There is a new version of Haxfix out that should deal with this particular nasty - hopefully!

I want you to go to Add/Remove Programs and remove Haxfix, then run through the following:

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)

Crossing your fingers wouldn't be a bad idea either!

You guys haven't let me down yet!! Should I put it back in the Avast quarantine chest? It doesn't appear to be doing anything - YET.....

Let's see what the fix does first - I hope this works!

Option 2 autofix

• Open this folder program files > haxfix and double click on fix.bat (or double click on fix.bat desktop icon)
• Close all other open windows since this step requires a reboot
• Select option 2. Run auto fix by typing 2 and then pressing Enter

If an infection is found, you'll get a message to close all other open windows.

• Close all open windows except the red dos window from haxfix and then press Enter
• The computer will reboot
• After reboot a logfile will open > (c:\haxfix.txt)
• Post the contents of that logfile along with a new HijackThis log.

Post the contents of that logfile along with a new HijackThis log.

The Haxfix looks to have done it's job, but i'd like to have a look at a fresh HJT log just to be sure.
All being well, you'll be in and out in minutes and off doing more useful stuff rather than hanging round here waiting for me to get my finger out!

Here ya go!!! I can't thank you enough. I'll send a donation as soon as we wrap this thin up......

[Noviciate]

I can't thank you enough.

It's Marckie's tool you have to thank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Should have mentioned this before:

You are running HJT from an unsafe location. An easy way to correct this is to do the following:

Download a copy of HJTsetup.exe from here and save it to your Desktop.

• Double click HJTsetup.exe to begin installation.
• By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
• Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
• Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
• Continue to follow the prompts from there.
• At the final dialogue box uncheck the box to the left of "Launch Hijackthis" and then click Finish

Do this BEFORE you proceed!
Delete the copy you have on your Desktop and run HJT using the shortcut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Run HijackThis as you did to generate a log, but this time click on 'Do a system scan only'.
Place a checkmark in the boxes to the left of the following entries, by clicking on them:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F} - C:\PROGRA~1\SPYBOT~1\SDHelper.dll (file missing)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UserFaultCheck] %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -u

CLOSE ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND BROWSERS - EXCEPT HJT and click on Fix checked

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are running an old version of Sun Java which needs updating:

• Go here and click on the Download button to the right of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 8.
• Accept the license agreement by clicking the radio button.
• Under Windows Platform - J2SE™ Runtime Enviroment 5.0 Update 8, click the Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language link.
• Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove any entries that refer to Java 2 Runtime Enviroment and then reboot your PC.
• Navigate to and delete the following folder, if it exists: C:\Program Files\Java.
• Finally double click the installation file that you downloaded earlier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As long as you have no problems with the above, I want you to run your PC as normal for a few days. When you are happy that everything is fine, do the following:

Update your anti-virus program,
Disable System Restore,
Boot into Safe Mode,
Scan your computer for viruses.
When you get the all clear, reboot into Normal Mode.
Re-enable System Restore,
Create a Restore Point.
This will give a clean Restore Point should you need it in the future.
A tutorial for System Restore is available here.

The reason for waiting is that if removing the malware has caused a problem, which it occasionally does, you can put your PC back to how it was before the fix. This will re-install the malware, but an infected PC is better than an expensive paperweight!

Some bedtime reading: This is a very good tutorial about keeping your computer safe and secure on the internet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now go and do something more interesting with your spare time!

[ddday]

Whew!!! It's been a lotta fun!!! thanks so much for being patient. I will do the system restore thing in a few days. Thank Marckie for me.........



Ddday

Until next time............................
