I'm running Windows XP SP2 and I've got a pop-up problem that just won't go away. :scratch: I can tell when it's about to strike because my computer freezes for about a minute or so… Then pop! Ironically, it's often an ad for adware removal software. I've tried Norton, Advanced System Optimizer, Ad-Aware 2007, SpywareBlaster, WinPatrol, etc. They all find stuff, yet the problem remains.

Firefox is my default browser, but IE gets launched. Here's a list of the url's that popped today:

I also wanted to add that "C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmirlwxd.dll,forkonce" tries to add itself to my startup programs prior to popping. I Googled it but couldn't find any information.

Hi

:scratch:
These seem to be still left :
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Windows Update x86] firefox.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Windows Update x86] firefox.exe


Disable WinPatrol's realtime protection.
  • Right-click the running icon of Winpatrol in the system tray
  • Choose exit. It will automatically restart at next boot.

1. Download this file -
combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your
next reply with a fresh hjt log.

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause
it to stall

Hi again :)

Disable WinPatrol's realtime protection.
  • Right-click the running icon of Winpatrol in the system tray
  • Choose exit. It will automatically restart at next boot.


Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Folder::
F:\VundoFix Backups

Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Microsoft Windows Update x86"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\runservices]
"Microsoft Windows Update x86"=-


Save this as
CFScript


[external image: Posted Image]

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
Then post the resultant log & a fresh hjt log.
Post #10
Here you go…

The resultant ComboFix.exe log:

Hi

Seems to be very stubborn case

Download
SDFix
and save it to your desktop. (If you can't download with this computer try to get it downloaded on some other one.)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the
following :
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the
    Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press
    Enter
    .
  • Choose your usual account.
  • In Safe Mode, double click the SDFix.exe file. Click Install in appearing window,
  • Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to
    start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the script.
  • It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the
    registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool
    will be running and removing files.
  • When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and
    display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load
    your desktop icons.
  • Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the
    contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with
    a new HijackThis log

Still there. Let's try fixing in safe mode next.

Reboot into safe mode (press F8 before loading screen and select safe mode).

Disable WinPatrol's realtime protection.
  • Right-click the running icon of Winpatrol in the system tray
  • Choose exit. It will automatically restart at next boot.

Start hjt and fix following entries:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Windows Update x86] firefox.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Windows Update x86] firefox.exe


Then reboot back into normal mode and post a fresh hjt log.

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt

When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.
  • Comodo BOCLEAN <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
  • Download Adaware
    Adaware is a free program. It scans for known spyware on your computer. These scans should be run at least once every two weeks. For more information, see this tutorial
    The program is available for download here
  • Download Spybot
    Spybot is a scanner like adaware. It scans for spyware and other malicious programs. It is important to have both Adaware and Spybot on your computer because each program provides unique detection and pretection measures. Spybot has preventitive tools that stop programs from even installing on your computer.
    To see how to set this up as well as more spybot features, see here
    Spybot can be downloaded at this location
  • Download SpywareBlaster
    Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
    kill bits
    in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
    If you don't know what activex controls are, see here
    You can download SpywareBlaster here here
    SpywareBlaster tutorial
  • Download iespyad
    It puts many bad webpages on your restricted zones list. This means that you can still view the
    bad
    webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).
    If you need help understanding how it works, there is a tutorial here
    Download it here
  • hosts file:
  • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
  • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
  • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
  • However, it can slow down certain computers.
  • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  • Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
  • Click run
  • In the dialog box, type services.msc
  • hit enter, then locate dns client
  • Highlight it, then double-click it.
  • On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  • Click ok

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system… problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade B)
