Usage Information:

run the killbox.exe file. When it loads type the full path(C:\WINDOWS\system32\awvvt.dll)in the field and press the Delete File button (looks like a red circle with a white X). It will prompt you to reboot, allow it to do so, and hopefully your file will now be deleted.

I went to the site to download VundoFix and your instructions appear to be outdated. Your instructions show a version 2.15 the version you get when you go to that website is version 6.7.7 When you double click VundoFix.exe a box comes up and you have two choices. Scan for Vundo and Remove Vundo. This is the tool I used when I discovered Vundo on my computer. I got the suggestion from reading the Forum Self Help Fixes for Spyware/Malware. It always removes everything except the awvvt.dll file. I will follow all the instructions and what I will do with this vundofix is run it in Safe Mode. :pullhair: Redwings
Post #22
Good evening Redwings yes I would try it but before you do make sure any vundo .exe programs you had before you delete them and start with the new one doing like I said earlier. If it works reboot and post another log. Thank you
Post #23
Right now it shows the awvvt.dll file missing in my HJT log. The bad news is that I can not do the online scan. Nothing happens when I click the scan now button. It works on my other computer but not on the infected one. Here's the log.

Hi Redwings
Looking good so far just a little longer.
Download AVG Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your
desktop.
This is a 30 day trial of the program
  • Once you have downloaded ewido anti-spyware, locate the icon on the desktop
    and double-click it to launch the set up program.
  • Once the setup is complete you will need run AVG Anti-Spyware and update the definition
    files.
  • On the main screen select the icon "Update" then select the "
    Update now    " link.
    • Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a
      progress bar will show the updates being installed.
  • Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of
    the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
  • Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then
    select "Delete".
  • Under "Reports"
    • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
    • Un-Select "Only if threats were found"
Close AVG Anti-Spyware, Do Not run a scan just yet, we will shortly.

NEXT:

[*]Reboot your computer into SafeMode. You can do this by restarting

your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears.

Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.
IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or
programs while ewido is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:
[*]Lauch ewido(AVG)-anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.

[*]Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab

then click on "Complete System Scan".
[*]ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little

time.
Once the scan is complete do the following:
[*]If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all

actions"
[*]Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.

[*]Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the

screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where
you saved that file, this is important).
NEXT:
Close AVG anti-spyware
NEXT:
While still in safe mode
Run scanner.exe and click Scan and then check the following, if present (don't worry if any are missing):
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {600EF367-AD2F-460A-A3CE-F9504CFC3070} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\awvvt.dll (file missing)
[*]now reboot your system back into Normal Mode and post the

results of the AVG Anti-Spyware scan. And a new hjt log.
good luck mschroe919

I am posting this first so I can give you the list that AVG found. Two problems. One I could not update the software. It gave me an error when trying to log on to the site. Secondly, even though I checked generate a report after every scan - no report was generated. Here's this list of Threats AVG found as seen on the screen page and also risk level. Trojan.Small.edz - High Downloader.PurityScan.bg - High Trojan.Cloner.ba - High Trojan.LowJone.A.7 - High Trojan.Irc.flood.dv - High Dropper.Agent.dgo - High Downloader.Agent.so - High Logger.AdvancedKeyLogger.a - High Trojan.Small - High Worm.Randon.aj - High Backdoor.Zapchast - High Worm.Randon - High Adware.180Solutions - Medium TrackingCookie.Euroclick - Medium Adware.BargainBuddy - Medium Not-A-Virus.RemoteAdmin.Win32.RemotelyAnywhere.a - Low Not-A-Virus.Monitor.Win32.QuickKeyLogger - Low Not-A-Virus.NetTool.Win32.Sniffer.c - Low I am writing this on my other computer so I will post the HJT log in my next reply. Redwings
Post #26
The above post had the list that AVG found and here is the HJT log. Of note - When I restarted the computer AVG notified me of a suspicious file. It was the MSConfig.exe. I selected Quarentine but it was unable to do so. I went to start - run and I am still unable to get msconfig to run. It says the file is missing.

I can't believe how much has been wrong and how bad spyware and malware has gotten. The file is not there. I can get to \WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries but there is no MSConfig.exe file there. I do have all files showing including all extensions and operating system files. I did a search and these are the places it shows MSConfig.exe to be. C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ C:\WINDOWS\Help C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 C:WINDOWS\system32\dllcache Hope this helps. Redwings PS I leave for work at 3 PM EST so after that the replies will be non existent until I return home at around 1 AM EST.
