compaq r3000 laptop running XP (SP3), 1.5gb ram. connect to internet via mobile phone (t-mobile web n walk)

past week or so its been running strangely - ie:

*sometimes hangs for longer than usual on 'saving your settings' on shutdown
*browser takes a few attempts to load web pages
*for some reason zonealarm stopped internet access altogether, browser/email programs couldnt connect to net, although connection showing data still being transmitted/received (can't figure out which program was doing this…) - i shutdown zonealarm and browser/email/everything else works again. am now using ashampoo firewall, but am still concerned somethin is using my connection that i dont know about.
*computer generally sluggish, seems to take longer to open programs etc.

have had a dig around in task manager for anythin hogging resources, cannot see a culprit, but im sure somethings wrong.

please if anyone can help i would appreciate. heres my hijackthis log:

Hello collen

Welcome to the Whatthetech Malware Removal Forum Sorry for the delay in responding but with the amount of people posting with infected computers there are not enough hours in the day.

It looks like your infected with some malware, lets do a few things.

First drag HJT to the trash as its an outdated version, we will install the new one in a bit.

Do this first…Important

Disable the TeaTimer, you can re enable it when were done if you wish
  • Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
  • If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
  • On the left hand side, Click on Tools
  • Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
  • Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
  • Restart your computer.



Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. <– Don't forget to do this
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy and Paste the entire report in your next reply along with a New Hijackthis log.



Download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download.
It must be saved directly to your desktop.


1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan.
  • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
  • Remember to re enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the net
2. Close any open browsers and make sure you are disconnected from the net. Unplug the cable if need be before running combofix.
  • IF you have not already done so Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet when it starts.
  • If there is no internet connection when Combofix has completely finished then restart your computer to restore back the connections.
3. Now double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a report for you.
Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review





Download Trendmicros Hijackthis to your desktop.
Double click it to install
Follow the prompts and by default it will install in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis\Highjackthis.exe
  • Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
  • Go to Format and make sure Wordwrap is Unchecked
  • Go to Edit> Select All…..Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread by using the Post Reply and not start a New Thread.
DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.


Post the Malwarebytes log, the Combofix log and a New HJT log by Trendmicro

Hi Collen,

The scans did not find much but there is a service on your system running out of a temp directory which is pretty odd, do this please.

You need to enable windows to show all files and folders, instructions Here


Go to VirusTotal and submit this file for analysis, just use the Browse Feature and then Send File, you will get a report back, post the report into this thread for me to see.

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Collen\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\JNU.exe <—This File

hi ken thanks for the reply again. i enabled windows to show all hidden files like you said, but when i went to the virustotal page, there was no file named JNU.xein the temp folder that you specified. the only things in this folder were ASFWhide file and a MessengerCache folder. Any ideas? Many thanks for your help! collen

Good Morning,

ASFWhide <– This may be part of the Haxdoor Rootkit infection, lets run this tool.


Download haxfix.exe
and save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on haxfix.exe to install haxfix. (standard installation path is c:\program Files\haxfix)
  • Checkmark "Create a desktop icon"
  • Click "Next"
  • When the installation is completed, make sure that the checkmark "Launch HaxFix" is placed
  • Click "Finish"

A red "dos window" (dos box) will open with options:
1. Make logfile
2. Run auto fix
3. Run manual fix
E. Exit Haxfix

  • Select option 1. Make logfile by typing 1 and then pressing Enter
  • Haxfix will start scanning the computer. When it is finished a logfile will open: haxlog.txt
  • Copy the contents of that logfile and paste it into this thread. (c:\haxfix.txt)

Hello,

No rootkit infection. Lets do a few other things.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.
  • This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  • Under Main choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
Your system may start up slower after running ATF Cleaner, this is expected but will be back to normal after the first or second boot up

Reboot and then do this.

Your log looks like that file is missing but lets disable the service and see if it makes a difference.

  • Go to Start> Run and type in services.msc then press Enter
  • Scroll down to JNU
  • Double Click that service to open it.
  • Click on Stop Service.
  • Then change the Startup Type to Disabled.
  • OK your way out of the program.

Reboot and let me know if it made a difference

thanks ken,

i completed the atf cleaner instructions. is this similar to ccleaner? for info, i already use ccleaner probably once a week.

disabled in JNU in services, it was set to manual, and hadnt been started. ive no idea what it is.

have fixed my original problem, which was mainlynot being able to connect to internet whilst zonealar was running. apparently it was due to a ms update that mesed it up. zonealarm released a new version, ive installed that and it seems to be working fine again. i will probably now uninstall the other firewall i put on to keep me protected while zonealarm didnt work (ashampoo firewall) unless you think its worth havin them both running?

laptop seems to be shutting down fine and i dont have to hit reload/F5 to get webpages to load with error, so i think i may be clean again.

heres latest hijackthis log if u could confirm im clean?

Hi Collen,

There was an issue with windows updates about two weeks ago, it only effected systems with Zone Alarm. You only want one Firewall, more is overkill and can cause issues, so choose the one you like best and uninstall the other one. You can have one software firewall and one hardware firewall ( like a router for instance ) but not two software.

Glad things are running better for you. :thumbup:

ATF Cleaner was written by one of our own , but CCleaner does and excellent job so you can keep the one you like best. If you keep and run CCleaner, do not run the Issues Scan as it will remove registry entries and if it removes the wrong one ( and it can ) it can bork your system.


ATF Cleaner <– Yours to keep, run it now and then to clean out the clutter.

Malwarebytes <– Yours to keep also, check for updates and run a scan now and then.

Combofix Is not a general cleaning tool, just run it with supervision or you can bork your system

  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.


    • [external image: Posted Image]

  • When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"

The above procedure will:
  • Delete the following:
    • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    • VundoFix backups, if present
    • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
    • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
  • Reset the clock settings.
  • Hide file extensions, if required.
  • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
  • Reset System Restore.

Malware Complaints
Are you mad ? I mean really mad, seething mad, so mad your ready to spit, mad that you have taken your hard earned dollars to buy a computer only to have some Miscredents, Dirt Bags and Cyber Criminals install a malicious program on your computer without your knowledge or consent. You can post your complaint at the above site. If you live in the U.S.A. you can also report your grievance to your State Attorney Generals Office and the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection.


  • How did I get infected in the first place ? Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.
  • Tutorial for System Restore <– Do this first to prevent yourself from being reinfected.
  • WhattheTech
  • TonyKlein CastleCops
  • Grinler BleepingComputer
  • GeeksTo Go
  • Dslreports

Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster, you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot.


Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community
  • Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6
    Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.
  • Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.
  • Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.
  • IE-Spyad
    IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • Firefox 3 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.

Glad we could help

Safe Surfn
