thumbup: How is your computer behaving now???

All done. Thank you so much! My computer is running good. Every since I did what you told me to, McAfee hasn't popped up saying that it's found and deleted a file infected with that Stration worm thing. That tells me that my computer is better. =)

Good Morning Geoff :D

  • Your Java is out of date and leaving your system vulnerable.
  • Go to your Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall any previous versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment)
  • It should have an icon next to it:
    [external image: Posted Image]
    Select it and click Remove.
  • Reboot your system.
  • Then go to the Sun Java website and download and install the update.
  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10 <–This is what you need to download and install.
  • If you chose the online installation, it will prompt you to run the program.
  • If you chose the offline installation, you will be prompted to save the file and you can run it from wherever you saved it.
  • Then after install you can verify your installation here Sun Java Verify
I like to to do the offline installation and save the setup file in case I may need it in the future




The rest of your log looks fine :thumbup:

  • Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06
    Check for Updates and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis.
  • Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.
  • Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
  • Win Patrol This program will warn you when any changes are being made to your system and give you the option to deny the change.
  • IE-Spyad
    IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • Firefox 2.0 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
  • Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't access the internet without it.
Thanks for stopping by Tom Coyote , I'm glad I was able to help you. :D
