To set your time format in Windows XP go to the Start Button then select the Control Panel. In the Control Panel select the Regional and Language Options.

Now select the Customize button in the Standards and formats section, notice the legend for the different time formats on the bottom of the window. Now select the Time tab and then click on the drop down menu arrow next to the Time format box.

Choose the h:mm:ss tt select to change to the default windows format. Then click on Apply or OK.

How can I delete the Recovery Console?

To delete the Recovery Console follow these steps:

Open My Computer.

Double-click the hard drive on which you installed the Recovery Console.

On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

Click the View tab.

Click Show hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.

At the root directory, delete the \Cmdcons folder.

At the root directory, delete the file Cmldr.

At the root directory, right-click the Boot.ini file and then click Properties.

Clear the Read-only check box, and then click OK.

Open Boot.ini in Notepad, and remove the entry for the Recovery Console. It will look similar to this:

C:\cmdcons\bootsect.dat="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

Save the file and close it.

two things. one I cant delete the \Cmdcons folder. But I was able to edit the boot.ini and that fixed my startup. I looked into this rootkit a little more and found this post in another blog and found out this thing isnt gonna go away easy. It has some hook. By DangerousDonnie: I am an MCSE and my expertise is in security and virus removal. This is the first time that I have been completely stumped. I believe this is a serious new threat. OS : Windows XP sp1. Apps affected: IE6sp1 or sp2 and IE7. Firefox. Symtoms: google, yahoo and windows live search redirects to bogus sites such as monstermarketplace. Example: you type in google "quantum physics"; the search returns: wikipedia at the top, but at the bottom it says monstermarketplace. Using netmon you see the infection goes to [removed] before the results are returned in google. This ip has been flagged on SBL as part of a block of IPs belonging to a Russian Cybercrime hosting company. The virus even runs in safe mode with networking. This is not the common google redirect that involves tds*.dlls. This is something new and very dangerous. I am currently working with kaspersky and eset, but they have no clue at the moment. Things I have tried: Kaskerpsky purchased edition with infected drive slaved - nothing. Eset purchased edition with infected drive slaved - nothing. Panda antirootkit - nothing F-backlight - nothing Sophos antirootkit - nothing. IceSword - nothing Avenger - nothing. Logs analyzed by me: combofix - clean hijackthis - clean findawf - clean After making an Acronis image I updated to IE7 and windows xp sp2 - no change. Gmer - log is clean from hidden processess or services but it does find hooks. Gmer - stack modifications found. When windows is first started GMER shows the following: .text ntoskrnl.exe!KeInitializeInterrupt + B67 804DA23C 1 Byte [ 06 ] Whenever IE is opened these additional stack mods are found: .text C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe[280] kernel32.dll!ExitProcess 77E798FD 6 Bytes PUSH 10002970; RET .text C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe[280] WS2_32.dll!WSARecv 71AB19A0 6 Bytes PUSH 10002504; RET .text C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe[280] WS2_32.dll!send 71AB1AF4 6 Bytes PUSH 1000269C; RET .text C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe[280] WS2_32.dll!recv 71AB5690 6 Bytes PUSH 100024C4; RET .text C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe[280] WS2_32.dll!WSASend 71AB5722 6 Bytes PUSH 10002924; RET After restoring the code (ie unhooking) then IE and google function properly until IE is opened again and GMER shows these hooks are now back! I have been working on this for 3 weeks and have even replaced windows xp low level files such as kernel32,ws2_32.dll and others but to know avail. I can make the infection stop with IE explorer if I remove the Browsenewprocess keys from the registry which means that mshtml will be running as a process in place of IE. But Firefox still has symptoms. Then I tried blocking [removed] at the firewall. IT IS BLOCKED. When I open IE, netmon shows that this ip is connected!!! When I add [removed] to the host file and point it to 127.0.0.6 it stills says connected in the network monitor programs I use. This is when I started considering suicide as a viable option. I need your help in finding this one. I may have to use ollydbug which I am not very good at. I have not posted anywhere else, but of course I have searched. If you need more info on this just type [removed] virus in google and you will see there are only about 4 topics on this all without answers. So it is very new and very deep. According to these threads it may also affect Vista. Please help.

Make Sure Internet Explorer is NOT open when trying this) Launch HijackThis, click the 'Open'Misc Tools'Section -> 'Open hosts file manager'. Delete every line (select each line and click 'Delete line(s)') except the very first top lines beginning with # and: 127.0.0.1 localhost Once finished, click the 'Open in Notepad' button. It should look like this: QUOTE # Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost
Post #19
I only have one line: 127.0.0.1 localhost thats all. Ill give it a bit for this thing to hook again when google starts redirecting again. and I will try this.

I see I missed one in ComboFix. If you still have it, run another scan. If not:

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3


* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop


  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : Protective Programs

  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

[external image: Posted Image]


Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
"copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread as well.

Notes:

1.Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
3. Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you – please tell your helper.
4. 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.

Give it atleast 20-30 minutes to finish if needed.

Yes thats the right blog. And yeah it seems like she really knows what shes talking about- but she didnt really give any failsafe fix. So heres the new logs:

Copy/paste the text in the Codebox below into notepad:

Here's how to do that:
Click Start > Run type Notepad click OK.
This will open an empty notepad file:

Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the box below, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'. Now over the empty Notepad box, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text. 

Driver::
sysaudio

Registry::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\drivers32]
"aux"=""

Save this file to your desktop, Save this as "CFScript"

Here's how to do that:

2.Click Save As… Change the directory to your desktop;

my computer is behaving fine. im only worried about that hook that keeps that sysaudio.sys file around. which then redirects my google. it seems that malwarebytes fixes it only momentarily. google searches fine right now- but whos to say that in an hour it doesnt go back to its hijacked results? i dunno :\
Post #26
i think thats the wrong one. I no longer have sound. the one in the drivers folder was supposedly the good one says miekiemoes. I tried to play a song and winamp says Bad DirectSound driver. Please install porper drivers or select another device in configuration. Error code: 88780078
Post #27 last edited
The loading point for the fake sysaudio.sys is under the HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\drivers32 key with value and valuedata: "aux"="sysaudio.sys" or "aux2"="sysaudio.sys" Note - do NOT confuse this one with the legitimate sysaudio.sys file which is present in the %sysdir%\drivers folder!!! So don't delete the legitimate %sysdir%\drivers\sysaudio.sys file!
