Hello! I'm sorry that I totally reposted this from below. Admin people, please feel free to delete my other post. I just realized that I was stupid in my naming of the post and that it would probably never get seen… Here's the deal: I have a Dell with Windows XP. I've been getting this fake "Windows Security Alert, Warning! Potential Spyware Operation! Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and Internet files. Run full scan now to pervent any unathorised access to your files! Click YES to download spyware remover…" It's been there for a couple of months, and I know it's not good, but I've just been moving it aside and ignoring it. Bad, I know. Well, then my control panel disappeared. And I looked on a forum to see how to get it back. I can get it back, but I can't access anything in it, and it goes away again once in a while. I am also now getting a "Google Desktop did not startup successfully" box. My IE stopped working two days ago, but I just went into my Personal Firewall and figured out that it was blocked. I unblocked it and it is working now. Oh, and when I try to access, well, almost anything, I get an error "Restrictions, This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." So…I came on here and then tried to follow the instructions to download HijackThis. I got the little setup dooey on my desktop, but I'm trying to install and I have and Error: "C:\Program Files\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory: MovieFile failed; code 5. Access is denied. Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation." Please help! I work from my computer, and this is really making me crazy. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! As soon as I can get a HijackThis log I will post it. Do you have any idea what I should do with this HijackThis error? Thanks! Erin

Welcome to the forum and please don't start any new posts..stay in this one!!!

Download to your desktop "FixPolicies.exe", a self-extracting ZIP archive from HERE.

Double-click FixPolicies.exe.
Click the Install button on the bottom toolbar of the box that will open.
The program will create a new Folder called FixPolicies.
Double-click to Open the new Folder, and then double-click the file within: Fix_Policies.cmd
A black box will briefly appear and then close.

—————-

1. Download RVAXO.exe to your desktop.

2. Double click on RVAXO.exe and choose unzip.
It will install to a folder called Rvaxo.

3. Now open up the Rvaxo folder and double click on RVAXO.cmd

You will see a small window pop up, and quickly some lines will run , then the window will close by itself, this is normal behavior.
Then it is possible for an uninstaller of some roque scanner to start up, do not close this but follow all prompts there, and let it run its course.

4. When it's done the computer will reboot…..press any key to reboot.

5. After reboot RVAXO will run again, let it finish

6. After it's done it will create a file called RVAXO-results.log in C:\RVAXO-results.log

7. Copy and paste it back here


—————–

Next…….

Please download SUPERAntiSpyware Home Edition (free)

Install it and double-click the icon on your desktop to run it.
It will ask if you want to update the program definitions, click Yes, Let it through your firewall!
Under Configuration and Preferences, click the Preferences button.
Click the Scanning Control tab.
Under Scanner Options make sure the following are checked:
  • Close browsers before scanning
  • Scan for tracking cookies
  • Terminate memory threats before quarantining.
  • Ignore System Restore/Volume Information on ME and XP
  • Please leave the others unchecked.
  • Click the Close button to leave the control center screen.
On the main screen, under Scan for Harmful Software click Scan your computer.
On the left check C:\Fixed Drive.
On the right, under Complete Scan, choose Perform Complete Scan.
Click Next to start the scan. Please be patient while it scans your computer.
After the scan is complete a summary box will appear. Click OK.
Make sure everything in the white box has a check next to it, then click Next.
It will quarantine what it found and if it asks if you want to reboot, click
Yes.

To retrieve the removal information - please do the following:
  • After reboot, double-click the SUPERAntispyware icon on your desktop.
  • Click Preferences . Click the Statistics/Logs tab .
  • Under Scanner Logs , double-click SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log .
  • It will open in your default text editor (such as Notepad/Wordpad).
  • Please highlight everything , then right-click and choose copy.
  • Click close and close again to exit the program.
Now please paste the removal information along with a fresh HijackThis log in your reply. If it's a large log, you may need several replies to post it.
Please don't forget the log from RVAXO.

