Updating ....

Clearing out the registry (HKLM Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings\Zone Map\Domains) of sites I have
never visited (wow, no idea there are such specific p*** sites!) and cleaning the Gator indications (see the Panda scan for naming) from
HKLM Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Module Usage\C:/windows/downloaded program files/ seems to have put an end to IE spontaneously popping open. Hasn't done it once in the 3 hours this machine has been on.

Another interesting item, the host file that kept changing is not changing tonight. After ensuring the registry deletions held, I changed the addressing for the 3 questionable items and, after almost 2.5 hours the changes are still holding.

Rundll32 has not been affected - that sucker keeps restarting no matter how many times I shut it down.

I've no proof the registry entry changes are actually the cause of these changes, but it's a big coincidence.

Hi KarenA

Download Pocket Killbox and unzip it; save it to your Desktop.

Boot into safemode

Run killbox and click the radio button that says Delete a file on reboot.
Paste them one at a time into the full path of file to delete box and click the red circle with a white cross in it.
The program will ask you if you want to reboot; say No each time until the last one has been pasted in whereupon you should answer Yes.
Let the system reboot.

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ryaui.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\efiuiabd.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\cwmcat.dll

End off killbox files

Reboot into normal mode.

Please post a new HJT.log

Hey thatman!

Ran Killbox and it couldn't get rid of msg202.dll. Ran it twice, but no go. Also doesn't look like it touched the VPTNFILE or the ltp$vpn files. Oh, and I ran a trojan remover and it didn't even see those two files.

Hi KarenA

You have done a great job.

Please read through the instructions before you start (you may want to print this out).

Please download and unzip
About:Buster to a folder. Inside the folder is a readme file that has instructions on the use of the program.
AboutBuster MUST be updated before you use it.
Start AboutBuster, click the update button, check for update, drag the box to the side and hit download updates, close the box . Don't run it yet

Download CW-Shredder at the link below:
CWShredder Update the program. Don't run it yet.

Download the Hoster from here Press "Restore Original Hosts. and press "OK". Exit Program.

Reboot into safemode.

Now run About:Buster It will run two scans.

Now run CWShredder

Reboot into normal mode.

Please run the following free, online virus scans.
http://www.pandasoft...n_principal.htm
http://housecall.tre.../start_corp.asp

Please post the logs From both virus scans and HJT.log we will need them to remove previous infections that have left files on your system.

Hi thatman,

Ran AboutBuster (no idea what it did, if anything), ran CWShredder (which found nothing), ran Hoster (which changed the host file as it should have).

Ran Panda - here's the log:

Since these files do not show in the directory indicated (nor in the registry), I tried running them all through KillBox. No change on the second Panda scan.

Housecall, as usual, found nothing so there's no log available.

Ran FindIt, here's the log

Heya thatman,

- Ran program
- No files found, one user agent$ found and deleted
- Restore desktop done and Windows Explorer appeared, shut that down
- Imported Reg, clicked to find BetterInternet
- Blue screen warning of a VxD error appeared, got rid of that (the old hit any key)
- No files found, one user agent$ found and deleted
- Clicked log, nothing happened, clicked again still nothing
- Exited and restarted program
- popup from IE saying Work Offline or Try again, hit try again
- Sudden reboot
- When back up, re-ran program and found nothing

There is no log from running the VX2 program

Do you know what the msg202.dll is or secureservicepack.dll, cab, inf are? I cannot find any information on these two. The secureservicepack thing I think I can delete (with some work) but won't if it'll screw up the fixing process you are guiding me through.

What's next, oh helpful one?

Hi KarenA

No vx2.log mean vx2 is not on the system, now we move on to this infection:

Updating....

- Last FindIt run had two files listed in System Directory - irmui.dll and msg202.dll

- No information could be found on either file and both were read-only. The read-only mark is the reason msg202.dll did not delete the first time around with Killbox.

- Unchecked read-only, rebooted to safe mode and ran them through Killbox.

- At this time, both files are gone


Happy trails!

Further updating...

The LPT$VPN.518 and VPTNFILE.518 files may be part of TrendMicro's online scanning process. According to information I found, the following files (and an ActiveX control) are 'installed' with Housecall:

c:\windows\aucfg.ini
c:\windows\AuHCcup1.dll
c:\windows\AuHCcup1.ini
c:\windows\GetServer.ini
c:\windows\patch.exe
c:\windows\rm_result.dat
c:\windows\tmadce.ptn
c:\windows\tmvamain.ptn
c:\windows\tmvainfo.xml
c:\windows\tmupdate.dll
c:\windows\tmupdate.ini
c:\windows\tsc.exe
c:\windows\tsc.ini
c:\windows\tsc.ptn
c:\windows\unzip.dll
c:\windows\vsapi32.dll
c:\windows\lpt$vpn.*
c:\windows\vptnfile.*
c:\windows\au_temp
c:\windows\au_backup
c:\windows\au_log
c:\windows\debug
c:\windows\report

The files in green are not on my 'puter, but the rest are, including the additional subdirectories within Windows.

And pav.sig is, I highly suspect, a signature file from Panda's online scan.

Secureservicepack has also been found in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\#secureservicepack.com and there is one file in the directory - settings.sol In otherwords, it may very well be a legit file.

Any thoughts?

Hi KarenA

Download FindQoologic-Narrator.zip save it to your Desktop.
http://forums.net-in...ex...&id=134981

Extract (unzip) the files inside into their own folder called FindQoologic.
Open the FindQoologic folder.
Locate and double-click the Find-Qoologic.bat file to run it.
wait until a text opens, post it in a reply to your thread.
