Hi, my computer is filled with so many spyware and whatnot. I have this red balloon that says my computer is infected and I know it's a virus or something similar, also, I have Symantec NAV and these e-mail scanner pop ups don't stop coming, I get about hundreds of them, it's nasty. I used NAV and Ad-Aware but still they keep coming. Please help. My boyfriend will get mad if he finds out that I messed up his computer. These things are giving me PMS!! lo. This computer runs on Windows XP SP1 (I can't even update to SP2 because the malware keeps stopping my internet connection, and wont let windows update my computer. Thanx in advance and here's the HJT log.

Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.


(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.

Next:

Download AVG Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your
desktop.
This is a 30 day trial of the program

    Update now    " link.
    • Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a

  • Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab
    then click on "Complete System Scan".
  • ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little
    time.

    actions    "

Hope I don't have any more bad stuff. Thank you very much for your help :)
Post #5
You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Next:
AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5

From the system tray:
Right-click the system tray icon and uncheck real time protection.
or
From within AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5-
Under 'Your security status', if the real time protection is active, deactivate it by clicking 'real time protection' until the status says 'inactive'.



Next:
With AVG Anti-Spyware, if you click on the Infections icon, then it will show you all the items in Quarrantine and you can remove them that way. Just click Select All (if all of the items in quarrantine need removing) then Remove Finally


Next:
launch Notepad (Start>All Programs>Accessories), and copy/paste all the BOLD REGEDIT below to it. Don't forget to include REGEDIT4.
Save in: Desktop
File Name: fixme.reg
Save as Type: All files
Click: Save

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\winsys2freg]

On the desktop, doubleclick fix.reg and allow it to run. Let it merge.


Next:
Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{A92692A4-FF1A-48CD-BD3F-56E08E8EE403}: NameServer = 85.255.115.106,85.255.112.111
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.115.106 85.255.112.111

O20 - Winlogon Notify: winsys2freg - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Settings\winsys2f.dll (file missing)

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"




Delete these Files if listed:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\VXGA5ME3.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\VXGA4ME1.EXE


Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads a text that will open (report.txt) Please save this file, you'll need to post it with a new HijackThis log.



Next:
Click Start> Run> type in CMD tap enter key
Copy/Paste: ipconfig /flushdns <– Note the space between g /f. It needs to be there.


Now lets check some settings on your system.
Enter your Control Panel and double-click on Network Connections

Then right click on your Default Connection
Usually Local Area Connection for Cable and DSL
Left click on Properties
Double-Click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item
Select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS Servers Automatically
Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks




Reboot and "copy/paste" the text file (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Please use the [external image: Posted Image] Button below to reply.

Thanx again!

Did all that, and here are the text files you wanted me to copy/paste :)

By the way, do I have to change "Hide protected operating system files." and all the other stuff that I changed, back to normal?

Thanks again :)

By the way, my computer seems a little faster than it was before, although when I ran HijackThis, it took a bit longer than usual to finish up.

You can remove any programs I had you install.

Log looks good :D


You need to create a new Clean restore point.

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Restart your computer, turn it back on.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Remove the Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.



If you dont have any programs like these, I would recommend that you get them.
Spywareblaster,
Spywareguard.
IE Spyads
They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening.

Also get a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing. :D

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
