Original Post on April 8th around 7:30 AM GMT. Just wanted to give an abridged version to get right to the point, details are explained below. CPU running at 100%, Multiple IE popups, wallpaper turned from picture to blue, applications take around 10+ minutes to load. Below is my HJT log but it was run in safe mode, as soon as i can get HJT to pull up in normal i'll scan and edit post with current log.

Hey there, i understand you may be super busy so will try to make this as compact yet detailed as possible. Yesterday i downloaded a few things on my computer, like upgrading from .NET 2.0 framework to the 3.5 after i downloaded new graphic drivers and saying that I needed to upgrade the framework. I then started getting a lot of IE popups and noticed a new icon on my desktop for AntiSpywareMaster that kept popping up telling me i was infected and needed to get the full version. I, of course, did research only to find that this was not a legit spyware program so i then proceded to search for solutions. I downloaded spybot s&D as well as ad-aware free from Lavasoft. I ran both of those and let them clear what they could but still had smitfraud and virtumonde, as well as command service and the antispywaremaster was still on my computer. i found a couple of guides from the bleepingcomputer forums which guided me through the vudofix, smitfraudfix, and virtumundobegone but none of those cleared up the problem (I did not open a topic with them). So last night after work i ran ad-aware and spybot again. When i went to immunize my computer just froze up so i turned it off. This morning I started it, ran spybot, picked up a few more bots, cleared them out and went to immunize and again my computer froze up. I did a little research on my other computer and found that this site was rated highly so decided to come to you. I saw your sticky for posting the HJT so proceded to follow the directions. I ran the ATFcleaner, cleared up like 48MB of space, went to do spybot again and it froze up again….when i restarted my computer it was extremely slow (just figured that it was from the ATFcleaner since it said it would be slow after reboot) but now i can't pull up firefox, IE, my windows security says there's no firewall enabled. I would just wipe the HDD and reinstall but it's such a PITA and so wanted to see if there was anything else i could do >< Anyways, let me know if there's anything y ou think i would be able to do other than reinstalling XP. Because i can't pull up the internet i might be able to open a HJT log and copy it by hand so you have something to look at, but i'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks in advance,


Jey


I found out that my computer is processing things very slow. The firefox browser took about 20 minutes to pull up, the task manager took about that long as well. I rebooted in safe mode with networking, was able to run a HJT so here's my log:

Sorry about the delay in responding :(

If you still need help, Scan again with HijackThis, and copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
Post #3
LDTate, thanks for taking the time to help me sort this out. The fact that there was a delay in response is understandable, i know there are a lot of people on here seeking help and very few people to offer help. I just barely booted up the computer and am running a HJT log, however as aforementioned, it's very slow to react so i'll try to get the log up as soon as i can. Thanks again
Post #4
LDTate, thanks again for your help in trying to resolve this (these) issue(s). After the bootup it takes literally 5 or more minutes for the computer to process every click that i make. I scanned in Normal mode, and it took me about 20 minutes or so to get done just saving the log to the desktop! I had to save it to the desktop so that i could reboot in safe mode with networking to be able to copy the log and paste it here. Also, approximately how often will you be frequenting this forum so i have an idea as how often i should check back. Thanks again,

Jey

Double-click My Computer.

Click the View tab.
Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.


Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Thanks LD, i'm working on it. It's been about 15minutes since i've booted up the comp again and now i'm just waiting for HJT to load, took me about 10 minutes just to get the first step before running HJT. I'll post as soon as it finishes up

I hope the manual fix will speed it up so we can run some tools :thumbup:

>< this is nuts! so far i got the files fixed through HJT and so now i'm just waiting for the folders to open so I can see if I have any of those .dll files you told me about. i can't believe it's taking this long. Thanks again
Post #10
Yeah i have my cd's >< I just reinstalled windows about 3 months ago after i got infected and forgot to install avg i guess. /sigh i really can't get much done when the computer is in normal mode, is it ok if i delete the files and download ATF in safe w/networking, then reboot in normal and run ATF and a new HJT?
Post #13
well i'm not sure if ATF finished or not, it pulled up a dialog saying deleting files and when i clicked on it the window disappeared…when i clicked on the main ATF window i got another window that popped up and said it was not responding, so i turned off the comp and just barely rebooted it and started the cleaner again just now