Good Luck, MrC

Thank you so much for being here! Here is all I got from the rvaxo.exe thing: —————-RVAXO.exe first run————- Files found: C:\WINDOWS\exploeee.exe C:\WINDOWS\svhjdsah.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\printer.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\WinAvXX.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtr.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\explore.exe Uninstallers Rogue scanners: Folders Found: Hosts-file was reset, If you use a custom hosts file please replace it… ————–RVAXO.exe last run————— Files found: Folders Found: ————–RVAXO.exe finished—————- Files found: After this showed up, the black box popped up again with: "Could Not Find C:\RVAXO.reg File not found - C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.com Could Not Find C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.com File not found - C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.com Could Not Find C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cmd.com The system cannot find the file specified." I also got a popup that says: "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator" I am going to download the SUPERAntiSpyware now and will then post an HJT log. Thank you again, and please let me know if there is anything else I need to do about the RVAXO

I also got a popup that says:
"Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator"



Run FixPolicies.exe again…..reboot and…..

Download combofix.exe To Your Desktop from the link below:
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
A window will open with a warning.
Type "Y" (and Enter) to start the fix.
When the scan completes it will open a text window.
Please attach that log back here together with a fresh HJT log.
Caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed.
The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.

Combofix will automatically save the log file to C:\combofix.txt

Please post that log too, MrC

Still getting the "Google Desktop did not startup successfully" popup, though… Would this have to do with the infection?


It's hard to say but it's there and running……You may have to uninstall then reinstall it.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Google Desktop Search] "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe" /startup
O23 - Service: GoogleDesktopManager - Google - C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe

———————-

Just get this one:

Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running - Click Scan and…..
Place a check against the following items if found:

O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

How's it running, MrC
Post #11
To the amazing MrC… Did that, and thing seem to be fine! Thank you so much!!! Should I leave all those things that I installed on my computer, or delete them? (Hijack This, RVAZO, ComboFix…)
Post #12
That's Good News :)

Yes you can delete them…you'll find that info below:

If you have any questions - please post back

I'll leave you with……..

Some Preventive Maintenance:

Some of the programs you may have run create backups of what was deleted - you can safely delete them now: (delete folders in blue) You can also delete/uninstall the programs themselves.

C:\!KillBox (KillBox)
C:\VundoFix Backups (VundoFix)
C:\QooBox (ComboFix)
C:\SDFix\backups\backups.zip (SDFix)
C:\avenger\backup.zip (Avenger)
C:\_OTMOVEIT folder (OTMoveIt)

RVAXO:
You can use Uninstall.cmd to remove everything from RVAXO, it will be found in the RVAXO-folder on your desktop.
Then delete the RVAXO folder and RVAXO.exe.

If you used AVG Anti-Spyware and/or SuperAntiSpyware………..

Open up SuperAntiSpyware > Preferences > General and Start-up > Start-up Options > Uncheck > Start SAS when Windows Starts.
"SAS free" provides no real time protection so there's no need for it to be running, I suggest you keep the program and update regularly - you can use it to scan for malware. It's an excellent program. When you want to start it - just double click on the SAS icon.

AVG Anti-Spyware will provide 30 days of real time protection and then after that you can use it to scan for malware - you'll have to manually update it first.


——————Must have or do:—————–

Now that you're clean: <—-Important Step!!!!
Delete your system restore files and create a new restore point (XP only):

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points!

Restart your computer,

2. Turn on System Restore:

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

Don't open e-mail attachments without first scanning them with an up-to-date anti virus program, even after doing that I would be very careful. Don't click on any executables in e-mails or any other links that you're not sure of.
Don't believe e-mails from your bank, financial institution, etc asking for personal informations - they're most likely fraudulent no matter how authentic they look.
Watch your surfing habits, don't click on or download anything you're not sure of. Don't install a program that hasn't been recommended by a reputable organization.

Good luck and thanks for using the forum - MrC
