Please could you help, i have some annoying malware that keeps slowing up my PC no end. I have tried to use NoAdware and Ad-Aware and also Spyware Doctor but my computer seems to keep getting attacked. I also run Nod32 virus protection, but am not sure why or how it still gets in?!

Here is a log file from my computer:

Welcome to the forum.

Please run ATF, ComboFix and SuperAntiSpyware (SAS) from the link below:

http://forums.maddok...?showtopic=9590

Then post the logs from ComboFix, SAS and a fresh HJT log back here.

Thanks, MrC

Thanks a lot MrC, i ran the ATF and that cleared a fair few Mb worth of files, then i downloaded the ComboFix to the desktop and ran it however a window pops up after the autoscan starts up (before i press the 'Y' button saying that Windows has closed this program to help protect the computer (ant the title of the window says Data Execution Prevention). I've tried it a couple of time and each time that happens. Where is it gooing wrong? I havent tried any of the next steps.

Here's what it is:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352
http://support.micro....com/kb/875351/

-------------------------

For now please use VundoFix in place of ComboFix:

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
  • Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
  • Click the Scan for Vundo button.
  • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
  • You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
  • Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
  • When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
  • Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at
reboot.

Run SAS as outlined also.

MrC

Did you run SAS (SuperAntiSpyware)?

---------------------

Enable hidden files:
Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked.
Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK" (reverse this procedure when we are done)

---------------------


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

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0BF43445-2F28-4351-9252-17FE6E806AA0} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [54a58e5f] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\monsgsng.dll",b

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

------------

Delete this file if found:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\monsgsng.dll


Reboot and post a fresh HijackThis log and we'll take another look. MrC

The log looks OK.......see if you can run ComboFix now...if XP doesn't want to run...don't run it.

How's it running?

Let me know, MrC

Also, now that the vuno thing has been removed, how do i stop it from coming back? Is there a particular spyware that i should rely on or a firewall that i should purchase? At the moment it seems that i have all these anti adware programmes on the computer (AdAware, Noadware, Spyware doctor, SuperAnti Spyware etc) and also i run Eset Nod 32 ver. 2.7. I used to run Mcafee Total protection 2007 and didnt have these issues and then when the subscription ran out it seesm these issues started, should i bu Total protection 2008?! V. confused!!

Here's what I use:

AVG Anti-Virus free
Comodo Free Firewall
Comodo BOClean : Anti-Malware Version 4.25
SpywareBlaster
SpywareGuard
Erunt<---keeps the registry backed up


Links are all 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.

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!

1. 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,

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.

Visit Windows Update and install all the lastest critical updates.

Install these three free programs, they sit in the backround and protect your system from spy and adware being installed on your system, also from your browser being hijacked.

SpywareBlaster Check for updates weekly.

SpywareGuard

BOClean Free real-time protection

---------------

IE-SPYAD
Puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
or try the new ZonedOut

Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File
Direct Download - MVPS HOSTS <==> MVPS HOSTS Tutorial

Need a free anti virus?
AVG*free
Avast Free
AntiVirŪ PersonalEdition Classic
-->Check for updates - daily<---

How about a firewall? The front door to your computer.
Windows firewall is not suffient...install a better one.
Comodo Free Firewall
ZoneAlarm*free
Other free firewalls

Comodo Family of FREE anti-malware programs

Keep those temp files off your system use
ATF Cleaner - hit "select all" then just uncheck "cookies" (uncheck cookies is optional - leave it checked if you want to delete all cookies) then "empty selected"
or
CCleaner
Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
That will clear out all the temp files on the system.

IMPORTANT!!
Keep your Sun Java up-to-date JRE Version 6 Update 3<--newest version
Delete ALL old versions from add/remove programs if listed first!
Check HERE

Keep the registry backed up - use ERUNT
Print this out and save it
ERUNT Tutorial

Starter Manage you startup programs and services.

----------Free malware removal programs:----------

AVG Anti-Spyware<---VERY GOOD! (XP and 2K only)
SUPERAntiSpyware (free edition)<---Excellent!
AVG Anti-Rootkit Free Edition Run it!!
SpyBot
AD-Aware
CW-Shredder

Please consider using FireFox instead of Internet Explorer. A more secure browser! Easy to make the change!
FireFox Tutorial


Pop-up stoppers:
GoogleToolBar
Pop-upStopperFree

Disable "Windows Messenger Service" XP - 2K (stops pop-up ads -etc):
Shoot The Messenger

Anti-Rootkit Software - Detection, Removal & Protection

Reduce Online Fraud

Slow Computer - Check Here

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
