After following a lot of helpful info from these forums i got rid of a whole bunch of spyware problems i was having problems with. but now there is just one thing left that keeps popping up from time to time telling me i have registry problems and i need a registry cleaner. whenever i close it another window pops up verifying if i really dont want to download and install this "Great!" registry cleaner. i have tried windows defender, ewidos, spybot, lavasoft, and cleanup! (that exclamation is part of the name, not my excitement hehehe)

And not that this next one is a huge deal... but ever since i did a bunch of stuff to get rid of all that other spyware, i can no longer pick new files to set as my desktop pictures in the "Display Properties > Dekstop". I can use ones i used to have there from before, but cannot successfully choose a new one, and even the old ones that are still there all look like files that have no associations (like a file with no extension). i know it's not really a spyware problem, but thought, hey, maybe it's a common thing after getting rid of some spyware?

anyways, the first issue is my main and real issue and i have a HiJackThis log if that helps, here it is:

Download smitRem.exe ©noahdfear, and save the file to your desktop.
Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.

Place a shortcut to Panda ActiveScan on your desktop (in Internet Explorer, right click on Panda ActiveScan link select "Copy Shortcut" then right click on your desktop and select "Paste Shortcut" or in FireFox right-click the link and select "Save Link As" and save it to your desktop).

Please download the trial version of ewido anti-malware here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Please read Ewido Setup Instructions
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

If you have not already installed Ad-Aware SE 1.06, follow these download and setup instructions, otherwise, check for updates:
Ad-Aware SE Setup
Don't run it yet!

Download FixSF.reg to your desktop by right clicking on the following link and then selecting Save Link As or Save File as, depending on your browser. Now double click on the FixSF.reg file. When it asks if you would like to merge the information, press the Yes button and then the OK button.

Next, please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Go to add/remove programs in your control panel and uninstall(if there):

SpyFalcon

***if the computer asks for you to let it reboot DO NOT allow it.


Navigate to the following files/folders and delete these(if there):
C :\Windows\System32\ginuerep.dll
C :\Windows\System32\dxmpp.dll
C:\Program Files\SpyFalcon

Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with all others requested in your next reply.

Now open Ad-aware and do a full scan. Remove all it finds.

Run Ewido:
  • Click on scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK
  • When it asks if you want to clean the first file, put a check in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections" then choose clean and click OK.
  • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
  • Click Save report.
  • Save the report .txt file to your desktop.
Close ewido anti-malware.

Next go to Control Panel click Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Web > Uncheck "Security Info" if present.

Reboot back into Windows and click the Panda ActiveScan shortcut.
  • Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button.
  • A new window will open...click the Check Now button.
    • Enter your Country
    • Enter your State/Province
    • Enter your e-mail address and click send
    • Select either Home User or Company
    • Click the big Scan Now button
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
  • When the download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
Post the contents of the Panda scan report, along with a new HijackThis Log, the contents of smitfiles.txt and the Ewido Log by using Add Reply.
Let us know if any problems persist.

Hey, ok I did what you asked in the following order. First I ran FixSF.reg, then I re-started in safe mode and opened the SmitRem folder and ran the RunThis.bat. I then ran Adaware (after having updated it already) but it wouldn't run Ewidos properly. I then restarted in normal mode, ran the Panda Activescan online and installed Ewidos properly. I then restarted in safe mode and ran Ewidos. So from all of that, here are the reports you wanted (in the order completed them)

SmitRem log file (I deleted some blank spaces just for posting length):

Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order in which they are mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes.

Step #1

Scan again with HijackThis and check the following items:
O3 - Toolbar: Google Web Accelerator - {DB87BFA2-A2E3-451E-8E5A-C89982D87CBF} - C:\Program Files\Google\Web Accelerator\GoogleWebAccToolbar.dll (file missing)
O3 - Toolbar: &Google - {2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - c:\program files\google\googletoolbar2.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Vaewgiz] C:\Documents and Settings\Delbert\Application Data\?ymantec\logonui.exe

O20 - Winlogon Notify: wineil32 - wineil32.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: WRNotifier - WRLogonNTF.dll (file missing)

After checking these items, close all browser windows except HijackThis and click "Fix checked".

Step #2

Download CCleaner and install it. (Please do not run the CCleaner utility yet.)

Step #3

We need to make sure all hidden files are showing so please:
  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • Select the View tab.
  • Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
  • Uncheck the Hide file extensions for known types option.
  • Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.
Step #4

Reboot Your System in Safe Mode:
  • Restart the computer.
  • As soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the Safe Mode menu item.
  • Press the Enter key.
Step #4

Find and delete these files and folders (if they are still there):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ñ•ymbols <= this folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Delbert\Application Data\Ð…ymantec <= this folder



Step #5

While still in safe mode Start Ccleaner. click "Options", click the "Advanced" tab
Uncheck: "Only delete files older than 48 hrs.", click Ok
Click "Cleaner" and click Run Cleaner (bottom right).

Reboot your computer normally.

Step #6

Please go HERE to run Panda's ActiveScan
  • Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
  • A new window will open...click the Check Now button
  • Enter your Country
  • Enter your State/Province
  • Enter your e-mail address and click send
  • Select either Home User or Company
  • Click the big Scan Now button
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
  • When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report
Start HijackThis, perform a new scan and save the log file.

Use the Add Reply button to post your new logs back here along with details of any problems you encountered performing the above steps and I will review it when it comes in.
