Hi flak.

ComboFix by sUBs
  • Download this file - combofix.exe
  • Close all open windows.
  • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Please split the log into separate posts, if necessary, to ensure that they don't get cut off. It is important that I see the full log.

Please also post a new HijackThis log.

Hi flak.

Select the contents of the Code Box below, right-click and copy it, then paste into Notepad.

@echo off
sc stop "Windows Management Service"
sc delete "Windows Management Service"
if exist "C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.exe" del /q "C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.exe"
if exist "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmhiy.exe" del /q "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmhiy.exe"
del beynac.bat
exit
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: beynac.bat
Save as Type: All files
Click: Save
Exit out of Notepad.

On the Desktop, double-click on beynac.bat. A window will open and close - this is normal.

——————————————————–

Run HijackThis and click Scan and then check (tick) the following, if present (don't worry if any are missing):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SemanticInsight] C:\Program Files\RXToolBar\Semantic Insight\SemanticInsight.exe
O23 - Service: Windows Management Service - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmhiy.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.

Hi flak.

There was no folder called RXToolBar there. Do I still need to continue with the rest?

Yes please! That isn't a problem - but thanks for letting me know.
Post #10
Sorry about the slow reply. I'm in safe mode with AVGAS open, trouble is the screen resolution has changed and I can't see all of the options to see if boxes are ticked as they are off the screen. Can't change the screen res either. :unsure:

Hi flak.

The 'bad' service is still in your HijackThis log. Let's get tough with it!

———————————————————————–

Please download Killbox and save it to your desktop: http://www.killbox.net/downloads/KillBox.exe

Do not use it yet.

———————————————————————–

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

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 that Run fixit is checked and then 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).

At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.

Next, click on Start, then Run, type cmd and click OK. A command prompt (black window) will open.
Type ipconfig /flushdns (that space between g and / is needed)
Hit the Enter key, type exit then hit Enter again.

Now lets check some settings on your system.

Click on Start and then Control Panel.
If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double-click on Network Connections.
Then right-click on your default connection, usually Local Area Connection, and left-click on Properties. Click the Networking tab.
Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio button that says Obtain DNS servers automatically.
Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.

Hi beynac,
I dont have the Networking tab? It's a wireless connection. Should I just carry on?
