sorry about my first panicky submission, included the log this time, much fawning and brown-nosing promised if help is given……we bow before the techno gods…..(just a sampler)

please do not start multiple topics. it can actually delay you getting help.

Ok please copy the contents of the quote box to notepad:
(its also attached below)


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad]
"System"=-
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{061646A1-DC57-487D-B023-A938198C174E}]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4E8A9E72-8942-40EF-88DF-A559152F6B41}]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6E94CEC3-0C84-4310-AE20-CD4090178388}]



hit save as
give it the name clear.reg
under the filename set file types to all files.
save it to the desktop.

After done double click the clear.reg
when asked to merge say yes

reboot

then find this file:
c:\windows\system32\system32.dll

Delete the file ONLY ! Do not touch anything else in the system32 folder.


Than fix these with hijackthis:

Dear Shadowwar, If this was a simpler time, I would be one of those annoying serfs that trailed around behind a warrior/knight/king/queen that was named Shadowwar, and continually offered to do demeaning things like lick your shiny armour clean or carry the pooper scooper for your horse….. I am truly in your debt…… All seems to be clear, should I delete the back-ups that Hijack This made and empty my recycle bin? Your techno-peasant, Fleasbaby.

ok check and fix this one:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Services Process] C:\WINNT\system32\config\services.exe

Then see if it exists. If it does delete:
C:\WINNT\system32\config\services.exe

Then you are clean. Here are some tips:

Please run your windows updates to help prevent being reinfected.

internet explorer/tools(at top of screen)/windows updates
Install all critical at least. After you reboot Recheck again as there may be more!

Also see the link in my signature:

how did I get infected in the first place?

Here is some software that will help with prevention:

SpywareBlaster will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm#IESPYAD

Also a good firewall if you do not have one like Zonealarm in my signature will help protect you and monitor what is accessing the internet.

Also an antivirus if you do not have one already : http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php

All free programs.

Whoopsie Daisy! I can't kill them, apparently, according to Windows I "cannot delete Services:Access is denied.The source file may be in use." Any ideas? Should I delete the backups Hijack This made and empty my recylcle bin? Is that where its being used? Fleasbaby
Post #10
Make sure you are deleting the correct one. This one IS valid: C:\WINNT\system32\services.exe This other one is the baddie: C:\WINNT\system32\config\services.exe if the entry went in hijackthis. reboot and try deleting the one in the config folder. you may have to check properties of the file and uncheck the archive and read only boxes.
Post #11
Dear Shadowwar, Awesome, your powers and wisdom astonish me once again……(are we out of the woods yet? is it safe to brown-nose?) I rebooted, went to search for files or folders, found the services.exe in the config folder, and slaughtered the little beast……there was no need to uncheck archive or read only. What's next? Fleasbaby

Just read the tips and tighten up your armor! Your clean. :D Oh and yes you can delete the backups. ;)

I am locking this topic. Glad to help. If you are another user and have a problem please start a new topic. If you need this reopened Fleasbaby please notify a Moderator to reopen. Cheers! :wavey:

Update!!: Fix will still remove the active infection but will not totally clean the registry. This is not a big deal. Also this thing does 2 other nasty things. 1. it drops a hosts file blocking all competitor cws sites. Not so bad Really. 2. It attacks the updater modules for Antivirus. Please check to make sure your Antivirus updates still work. Merijn as we speak is working on adding to shredder. edit: now in cwshredder.
