I have a problem that started in the last few days that sounds very much like the thread titled - "Privacy in Danger" Red Background & Pop ups. The problem happens in both IE and Firefox - spontaneous windows opening. Using XP SP2 and I typically apply MS patches regularly, run Norton anti-virus and have things set up reasonably securely. DH gets lots of junky attachments from his friends though and I'm sure something he opened has caused this. I've updated anti-virus, spybot and ad-aware and run those (not in safemode though). I found a couple things and "fixed" but nothing fixed the problem. It seems like quite a few people are experiencing this but no easy solution. Is it reasonable for me to start by following the steps in the "Privacy in Danger" thread - or should I start from scratch here?

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE or HERE directly to your Desktop.

Note: If you already have a current version of ComboFix on your machine, please DELETE it from your desktop before downloading the newest version.

Go to [external image: Posted Image] -> Run -> copy/paste the following single line command in the runbox & click OK

"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall

[external image: Posted Image]
  • ComboFix will automatically start. Any monitoring programs will be shut down like your antivirus, antispyware programs for example.
  • ComboFix may restart your computer, this is normal.
  • When finished, it will produce a log, ComboFix.txt.
  • Please post ComboFix.txt in your next reply along with a new HijackThis log.

Notes:
Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

A blue screen opens and then I get an error that says "You cannot rename ComboFix as ComboFix. Please use another name. I hit okay and tried again and got the same error.
Post #6 last edited
There appears to be a slight "bug" in the tool. I will contact the developer and get back to you as soon as possible. Edit: Do you have any other copies of ComboFix on your system. If so, please DELETE it(them) and try to run the tool again. If not, please respond that you have no other copies of the tool on your system.

Please try the following:

1. Disconnect from the internet
2. Totally disable your Antivirus:

DISABLING NORTON ANTIVIRUS
Please navigate to the system tray on the bottom right hand corner and look for a [external image: Posted Image] sign.
  • right-click it -> chose "Disable Auto-Protect."
  • select a duration of 5 hours (this assures no interference with the cleanup of your pc)
  • click "Ok."
  • a popup will warn that protection will now be disabled and the sign will now look like this: [external image: Posted Image]
You succesfully disabled the Norton Antivirus Guard.

3. Now try running ComboFix
4, If successful, re-enable your Anti-Virus, reconnect to the internet and post the log resulting from running the tool or any error messages that you may have received this time..
Post #9
Okay - it progressed - but it got to the point it brought up a message saying Roughly 1/100 machines failed to make it through the disinfection process!! Are you sure you wnt to do this?? I said No until I checked back. I wasn't sure if it was just going to produce a log - it sounded like it was going to do something I might regret. Shall I try again and say Yes to this?
Post #10
Hi Gibby, It is OK to continue using the tool. That is a disclaimer to make people think twice before using ComboFix on their won as it is such a powerful tool and can be a potentially dangerous one when used by untrained personnel.
Post #11
Okay - here's the combofix log followed by the new hijackthis log - thanks VERY much for your help with this.

Looking much better:

A. I see that Viewpoint is installed. Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player are Viewpoint components which are installed as a side effect of installing other software, most notably AOL and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Viewpoint Manager is responsible for managing and updating Viewpoint Media Player’s components. You can disable this using the Viewpoint Manager Control Panel found in the Windows Control Panel menu. By selecting Disable auto-updating for the Viewpoint Manager – the player will no longer attempt to check for updates. Anything that is installed without your consent is suspect. Read what Viewpoint says and make your own decision.

To provide a satisfying consumer experience and to operate effectively, the Viewpoint Media Player periodically sends information to servers at Viewpoint. Each installation of the Viewpoint Media Player is identifiable to Viewpoint via a Customer Unique Identifier (CUID), an alphanumeric identifier embedded in the Viewpoint Media Player. The Viewpoint Media Player randomly generates the CUID during installation and uses it to indicate a unique installation of the product. A CUID is never connected to a user's name, email address, or other personal contact information. CUIDs are used for the sole purpose of filtering redundant information. Each of these information exchanges occurs anonymously.


Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This may change, read Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware
I STRONGLY recommend that you remove the Viewpoint products; however, decide for yourself. To uninstall the Viewpoint components (Viewpoint, Viewpoint Manager, Viewpoint Media Player):

1. Click Start, then Settings, then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
3. In Add or Remove Programs, Remove the Viewpoint component
4. Do the same for each Viewpoint component.


B. Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.

Updating Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u4.
  • Scroll down to where it says "The Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • In the pull down menu next to Platform select Windows
  • Check the box that says: "I agree to the Java SE Runtime Environment 6 License Agreement"
  • Click Continue
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u4-windowsi586-p.exe to install the newest version.


Now to Clean out the Java cache:

Go into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon.
  • Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Delete Files button.
  • There are three options in the window to clear the cache - Leave ALL 3 Checked
    • Downloaded Applets
      Downloaded Applications
      Other Files
  • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
    Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
  • Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.

C. I need you to run the following scan: Eset Online Scanner
  • Place a check mark in the box YES, I accept the Terms Of Use
  • Click the Start button.
  • Now click the Install button.
  • Click Start. The scanner engine will initialize and update.
  • Do Not place a check mark in the box beside Remove found threats.
  • Click the Scan button. The scan will now run, please be patient.
  • When the scan finishes click the Details tab.
  • Copy and paste the contents of the C:\ProgramFiles\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt into your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log.


D. Please tell me how your system is now running.

Okay - did all of that including getting rid of the Viewpoint - not something I ever use to my knowledge. I haven't used AOL in years. The really frustrating thing though is that I ran the eset online scanner - for about an hour. It completed - I looked at the details - but could not get any kind of log out of this. It appeared on the screen but I could not cut and paste it out - it would just select the rest of the webpage - not the text in the window - like it wouldn't allow me to copy the details without buying something. And now it has disappeared and I can't get back or forward to it. There were three items related to virtumonde adware.

So I'll try giving you that limited info plus this new hijackthis log. Nothing has popped up while I've been working on this. I'll try it a bit more.

One other thing that has now happened - during the course of all I've done today - is that Norton now says my phishing filter isn't working and I need to run something from Symantec to fix that. I'll hold off until I hear what else you have to say about my other problem. Plus now I don't know if I'm really getting info from Symantec or if that is a hoax. It's coming from here.

http://service1.symantec.com/support/nip.n…mp;build=Retail

And the problem is described as this:

Error: "Phishing Protection has encountered an internal error…" (3003,221) after installing Norton Internet Security 2007

So far nothing unwanted is popping up though - YAY.
Update: Checked it out a bit more - still nothing popping up. I think it would have happened by now.

A. The Symantec message is legit and you can re-activate now.

B. Please RUN HijackThis
  • Click the SCAN button to produce a log.

  • Place a check mark beside each one of the following items:

    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {9239E4EC-C9A6-11D2-A844-00C04F68D538} - (no file)

  • Now with all the items selected, and all windows closed except for HJT, delete them by clicking the FIX checked button. Close the HijackThis window.



C. We will try Kaspersky instead.

Please use the Internet Explorer browser, and do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner
First, choose "Global" from the dropdown menu at the top of the page.
Next, click Yes, when prompted to install its ActiveX component.
(Note.. for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the "Accept" button of the license, click on the "Zoom" tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license has been accepted, reset to 100%.)
The program launches and downloads the latest definition files.
  • Once the files are downloaded click on Next
  • Click on Scan Settings and configure as follows:
    • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
      • Extended
    • Scan Options:Scan Archives
      Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK and, under select a target to scan, select My Computer
When the scan is done, in the Scan is completed window, any infection is displayed.
There is no option to clean/disinfect, however, we need to analyze the information on the report.

To obtain the report:
Click on: Save Report As
Next, in the Save as prompt, Save in area, select: Desktop
In the File name area, use KScan, or something similar
In Save as type, click the drop arrow and select: Text file [*.txt]
Then, click: Save
Please post the Kaspersky Online Scanner Report in your reply, along with a fresh HijackThis log
